About

Tucked into a grassy hillside on the edge of Mallwyd near Dinas Mawddwy, Nant yr Esgair is a magical, fairy-tale-like hideaway offering a peaceful escape in the heart of southern Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park. This unique, single-storey hut is the perfect setting for a couple or small group of up to four guests looking to disconnect and soak in panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and countryside.

Inside

The hut features a beautifully designed open-plan interior, complete with a corner sofa positioned to take full advantage of the stunning views through glass doors. A Smart TV and wood-effect furnishings add comfort and character. The compact kitchen is fully equipped for creating simple meals, and a breakfast bar makes dining casual and convenient. At night, relax in the king-size bedroom, while the sofa converts into a double bed for extra guests. A sleek shower room with a walk-in cubicle and heated towel rail adds a touch of luxury.

Outside

Surrounded by rolling fields and woodland views, the outdoor space is a true highlight. Step onto the private, sheltered deck to dine alfresco, or slip into the wood-fired oak barrel hot tub for a serene soak under the stars.
