Caban Dyfi – A tranquil, dog-friendly woodland escape in Wales Nestled high on a wooded hillside overlooking the Dyfi Estuary, Caban Dyfi is a peaceful, dog-friendly accommodation perfect for nature lovers, walkers, and anyone seeking a quiet get-away in Wales. With breathtaking views, direct access to scenic walks, and a warm welcome for up to three dogs at no extra cost, this cosy cabin offers a budget-friendly short break or last minute holiday in the heart of Gwynedd.
Your perfect escape in nature
Tucked away on the southern edge of Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, Caban Dyfi is one of just five cabins along a quiet lane. From the moment you arrive via the newly resurfaced private road, you’ll feel the world slow down. Wake up to birdsong, watch the tide shift across the estuary, and enjoy the call of curlews and owls as dusk falls. The cabin is surrounded by wildlife - badgers, foxes, and woodpeckers are regular visitors.

Dog-friendly FAQs
How many dogs are allowed?
Up to 3 dogs are welcome at no extra cost. Caban Dyfi is a small chalet, so please consider space if you’re bringing very large dogs. Please get in touch if you want to bring more than 3 dogs and we will do our best to accommodate.
How secure is the garden?
The garden surrounding the chalet has 3ft fences, hedging and shrubs (up to 4–5ft in summer), and 4ft gates. The upper terrace behind the chalet is not fenced – please keep dogs on lead there as it backs onto farmland.
Are dogs allowed on the furniture?
We know keeping dogs off furniture and beds isn’t always easy – we won’t insist. But please wipe muddy paws and give the vac a quick go before you leave. It helps us keep cleaning and letting costs down.
Do I need to bring dog bedding?
Yes – please bring your own dog bedding.
Are there rules for dogs in the chalet park?
Yes – all dogs must be kept on lead while in the chalet park and on the farmland behind it.
Are there sheep nearby?
Yes – the chalet backs onto farmland and sheep can sometimes be seen in the trees behind.
Is Caban Dyfi suitable for reactive dogs?
It depends on your dog. The area is very peaceful – ideal for noise-sensitive dogs – but there are two dogs next door, and occasional visiting dogs at neighbouring chalets.
Are there quiet areas to walk reactive dogs nearby?
Yes, please get in touch with us and we can give you some pointers depending on what your dog needs. We have a reactive dog ourselves so we understand how hard it is to plan a holiday around a dog that struggles.
