Additional Information

Essentials provided: soap, toilet roll, dishcloths, and cleaning products

Bedding, towels, and blankets included at no extra cost

Electricity is via a top-up meter—we cover typical usage, but in winter a small top-up may occasionally be needed. Rates are reduced during colder months to help offset this.

Bring the family, pack your hiking boots (and your dogs!), and make Watkin Cabin your home base for exploring Snowdonia and North Wales.
