Cabins for Hire Trawsfynydd Holiday Village is open all year except for November and our cabins can be hired for a short break or a week or two. All the log cabins on site are privately owned and so the layouts shown below depict a typical cabin. Every cabin will vary a little from these depictions, as each owner will have personalised their cabin for example by using different furnishings, changing the layout a little or extending the veranda and decking areas. Many of our owners allow a pet to stay, but not all. Descriptions and pictures of each cabin can be found on our online booking pages.
