This is an amazing tranquil site, nestled in the hills with a stream running next to it, with plenty of walks available from the site. Everything is kept neat and tidy and very well maintained. Its an ideal base for exploring either on foot or by car.
The owner was a fantastic host and very friendly with plenty of local advice.
We will be back!
We recently stayed here for 1 night whilst passing through the area and wished it could have been longer. The site was very well kept and Rupert, the owner, was extremly welcoming with lots of advice about the local area. The outstanding feature was the setting..... absolutely stunning scenery with mountains, woods, river and the Mawddach trail on the doorstep. We will definitely return when we are next in the area.

This was a real find. We stayed for a few nights in May and wanted a peaceful site close to the Mawddach Trail to cycle to Barmouth and Dolgellau. This delivered everything we wanted and was right on the Trail which was great for cycling or walking. Rupert was also super friendly and couldn't do enough to make sure you had everything you needed during your stay. He was probably the kindest and most pro-active host you could hope for!
We had a wonderful stay and hopefully will be back to walk up Cadair Idris which we didn't manage on this trip.
We stayed for 2 nights in July and were blown away with how beautiful this site is. With a little river, huge redwoods and a wonderful woodland to explore right from the site it felt perfect. There is a super pub just down the road, it is easy to get to the amazing wild coast and Barmouth is a great little seaside town. Walks of all levels are within easy reach. Eating dinner with amazing forest views backed by the sound of the river was wonderful.
What a gem of a CL Site! If you want a tranquil location with excellent facilities and good access to the many beautiful parts of Wales then this is it.
Swn y Nant means “Sound of the Stream” and that’s what you get. Added to this you get birdsong, sounds of horses in the fields and hooting owls at night.
I should mention that occasionally you have the sound of fast jets and other aircraft training in the hills and valley’s particularly at the “Mach Loop” near Machynlleth. For most this is not a problem and often a real bonus as you get to see aircraft up close and in some cases below you if you venture up to the top of the valley. Just search Mach loop on Google.
A great site!
First time at this site and for sure not the last! Loved it for the peace, scenery and dog walks. Dogs loved it too. We have a disabled dog and she uses a stroller when she can't keep up with our other dogs and this was ideal - flat walks, easy for a stroller, easy for an elderly dog and plenty of those all important sniffs! Next time will will certainly be staying longer.
We enjoyed a week in paradise at Swn-Y-Nant in a heat wave in July! What an idyllic location, well-situated for many local activities and amenities, yet in a most beautiful and peaceful setting. We were greeted and looked after very well by Rupert. We will definitely be returning!
Thoroughly enjoyed my stay here!
Was welcomed by Rupert as soon as I arrived. He is easily accessible, his house being close to site. Gave me information about the area and buses in the area. Weather in April was very dry and almost cloudless skies for my 5 night stay ,though a little cool.
Excellent place for walking and cycling with Mawddach Trail easily accessible. On one day an easy cycle ride to Dolgellau then back to Penmaenpool then across bridge to walk up to the New Precipice Ridge for fabulous view of the estuary! Then on another climbing Cader Idris., again being lucky with superb views!
Lady looking after the horses in the field opposite the site told me how old they were and their temperaments!( the oldest was 30 years old !!)
Would thoroughly recommend this sight.
