We're part of the Snowdonia Dark Sky Reserve Project
The guests who visit us from cities often stand open mouthed at their first sight of night sky when they visit Cadair View Lodge. Wall to wall (or horizon to horizon stars) stars is no exaggeration! Whether you've grabbed your coat and a cup of hot chocolate for 5 minutes on the deck to see the night sky on a frosty Winter's night or lie for hours on our deck with a bottle of wine in the Summer trying to be the first to spot a shooting star, you will remember the sight.
Have you ever seen the Milky Way? a satellite passing over? a meteor shower? the mountains on the moon? the Northern Lights (rare but it happens)? Get a clear night, few hours or even minutes and these things are possible when you stay at Cadair View Lodge log cabins.

See what view you might get from each cabin
Caban Eryri - front of the cabin faces roughly west, towards the Rhinog Mountains (often lit by the moon - especially on a frosty / snowy Winter's night). Limited views to North and East. Good view to the South.
Cadair View Lodge - front of the cabin faces roughly south towards Cadair Idris. The cabin has a wrap around deck on 2 sides (south and west) so great for following the progress of something. Limited view to North and East.
Haulfryn - front of cabin faces roughly west. Limited view to North and East. Good view to the South.
Ty Coed - front of cabin faces roughly south. No view to North. Limited view to West. Good view to South.
Y Ffrwd - this cabin has a limited view of the night sky due to a thicket of trees across the path. There is a view straight up! But with a couple of minutes walk there is a good view to South and East.

There are some great dark sky view points that are easily accessible on the local hills. Some give more or less a 360 panorama of the night sky. Some are within walking distance. Trawsfynydd Lake gives a view to the North which is useful when looking out for the Northern LIghts. Ask if you'd lime more information and suggestions.
