About the site

A welcoming eco site, at the bottom of Snowdonia (Eryri) National Park, and five minutes from the coastal village of Aberdyfi! The site's private woodlands are fun to explore and a great place for kids and dogs to let off steam. It is a small, quiet site, by the River Dyfi, offering a peaceful location for your holiday. There are nine touring pitches, all a good size and all with electric hook ups. The four 9m x 6m lower terrace pitches are on a separate gravel area, which is great for all weather conditions. The four upper terrace pitches are on grassier terrain and offer a bit more space. There is also a smaller pitch on its own, suitable for small campervans and small motorhomes only. For family glampers, you can choose from a spacious bell tent, a handcrafted yurt, a converted horse lorry and a geodome. They all have flexible sleeping options, so are great for friends too. For romantic or solo getaways, there's also the cosy woodland cabin or vintage caravan. The glamping accommodations are all individually set up, with their own unique touches. They all have private outside space with seating and a fire pit, perfect for toasting marshmallows! They're fully furnished with proper beds and all bedding included. They have their own well-equipped rustic kitchen, so you can enjoy a comfortable stay without the fuss. The vintage caravan has an electric heater, and the dome, yurt, horse box and cabin have wood burners, so you can have a cosy stay, whatever the weather! The site also has a wood-fired pizza oven, which the owners fire up weekly during the school holidays and on other busy Saturdays throughout the year. Do check in advance if pizzas are on during your stay. Four-legged friends are welcome in all the glamping accommodation, except the vintage caravan, as well as on all touring pitches. Aberdyfi beach has a big sandy beach where dogs can run for miles (and miles!) and has dog-friendly areas all year round. And there are plenty of dog-friendly cafes and pubs afterwards for post-walk refreshments.

Touring pitches and glamping accommodation are available from April until November 2nd. Bell tents are available from May until 20th September. Pitches from £25/night for 2 people.

A note from the site themselves...

Nyth Robin is owned and run by Sadie and Grant. We fell in love with the site (which was then just a small caravan site) and the area during a holiday to Aberdyfi in 2015. A year and a bit later, we opened as Nyth Robin with a brand new toilet block and our first glamping bell tents. Since then, we continue to enjoy improving and 'upgrading' Nyth Robin.

The site is a haven for bird life, and we enjoy the constant background chatter of the birds, especially in the spring when you'll most likely be woken up by the dawn chorus!

We are passionate about looking after our environment, and you'll see many reused and upcycled touches around the site. Grant is the master craftsman, enjoying creating spaces and structures, sustainably with wood from our woodlands.

We look forward to welcoming you to our small slice of Welsh heaven soon!

Things to do on site and in the Aberdovey area

The pretty seaside village of Aberdovey is just five minutes away and offers good old-fashioned seaside fun. Kids love a day on the sandy beach and crabbing off the pier. Like any seaside village worth its salt, it offers great ice cream and fish and chips. There are also art and gift shops, cafes, great restaurants and three (yes, three) pubs to choose from!

If walking's your thing, then the Wales Coast Path can be accessed from the site. Aberdyfi is about a two hour walk with stunning views over the Welsh hills and the Dyfi Estuary. For something more adventurous, Snowdonia offers a walk up nearby Cadair Idris (the second largest summit in Wales), a rewarding climb, 25 minutes away.

For fun on two wheels, there's plenty of off-road choice for all levels and ages at Coed Y Brenin (55 minutes). The nearby Dyfi Forest (15 minutes) has some awesome trails, some bike friendly, and the Mawddach Trail, 40 minutes away offers a family-friendly and flat cycling option! For road cycling, there are some great routes from the site.

Jump on the Cambrian Coast railway line at Aberdyfi (5 minutes) or Machynlleth (15 minutes) and enjoy the breathtaking scenery as it hugs the Cardigan bay coast line all the way to Pwllehi.

Or take a step back in time with the famous steam trains on the Tal-Y-Llyn Railway line (15 minutes) and stop off at Dolgoch for a very pretty walk to the waterfalls.
