An independently owned glamping and camping site in Mid Wales has expanded its accommodation offering with the addition of a new dome structure designed to attract families, couples, and small groups seeking nature-based stays near Aberdyfi.
Nyth Robin, located in a woodland setting close to Snowdonia National Park and the Cardigan Bay coastline, has introduced the Derwen Dome as part of a £20,000 investment, supported in part by the Welsh Government’s Future Proofing Fund.
Supplied by Tru Domes, based in Nuneaton, the seven-metre dome offers space for up to six guests, with a maximum of four adults.
According to the Cambrian News, features include a configurable super-king bed, kitchenette, and wood-burning stove. Located in a quiet area of the site, the dome also provides guests with a private outdoor seating area, a firepit, and access to shared eco-friendly toilet and shower facilities. It is also dog-friendly.
The new addition is part of a broader strategy by Nyth Robin to meet growing demand for low-impact tourism options while offering year-round comfort.
The Derwen Dome is available for bookings from March to December and is positioned to appeal to visitors who want to experience the outdoors without compromising on convenience.
“This new space builds on our aim to offer guests something that feels both relaxed and considered,” said Sadie Porter, who co-owns the site with her husband Grant.
“Derwen Dome gives people room to slow down and enjoy the natural setting without having to give up comfort or privacy.”
Alongside the new dome, Nyth Robin’s existing offerings include a yurt, a converted horsebox, a woodland cabin, and several touring pitches. The site also hosts wood-fired pizza nights on weekends and provides easy access to walking and cycling trails.
Nyth Robin is a member of MWT Cymru (Mid Wales Tourism), a regional organisation that represents around 600 tourism and hospitality businesses across Powys, Ceredigion, and Southern Eryri (Snowdonia).
The business also takes part in regional sustainability efforts, reflecting a broader trend among independent holiday operators aiming to align with eco-tourism principles.
For outdoor hospitality professionals, the investment in dome accommodation highlights an ongoing shift toward experiential and environmentally mindful stays.
Operators seeking to diversify their offerings may find value in the model adopted by Nyth Robin, which combines comfort with nature immersion while making use of targeted funding opportunities like the Welsh Government’s Future Proofing Fund.
