Bwthyn Gwynant
Small but with a wealth of facilities, Beddgelert forms an ideal picturesque base for exploring the beauty and culture of Snowdonia and North Wales. The village has several inns, restaurants, craft shops, an award winning ice-cream and pizza parlour and a well-stocked village store, all within a few minutes walk of the cottage.
A short distance from the village centre are forests, lakes and, of course, mountains, including Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales and England (3560 ft). Two of the main footpaths up Snowdon begin from the edge of the parish, with two more only a short drive away.
Mountain bikes are available to hire nearby in Beddgelert Forest, where there are marked trails for all abilities to follow and to take in stunning views along the way. If this sounds too energetic, there are mountain railways, golf courses, beautiful beaches and a wealth of other attractions, within easy driving distance. Portmeirion Village is approximately a twenty minute drive from the cottage, set on its own private peninsula on the southern shores of Snowdonia and is well worth a visit.
There are also a number of National Trust properties in the surrounding area including Penrhyn Castle, Plas Newydd and the world famous Bodnant Gardens, situated above the River Conwy, with beautiful views across Snowdonia.
Whatever you intend to do on your holiday, Beddgelert offers the visitor a warm welcome and Bwthyn Gwynant, the perfect base from which to explore the area.
