Bryn Llewelyn B&B

A traditional Victorian B&B in the heart of Betws-y-Coed

Bryn Llewelyn is a traditional Victorian stone-built guest house right in the centre of Betws-y-Coed, the much-loved gateway village to Snowdonia (Eryri). Remarkably, it has been run as a bed and breakfast for over a hundred years, and that long experience shows in the warm, easy welcome and the comfortable, well-kept rooms. With the village shops, pubs and cafés within a five-minute walk and the train station less than half a mile away, it makes a genuinely convenient and characterful base for exploring the national park.

The rooms

The bedrooms are stylishly and comfortably decorated, each with its own private or en-suite shower room, and come well equipped with tea- and coffee-making facilities, a Freeview TV and a welcome folder to help you make the most of the area. There is a cosy guest lounge for relaxing in after a day on the hills, and the whole house has the homely, lived-in warmth of a long-established family B&B rather than an anonymous hotel. It is the kind of place where the hosts know the area inside out and are happy to point you towards the best walks and views.

Breakfast, parking and the practical bits

A traditional full cooked breakfast is served each morning in the dining room, with vegetarian options available — a proper start before heading out into Snowdonia. One of Bryn Llewelyn’s most useful features is the free on-site parking, with a space provided for each room, which is a genuine bonus in a village as busy as Betws-y-Coed where parking can be at a premium. There is WiFi throughout, and the central location means you can leave the car behind and explore the village on foot.

Betws-y-Coed and Snowdonia

Betws-y-Coed sits in beautiful wooded countryside where the Conwy, Llugwy and Lledr rivers meet, on the edge of the Gwydir Forest. From Bryn Llewelyn you can stroll to the famous Pont-y-Pair bridge and the village’s renowned outdoor shops, while the spectacular Swallow Falls are a short way up the valley. The wider national park is all within easy reach — the peaks around Snowdon, the forest trails, Zip World and the scenic Conwy Valley railway that runs through the village. The quirky Tŷ Hyll (the “Ugly House”), the mountain-biking and walking trails of the Gwydir Forest, and the climbing village of Capel Curig are all close by, giving you plenty to fill a long weekend without travelling far.
