Medieval Farmhouse

A historic farmhouse with hot tub near Betws-y-Coed

This characterful sub-medieval farmhouse near Betws-y-Coed offers a real step back in time, steeped in history yet comfortably equipped for a modern holiday. Detached and set on a 200-acre organic farm at Capel Garmon, it sleeps up to nine across four bedrooms, with a private hot tub, a wood burner and a games room — a wonderful, dog-friendly self-catering retreat in the heart of Eryri (Snowdonia).

The farmhouse

The farmhouse has four bedrooms — two doubles, a double with a single bed and a twin — comfortably sleeping a family or group of up to nine, with a bathroom, an en-suite, a wet room and a separate WC between them. The well-equipped kitchen has an electric oven, hob, microwave, dishwasher and coffee machine, and the period character of the old building is matched by a smart TV and the comforts you need for a relaxed stay. A wood burner adds warmth on cooler evenings.

Hot tub, games room and grounds

Outside there is a private hot tub — a real treat after a day on the hills — along with an enclosed garden with patios and a barbecue. A games room (with a pool table, table football and darts) is great for families and rainy afternoons, and there is lockable storage for bikes and canoes, handy for the active. Private parking for up to four cars is provided, and the setting on a large organic farm is genuinely peaceful, with dogs welcome too.
