Ty Gwyn Apartment

A Characterful Apartment in Historic Betws-y-Coed

The Ty Gwyn Apartment is a charming one-bedroom retreat set within the historic Ty Gwyn inn in the heart of Betws-y-Coed, the gateway village to Eryri (Snowdonia). Full of period character, with exposed beams and centuries of history all around, it makes a welcoming self-catering base for two — perfectly placed for exploring the rivers, waterfalls and mountains of the national park right from the door.

The apartment

Sleeping two, the apartment has a comfortable one-bedroom layout with a queen-size bed and the home comforts you need for a relaxed stay, including tea and coffee making facilities and free WiFi. It sits within a centuries-old former travellers’ inn, so it is full of genuine character — think exposed beam ceilings and the kind of atmosphere that only a building with real history can offer. It is an ideal romantic base for a couple, and there is free parking at the property — a real plus in a busy village.

What makes it special

The appeal here is the combination of a characterful, multi-award-winning historic inn and an unbeatable village-centre location. Being able to step straight out into Betws-y-Coed — with its cafés, outdoor shops and riverside walks — and then retreat to a peaceful, period apartment is a lovely way to experience Snowdonia. Please note the apartment does not accept pets.

Betws-y-Coed and Snowdonia

Betws-y-Coed sits where the Conwy, Llugwy and Lledr rivers meet, surrounded by the ancient woodland of the Gwydir Forest. The pretty Pont-y-Pair bridge and the magical Fairy Glen are close by, and the village itself is the lively hub of southern Snowdonia, full of cafés, galleries and outdoor shops.

Exploring the area

From the apartment the best of Snowdonia is within easy reach. Swallow Falls, one of the most famous waterfalls in Wales, is just up the road, the climbing village of Capel Curig and the foot of Mount Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa) are a short drive away, and the Gwydir Forest offers gentler woodland and lakeside trails. For families and thrill-seekers, Zip World and the slate-quarry adventures add to the mix. Whatever the weather, there is plenty to do.

Good to know

Staying right in the centre of Betws-y-Coed is a real advantage — the village is the hub of southern Snowdonia, and being able to leave the car parked and walk to the cafés, outdoor shops and riverside paths takes the effort out of a mountain holiday. A self-catering apartment within a historic inn gives you the best of both: the character and central setting of the inn, with the independence and flexibility of your own space. The free parking is a genuine bonus in a village that gets busy in season. Betws-y-Coed is glorious year-round, from green, leafy summers to crisp, atmospheric winters, and a characterful base like this makes a lovely retreat for a couple whatever the weather decides to do.
