Tyn-y-Coed Hotel, Capel Curig

A Traditional Inn in the Heart of Snowdonia

The Tyn-y-Coed Hotel is a much-loved traditional Welsh inn at Capel Curig, on the A5 in the very heart of Snowdonia (Eryri), midway between Betws-y-Coed and the foot of the high mountains. Stylishly refurbished as an adventure “basecamp,” it combines characterful, comfortable rooms — several with wonderful mountain views — with a welcoming bar and a restaurant, making it a brilliant base for walkers, climbers, families and anyone heading out to explore the peaks, forests and zip lines of North Wales.

Comfortable, Stylish Rooms

The inn offers a great range of recently refurbished en-suite rooms, smartly decorated in calm greens and greys with feature panelling, soft throws and crisp white bedding. There are doubles, twins and larger family rooms — including a fun room with bunk beds for groups and families — and several rooms frame superb views out across the Snowdonia mountains. Every room has its own bathroom, a TV and tea- and coffee-making facilities, so there is everywhere to relax after a big day outdoors.

Bar, Restaurant and Breakfast

Downstairs, the characterful bar and restaurant are the heart of the inn — a sociable, welcoming spot to refuel with a hearty meal and a drink after a day in the hills. A good cooked breakfast sets you up for the day, and there is no need to head out in the evening when there is food and a warm welcome right where you are staying.

Capel Curig and Snowdonia

Few places put you closer to the action than Capel Curig, one of Snowdonia’s classic mountain villages. The inn is superbly placed for the peaks — Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), the Glyderau and the Carneddau are all within easy reach — and for the zip lines and underground adventures of Zip World. The pretty village of Betws-y-Coed, with its shops, cafes and the famous Swallow Falls, is just down the A5, and the lakes and crags around Capel Curig are a magnet for walkers and climbers.

Exploring Further Afield

There is plenty more to discover. The historic walled town of Conwy, with its mighty castle, and the seaside resort of Llandudno are within easy reach for a day by the coast, while the slate landscapes of Llanberis and the steam railways of Snowdonia make for memorable days out whatever the weather.
