The Finest B&B Accommodation in Betws-y-Coed
The wooded lanes above the main road are where most people wake up in this village, five minutes from the bridge with the forest at the end of the street. The Gwydir Forest wraps the whole place, so a path into the trees is never far from the door.

The riverside path along the Afon Llugwy starts at Pont-y-Pair and runs a mile and a half up towards the falls. Llyn Elsi is a stiffer four miles round from behind St Mary's church. If the weather has closed the tops in, Conwy Falls is open through the summer season, with a one-way path down to it through ten acres of ancient woodland.
Look at where a place actually sits before you book — the village and the hillsides above it are different mornings, and the lanes climb steeply.
The arithmetic explains this village. In the early 1870s Betws-y-Coed had about five hundred people living in a hundred and three houses, and every summer they were overwhelmed. A writer called Hall described it in 1881: the artists’ white tents and umbrellas made the fields look like the encampment of an invading army.
The squeeze is older than the railway. In 1846 a party that arrived to find the Royal Oak full had to go back down the valley and sleep at Llanrwst. The numbers have never really added up since.
The season is still the problem. Rooms here go earlier than almost anywhere else in Eryri, and half term and the August weeks are the tightest of the year. Book those before you book anything else about the trip.
The Eryri National Park Information Centre sits in the old Royal Oak Stables by the station. It opens daily from half past nine until five, and it is worth a call in before you head for the high paths.
The short walks start in the village itself. Coed Tan Dinas is seven-tenths of a mile on a boardwalk wide enough for a wheelchair. The riverside path up the Llugwy runs a mile and a half, and the climb to Llyn Elsi is a stiffer four miles from behind St Mary’s Church.
If this village is full, the valley has answers. Llanrwst is four miles north on the same railway line, and Betws-y-Coed station sits in the middle of the village.
B&Bs in Betws-y-Coed — your questions answered
- How much do B&Bs in Betws-y-Coed cost?
- From £60 a night, and ten of the twelve here are under £100. This is the busiest village in the park and rooms go early. If you want August or half term, book well ahead. The dearest on the page is £110, so the spread is narrow by Snowdonia standards.
- Is breakfast included?
- At eleven of the twelve of them it is in the rate. Ask the night before if you want an early one for the hills — the kitchens here are small, so it is a request rather than a given. Seven of the twelve take a booking direct, which makes that easier to arrange.
- Can we bring the dog?
- Seven of the twelve B&Bs and guest houses here take dogs, so use the Pets Allowed filter rather than assuming. Three of the five hotels and inns in the village take them too. The Gwydir forest tracks are good dog walking all year, though felling work closes trails from time to time.
- How far is Yr Wyddfa from here?
- Betws-y-Coed sits on the eastern side of the park, so the main Snowdon paths are a drive west. The Sherpa’r Wyddfa S1 runs that way if you would rather not take the car. If getting up Yr Wyddfa is the whole point of the week, Llanberis or Beddgelert start you closer.
- Can we get here by train?
- Yes, on the Conwy Valley line, which reopened in October 2025 after four weeks of work costing £1.4m. There are six trains each way, and Llandudno to Blaenau Ffestiniog takes about fifty-seven minutes. The station is unstaffed with no ticket machine, so buy on board or in advance.
- Where should we park?
- There are three car parks and two different councils run them, so the rates differ. The National Park long stay is £8 a day and takes card only, never cash. Pont y Pair, run by Conwy, has 54 spaces and charges £2 for an hour. Nothing at the station is free.
There are twelve B&Bs and guest houses in the village, at £60 to £110 a night, with breakfast in the rate at eleven of the twelve. Betws-y-Coed bed and breakfast accommodation suits an early start and a village you can walk out of. Seven owners take a booking straight from you.
