Plas Weunydd

For the Plas Weunydd complex comprises a trio of terrific places to stay, all boasting scenery to stun and easy access to the many adrenaline-filled attractions that Snowdonia is famous for.

Right in the heart of Wales’ most spectacular national park and based in the atmospheric surroundings of a former slate quarry near Blaenau Ffestiniog, you’re truly spoiled for choice for accommodation here. There’s the titular Plas Weunydd hotel – 4-star, dog-friendly and newly refurbished for 2025; the family-friendly safari lodges of Llechwedd Glamping; and Barlwyd Shepherd’s Huts’ classic cosy cabins for couples. Facilities are first-class whether you opt for a self-catering stay in Snowdonia or prefer the comforts of a boutique hotel experience which, for our money, ranks among Snowdonia’s finest.

And then there’s the activities – try mountain biking at Antur ‘Stiniog, take to the skies at Zip World Llechwedd, or explore the subterranean at the historic slate caverns. There’s a whole host of breathtaking walks to enjoy – a visit to the Cwmorthin Waterfalls is not to be missed. And, of course, Snowdon / Yr Wyddfa itself looms nearby – there’s a trail to the top or if you’re less fleet-of-foot, catch the heritage mountain railway.
