A beautiful building at the base of Mount Snowdon set in countryside. The manager was amazing and helpful as we're all the staff. The bar is reasonably priced and the breakfast is excellent, with a wide selection of fruit and cereals and a lovely full Welsh breakfast to go with it. The rooms are immaculate and the bathroom very spacious and suitable for disabled travelers. All in all I would heartily recommend Craflwyn Hall to any visitor.

Beautiful building and estate owned by the National Trust. We stayed in a studio type out building conversion. Perfect for 2 and a dog. Footpaths from the door let you explore Eryri, the hills, mountains, lakes and towns all within walking distance. Although it being early October it was warm. I swam in waterfall pools and lakes and walked for miles. Llyn Dinas was perfectly still and quiet, with not a soul about for much of the morning. The nearby Beddgelert is a charming little town with some great eateries and independent shops. If you love to explore in natural surroundings avoiding the crowds then an out of season visit is well worth it.

We had a wonderful stay at Craflywn Hall. The property is superb, with excellent facilities and immaculate cleanliness. The location is also ideal, with Beddgelert within walking distance and Snowdon close by. The only improvements we would suggest are clearer privacy and private parking signs. We had several members of the public wander up to the house asking to look around or inquiring about a café, and a few even attempted to use the parking area. As a large group, we only had enough parking spaces for our own party, and when you’ve paid a considerable amount for a relaxing break, you don’t want to be concerned about parking or unexpected visitors at the door. It would also be a nice touch if the bedrooms without en-suites provided bathrobes. Overall, it was a fantastic stay, and we look forward to returning.

We stayed in Yr Hen and Stabl Bach in Sept 2023. Both cottages were well equipped and very comfortable. Great to be able to walk straight out on to various footpaths. We dog enjoyed it all!

More of a historic reference but location wise this place is top notch. Years ago some friends and I renovated an old barn here. The then owner Nemro and his wife were short-fuse people but generally pretty agreeable. The renovated barn enabled us to spend many happy times there. It was a walkers delight and I’m sure there was a stations of the cross path through the rhododendrons. Great pubs in the village too.

This is now a self catering holiday home sleeping 16 in 8 rooms. Superbly decorated and equipped, excellently heated, luxury bathrooms there is even a bar as well as three lounges. Lovely walks from the door with Beddgelert just down the road if you don't want to cook! Highly recommended.
