1883 Guesthouse powered 100% by renewable energy set in the heart of Snowdonia. The ( 13 mile long) Ffestiniog Steam railway chuffs in bends around our acre of mountainside / garden to Tanygrisiau station 200m away. Waving at the train usually gets a toot. We are graded by Visit Wales and have 6 ensuite rooms. 3 of which are ground floor. Some accept dogs. Some are wet rooms great for wheel chairs and less mobile.
Ideally situated in the heart of Snowdonia with transport links to die for. Within 200m is No 37 bus and the Ffestiniog steam railway. Within 2m is Blaenau ffestiniog town with bus /steam train and mainline trains. London Euston is one change at Llandudno Junction.
