Hotels in Snowdonia
30 handpicked places to stay

With 222 hotels and B&Bs across Snowdonia, the choice runs from farmhouse bed and breakfasts to characterful country houses, and where you base yourself makes a real difference to the trip. Llanberis suits anyone tackling the mountains, with its proximity to the paths up Yr Wyddfa, while Dolgellau and Bala offer a quieter, market-town feel with the Mawddach and Cambrian ranges close at hand.
The coastal towns have their own character: Barmouth and Criccieth combine sea views with easy access to the hills, and Harlech pairs its castle with beaches and golf. Portmeirion is a category apart, with the village itself part of the appeal.
Places like Abercelyn Country House, Borthwnog Hall and Plas Tan-yr-Allt Country House show the strength in period properties with grounds, while Tyddyn Perthi Farm and Heulwen Guest House represent the simpler, working-farm style of stay found throughout the region.
