Basecamp Wales offers family-run hostel accommodation in Llanllyfni, on the edge of the Snowdonia National Park and 30.3 km from Pen-Y-Pass and 8.2 km to the beach at Dinas Dinlle. Free WiFi is offered in public areas and free private parking is available on site. It was an incredibly beautiful place, and what made it even more special was the warm welcome I received upon arrival and the kind farewell when I left. I truly wished I could have stayed at the hotel for an entire month. I will definitely be visiting again in the coming days, and I highly recommend this accommodation to anyone looking for a wonderful place to stay—it really is exceptional. I’m already planning to return and stay for a longer period next time. My little ones absolutely loved the animals nearby, especially the chickens. They truly enjoyed the place.

Built in 19th century, this 4-star hostel is within 40 km of Portmeirion and 44 km of Llandudno Pier. The property is non-smoking and is situated 13 km from Snowdon. What an absolute gem of a place to stay! The owners were very welcoming, the hostel is spotlessly clean, and such a quirky set up being an old school. Loved that! Highly recommend a stay! I arrived at night but waking up early and seeing the views from the hostel was lovely, its in a beautiful spot! Please take the time to wander along the road to the old slate quarry, well worth a visit!

The bunkhouse was everything we needed as a group of lads visiting Dyfi bike park for the wknd. 5min drive into town is perfect for an evening meal, a few pubs and an Indian restaurant to choose from. This is our go to accommodation, our 4th stay to date and won’t be our last. The cottage is a luxury if your happy to splash out :-)
