The Experience

The steeply wooded Conwy valley snakes down to this stone and slate property set back and above the road in the National Park, and the walks are wonderful. Stride to the village, or to Conwy Falls or simply stroll down to the river to cool your feet on a hot day. You arrive to homemade cakes and a cup of tea which you can take in the sitting room by a warming wood-burner.

Inside has an upbeat traditional feel with polished antiques and many pictures by the Betws-y-coed Victorian artists who once lived here. Bedrooms are colourful and comfortable and one of the bathrooms comes with a double-ended roll top tub and views of Lledr Valley. Wake to porridge, a full Welsh breakfast with homemade hash browns, soda bread, haddock or a vegetarian option. Vegans can ask for special sausages made in the village.

Above all you’ll know you’re in Wales. Your hosts’ enthusiasm for this glorious part of the world is infectious, so do explore!

Reviews

Agnès, MARSEILLES Aug 2025

Marvellous experience in this lovely country house! Gwawr offered us a warm welcome and and a lot of good advices about this part of Wales. The room was more a little appartement than a room and we felt better than home because we din't have to prepare the (delicious) breakfast ourself! The bathroom and the room were very clean and the mattress very comfortable. A big "Merci!" for this really pleasant stay.

Monique, Malaucène Aug 2025

We very much enjoyed our stay at Pengwern: beautiful country house furnished and decorated with taste, top of the range breakfast, warm and friendly welcome; everything was done to make our stay enjoyable. Wish we had stayed longer. Thank you Gwawr and Ian

Michael, Leicester Jun 2025

A perfect place - very relaxing and peaceful. Gwawr & Ian were wonderful hosts and it was a privilege to stay in their beautiful home

Barry, Canterbury Apr 2025

Gwawr and Ian were exceptionally friendly and informative to us. It is an excellent location for hiking round Snowdonia. Situated just outside Betws -y-Coed, you can walk into the village where there are numerous quality eating places. My son particularly loved the breakfasts, which were first rate in every aspect. I found the owners sincere people, and these days it is getting harder to find this quality.

Joanne, Sunshine Coast Mar 2025

What a fantastic stay. We were so warmly welcomed and felt very comfortable. The breakfasts were amazing as was Gwawr and Ian’s knowledge of the area, Welsh culture and history. We’re so grateful they shared their gorgeous home with us for a few days. If you’re looking to explore Snowdonia, look no further than this lovely B&B.

Location

The neighbourhood

It's 1.5 miles to Betws-y-coed for a good choice of places to eat, many outdoorsy shops and a railway station. Drive 20 minutes to tackle Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) but there are also castles, road and mountain cycling, underground adventures, wildlife, waterfalls and fascinating art and history. Llandudno is a 40-minute drive for a stunning beach and on summer Sundays you can be lifted by the Welsh choir performing in the church.

Local points of interest from Gwawr & Ian Mowatt

PENGWERN, overlooking the beautiful LLEDR VALLEY, is the perfect base for the great outdoors and a central location to explore North Wales and all it has to offer whether ON, ABOVE or BELOW the Welsh landscape!
Located 1m away, BETWS-Y-COED was an artist colony in Victorian times, know today as the ‘The Gateway to ERYRI National Park (Snowdonia)’, an all year round destination where Welsh art can still be found along with cafes, mountaineering and craft shops
Can’t pronounce Betws-y-coed? We will teach you! Welsh language and culture is very much alive. Male Voice Choir concerts during summer, visit castles, GWYDIR(4m) or DOLWYDDELAN(6m), many famous NT/CADW properties, NT BODNANT Gardens (13m),PORTMEIRION(22m)
Most popular mountain peaks within 20min - 1hr drive. Peaceful and gentler walks from doorstep: FAIRY GLEN riverside walk, CAPEL GARMON Neolithic burial chamber, CONWY FALLS, explore LLYN ELSI,or join ‘SLATE TRAIL’ exploring our UNESCO World Heritage site

Introducing

Gwawr & Ian Mowatt

Welsh is Gwawr's first language so she'll happily tell you how to pronounce her name! Both she (who loves nature and paints as a hobby) and Ian (an experienced mountain walker) are from the area. They love their guests to enjoy a taste of the real Welsh experience. They know climbing Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) is a captivating draw but they also know there is much, much more to enjoy in this beautiful countryside.
