Notable activities in the immediate vicinity include the world renowned Zip-world caverns and Go Below.
The region has an enormous amount to offer walkers of all level. Details of notable local walks can be found on our website. The area is also a playground for the more adventurously inclined, with plenty of climbing and mountain routes, sea sports and mountain-biking.
The property is also 3 miles from the downhill mountain bike routes of Blaenau Ffestiniog and with easy access to several major internationally-known mountain bike trails, including trails in the Gwydyr Forest, the Penmachno Forest Trails and Coed y Brenin.
The opportunity to take part in activities such as golfing and fishing is also an easy distance away.
* an allowance of 2 bags of wood (mix of kindling, small pieces and logs) is povided. Any additional requirements will need to be ordered and paid for in advance of your stay.
**please note that the jets and water filter cannot be used between November and February, or at anytime where freezing is a risk. Prior permission is required to use the hot tub. No prior expereince is required and permission is unlikely to be refuse. We require this step so that we can manage expectations of wood fired hot tubs. Please contact us to discuss. Wood is not included in the price and will need to be purchased separately. We feel this is the fairest way to operate for our guests as wood use can vary significantly dependent upon level of use, season and fire-lighting proficiency.
