5-star hotels in Betws-Y-Coed
A shortlist of the 5-star stays in and around Betws-Y-Coed, from lodges on the Holyhead Road to country houses and bunkhouses out towards Penmachno, Capel Curig and Capel Garmon. It is for travellers who want the highest class of accommodation in Snowdonia.
Staying in Betws-Y-Coed
Betws-Y-Coed sits inside Snowdonia National Park, a village of stone bridges and rivers where walkers, cyclists and drivers break their journey through North Wales. The surrounding valleys give access to the mountains, lakes and forests that define the area, and the village itself is a compact base with the river running through it.
These 5-star properties are spread across the parish rather than clustered in one spot. Olif and Glanllyn stand on the Holyhead Road, 0.3 km from the centre, with Glanrhyd cottage and Maes y Garth just behind at 0.5 and 0.6 km, and Tyn Y Fron on Llanrwst Road at 0.6 km. Further out, Afon Gwyn Country House is 1.7 km away, the lodges at Hendre Rhys Gethin around 1.1 km, the Capel Garmon addresses 2.1 km, and Penmachno and Capel Curig 5.8 and 6.9 km. It suits couples and families wanting space and quiet, and short-break visitors who value being close to the centre.
