Where to stay
Within the Vale of Ffestiniog & Porthmadog there is a wide choice from hostel accommodation at £19 per night, with secure storage for bikes, to B&B in a Portmeirion penthouse suite at £300 – secure parking for a Bentley presumed.
Great views are a given and places are full of character, not superimposed but the real thing. A sea captain’s house or a boatman’s cottage in the shipbuilding village of Borth y Gest. A quayside cottage overlooking Porthmadog harbour with Snowdon, Cnicht and the Moelwyn mountains beyond. A quarryman’s cottage in Ffestiniog looking down the valley to sunsets beyond
An upmarket country hotel complete with climbing wall in the basement – popular with groups as an after dinner activity. Stay in the converted barns of a 500 year old manor house, high up in the foothills of Moelwyn Bach, with a private platform from which to hail passing steam trains. B&B beneath the cliffs at Tanygrisiau with walks and climbs out the back door and a sauna to aid recovery in the evening.
Old coaching inns, sadly without the stables, but a link with the past and a good place to meet the locals. Or a tent pitched beside the river – a great opportunity to watch our wildlife and see the amazing shooting stars, so easy to see with the lack of light pollution, it gets really dark here.
