October Forest Walks 🍁🍂

Yesterday we had a whole day to explore Beddgelert Forest. Amazingly we've never been here before and we don't know why, as it's beautiful!

It's a great place to explore by foot or by bike and there are trails to suit everyone.

We didn't have the best weather, but we did have a break from the rain showers to have lunch in the sun at the gorgeous Llyn llywelyn.

The clouds rolled back in and the rain started as we followed a track spotting mushrooms 🍄along the way, to explore the old mines on the west side of the forest. If the cloud wasn't so low we would have had amazing views of the surrounding mountains.

The weather did make the forest very atmospheric and it was made more magical by seeing the Welsh Highland steam train passing through!

We'll definitely be going back on a clear day.

We're back from our break away and what a lovely time we had in York visiting friends and family, but as much as we like a beautiful historic city, coming home to Eryri is always the best. 😍

We've had a few days to ourselves and as the weather has been lovely, we've been out in the forests around Betws Y Coed, hiking, cycling and cold water swimming (it's definitely colder in the water now! 🥶). Autumn is very much here and it's lovely to see the forests changing colour and the huge variety of mushrooms dotted about. 🍄🍁🍂

We still have availability during October, so if you fancy a break away to our beautiful part of the world, book with us direct for the best price 🥰🍄🍁🍂

September was meant to be a bit quieter for us after a very busy summer, but it's definitely not been!

Amongst all of our lovely guests we have had friends to stay and we've been able to show them some of the amazing and interesting places in our beautiful area and here are some pics from our days out.

From beautiful lakes, mountains and forests to exploring interesting slate mines and caves and experiencing gorgeous sunsets 😍

We're off for a bit of a break, but we'll be back open in October when Autumn will be in full swing. The forests turn orange and red, the mountain air is crisp and if you are feeling brave you can have a cold dip in one of our many beautiful lakes 🍁🍂🥰

Wow Peregrine Circus what an amazing show! 😍
We are very lucky in Betws Y Coed to have this amazing circus (North Wales' only touring circus 🎪) on Cae Llan until 31st August. If you are in Betws Y Coed this weekend, you have to go, you will not regret it. Spend the afternoon/evening in the magical world of 'The Belly of the Whale'🐋

Sappers bridge update!! 🚨

Our new bridge is really taking shape! This week the fantastic team at MWT installed the main deck and we can't wait until we can walk/cycle over it and be just a few minutes from the centre of Betws Y Coed again. 🥳🥳😍

We've lived here in Betws Y Coed for 9.5 years and in all that time and all the adventures we've had we are still discovering and rediscovering amazing places on our doorstep. 🥰

We stretched our legs this week and had a hike around the forest above Hafna Mine near Llanrwst and got to sit and relax at this gorgeous lake, with noone else around. 😍

This weekend we got the opportunity to try some climbing (thanks to 😍) which is definitely going to become a new hobbie!
We hiked up through the forest to climb rocks that we can see from our house and discovered a new spot above the rocks that have breathtaking views over Betws Y Coed and the mountains!

Can't think of a better way to cool down after a bike ride on a warm evening, than in a beautiful llyn (lake) watching the sunset 😍🚴🌄
