Lock in a great price for Y Pengwern - rated 8.3 by recent guests.

to get started.

Listen at the end of the day you get what you pay for. Is it 5* nope not by any stretch is it somewhere clean and friendly that you can have a hot shower and rest your head in a comfy bed and get a decent nights sleep definitely. This is a community run pub/hotel/community hall, funded and actually run by the community themselves their doing the best they can with what they've got and between them have brought it back from the ruins and I've got to say I love it, yeah it's basic but for singles couples family's maybe running on a budget honestly your in for a very welcomed stay.

Lesley, United Kingdom

The staff is friendly and the pub is lively in the evening hours. At your room you won't have any issues with sounds coming from the pub, in my experience.

An inside look at Y Pengwern

The Pengwern is owned, managed and run by the community of Llan Ffestiniog. The hotel closed down in 2009 and was closed for 2 years until the community got together to raise the money to buy it and re-open it as a not-for-profit community venture. The hotel is managed wholly by volunteers, none of the management team or the shareholders in the venture make any money out of the venture, it is run purely for the benefit of the community and for visitors to the area. Any profits made are re-invested into refurbishing the hotel, or in supporting other local groups and charities. We rely heavily on volunteers to run the hotel day to day, but we also employ a number of local people, so that we also provide employment for the people of the villages of Llan and Blaenau Ffestiniog. The Pengwern is in a quiet village in the heart of Snowdonia, within easy reach of all the amenities and attractions this spectacular area has to offer, we are approximately half way between the summits of Snowdon and Cadair Idris, but still only 30 mins from the spectacular beaches at Harlech, Black Rock and Criccieth.

What travellers love about this location

“The location , lovely views and close to Portmerrion. The place was very friendly and I loved the idea of a non profit making community run place. Singing on a saturday evening from local people with traditonal welsh songs was a treat and unexpected.”

Karen

United Kingdom

“A great Welsh welcome. Excellent if you want good quality no-frills accommodation in a beautiful area. Ac maen nhw'n siarad Cymraeg hefyd.”

Barry

United Kingdom

“Would love to give even more than 5/5 for value for money and location. The scenery surrounding this hotel is to die for. Loved the community spirit at this hotel, largely run by volunteers. Renovations were underway in the kitchen and dining rooms so we couldn't eat dinner on the premises, but the next village is just a short drive away. We booked in for one night but loved it so much we spent an extra night. Enjoyed a beautiful warm sunny day exploring a local walk through fields of sheep and cattle, alongside the river and waterfalls and a gorge. Have done a lot of country walks in my life but this was possibly the best. The hotel has a book of suggested walks, and the directions for this particular walk were very clear.”
