It is our intention that you should enjoy Wales to the full whilst you are here and below we list a few of the things that you might want to pursue.
Local bus services including Sundays pass the door at regular intervals.
There is a railway station in the Village with trains running North as far as Pwhelli and South to Machynlleth, Aberystwyth and Shrewsbury, the latter for connection to Main Line trains to London and elsewhere. The trip North passes through Porthmadog and Penrhyndeudraeth, where you can stop off and go to the famous Italianate Village of Portmeirion. This was where the film The Prisoner was filmed. This trip North has been described as one of the most beautiful rail trips in Europe.
At Porthmadog you can join the Ffestiniog Railway and the Welsh Highland Railways.
From Porthmadog you can take the Sherpa bus up to Llanberis ands go on the Snowdon Railway, visit the Welsh Slate Museum and go down the largest made hole in the World at the Dinorwig Power Station. On from there you can travel to Caernarfon, famous for its castle where Prince Charles was enrolled as the Prince of Wales.
Going South at Tywyn you can join the Talyllyn Railway said to be the inspiration for The Rev. W Audrey’s Thomas the Tank Engine.
Aberdovey (Aberdyfi) further on boasts beautiful beaches, a top class golf course and good food and scenery.
Machynlleth has a good market every Wednesday and is the seat of Glyndwr’s last Parliament.
Inland from Llwyngwril you come to Dolgellau, another seat of Glyndwr’s Parliament and one time county town of Meirionnydd. It is situated at the foot of Cader Idris, which is very popular with climbers. There is a footpath and cycle track which runs down the old railway track back as far as Fairbourne (the next village to Llwyngwril) passing the railway bridge which crosses the Mawddach Estuary across to Barmouth. You can walk and cycle across this bridge and there is a toll payable at the Barmouth end. You can also travel across to Barmouth from Fairbourne by going on the Fairbourne Railway out to the Point and taking the ferry, but this is only available in the Summer and calm weather!.
Further inland from Dolgellau you can travel North towards Trawsfynydd (the only inland Nuclear Power Station in Wales and now closed) and stop off at the Coed y Brenin (King’s Wood) Outdoor Centre. Here you can go walking along the trails or go Mountain Biking (there are bike hire facilities on site.
Alternatively you can go further inland to Bala, where you can go sailing and boarding on the lake.
Information on these facilities and attractions are available in each room and we are happy to help with anything further.
