Rating on behalf of the rentals, because I think the place deserves it, (and I paid!)…read more I bought my mother (and father) a stay here for her birthday- they like walking, and can never pick between seaside and country, so I thought this was a good bet. I got them a walker's package, that included breakfast (the full welsh, was apparently great, but enormous), dinner (not limited in any way, three courses if you wished, just a little extra for side dishes) and a packed lunch with a choice of sandwiches, crisps, a frobishers juice and and enormous hunk of cake. Rooms were comfortable, bathrooms were clean. The only slightly negative point that was made, was that you didn't feel like you wanted to have a nightcap- as although the staff were fantastic, they cleaned down early and "seemed like they wanted to get home" which is certainly fair enough- so if you like a last orders whisky, it may be best for you to pack a bottle and use a glass in the room!

Gilfach Goch (Red Hollow) Farm is a self-catering, three bedroom Cottage that sleeps 5 but on the…read moresame farm there is a four bedroom converted barn conversion that sleeps eight. It is a grade 2 listed 400 year old traditional Welsh Farm house situated in heart of the Snowdonia National Park, North Wales. The cottage is oak beamed with slate floors on a 60 acre Welsh hill farm overlooking the sea and Shell Island. It has a Crog loft with 3 interconnecting bedrooms and a bathroom. Down stairs there is a living room with wood burning stove, a dinning room (with a wood burning stove) and a modern fitted kitchen. The cottage is secluded and approached down a 1/2 mile private drive, yet it is only a mile from the village of Llanbedr. The Barn Conversion named Ty Gwenol sleeps eight.. This is a conversion of two barns dating from the 17th century with many original features and extensive exposed beams and oak floor. It has a large modern farmhouse kitchen/diner and the lounge has the original high barn ceiling with the exposed A frame timbers. There are 4 twin bedrooms in all. Bedroom 1 is upstairs in the main barn and has exposed beams. Bedroom 2 is situated downstairs has an adjoining shower room with wash basin and toilet. Bedroom 3 is in the new extension. Bedroom 4 has a high original oak beamed ceiling with an ensuite shower room, washbasin and toilet. This bedroom also features a kitchenette and is the room we often choose if available as this also has its own separate entrance. There is also a full sized bathroom with shower over the bath. Outside is a patio area and lawned garden overlooking farmland and the coast. Through the woods to the back is a large stone circled fire pit and if you ask Roger and Lesley nicely you may even get an night under the stars round a camp fire. There is parking for 3 cars I will be totally transparent and say this farm is owned by a member of my family and although you may expect a little bias, I am reviewing this after staying in all of the parts of the farm, talking to countless guests and hoping that others more unconnected with the family will back this review up. Many of the people I have met staying at the same time as me have been there before, booking once or twice a year and returning regularly. I think the accommodation is great value for money, the surroundings beautiful and the spot is a great base for exploring North Wales. Should you also want to do some adventure activities, Roger and Les can cater there too!

Canolfan Corris Hostel, or Corris Hostel for short, is a magical place in the small, sleepy village…read moreof Corris on the southern edge of Snowdonia National Forest. They don't accept credit cards here. But don't fret. You CAN trust them. Paying via a bank transfer is an option, especially if you don't have time to send a check through the mail. Back in the U.S. when I first corresponded with Michael, the owner, to figure out the best approach to reserving a room with a deposit, he actually said he would hold the room for me, and I could pay once I arrived. I have a feeling this was an exception. He also welcomed me "... to an ancient culture," meaning one where people don't even think about trust issues between strangers. It's taken for granted. This exchange was the beginning of a truly refreshing and enlightening experience. They pride themselves on being an environmentally-friendly hostel, and they really are. Their dorm rooms are roomy with bunk beds, and decorated nicely. The same is true of their private rooms, which have a double-sized bed below a single-sized bunk bed. They have plenty of private showers. They have a great hall, or common room, where at one end long tables are set up for eating meals or hanging out to play chess or to talk with others staying the night. The other half of this great hall is more cozy with couches in front of a wood-burning stove. Their brightly-lit kitchen is open to everyone staying there, and it has all the basic modern conveniences you need, and if I'm remembering correctly, that includes a food processor. They also have a laundry room, which you access from the outside. Just ask about it. Though they have a dryer, they encourage you to air-dry your clothes, and they do have a powerful dehumidifier to help facilitate the process. I was there only one night, so I didn't get a chance to fully discover all the gems of this place. It's nestled in the picturesque village of Corris. Because it's a mountainous region, the walking is fun for exploring. The grounds keeper, Kevin, is an endearing person, bursting with all kinds of knowledge and philosophy on life to share. Allow yourself the chance to spend some time to take in the tales of this man. Directions Now finding the hostel is a bit tricky. Coming from either the south, take the road A487 to Corris. When you come to the Braich Goch Inn (see photo in Canolfan Corris Hostel's gallery), you'll see a road heading down at a very sharp angle to the left. I believe it's called Bridge Street, but there may not be a sign. You go a ways. When you get to Slaters Arms (pub), turn left. This should be Old School Road (which also may not have a sign), and head up a steep hill. You'll see the hostel on your right. Parking is back down the hill, but it's all right to park your car temporarily to check in, then move your car to the lot. Though I didn't arrive from this direction, if you're driving from the north, it looks like you come from A487, and you'll see Neptune House. There you'll see, what I believe is Old School Road, and you take a sharp left. Go for awhile, and you should get to the hostel. If I ever find myself in Wales again, I will definitely make sure to reserve a room here and try to stay a few days.

Corris is a funny little village an old slate miners' village which is appropriately grey in winter but it's set right in the hills and with easy access to good walks, the Corris Craft Centre, King Arthur's Labyrinth and the Centre for Alternative Technology. The hostel is an old Welsh schoolhouse with lovely wood burning fire for those chilly winter eves. Those that run the hostel are friendly and helpful and will point you in the direction of things to do in the area.
