Make memories to last a lifetime in this exceptional holiday home on the edge of Eryri National Park (Snowdonia). The vast property is perfect for large family gatherings and special holidays with friends, with ample space to spread out and relax and on-site entertainment including a games room, cinema room, and working bar. You'll have plenty of choice when it comes to walking in the area, with forest and mountain routes directly from the property. The bustling village of Betws-y-Coed is 5.5 miles away.

The former inn has been transformed into a luxurious holiday retreat that's full of period features, antique-style furniture, and elegant fixtures and fittings. High ceilings add a sense of grandeur and the large windows frame stunning woodland and mountain views. On the ground floor, you'll find a collection of beautiful reception rooms to relax in, including a vast entertaining space with leather sofas, a working bar with hand pumps for your use (beer kegs are also available by prior arrangement), tables for informal dining, and a roaring open fire. A few steps from here leads to the games area with table football, and onto the cinema room for cosy nights in watching your favourite films. Budding chefs will be in their element in the commercial-style kitchen, which is equipped with everything needed to cater for a large group. At dinner time, gather in the formal dining room for memorable feasts around the banquet-style dining table. The 12 stylish bedrooms are located on the first floor, and all have en-suite facilities and delightful views. Outside, you'll find an enclosed garden and patio area with furniture and a BBQ for al fresco dining. Across the road and through the car park is a paddock that's ideal for four-legged guests and from here you'll have access to the river where you can launch canoes or enjoy a spot of fishing or wild swimming.

There are some beautiful walks directly from the property. Stride out to the summit of Moel Siabod (2.5 miles) to experience the breathtaking views across Eryri or head deep into Gwydir Forest Park to explore the woodland trails and waterside walks at Llyn Crafnant and Llyn Geirionydd. The nearby village of Betws-y-Coed has a great range of independent pubs and restaurants, as well as shops and galleries to peruse. For a fun family day out, Zip World Conwy is just 12.5 miles away.

The perfect holiday home for my family. It's hard finding places to take us all, but the BRYN TYRCH INN is ideal. So many places to visit, activities to go to it was just what we needed.

We have been going on holiday with the same group of people for 21 years and as we've grown, the properties have grown. This was definitely one of our most popular properties - the Reception space worked really well and the games room and TV room (with karaoke) were a huge success. Neil, one of the owners, lives very nearby and dealt with any issueRead mores immediately and was very welcoming. Hide

Had a great week away with friends. The Bryn is an excellent place to stay. Bedrooms were perfect - especially since each one has en suite - plenty of room and very comfortable. Downstairs very well equipped with lots of seats. Kids loved the games and cinema rooms. Kitchen very professionally kitted out.

Comfortable well appointed rooms, great spaces for social gatherings, but also for quiet chats or games of chess. Excellent TV room, fun games room and great kitchen, not to forget the intriguing piano! Always helpful but never intrusive owners with good local knowledge. Spectacular view and walks, would highly recommend for family gatherings.

Lovely old hotel with comfortable beds and downstairs living area. We enjoyed that there is some separation between the living areas, so if there's a big group of you, you aren't on top of each other during the day/evening. The garden areas are nice and there's a large enclosed area for dogs/children. The overall location is fantastic for walking aRead morend sightseeing. The only downside is it is on the A5 so can be busy, but it's not hugely impactful. Overall a lovely house. Hide
