About
The Pen-y-Bont Hotel has spectacular views across Llyn Mwyngil (Talyllyn Lake), near Cader Idris in southern Snowdonia. Little has changed here over the centuries since the Pen-y-Bont Hotel was built. We make a great base from which to explore the beauty and variety of the local countryside. Whether you have a taste for mountain walking, hidden castles, waterfalls or beautiful beaches, we will be delighted to put you on the right track!
All five letting rooms overlook St. Mary’s church and the magnificent sweeping slopes of Craig Goch. Each room is named after a local historical character from the Talyllyn area. You can read the booklet in your room which will tell you their stories. We serve a full Welsh Cooked Breakfast, including cereals, tea, coffee, fruit juice and toast as required. Also Vegetarian and Vegan options are always available. We serve local bottled Real Ales from Bragdy Mws Piws - Purple Moose Brewery based in Porthmadog – and other Welsh Ales. Sit back and relax in the outdoor setting of our Garden Courtyard or stunning Lakeside Beer Garden.
The Pen-y-bont has a large Car Park that extends along the lake shore, so there is plenty of room for you when you arrive. Guests who are staying in rooms park for free.
Non-resident Parking
