Didnt spend much time in the village itself but review below relates to basecamp hostel and surrounding areas. Just a beautiful space very clean and comfortable Stunning views excellent facilities. Felt very safe and am I tendi g to go back for a few weeks at some point . Walks right from doorstep. Easy access to beaches, waterfalls mountains and shops if you like shopping! Lots of local attractions bus services etc. Very good communications from basecamp hostel where I stayed which is just out of town very peaceful

You need a car…as you are in the middle of nowhere in the most beautiful area, with so much to offer all around. You are central to many places of interest. We investigated the surrounding villages to check out supermarkets, restaurants and take aways etc but we had greater enjoyment, cooking our own meals with other travellers, living that backpacker mentality and speaking to new people you would have never normally met. It was lovely to see families, dads and sons on mountain bike holidays and a family from France, everyone cooking up very delicious looking meals from all around the world. The area is stunning and we really wish we had booked a longer stay. We initially booked to attend Zip World and go on Europes longest and fastest zip wire but we soon realised having visited Bangor, Ryll, Llandudno, Porthmadog that there was soo so much more to see. It rained, and it didnt matter….it was beautiful with rain so i can only imagine how beautiful the beaches are etc when it’s sunny. We will be back, its ace and for hiking, mountain climbing, cycling, driving, its stunning!

This location is well placed for much of Snowdonia and the Llyn Peninsular. It is away from the main national park, but means it is less busy. It is close to Caernarfon which has reasonable transport connections and all the main facilities. It is also 20 minutes away from Porthmadog which has access to the National Rail network and also the Welsh Highland & Ffestiniog heritage railways, which are well worth a visit and will take you deep into the National Park.

The location is excellent for all attractions such as the Zip Worlds, Mount Snowden and the National Whitewater Rafting Centre. The local Co-op and takeaways were excellent and only a short walk away. Access to the main roads to major attractions was also easy. Avoid trusting your Sat Nav too much. It tends to take you some hair raising routes when the main road is much quicker and less likely to meet a tractor on a single lane road in the hills.

It is a typical tourist hostel having common toilets, showers, and a kitchen. All were clean and well maintained. The staff is very friendly and helpful. If you like mountains, mountaineering, or walking in a forest and you do not need hotel service it is an ideal place for you.

A small town, functional but not pretty, a well stocked Co-op supermarket provided all we needed. There are several take-aways, Chinese, Indian, Fish and Chips and Kebab/Pizza, which is useful if you don't fancy cooking in the hostel. The nearest pubs are some way away, and in Beddgelet we have always had issues as they do not start serving food until 18.30 (not much good if you are looking for early food after a day on the hills) or fully booked, We did had a drink in nearby Cwellwyn Arms (Rhydd Du) but the food was quite expensive, so we ate at the hostel and had an Indian take-away which was fine.
