YHA Idwal Cottage Youth Hostel

About

Stay below the impressive Glyder mountains with views of the Nant Ffrancon Valley at this former quarry manager's cottage. Recently refurbished, you can be sure of a warm welcome at this environmentally-conscious hostel. All levels of walks can be found in the immediate area and you won't need to travel far for world-class mountain bike trails. It's perfectly placed for strolls to see Rhaeadr Ogwen Waterfalls or Cwm Idwal nature reserve (with its dramatic lake) and Devil's Kitchen.
YHA Idwal cottage is fully licensed and had a well equipped self catering kitchen.
