This luxury barn conversion on Snowdon offers spectacular holiday accommodation in a truly unique location. A wonderful example of a traditional stone built barn transformed into a 2 bedroom self catering cottage situated on the western slopes of Snowdon itself. The decor and fixtures on the inside are outdone only by the spectacular landscape on the outside.
The spacious elongated open plan living area has, at its southern end, a well-equipped kitchen with hand painted fitted units under a granite worktop. A welcoming log burner flanked by two comfortable leather sofas takes up the other end of the room. A central dining area sits in front of double glazed french doors that lead out onto a small patio and spectacular views of the Nantlle ridge on the far side of the valley. These doors, combined with the solid oak flooring and high vaulted ceiling help create a sense of light and space to match the landscape and completes this wonderfully social living space.
There are two bedrooms in the second half of the barn. The first has two Victorian style iron single beds bedecked with cream duvets topped with traditional welsh woven blankets. The second master bedroom houses a king sized bed and has the added luxury of a tiled en-suite shower room with washbasin and WC.
Finally a large family bathroom has a shower over bath arrangement in addition to a second wc and washbasin.

Location
The great thing about staying on a working farm on Snowdon is that you have your own private access to the summit. The famous Snowdon Ranger path and Rhyd Ddu path flank both sides of the farm however and, less experienced walkers, might prefer to use these well marked routes to ascend the tallest peak in England and Wales.
Another highlight of this location is the Welsh Highland Steam railway that fights it’s way from the historic castle town of Caernarfon to the north down to the Horbour of Porthmadog to the south. Stopping off at the nearby Rhyd Ddu station as well as Beddgelert and Pont Croesor this most picturesque narrow gauge track is a fantastic way of exploring and enjoying the surrounding countryside.
Just the one pub in the village, but luckily the Cwellyn arms is fantastic and offers a great selection of real ales and home cooked meals. The village also has a lovely tearoom. Ty Mawr is most famous for it’s pancakes perhaps but also serves a delicious cooked breakfast if your feeling a little lazy one morning and, if you pre order they’ll even prepare a packed lunch for later on in the day for you.
All the usual activities associated with North Wales are within easy reach including fishing, horse riding, mountain biking and rock climbing. (The owners can arrange stabling for you horse if required. Please ask for details.)

Great location, fantastic views, lovely cottage. Brill ensuite power shower!!
We stayed for a week in early November and can’t rate Clogwyn Barn highly enough. The accommodation is of a high standard and very comfortable, the open-plan living area is great for cooking, socialising and relaxing, with a great view out over the fields towards Rhyd-ddu and the surrounding mountains. We loved the place for its fresh air, scenery, peace and quiet. Jane and John were friendly hosts and we enjoyed exploring their farmland as well as climbing Snowdon from the door on one day. There is plenty to do in the area, a week simply isn’t long enough! If you stay, make sure you drive to LLanberis via Beddgelert for an amazing drive through Snowdonia. We look forward to returning one day.
Fabulous holiday, the cottage was beautiful and so was the setting. Made to feel very welcome. Excellent for dogs.
Wow, an amazing find! The cottage was to a very high standard and made for a highly enjoyable and relaxing holiday. John, Jane and family all made us very welcome and our Norfolk Terrier even attended the yearly dog show in Beddgelert, which was in the most fantastic setting.
Walks are of course a plenty but one of our favourite evenings was on top of Gin Rock (nicknamed by John), which has amazing views over Llyn Cwellyn reservoir. It’s around a 10 minute walk from the cottage; alas we did not have any gin but champagne was a suitable substitute.
To top the location off the cottage is within walking distance of a pub and tea room, however it’s not just any pub or tea room they are probably some of the best in North Wales. The pub also boats an array of ales, larger and some reasonably priced wines. The tea room; well what can you say, it’s just simply the best, our two sons aged 10 and 8 were in their element. The food is all top quality and reasonably priced. You must not leave without trying both of these places!
From the middle of our holiday all our boys kept saying is “are we coming back next year?”. A very memorable holiday, whilst we have been to many places, this has to be one of our best ever family holidays.
We were two couples in our early 70s. The cottage was top notch. It is light and airy and well equipped. Wonderful views. John and Jane are delightful hosts – around if you need them, happy to have a chat, but not ‘in your face’. As a base, the location was just perfect. We did some of the Little Trains of Wales; walked on the Llynn peninsula; saw Clough-Ellis’ garden at Plas Brondanw (only 8 miles and really beautiful); walked the excellent path from Rhyd Ddu to Bedgellert I did a early morning trip to bird watch at South Stack on Anglesey (only and hour away) and more. Tip – if you want to go up Snowdon on the railway, book now, it gets very booked up. Very happy holiday, made by the location and the hosts.
June 16th-23rd.
We had a fantastic stay at Clogwyn Barn. The barn itself is lovely: light and modern, and much bigger than it looked in the photos. But it is the location that really steals the show. The view from the cottage across nearby Nantlle Ridge and Elephant Mountain is beautiful, and the patio provides the perfect spot to sit and take it all in. Directly behind the cottage is Snowdon itself, so it’s the perfect location for walkers wanting to climb. We found that we were close enough to Rhyd-ddu, Beddgellert and Caernarfon for day trips and meals out, but also went further afield to Anglesey and Llandudno. There is loads to do around here, and we would particularly recommend the restaurant Hebog in Beddgellert. We would highly recommend staying at Clogwyn Barn. Our only regret (if you can call it that) is that the weather was so hot all week that we didn’t get a chance to use the log burner! Thanks John and Jane for a fantastic break.
Stayed at the Barn for four wonderful nights . Excellent location especially if you are clinbing Snowdon from Rhyd Ddu, which we think is the best route up. Other lovely walks include the Bwlch Cwm Llyn, starting right outside the accomodation. The Barn is a superb place to stay definately 5*. We hope to return one day.
Fantastic barn conversion. It had everything you require in one of the best locations in Norh Wales. Jane and John made us all welcome and John a suggested we had a Gin and Tonic on the rocks behind the barn and watch the Sun set. Brilliant!!!
Hope to return sometime.
A perfect location in a perfect barn! The barn had all the things you would need for you holiday, it’s finished to an extremely high standard, one of the best we have stayed in.
A great welcome by Jane, John and the rest of the family.
Definitely see the quarry, visit the local pub and tea room for Dutch pancakes. Great position to see the sights of north wales.
I will definitely stay again 🙂
Great base for exploring Snowdonia (we visited Rhyd Ddu (Cwellyn Arms), Beddgelert (for shopping, eating & mountain biking), Betws-y-Coed (Fairy Glen & Swallow Falls), Snowdon (hike), Bala (white water rafting) and Llanberis (Slate Museum & castle). Lovely, well appointed barn and very friendly owners, would definitely recommended a stay at Clogwyn Barn.
Fantastic week, right underneath Snowden. We really had a relaxing time in beautiful surroundings. The barn is truly luxurious, decorated to the highest standard, and supplying everything we needed. We were made most welcome by the owners Jane and John, and I mustn’t forget Max and Digby.
We will certainly be returning in the near future.
A great place to stay – clean, comfortable and with good fittings, features and furniture. It is well situated to find plenty of things to do even on the wettest days and boy did we have some wet days! The food in the local pub was excellent.Thank you for a very relaxing break.
This was our second stay at the wonderful Clogwyn Barn. It is the perfect base for exploring Snowdonia, with beautiful walks from the door. We had a relaxing stay and can’t wait to come again. Thanks to Jane & John for providing the perfect bolt hole.
Just the best place to stay, relax and enjoy yourselves. You want for nothing here, its all to a very high standard. We travelled there in 2 classic cars and spend three days touring around, the place is a wonderful haven on tranquillity and you feel straight at home. We cant recommend it enough. Our friends had never done a short stay like this before and are now totally hooked. Would be only too happy to return (sooner the better too)
Beauutiful, comfortable barn in fantastic location withb evrything we needed for a lovely break, very enjoyable and would love to come again
Thank you very much
Fantastic location, wonderful accommodation, brilliant hosts. 10 out of 10.
This is a magical place, not only is the barn luxurious but the surrounding area is breath taking. We spent a wonderful long weekend with our 9 year old son, taking advice from Jane the owner on places to go and eat and it was all fantastic. Can not promote this place more, can not wait to go back again
What an amazing way to spend Christmas and the New Year – even the barn was decorated – cant thank John and Jane enough for their hospitality and its made our start to 2016 very special and definitely unforgettable – thoroughly recommended.
What a magical spot! Clogwyn Barn completely delightful, spectacular views, with easy access straight to the summit of Mount Snowdon, hugely convenient location for so many reasons. Delightful and considerate hosts, and the Barn itself is very well appointed and comfortable. Thank you for a splendid week for our family and city dog, who is barking to return asap.
My husband and I spent a very relaxing ten days in this lovely barn conversion in late September/early October. It is comfortable, spacious, light, clean and well appointed. We had everything we needed to cook and live happily- the only shortcoming is the spotty Wifi. We loved the views, hiking from the front door, and the many nearby trails. The narrow roads took us some getting used to, I must admit(we’re from the US). But they seem to be everywhere in Britain! Jane and John were helpful and friendly and provided loads of information about the area and what to see and do. I would definitely recommend Clogwyn Barn.
The barn as well as our holiday exceeded all expectations. The accommodation is luxurious and comfortable, a place to relax and unwind. Jane and John were incredibly kind and helpful and we can’t wait to return soon. Thank you so much for a fantastic week.
Just back from our second visit to Clogwyn Y Gwin this year. Clogwyn Barn is starting to feel like a second home. And leaving each time is a real wrench. John & Jane are fantastic hosts and not forgetting their fabulous children and of course Moss, Max and Brigadier the dogs. We felt so comfortable and relaxed that we could have stayed in the barn all week but we really enjoyed exploring the surrounding areas including climbing Snowdon and walking from Rhyd Ddu to Bethgelert (longer than you think). We will definitely be back as we know that we are always assured of a very warm Welsh welcome.
A beautiful cottage with fantastic attention to detail, spotlessly clean and very well equipped. Just as (or more) importantly, the setting is truly amazing.
We had four seasons in one week in August – wind, rain, brilliant sunshine – every time we looked out of the windows the scenery was completely different. Would recommend this cottage at any time of year because it is cosy, warm and modern inside. Very helpful owners with charming children but not at all intrusive and we enjoyed watching the comings and goings of the farm that surrounds you (from the very comfortable chairs on the patio!)
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Clogwyn Barn, it was tastefully decorated and had pretty much everything you needed. Jane & John the owners are friendly, helpful & on call should any situation arise.
You can climb Snowdon from your doorstep, we seemed to find our own rather precarious route ( not recommended!!)
Just be aware there isn’t really a mobile phone signal in Rhydd Ddu, but hopefully that won’t matter.
Found really lovely places to eat and the local pub serves good food & beer, although not far away it’s not the safest walk to get to it so better to drive.
Had a fabulous week relaxing at Clogwyn Barn. Couldn’t wish for a more perfect setting, whether we were relaxing and taking in the views or walking from the door up Snowdon and the surrounding area, it was great.
Jane and John made us feel most welcome and we enjoyed seeing the sheep come down from the mountain ready for shearing.
Didn’t want to go home…we are looking forward to returning sometime soon. Thanks
Beautiful accommodation and location with excellent ammenities. Owners where lovely people and very helpful

What a delightful place, it gave us a really enjoyable rest. Coming from our home in Pembrokeshire I expected it to rain – but we had a fine week for such an early time in the year.
The barn was a joy to stay in and we may well be back. Loved the train tooting past each day, and gazing out at the mountains – they are bigger than our Pembrokeshire ones (mountain envy).
It was loverly to be able to walk out, up the hill, over the railway and onto the mountain side – the rocks sing so.
We would have enjoyed a hi-fi with an iPod dock in the barn, but as I said, the rocks sing so well, we easily lived without regular music for the duration of our stay.
Many happy memories, and a looking forward to returning and hearing the rocks all a singing once again.
We really enjoyed the week at Clogwyn Barn
Facilities very good setting excellent especially with the Lambing in progress
Very good week
A super holiday home and enjoyed by all (2 adults, 2 children under 5). Very comfortable and cosy (lovely bedding), good kitchen facilities and plenty of space to enjoy the open plan kitchen/living with wood burner. Great walks from the doorstep and the cycle track from Rhyd ddu to Beddgelert is very impressive and well worth the effort. Lunches in the Hebog bistro very tasty! Clogwyn barn is in a fantastic location!
We are just home from a lovely break in this Barn Conversion. It really lived up,to,it’s title of luxury barn conversion, it was beautifully decorated and very luxurious. Everything you could need for a nice break. The location and scenery to wake up to were amazing. The local walking area was fantastic. The owners of this barn conversion were very welcoming and helpful. A great point for us that it was genuinely dog friendly, as was the local pub, who made sure our boy had a bowl of water whilst we enjoyed our meal with him laying beside us. We highly recommend this accommodation and will be returning for another visit.

14th- 21st Feb 2015 You couldn’t be any closer to Snowdon. The perfect escape from reality. A lovely place to stay. A home from home within a beautiful setting. The kids loved it especially seeing the baby calve on day one. Great setting and access to the mountain. Close to all amenities yet far enough to get away from it all. Really warm and beautifully designed barn. Log burner was fab. Great having TV’s in each room and freesat. The only bad thing was that we had to go home. We will definitely stay again. Thank you.
Thank you so much for lovely comments
It’s was a pleasure having you stay
Jane & john
What a beautiful place to unwind and relax in georgeous surroundings.
Everything’s provided for a perfect stay. Visiting the surrounding Snowdonia area is only a short drive away.
