The eco-friendly Idwal Cottage Youth Hostel is a fantastic accommodation for superb holidays in Snowdonia. Guests can use the site as a base for outdoorsy adventures in the stunning glacial Ogwen Valley. Enjoy the sceneries of the spectacular Nant Ffranco valley from your ideal position at the foothills of the Glyder Mountains. The hostel itself once serves as the former quarry masters cottage and is now refurbished and well-furnished to create the perfect setting for both short stopovers and extended stays. Enjoy easy access to the Cwm Idwal Nature Reserve just half a mile away or head out for bracing walks and hikes in the Carneddau and Glyder Mountains. Idwal Cottage offers self-catering accommodation with a communal kitchen and a bar. Guests can choose from private rooms and shared dormitory rooms which are ideal for a variety of budgets and travel needs. Wake up to views of the mist-clad peaks around you followed by a much-needed steaming mug of coffee. Spend the rest of your day uncovering the landscape on bike, foot or in the saddle. Head back to base after an eventful day of sightseeing for a hot meal in the spacious kitchen. Mingle with other guests in the cosy lounge or let someone else do the cooking as you savour homemade food and local bevvies at the lovely pubs dotting the area.
