Best of Wales  offers a wide range of wallet friendly self-catering options. We stayed in Bwthyn Wnion, a two bedroom cottage with spectacular views, so good in fact you will never want to leave.

This property is a converted farmhouse in the grounds of a working farm. The owner of the cottage was just 50 metres away which was very helpful when it came to storing our bikes and picking her brains about the area. Best of all though were freshly baked scones ready for us upon our arrival.

The cottage is six miles from Dolgellau and 13 miles from Bala, both of which offer plenty of restaurants and cafes. The kitchen in the property is well equipped if you would prefer to eat in.

If you are travelling as part of a group then you can opt to stay in a bunkhouse. This basic accommodation offers self-catering facilities at really affordable prices. There are two bunkhouses located with Snowdonia National Park.  Further details here.
