Welcome to the Pen-y-Bont Hotel

A 16th Century Hotel offering 2 bars, 2 Restaurants, a Patio and glorious Beer Garden

Situated on the bridge at the southern tip of Tal-y-Llyn Lake we command this unique and majestic view that can only be seen from our Lakeside Beer Garden and Car Park. Other websites show it, but we have got it! Visitors love the Pen-y-Bont Hotel because it is an authentic 16th Century Coaching Inn that has not been developed out of character.

During the summer we have expansive lakeside and Patio seating for dining and admiring the reflections of Cadair Idris and other nearby mountains in the lake. Surely an inspiration for J.R.R. Tolkien when, in The Lord Of The Rings and The Hobbit, he named the pinnacle of the Misty Mountains “Mount Caradhras?”

Peace and tranquillity are here for you to enjoy in a timeless world where, as one customer put it:

“The wonderful thing about this place is that I know it will be the same when I return”.

We enjoy log fires under oak beams in winter in our Fireside Restaurant, one family arrived and their daughter exclaimed

“It’s just like the fireplace out of Hogwarts that leads to the Ministry of Magic!”

But we are not just here for Harry Potter fans.

Escape and discover our Secret Kingdom here in southern Snowdonia National Park, with cottage style buildings surrounded by woods on the lakeside.

Adventure and Romance await you!
