Anthony is avid outdoorsman, who originates from Yorkshire with family in Leicestershire. He is a retired teacher who now enjoys beekeeping and fishing coach. Anthony is looking forward to living permanently in Snowdonia National Park following on from Claire and Neil who have looked after Bryn Dinas for the last 10 years.  Having visited this part of Wales frequently as a keen hillwalker and climber, in my earlier years and more latterly moving into less adrenaline pursuits. Anthony appreciates the attractions of Snowdonia National Park and hopes to make your stay comfortable and help you. We are keen to run accommodation that we would like to stay in ourselves. As outdoor people, keen on the mountains we felt it was important to offer an experience as close to camping as possible but with the creature comforts that we all long for. Our pods have proper beds, electric points to charge you phone or GPS and are heated and insulated so can be used comfortably all year round. There is also access to a dryer should you need it ! We also wanted to create an environment that could be enjoyed by the whole family - so we welcome kids and dogs too (dogs for a small charge).

We are located just 300m from the start of The Watkin Path to the top of Mt Snowdon so you can walk to the summit from the door of your Pod. We are one of the closest accommodations to the summit of Snowdon at the crow flies less than 4 km. The other main 5 paths, including the famous Pyg and Miners track are within a short 10 minute drive from our Pods and lots of lower level walks also straight from the door. There is also the Sherpa park and ride bus which goes direct Pen y pass and saves on parking fees and the requirement to book parking if you wish to do the Pyg or Miners Track. We are located in a wonderful valley setting between two lakes Llyn Dinas and Llyn Gwynant ideal for wild swimming, paddle boarding or kayaking. The site is set within a 2.5 acre woodland close to the river Glaslyn, with the village of Beddgelert 2.8 miles away which has access to shops and pubs. The site has broadband internet access. We welcome dogs for a small extra charge. The site is central to Snowdonia National Park the towns, Betwys Coed, Llanberis, Portmadog and Caernarfon are easily accessible. The beach at Black Rocks is only a short 25 minute car journey away.

We are located in the adventure capital of Europe with the worlds longest and fastest zipwire based just a 20 min drive away at Zipworld in Bethesda, a 4 man zipwire and a zipwire in a slate cavern, along with bounce below, trampoline around the slate caverns all run by Zipworld at Blaneau Ffestiniog. World class mountain bike trails in Blaeneau Ffestiniog and Coed y Brennin all a short drive away. Or if you fancy surfing on the UK's only inland surf lake try Adventure Parc Snowdonia just a 25 min drive away. That's all without mentioning that we based at the bottom of Snowdon, The highest peak in England and Wales - you can walk to the summit from the door of your Pod. All this without the hassle of booking or the expense of your parking at Penny y pass. Alternatively ditch the car and purchase a shuttle book ticket and travel round the park all day.
