✨ 3 Idyllic Places to Stay in North Wales ✨

[Gifted stays]

Whether you’re after a romantic retreat, a glamping getaway with friends, or a dog-friendly hotel surrounded by epic walks — North Wales has it all. Here are three very different stays, but equally magical places we’ve stayed recently and would recommend in a heartbeat.

1. A Much-Needed Reset on our Favourite Island

Glampio Bedo Glamping, Anglesey

📍 Location: Anglesey

🐾 Dog-friendly: No

💆‍♀️ Perfect for: Couples, solo resets, peace seekers

We were lucky enough to enjoy a gifted overnight stay at the gorgeous Glampio Bedo Glamping – a beautifully styled glamping pod tucked away in peaceful surroundings. It’s perfect for switching off from distractions, reconnecting with nature and taking a proper breather. We stayed at Moel Haul.

🛁 The outdoor hot tub under the stars was a total highlight — especially after a long week.

🍷 We picked up a few goodies from Bonta Deli (including a bottle of red!) and had a relaxed night in. In the morning, we eased into the day with a private sauna session, stuck on our favourite tunes via their integrated bluetooth speaker and left feeling recharged.

📍Places we want to try nearby:

Catch 22 Brasserie | Ocean’s Edge Restaraunt | Sea Shanty Cafe | The White Eagle | Oyster Catcher | Sandy Mount House

2. Coastal Glamping Meets Pizza & Pods

Glampio Coed Glamping, Rhoshirwaun

📍 Location: Llyn Peninsula

🐾 Dog-friendly: Yes

🔥 Perfect for: Couples, friends, solo escapes with dogs

Friday afternoon check-in at Glampio Coed Glamping, a log-stove pod, and nearby wood-fired pizza from Crasu Coed? Yes please. This glampsite blends tranquillity and a little buzz, thanks to its amazing on-site pizza & bar setup and thoughtful, immaculate facilities.

Each pod is unique — ours had a wood stove, kitchenette and comfy double bed. Some even include private toilets and underfloor heating.

🚿 Communal showers and toilets are spotless, and the whole setup is ideal whether you’re escaping it all or adding a little social into your stay.

🌊 Coastal Walks & Foodie Finds

Saturday was all about the Llyn coastal path — from Glampio to Porthor (Whistling Sands) — followed by lunch at the incredible Caffi Siop Plas.

💫 Don’t skip their new Summer Menu! It’s an exciting selection of sweet and savoury Galettes & Crèpes.

Other must-visits:

🍺 Tŷ Newydd Hotel, Aberdaron

🛍️ Cwt Tatws, Tudweiliog

🍰 Caffi’r Felin, Rhoshirwaun

🍕Crasu, Rhoshirwaun

3. Comfort, Food & Walks

Plas Weunydd Hotel, Blaenau Ffestiniog

📍 Location: Blaenau Ffestiniog

🐾 Dog-friendly: Yes – and dogs stay free at the hotel.

🔥 Perfect for: Families, walkers, relaxed hotel stays

We stayed in the hotel at Plas Weunydd Hotel and loved the balance of comfort and location. After a day of exploring, we were more than happy to sink into an armchair by the fire and order from their fab on-site menu both evenings.

For something different, they also offer:

• Glamping tents with private decks

• Shepherd’s huts on the moorland, with exclusive wilderness sauna access (and yes, you’re driven there by golf buggy – it’s brilliant).

🍴 Food & Day Trip Tips:

• Numerous weatherproof activities at Zip World

• Betws-y-Coed for local shopping,

• Olif & The Royal Oak

• Maentwrog for pub classics at The Grapes

• Local trails and scenic walks all within reach

So, which one would you pick first?

• Hot tub under the stars on Anglesey?

• Pizza and pods with coastal walks on the Llyn?

• Dog-friendly hotel comfort in Snowdonia?

I can vouch that they are all fantastic in their own unique ways, depending on what you want but I will definitely be visiting again.
