Snowdonia National Park
Emma and Menno welcome you to their warm and cosy Bed & Breakfast and Tea room Tŷ Mawr, ideally situated for a holiday in the mountains of the Snowdonia National Park.

Snowdon
Tŷ Mawr is located in the tiny village of Rhyd Ddu, 30 km from Bangor and 15 km from Caernarfon in the county of Gwynedd, North Wales. It lies at the foot of Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales. Its peak (1085 meters) is only 6 km away.

Beddgelert
Rhyd Ddu lies on the A4085 between Caernarfon and Beddgelert. There is a good bus service to both places.

Holyhead
We are also conveniently located if you need a little rest whilst on your way to Holyhead to catch the ferry to Ireland.

Walking
Many interesting walks start from the village; the Rhyd Ddu path to Snowdon, the Nantlle Ridge, Moel Hebog, Yr Aran, plus forest walks.

Dorothea Quarry
The flooded Dorothea Quarry in the Nantlle Valley (108 meters deep) is 9 km away.

B&B
Tŷ Mawr - ‘Big House’ - is a more than 200 years old stone cottage and has three double rooms, one of which has en suite facilities. The two other rooms share a bathroom with shower and separate bathtub. All rooms have central heating, television, fan, hairdryer and a tea - and coffee tray.

Parking
On the road, opposite the B&B.

Breakfast, lunch & dinner
We serve a hearty breakfast to set you up for the day (you can even try a pancake). Packed lunches are available on request. From October till Easter we can provide evening meals if booked in advance (not during school holidays). A 2-course evening meal costs £12 p.p.

Tea room
In the Tea room we serve several sorts of tea, all day breakfast, sandwiches, toasties, homemade soups, baguettes, cakes, ice cream, etc. Menno’s Dutch pancakes are recommended for the hungry walker!!!

The Welsh Highland Railway train chugs into Rhyd Ddu station where it can be boarded and travels through some spectacular countryside to Caernarfon and Porthmadog.

Free internet access

Mobile phones
You won't be able to use your mobile phone in Rhyd Ddu, as the village is out of reach for getting a signal.

Unique position
It will be very hard to find a B&B closer to Mount Snowdon than Tŷ Mawr!
