Prior to our purchasing the Pen-y-Bont Hotel it was destined to be converted into private housing, which would have removed this iconic location from the public domain forever. We have built up, room by room, a total of five letting rooms so far, and hope to extend that to six or seven in 2016. These are in the main building on the B4405, overlooking the church and mountainside. TV's in every room is a new feature for 2016. We also have WiFi throughout the building, though many guests like to escape the modern age completely! The Hotel features a 16th Century Restaurant and Bar with log fires, a fine sight on a Winter evening. Our Beer Garden gives breathtaking views, positioned as it is along the South Western shore of Llyn Mwyngil (Talyllyn Lake.) It is less than 10 miles to the beach at Tywyn, and other expanses of sand nearby at Aberdovey, Fairbourne and Barmouth. We are at the foot of Cadair Idris which attracts walkers from all over the world. On the other side of the mountain is Dolgellau, an attractive small town and a centre locally for outdoor activities. To the south we have the beautiful market town of Machynlleth.

Pen-Y-Bont Hotel set on the banks of Tal-y-llyn Lake, offering mountain views. Dating from the 16th century, this bed and breakfast has a beer garden and restaurant.

The charming Pen-Y Bont Hotel is a former coaching inn and offers traditionally decorated rooms. All rooms have tea and coffee-making facilities and free Wi-Fi. They look onto the village church and mountains.

Breakfast includes locally produced bacon, sausages and eggs, and homemade cuisine is on offer for dinner. You can relax in the lakeside beer garden or on the sheltered patio, which both offer dramatic mountain views. Packed lunches are available upon request.

Tywyn and the coast are within 20 minutes’ drive of the bed and breakfast. Aberystwyth is less than an hour’s drive away.
