Y Branwen is a dog-friendly, adults-only hotel tucked beneath Harlech’s UNESCO-listed castle in the heart of Snowdonia National Park. From this peaceful base you can stroll to miles of Cardigan Bay’s sweeping sand, lose yourself in quiet forest and mountain trails, or simply relax over a locally distilled gin while the drama of the Welsh coastline unfolds around you.
Each of the hotel’s seven bedrooms is furnished with a super-king bed, plush linens, luxury toiletries and a generous hospitality tray stocked with fine Text taken from bandbstays.co.uk teas, coffee and homemade biscuits. Twin arrangements are available when booked directly and well-behaved dogs are welcomed in every room for a nightly supplement of £14. Executive & larger rooms with extra space and their own coffee machines are ideal for longer stays, while complimentary Wi-Fi is available throughout, though like much of Snowdonia it can falter, especially in wet weather.
Seasonal menus in the restaurant showcase Welsh produce cooked from scratch, pairing perfectly with the bar’s collection of more than seventy gins, thirty-five whiskies, draught beers, ciders and carefully chosen wines. The ambience is deliberately calm and child-free, allowing guests to savour a leisurely dinner or sample rare spirits that are no longer in production.
Harlech’s rail station lies moments away, offering scenic links to Barmouth, Porthmadog and onward heritage lines that thread deeper into the mountains. On clear days Snowdon appears on the horizon, yet countless walks begin right above the village and a five-mile beach stretches invitingly below. Golfers will also appreciate the Royal St David’s course directly opposite the hotel, rounding off this relaxed, gin-loving haven on the Cambrian coast.
