About us
Having lived less than half a mile from the front gates of Bryn Llys for the past 20 years it was in the summer of 2018 that we ventured down the long driveway for the first time. Even after that first short visit we were hooked having fallen in love with everything about it. The opportunity to buy Bryn Llys presented itself and we took the plunge…..with both feet!
We have both lived in Snowdonia for the past 25 years. In that time we have worked and raised our family in the area and discovered many amazing places. We can offer a wealth of advice and ideas for activities and things to do in the local area whatever the weather. Working as outdoor instructors we also have a depth of knowledge and experience to help advise on more adventurous activities and enjoy helping guests make the most of their time in the area
We feel incredibly privileged to be looking after Bryn Llys and we hope this comes across as we constantly strive to care for and improve this wonderful place for now and the future.
Providing a personalised service and experience is at the heart of all our plans for the future and we look forward to welcoming you to Bryn Llys very soon….
