Over the last few days we have begun to see the signs of Spring. The lambs are in the fields - some with their jackets on - and the leaves are coming out on the trees. It is a truly beautiful time of the year to visit Betws-y-coed.
Now that our alterations are coming to an end we can look forward to seeing you at The Courthouse(Henllys). We re-open on 18 April 2008.

Snowdon - the Rhyd Ddu Path

We re-open on 18 April - please do come and visit us.
