Nestling on the edge of Beddgelert Forest but just 5 minute drive into the village, the property is wonderfully secluded but never isolated. Located idyllically adjacent to the Lôn Gwyrfai path, Glan-y-Gors offers many welcoming features with the architectural styling continuing to the interior, providing designer inspired features throughout. The impressive vaulted ceilings of the living room and hallway reflect the grand views of the surrounding mountains. The kitchen and bedroom, whilst spacious, remain cosy and comfortable. The patio door opens onto a large canopied terrace with further spectacular mountain views including Moel Hebog and the surrounding forest. The canopy, which is an extension of the vaulted roof, allows you to sit out in comfort, enjoying the woodland garden even when the weather may be inclement.
The master bedroom enjoys a luxury en-suite with rainfall shower and heated mirror. Underfloor gas central heating is a feature throughout the property which is computer controlled for your comfort. Room temperatures can be individually adjusted to your personal preference. The spectacular tunnel woodburner in the living/dining room gives a cosy glow on cold nights. The kitchen is fully equipped and benefits from woodland views through picture windows and a westerly facing patio to enjoy the evening sun.
Whether you are planning a romantic break, an outdoor adventure or just to enjoy the wonderful surroundings of the Snowdonia National Park, staying at Glan-y-Gors is not only a holiday you will enjoy but a place you will want to keep coming back to. As you step out of your front door, you are greeted by the splendour of the Hafod Ruffydd waterfall with spectacular views of the nearby mountains. Miles of forest walks through stunning scenery await you. Picturesque Beddgelert village is nearby and the challenging routes up Snowdon a walk away. The Welsh Highland Railway meanders through the forest and the occasional whistles of the stream trains are always a joy to hear.
After a day exploring the local countryside and attractions, what better than to come back to the comfort in your own forest haven. On clear nights the stars seem to shine even brighter in the ink black sky and you will fall asleep to the gentle sound of the river passing by or the hoot of the owls in the forest. Shop, pub and restaurant less than 2 miles.

We loved the location of this lovely cottage on the edge of the forest. It was very comfortable with everything we could wish for. The owner Robert was so helpful and welcoming and we felt very much at home. We had an amazing week and highly recommend it.

Superb holiday home nestled at the edge of the Beddgelert Forest providing comfortable and cozy accommodation. Plenty of amenities in Beddgelert which is a short walk through the forest if you wish to leave your car behind. Plenty of options for the walker to explore the beautiful Pennant valley behind the property or a visit to the top of Yr Wyddfa for those seeking a more challenging hike all doable from the property. The owners of Glan y Gors were extremely responsive when I had a question on arrival, answering a message within minutes, it’s clear they really care about the experience their visitors have throughout their stay.

Perfect spot to stay. The accommodation has everything you could need and the place was spotless. You can literally walk into the hills and forest from your doorstep. It’s also an ideal base for exploring the north of Wales. The nearby village has lost of nice places to eat and drink. The village shops have a good selection of items that you might need. You can sit outside and listen to the birds and hear the train whistle blowing. Hard to beat that!
