The Ffestiniog Railway

Cae Gwyn is a warm and welcoming bed and breakfast accommodation set in a centuries old former farmhouse at the edge of Penrhyndeudraeth village in Gwynedd, North Wales. It has a large garden/picnic area with great views over the mountains and estuary. Watch the steam train climb through the village and round the ridge off towards Tan y bwlch.

The courtyard at Cae Gwyn

Parts of Cae Gwyn and its outbuildings date back over 300 years. The original cottage and barn form part of the courtyard. The house was built and added to over many years, following the contours of the rock it stands on thus requiring the odd internal step from room to room. Only the barn is visible from the road as the house is set up on a rock behind the front field. This gives views over the village, across the bay to Harlech and several mountain ranges.

A chemist and doctor's surgery are located on the road to Porthmadog near the church. At the top of the village is the Ffestiniog steam railway station while less than two miles away is the famous village of Portmeirion.
