Penycoed Hall is an imposing property standing proudly in its own grounds overlooking the town of Dolgellau. Breathtaking views of the Cader Idris mountain range can be enjoyed from the house or from the secluded gardens surrounding it.



The Hall dates from 1889 and has a fascinating history. In it's time, having been a mansion for the gentry, home to a princess and a Hall of Residence for a girls boarding school, Penycoed now offers two luxurious self catering holiday apartments or a suite and rooms for our guests who prefer to stay on a bed & breakfast basis.

Penycoed hall is just a few minutes walk from Dolgellau which is an attractive market town with a good selection of shops, banks, restaurants and pubs. The Snowdonia National Park Information Centre is also located here.


Within easy reach are many castles, ancient churches, abbey ruins and other historic sites. Locally there are bird watching and wildlife centres, fishing, pony trekking, watersports, bowls and golf. Many narrow gauge steam railways have their homes in this part of Wales and can be enjoyed by all ages as can the clean sandy beaches just 9 miles away. The sea is much warmer here than in other parts of Britain and dolphins and seals can be seen just off the coast during the summer.

Our two self catering apartments are furnished and equipped to a high standard. We provide duvets, bed linen, pillows, towels, tea towels, kitchen rolls, dish cloths, scourers, washing-up liquid, bin bags and toilet rolls. Central heating, hot water and electricity are all included in the rental charge.
