Immersed in the picture-perfect charms of rural Wales, Porth Eryri is Welsh for “Gateway to Snowdonia”, because that’s exactly what this exquisite glamping site happens to be.

A mere 10-minute drive from Betws-y-Coed, an enchanting village that’s also known as the Gateway to Snowdonia, you’ll be completely immersed in captivating, soul-stirring views of soaring mountains and wildlife-steeped woodland.

Welcoming owners and life-long locals Gethin and Teleri have worked long and hard to realise their dream of creating Porth Eryri Glamping – which is privately nestled on their 50-acre working farm – in a genuine labour of love.

Each luxurious forest cabin was expertly hand-crafted in Wales, with soothing soft-toned décor and distinctive finishing touches that evoke a warm sense of home. Each individually-styled cabin also comes complete with its very own stargazing hot tub… a real treat at the end of a full day exploring the Great Outdoors!

Named after the mountain ranges that surround the farm, Y Foel Las is a Scandi-style A-frame cabin that’s ideal for a couple, while family-friendly Tryfan and Moel Siabod each sleep up to six guests.

Boasting clean-lined interiors and a bespoke spiral staircase, Y Foel Las features a downy kingsize bed on the mezzanine, with a sleek, fully-equipped kitchen downstairs – though there’s also a pizza oven and barbecue waiting outside for lazy summer evenings on the decking.

Back inside, the log-burner, cosy sofa, and Smart TV are ideal accompaniments to snuggly nights in, and there’s a walk-in rainfall shower for invigorating morning freshen-ups.

More information

Tryfan comes complete with a double bedroom, a bunk room, and a kingsize ‘hayloft’ bedroom accessed by a ladder (be warned: adventurous kids might want to claim this one for themselves!) The sociable open-plan living area leads straight out to your furnished al fresco space, where you’ll find a combination log-burner, barbecue and pizza oven.

Moel Siabod also boasts a convenient combination of kingsize, double, and bunk beds, all on the upper level, with the same facilities and furnished outdoor space as Tryfan – including the aforementioned wood-fired hot tub.

If you’ve packed your hiking boots (something Gethin and Teleri heartily recommend!) you could tackle Yr Wyddfa – otherwise known as the iconic Snowdon – itself. With Porth Eryri just 30 minutes away from the access car park, there’s really no excuse. All four of the famous Zip World sites are close by too, offering a wide range of exhilarating adventures for kids (both big and little!)

Don’t worry if this feels a little daunting however, as there are plenty more mountains to choose from… not to mention some truly beautiful lakes, rivers, and waterfalls to explore. Again, for those in a thrill-seeking mood, the National Whitewater Centre is close by and on hand.

Yet you’re also close to charming, picture-perfect villages and some of Britain’s loveliest beaches, with a short drive leading to the popular resorts of Barmouth, Llandudno and Colwyn Bay (to name just a few).

With such a warm Welsh welcome, and endless opportunity to immerse yourselves in fresh-air adventure, wildlife, history, and family fun right from the doorstep, you could find you’re booking your return visit to Porth Eryri Glamping before you’ve even arrived home!
