This eco-friendly hostel offers superb Snowdonia accommodation for activity breaks in the Ogwen Valley and is surrounded by all of the geographical wonders of the area. Stay below the impressive Glyder mountains with views of the Nant Ffrancon Valley at this former quarry manager's cottage. All levels of walks can be found within a stone’s throw of the hostel and you won't need to travel far for world-class mountain bike trails. It's perfectly placed for strolls to see Rhaeadr Ogwen Waterfalls, Devil's Kitchen and Cwm Idwal nature reserve with its dramatic lake.
This is YHA’s longest standing Welsh hostel - follow in the footsteps of YHA's founders and relive the walks and scrambles enjoyed by the Merseyside Group in those early years. Remember to pick up a copy of the 'Idwal log' at the hostel!
YHA Idwal cottage is fully licensed and has a well equipped self catering kitchen. With no WIFI but spectacular mountain views, this is the perfect place to unplug and get in touch with nature.
