A Happy New Year to everyone. One of the warmest Christmas periods on record has left Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa) an uncharacteristic green and grey  colour for the start of a new year. Colder weather is forecast so it may soon adopt its seasonal cloak of white snow.

2024 was a year of mixed weather with more rain than normal over the summer period. This did not deny guests their opportunity to enjoy the scenery of North Wales. It was another good year for the Bwthyn and it was great to wlecome back some previous guests.

The Bwthyn is closed from the 4th January to the 1st March 2025, but you can already make bookings for the rest of 2025, just click the ‘Online Booking’ button on the left.

The weather did mean that there were fewer sunsets than expected but those that took place did not disappoint. The sunset below was taken just before the summer solstice when the setting sun hits the summit of Holy Island and then slides down its flank. Sunset season will restart in April 2025, but before then there may still be red skies, stars and even the northern lights to be seen.

Through 2024 there were more Bwthyn guests arriving in electric  or  plug  in  hybrid  vehicles.  Charging  points  are

available across North Wales but there are still some black spots mainly in more remote areas. Bwthyn guests can charge their cars overnight to ensure freedom from range anxiety!
