Activities
If you are a hiker or walker then you probably already know that North Wales has some of the most interesting and challenging walks / hikes in the whole of the UK . 

Please Note:
Tours are only avaiable on a Friday to Monday basis.

Surrounding our cottage are a few nice easy and yet interesting walks. The favourite being the “hill”, you can either take the short but steep hike to the top which takes approx 10 minutes and is very much worth the effort as once you reach the top the views are simply stunning reaching far out over the coast line into the wide open ocean.

example4    example4    example4
Alternatively take the walk around the hill which takes approx 30 to 40 minutes, again there is plenty to see such as varied wildlife and buzzards which hunt all around the hill, at times you can see anything up to four buzzards hunting at any one time.

There is also a very nice 3 mile walk to the next village “Henlan” this walk is along one of the main lanes at Isfryn and is simply beautiful on a summer’s day with a nice  local pub at each end of the walk for you to eat and relax in at your leisure. Just put you boots on and head off from Isfryn in any direction you will not be disappointed. Inside the cottage you will find a local walking / hiking book which maps out many local walks as well as walks through out Snowdonia which is only a 15 to 20 minute drive from the cottage. Snowdonia could be considered as “Heaven on Earth”

What are we offering on our hiking package?
Packages start Friday evenings to Monday.

We come to collect you from Colwyn Bay train station (main North Wales train line) which you can get to from anywhere in the UK, and which is only a short drive from the cottage, or should you wish to drive then Isfryn Cottage is easy to find.

Day 1 (Saturday 9am, we leave Isfryn Cottage)
On your first morning we will drive you into Betws-y-Coed , and will arrive by 10am.

Betws-y-Coed is an outstanding place of natural beauty surrounded by many different and varied walks with a large beautiful river that flows all year round.

In this popular idyllic village you will also find a number of out door shops, Café’s and a tourist information centre, which you will find very useful and informative. Betws-y-Coed is a very special scenic place which should not be missed by anybody visiting North Wales.

We will arrange with you an agreed point of collection in Betws-y-Coed for 5pm . This will give you plenty of time to walk the areas see the famous swallow falls and take in the scenery which in our opinion is un beatable.

Day 2 (Sunday 9am we leave Isfryn cottage)
You will be taken to Llanberis were you can catch the train to the summit of Mount Snowdon, which we are sure will be the most fantastic train journey you have ever taken,

example4   example4   example4

The views during this train ride really are out of this world, it’s the journey of a life time.

Many people travel far and wide to take this train journey and we don’t think it would ever be possible for anybody to be disappointed. You can return from the summit via the train to the point at which you started (i.e. Llanberis ) or walk down from the summit of Mount Snowdon which takes appprox 4 hours and will give you outstanding  views and towards the end will bring you to a lovely scenic reservoir.

example4   example4   example4

Most people choose this option but we will be happy to collect you from the point at which you start your trip Llanberis at an agreed time should you wish to use the train for your return trip back down the Mountain, or we will arrange with you to pick you up from the other side of the Mountain, ie the side you will walk down from to the main car park (Just follow the other people you will not get lost) and we will be there waiting to return you to Isfryn cottage.

We strongly suggest you contact this number 0844 493 8120 to book your train tickets in advance as this train route can and does get busy, we would not like to see you disappointed. Take a look at this railway website, there is lots of info including ticket prices etc

Railway closed between end of October to late March. Should you still wish to book a Walking / Hiking break with us when the railway is closed then we can still offer you Llanberis for its numerous walks and hikes, Llanberis is a hiking hot spot in Snowdonia with stunning beautiful scenery.

Or we will take you directly to the main car park of Mount Snowdon where you can begin your hike to the summit this option should only be considered by the experienced and fit hiker as this is a challenging Mountain and obviously has many dangers. Start and end at the same car park. Nant Perri s
