Plas Weunydd Hotel: Star Gazing Staycations at Snowdonia’s Newest Hotel

Wednesday 02nd Apr 2025 |

Plas Weunydd Hotel, nestled within the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Slate Landscape of North West Wales in Eryri (Snowdonia), is set to reopen on 11th April 2025 with a revitalised look and feel and a brand new family focussed offering, blending history, comfort and adventure.

The 4-star hotel has been designed with adventurers, families and furry four legged companions in mind. The renewed offering introduces spacious family rooms, a dedicated boot room, monthly guided mountain walks, and a Strava club, all curated by the knowledgeable local team to help guests craft unforgettable adventures. 

With 24 thoughtfully designed bedrooms, including five family rooms and dog-friendly suites, Plas Weunydd Hotel is a perfect destination for couples, solo travellers, families and groups of friends alike. Most rooms feature vast windows that allow natural light to flood the space, as well as beautifully appointed ensuite bathrooms and cosy furnishings.

The hotel restaurant offers seasonal dishes that champion local ingredients, outdoor seating is available for an al fresco tipple with mountain views and log burner keeps guests cosy and warm after a day of adventure. At Plas Weunydd, guests will find a relaxed atmosphere where muddy boots and paws are always welcome. 

Located in the historic slate town of Blaenau Ffestiniog, Plas Weunydd is perfectly positioned for those looking to explore the dramatic landscapes of Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park. From hiking and mountain biking to discovering the town’s UNESCO-listed slate heritage, guests have an abundance of activities right on their doorstep. 

For a staycation with a difference, exchange the bright lights of the city for the quiet, remote calm of the Welsh hinterlands. Peppered throughout the year are spectacular meteor showers, full moons and eclipses and there is no better place to marvel at the stunning celestial activity overhead than at Plas Weunydd, far removed from light pollution and the distractions of life.

Aptly equipped for star gazers, Plas Weuyndd has recently installed a suspended hammock bed, as a designated star gazing area for guests, and armed with blankets, cushions and throws, is the best place to nestle up under the stars. Fear not, the nearby fire pit will keep you toasty and is the perfect spot for toasting marshmallows and making s’mores for an evening of fun for your entire party. 

For an unforgettable staycation experience, visit Plas Weunydd during peak meteor shower and eclipse dates this year.  For more information or to make a reservation, visit www.plasweunydd.co.uk/plas-weunydd-hotel.
