Ffynnon
Style Glamorous Gothic
Setting Snug in Snowdonia
Tucked away in the foothills of Snowdonia, North Wales, Ffynnon is as close to the Mr & Mrs Smith rural B&B ideal as it’s possible to be. With just four rooms and one suite, it’s gloriously intimate; and its blend of Victorian styles with some seriously stylish 21st-century design flourishes is the ideal backdrop to a relaxing weekend in the country. The hospitality on offer is second to none.

In the know
Our favourite rooms
We love the ultra-romantic ‘Sydney’, which comes with a beautiful slipper bath and a king-size bed that’s dominated by a gothic headboard. However, you’re bound to be happy with whichever room you choose – all are sumptuously decorated and equipped with all the modern touches you’d expect. Beds come with cosy Welsh blankets, and there’s even a pillow menu provided, so you can ensure a well-rested head.
Packing tips
Don’t forget your swimwear. It might not sound like the most obvious thing to bring to North Wales, but you’ll be kicking yourself if you have to stay out of the outdoor hot tub because of a lack of lycra.
Also
Ffynnon’s in-house spa offers a full range of beauty treatments, including facials, manicures, pedicures, massages and aromatherapy sessions.
