Celebrate New Year in Snowdonia

November 4th 2025

Fancy getting away for New Year? We have availability at Pentre Bach Bunkhouse for up to 16 people for a minimum of 2 nights. We are also dog friendly.

Our Bunkhouse is an ideal place to get away for the New Year. We are close to the mountains, coast , castles, lakes, cycle trails and pretty villages. Our friendly local pub is only a 10 minute walk away.
We have an ideal outdoor space to have a fire in our firepit and star gaze. Just buy wood from local shops as we don’t sell it.
Sorry no fireworks as we are surrounded by livestock.
If you fancy exploring you can walk out to 2 mountains that surround us (Moel Eilio and Mynydd Mawr) so saves driving and parking fees or a longer scenic route to the pub. Our local beach is only a 20 minute drive which is great for a bracing walk.
