Penmachno Hall

About

A former Rectory dating from 1862, Penmachno Hall is set in over two acres of private grounds fronted by the Glasgwm River. Situated in the Snowdonia National Park, four miles from the tourist centre of Betws-y-Coed, Penmachno Hall offers the opportunity to be within easy reach of all the major tourist attractions, whilst at the same time enjoying the seclusion that the largely undiscovered Glasgwm valley has to offer.

Self catering accommodation is available in the self contained two bedroom Coach House, or in the two bedroom apartment in the main house, where the hall, stairs and landing areas are shared with the owners.
