The Walker's Retreat by Birch Stays

Nestled in the foothills near Snowdon The Old Tearoom at Ty Llywelyn is the perfect retreat for walkers, hikers, cyclists or those just wanting to enjoy this area of outstanding natural beauty. Built in 1840 in The Old Siop has been lovingly converted by Birch Stays into a stylish 6-bedroom townhouse that can accommodate 12 guests, allowing your enjoyment of the home’s traditional features, log-burning fires, and central location to the historic and picturesque village of Trefriw.


The open plan living and entertaining space is the ideal setting for cosy evenings after a day’s activities and with two separate lounges, there is plenty of space to provide a more sophisticated lounge and a nosier lounge for the younger guests!

With its generously proportioned bedroom suites, the The Old Siop offers flexible sleeping spaces to accommodate a range of family and small group sizes. The external character of the townhouse is complemented by the modern twists on traditional interior design. The home’s original features have been maintained and finished in warm natural textiles and patterns that provide a warm and comforting space to relax.
