Abbey Farm

Snowdonia & the Llŷn


With three stone self-catering cottages (the largest sleeping 14), a campsite in the lee of Valle Crucis Abbey, a farm shop and a tearoom-bistro (serving food 9am to 9pm high season, closed from 5pm Monday to Wednesday low season), Abbey Farm covers many bases. If you can't be bothered setting up your own tent, semifixed camping 'pods' make life easier.
