Cornerstones Guesthouse

Snowdonia & the Llŷn


All stripped floorboards and oak beams, this converted 16th-century house has charm and history in spades. It's now a five-star gold B&B, with fires in winter, fantastic breakfasts and three beautifully appointed rooms. On weekdays from October to March Cornerstones offers three nights for the price of two.
