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.

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.
