Cwellyn Arms is a Country Inn with accommodation at the foot of Mount Snowdon in the village of Rhyd Ddu on the A4085 Caernarfon to Beddgelert road 4 miles from Beddgelert, in the Snowdonia National Park, North Wales.
Rhyd Ddu overlooks the sparkling clear waters of Llyn y Gadair, Llyn Cwellyn and the majestic western slopes of Mt. Snowdon, with two main footpaths, the Rhyd Ddu path and the Snowdon Ranger path starting from the village. There are also several mountain and forestry walks, for all levels, including low level walks within easy reach, see ‘local walks’.

It's a lovely pub with a warm atmosphere and great food. Situated right in the heart of Snowdonia. Piece tranquility and a sense of calm surround you. They also have bunkhouses to hire Which are superb.
A hidden gem, could have by passed this pub but once inside the team were very welcoming, great service and even had the fire on. Now down to the food, we was surprised every dish was presented with care and love and tasted really good. If you’re in the area check out this place! Best food in the area.
We spent two nights in our campervan at the campsite and enjoyed a fantastic meal in the restaurant at the Cwellyn Arms. The food was high quality, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. The campsite is fairly basic in terms of facilities but clean and tidy with stunning views and a beautiful location right on the lake just a half-hour walk from the pub itself. We will definitely return next summer to enjoy some wildwater swimming in the lake.
Food is only OK. Not sure any part of the Sunday roast was roasted. Beef looked and tasted like sliced deli meat microwaved, 'roast' potatoes were from the freezer to the deep fat frier, veggies microwaved or boiled... Place has a good atmosphere and serves a decent beer. Give the food a miss.
Absolutely incredible food. We really hadn't expected it to be so good!! Beautifully presented, imaginative menu and delicious. Really generous with the meat as well. Pub is in a lovely location, and we sat down along the river. Only flaw was that the outside seating area did look a bit tired, but the food and views more than made up for it
