- Bill HAberdeen, United Kingdom99 contributionsLovely village in the heart of SnowdoniaBeddgelert is a lovely little village located at a dramatic site at the confluence of the Glaslyn and Colwyn Rivers with spectacular views of Snowdon and nearby peaks. The days of copper and slate mining are long gone and it is very much focused on tourism these days with hotels, B&Bs, pubs, cafes and gift shops. The access roads are narrow and it can get very crowded in the summer and parking can be problematic but the Welsh Highland Railway has a station at the edge of the village. Don't miss the stroll to Gelert's grave or if you're feeling more energetic, a walk along the spectacular Afon Glaslyn gorge.Visited July 2023Travelled with familyWritten 18 July 2023
- sintio45 contributionsNon commercial 13nd century church of St. Mary. A very nice suprise!Very nice small town but very commercial due to the great number of tourists. I truly recomment to visit the unknown 13nd century priory church of St Mary. It is hidden at the end of the first street at your left after you cross the bridge.Visited July 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 31 July 2023
- TWal1Canberra, Australia2,926 contributionsPeaceful Village, Friendly PeopleWe enjoyed staying two nights in this village. It is easy to walk around with a variety of shops, pubs, cafes and things to see. It has a quaint and unhurried feel. The locals are very friendly, happy to chat and have good insights about things to see and do. You get a sense that this is a tight knit community. It is a small village and doesn’t have an ATM. You can get cash from the Post Office, but not all cards are accepted. It is a good idea to have some cash with you for small purchases.Visited August 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 25 August 2023

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A beautiful welsh village nestled in the mountains, with a variety of places to eat/drink, a beautiful river walk and you can see Gelert’s Grave and statue, which was lovely having read the book in school myself and the children now also.

Super nice village. We spent a couple of hours there. If you like hiking this place is a MUST, plenty of paths leading to it. It is very well kept.

Three pubs in the town - sorry can't comment as we did not use any of them - we had a decent bar in our hotel - but they all looked worth a visit
