Welcome to Bryn Bras Castle in North Wales, a Grade II* Listed Building of Architectural and Historic interest where we offer a choice of exclusive and gracious self-catering castle holiday Apartments (Welsh Assembly Government 'VisitWales' five star). The Apartments are tastefully and imaginatively arranged within the unique and delightful Regency Romanesque-style Castle, set in 32 acres of truly peaceful and tranquil grounds consisting of gardens, woodlands and mountain. We enjoy a generally mild climate amid the gentle foothills of Snowdonia’s National Park, near to Caernarfon and Llanberis in the County of Gwynedd. We have been letting the Apartments within Bryn Bras Castle since 1965.

Come and enjoy the warmth and comfort in one of the few residential Castles in Wales, with the magnificent Snowdon mountain range and National Park on your doorstep, and yet within easy reach of superb sandy beaches and quiet coves, historic Castles, gardens, mountain railways, tranquil lakes and deep forests, together with a host of other attractions midst Welsh culture, heritage and history. There are a variety of National Trust properties and World Heritage Castles in the area.

The historic nature of Bryn Bras Castle with its distinctive structure and style, and the natural beauty of the Snowdonian grounds create a special environment for the holiday Apartment cottage suites within the Castle. Thought and care have been taken in providing plenty of space with modern comforts and conveniences, yet, at the same time respecting the integrity, elegance and style of this important Grade II* Listed Building. The collections of antiques throughout the Apartments create an individual atmosphere in each one and make them genuinely special. The decoration is in keeping with the Castle’s character with rich wallpapers and fabrics enhancing the furniture and furnishings. The somewhat empty minimalist harshness of modern conversions does not suit Bryn Bras.

Our many thoughtful touches and the uniqueness of our much loved home provide guests with a relaxed homely feeling.

We do not aspire to the formality of an hotel style service, but offer an informal, peaceful and caring environment.

We are pleased to welcome guests who will respect the integrity of our property and we value your support and wish you all the most enjoyable holiday in our home.
