We ended our hike up Snowdon feeling tired but happy and we were looking forward to a well-deserved rest back at our hostel. Sadly that was not to be...we returned to discover that we were locked out! The main door was kept locked out of check-in hours and we hadn't picked up that day's door code. We are not ones to let unfortunate events get us down so, with an hour to kill before we could get in, we hopped in our car and drove to Beddgelert, in search of a cup of tea.
Beddgelert is a picturesque little village about a 10 minute drive from our hostel. We parked up and mooched around until we found the Glandwr Cafe. It looked nice, they served tea and cake, and there were free tables, which was pretty much all we were looking for. To find that the Cafe also had free wifi was an unexpected but very welcome bonus! As is the case for much of Wales, the 3G/4G signal had been mostly non-existent during our stay, so it was nice to have an opportunity to check emails. We really recommend this Cafe, if you're ever in the area. The staff were friendly and the cake was delicious. In fact, it was so good that we decided then and there to change our plans for the following day so that we could return for lunch! The co-joining ice-cream parlour, Glaslyn ices, sells award-winning ice-cream in a huge variety of flavours, and it is worth dropping by there as well.
