Members’ Cottage

Our woodland cottage in Bryn Brethynau, in the heart of Snowdonia, is free for members to use, all year round. There’s no need to book and it’s never hired out, so it’s always there for members and their guests.

It’s an ideal mountaineering base with the Llanberis Pass, Tryfan, Ogwen, Snowdon, Gogarth and Tremadog all in easy reach, and the Tyn-y-Coed pub a short walk away.

  • Sleeps 23

  • Wood burning stove

  • Fully equipped kitchen

  • Hot showers and drying room

  • Free to use for members and £8 per night for their guests (£5 for Mountaineering Club of South Africa members)

Your first visit

Members will receive the access code to the cottage from the membership secretary after they have joined the club.

If you are staying in the cottage, you need to take a sleeping bag for the bunks, and a torch for the walk up from the car park.

Please sign in to the logbook when you arrive, and remember to pay any guest fees.
