Tŷ Hyll

The stone structure features massive boulders fitted together without mortar, creating irregular walls and a distinctive entrance with a substantial wooden door.

Two brothers constructed this dwelling in 1475 according to the Welsh tradition of building a house overnight to claim land rights.

The residence houses the Pot Mêl tearoom, which serves traditional Welsh baked goods and maintains a garden dedicated to local honeybee conservation.

Located along the A5 road between Betws-y-Coed and Capel Curig, the house functions as a visitor center with exhibits about regional architecture and beekeeping.

The interior contains an original carved fireplace inscription from 1475, marking the date when the initial residents established their claim to the property.
