February can bring winter sunshine and frosty bright days or cold blustery showers where you need to wrap up warm. Whatever the weather, we hope these ideas will give you some suggestions to fill your day and create happy half term memories for all ages.
We have many activities here at the hotel that can be enjoyed by all the family. The indoor heated pool is always a winner and for the less energetic, the warm, relaxing spa bath is perfect to unwind in. We also have a games room where a challenge or two can be set, be it at the pool table or with a fast game of air hockey. For adults we have a full size snooker table for your use. There is also the children’s playroom equipped with toys and books for the younger guests or a children’s play park in the hotel grounds. If the weather is wet, spend some time in one of our cosy lounges playing some of the board games that we have or pick up one of the magazines or books to have a browse through.
Bring your wellies for a woodland walk. A short drive away is Ynysmaengwyn, just outside Tywyn. Open all year round, the beautiful woodland setting is perfect for a walk and wander, or for the more adventurous, there is an orienteering course. Wrap up warm and explore the tranquil grounds of the estate once owned by the Corbett family where you can see the ruins of the once grand mansion. There is also the Dovecote that stands in the grounds, a walled garden and also a Fairy Glen hidden in the woods. Or make the most of being the only people on the beach and blow away the cobwebs, where the only footsteps left behind will be your own!

We are very lucky here that Tywyn has its own cinema! The Magic Lantern will be showing family films during its matinee showing throughout half term. The cinema here is definitely worth a visit. It was first opened in 1893 as the Assembly Rooms and it has been showing films since the early 1900’s. It is steeped in history but is beautifully modern inside offering table service with a range of snacks and popcorn, a fully stocked bar and two stages where live events are regularly held.
The Talyllyn Railway is also a family favourite and although being closed for winter, there are trains running during February half term between February 12th and February 24th 2024. You can take your four legged friends with you on the train for a memorable day out, whether you choose to disembark at Dolgoch falls for a walk up to the waterfalls, Abergynolwyn for some lunch and hot drink in the café or travel to the end of the line at Nant Gwernol for a woodland walk. All Trefeddian guests recieve 20% off train journeys at the Talyllyn.
A little further away, but well worth a visit is Llechwedd Slate Caverns at Blaenau Ffestiniog. Fun for all the family, Bounce Below is an enormous underground net adventure with slides to different levels, set in a disused mine. There is also the world’s first underground golf course here too. The 18-hole adventure golf course, set over 4 floors is only accessible by Europe’s steepest cable railway. For the more adventurous, why not have a go at the incredible zip line, the 4 parallel lines travel at speeds over 50mph, an amazing chance to soak up the beautiful landscapes. And finally here you can take on the Caverns, a course of various nooks, crannies, tunnels, tightropes and rope bridges and with 13 zip lines it’s a fun all weather activity as its also completely underground when the worst of the welsh weather hits.
Whatever the weather there is always something to do at The Trefeddian!
