    Forest Retreat Manager

    Lesley Mort

    Our Forest Retreat Manager Lesley can be found in the Forest Retreat checking in guests, assisting with food and beverage and delivering orders to the cabins. Her favourite place to visit is Llanberis, where you can enjoy wild swimming in the lake and walk through old slate mines. She enjoys getting outside, walking, cycling and swimming in all weathers and recommends a visit to Cafe Colwyn for a bite to eat!

    What is your favourite cabin at Beddgelert and why?

    "Cabin 10, it is tucked away from the main drive, not overlooked and has views of the train track so you can see the steam train as it passes through."
