Blaen-y-Nant is now a comfortable though rustic and atmospheric hut, much treasured by the members and their families, and by the many other organisations that use it. It has three bedrooms, sleeping a possible (and often achieved!) 27 people, and a 4th bedroom reserved for up to 6 members who may use the hut regardless of any other groups who may be staying there. For “overspill” occasions there is camping in the garden.

It has an excellent and recently refurbished kitchen with good cooking facilities, heated by a Rayburn stove (only smokeless fuel to be used in this), and a large and convivial lounge, with traditional open fire. There are flush toilets and washrooms, and also (for the fastidious), a hot shower.

Blaen-y-Nant is superbly placed overlooking Llyn Crafnant (see map for details), and surrounded by craggy hills. Although admittedly a little way from the more popular climbing areas, there is quality rock climbing in the valley, and the club has recently published a guidebook for Crafnant. Being in the south part of the Carneddau, the reasonably fit can walk to Craig-yr-Ysfa, to Tryfan or Moel Siabod, while Capel Curig is only 2 miles on foot. There is also excellent hill walking more locally. Without leaving the valley, you can climb, walk, mountain bike, relax or party!

The hut is in a secluded position, ideal for large gatherings at times like bonfire night, and is family friendly.

Whilst members can go to the hut at any time, they are advised to first check with the Hut Booking secretary to check what outside group may be in residence and hut availability.
Group bookings are also invited by outside clubs and organisations.
