looking for group accommodation (self cater would be cool) for 20 people near a nice park with lake.. and also very near a good trails .. the 20 people only go for walking and sightseeing or some sort, and I just need to kill the time cycling somewhere.

went to CYB before and for some reason my satnav took me to a route which is very high up mountain and reservoir lake probably foot of snowdonia but i am not very familiar with the area nearby. many thanks

It might have been Nant Gwynant - there's a bunkhouse there too

If you mean that bunkhouse at the bottom of the Watkin Path I'd hardly describe it as 'good accommodation' unless it's improved dramatically!

I must say that Bryn Dinas Bunkhouse looks much nicer than when I stayed there, to be fair.

Not overlooking the lake but the the view from the front door is nice, as I recall. The Watkin Path is very close by.

I usually stay at Plas Curig, used to be YHA, now a smart independent hostel. Has facilities for self catering or choice of cafes and pubs in walking distance.
