About this property
A delightful, stone-built barn conversion with eco-friendly solar powered underfloor heating, five en-suite bedrooms, each with a TV and a large sitting room with woodburner and charming picture window with views over the courtyard. Note: This property can be booked with Ref. 1576 to accommodate up to 28 people.
Situated in the foothills of the Snowdonia Mountain Range, Llanrug is a small village with two pubs and a shop just three miles from the famous town of Llanberis. Popular amongst walkers, this tranquil settlement is set beneath the Snowdon Massif and flanked by the Llyn Padarn and Llyn Peris lakes. As one of the most popular mountain tourist centres in the Snowdonia National Park, Llanberis is an ideal spot for walkers and climbers to gather, particularly during the annual Snowdon marathon. For the less energetic holidaymaker, trains travel to the summit at regular intervals giving those unable to climb to the peak a chance to enjoy the incredible views. Back in the town itself there are a number of excellent places to eat and drink as well as a great choice of shops.

Went out of her way to be helpful and was only ever a phone call away with advice or support as needed. The accommodation was great for us as a large group and a great retreat from some beautiful wet and wild walks this winter!

As a large family this worked very well for all of us. I cannot praise the owner enough, nothing was to much trouble, such a lovely lady. Thank you Barbara for a wonderful stay.

The house has a wow factor and looks to be a converted barn with no expense spared fof the amount of natural wood used in the renovation. I stayed in the large family bedroom which was lovely. Really big rooms and ample parking. A really good base for visiting North Wales.
