An excellent retreat at any time of the year.
Llanberis is dwarfed by the imposing Mount Snowdon; the highest mountain in England and Wales. Many walkers and climbers are drawn by the challenge of Snowdon, but it is also possible to experience the views from the summit by taking the Snowdon Mountain Railway. Llanberis is located in the Snowdonia National Park and offers other attractions for those interested in unspoilt scenery, abundant wildlife and the variety of activities offered by the great outdoors. For a more relaxed approach, Llanberis is well-served by restaurants, pubs and shops and there are a number of tourist attractions within a short drive, such as Caernarfon Castle and National trust properties at Penrhyn and Plas Newydd.

The cottage has been sympthetically reovated, plenty of history still visable. It's in a great place to use as a base to walk the hills and valleys of Llanberis. Safe for well behaved dogs and kids! We had a great family break

The house is very disabled friendly, including shower room, downstairs bedroom, low worktops, cooker and more. Even the upstairs bedrooms are accessible via the front door, so the full house can be used. Plenty of parking space, beautiful garden with swings, toys and a bbq to entertain the family. Issues were addressed quickly by the friendly owners who live next door.

Bathrooms- lots of mould, in need of repairs, bedrooms- bedbugs in master bedroom, contacted the owner who lives next door and she sent pest control, all ok for one night then found them in the baby cot, had pest control back. The house needs a good clean in all aspects of the rooms. If the house had a deep clean I would stay there again.
