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.

We have just arrived homed , spent almost a week at this property, Barbra is a lovely lady , there was some nice touches cakes and tea coffee sugar supplied ,for our use ,Barbra even gave us milk ,I forgot to bring , and very helpful, I would return, if the property had its own WiFi , Grandkids where at a loss without it ,(we had two days of rain ),I will say the Barn could do with a little TLC , in certain areas , But it didnât spoil our stay , The Barn is a great location Canarvon is a 10 minute drive , Llanberis is 5 minutes drive , , itâs the perfect location for Snowdon, , The slate museum in Llanberis is worth a visit , free entry

We were 12 people including children. Lovely ,clean ,spacious , well equipped cottage - including, tea, coffee ,sugar iron with ironing stand ,hand wash in the kitchen and all the ensuites . Welsh cakes and a cake were also provided in the kitchen . All bedrooms were ensuite. Plenty of space for all of us with a nice big dining table in the kitchen to accommodate all of us. The owner was very nice and gave me instructions on the phone re how to find the cottage but unfortunately we still got lost . We arrived very late but she was awake and guided us to the cottage. Location was very good with a short drive to mount Snowden and Zipworld. Piggery Pottery was on site and the children really enjoyed spending a few hours painting some pottery. I would highly recommend this cottage if you are planning a visit to Snowdonia.
