About this property

Llanrug 1.6 miles. Greystones Chapel is a stunning, converted, detached chapel located on the outskirts of Llanrug in the heart of the Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park. Full of character and charm, this impressive property combines its original features with contemporary design, providing a stylish base for friends and family to explore the delights of Eryri (Snowdonia). As soon as you walk through the chapel’s original double doors, you’ll be greeted by an impressive and spacious hallway, complete with large chandeliers and grand arched doorways leading off to four light and airy bedrooms. Before exploring this unique abode, be sure to make use of the fantastic utility room, the perfect place to kick off your walking boots after a day exploring the surrounding countryside, with access to a handy double walk-in shower room. As you walk along the hallway, retaining a wealth of its original features, arrive at an attractive lounge; a stunning space that opens up to the first floor, with floor-to-ceiling windows and an impressive, vaulted ceiling. Spend your evenings snuggled up in front of the woodburning stove accompanied by your loved ones, or escape reality and enjoy a family film night on the Smart TV. The ground floor is also home to four spacious bedrooms where you can take your pick from two king-size rooms, one of which boasts an attractive en-suite shower room and dressing area, and one super-king size room, or a twin room housing two double beds; all of which provide the ideal space to relax and unwind in preparation for another day's adventure. After a day hiking in the mountains or cycling through enchanting forests, choose to indulge with a long soak in the bath or invigorating rinse in the walk-in shower in the family bathroom, which services all four bedrooms. As you walk upstairs, you’ll have a chance to admire the incredible vaulted ceiling and bright, airy atmosphere that the open-plan living space creates, not forgetting the character-filled balcony overlooking the ground-floor lounge. The fully-equipped kitchen will allow you to cook up your favourite meal before gathering around the dining table to catch up with loved ones and toast to a wonderful holiday, whilst appreciating the tasteful blend of traditional and contemporary features, such as the original chapel pews and atmospheric lighting. Enjoy a game of pool with your friends and family in the games room or grab a book from the extensive bookshelf and snuggle up on the sofa in the upstairs sitting room, with delightful hillside views. Find a cloakroom up here for your convenience, tucked behind the bookshelves of the games room, boasting stained glass windows adding even more character to this one-of-a-kind property. Back downstairs, find a charming, enclosed terrace garden, accessed through the patio doors leading from the lounge, perfect for enjoying in the summer months accompanied by an evening glass of wine or perhaps a spot of alfresco dining together with your loved ones. Cwm-y-Glo is a small village on the outskirts of Llanrug, where you will be able to stock up on your favourite treats or enjoy a cold drink in a local pub, perfect for a night away from the kitchen with some tasty pub grub. Just a short drive away is the popular village of Llanberis, packed with plenty of attractions to keep you and your loved ones busy for days, such as The National Slate Museum, Dolbadarn Castle and the Snowdon Mountain Railway, taking you on a journey to Wales’ highest peak, Mount Snowdon. If you can tear yourself away from the stunning lakeside location of Llanberis, you’ll find an abundance of things to see and do in Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, including an adrenaline-filled day out at Velocity 2, the world’s fastest zip-line, a visit to Beddgelert’s grave, and leisurely rambles surrounded by awe-inspiring views of spectacular Welsh landscapes, whilst challenging cycling routes are also available too. Staying at Capel Tabernacl ensures you are perfectly positioned to enjoy many hiking routes that Snowdonia National Park has to offer, whether you’re looking for a lakeside amble or a challenging hike to the summit of one of Wales’s highest peaks, Eryri (Snowdonia) is sure to deliver. Other must-see attractions await in the vibrant town centre of Caernarfon, home to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Caernarfon Castle, as well as the incredible Welsh Highland Railway, taking you on a journey of beautiful scenery over to the charming village of Beddgelert, and the exciting coastal town of Porthmadog, where you can venture over to the unique Italianate village of Portmeirion. A superb chapel conversion, Greystones Chapel is the perfect base for your Snowdonia adventure.

The charming village of Llanrug rests at the foothills of the Eryri (Snowdonia) Mountain Range, boasting two local shops, village pubs, a leisure centre and a golf course nearby. The expansive lakes of Llyn Padarn and Llyn Peris lie near to Llanberis, a popular village with walkers and climbers looking to start their ascent to Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon). Also close to the village is the coastal town of Caernarfon, and the serene village of Betws-y-Coed further afield, making Llanrug a great spot to explore the Snowdonia National Park.
