About this property
Groeslon Uchaf is an impressive hillside retreat set in the characterful village of Dinorwig, just above Llanberis, offering families and groups a striking base for a break in Snowdonia. With far-reaching views across the valley and a setting that feels wonderfully tucked away, this is the sort of place that invites adventure by day and long, relaxed evenings by the fire or in the hot tub. Step inside and you’ll find a warm, welcoming home built for get-togethers. The spacious kitchen/diner comes fully equipped with a double oven, hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine, ideal for preparing hearty meals after a day on the mountain.
Gather around the dining table to swap stories, or settle beside the woodburning stove with a drink in hand. The separate sitting room offers another calm space to unwind, complete with a TV, DVD player and a stash of films and games for slower evenings. Across the property, four inviting bedrooms offer comfort and flexibility: two king-size rooms with TVs, one with its own en-suite; a twin room also with a TV; and an external double bedroom benefitting from en-suite facilities, perfect for anyone seeking a little extra privacy. A sleek family bathroom with bath and walk-in shower completes the indoor setup.
Outside, the views really steal the show. The enclosed, multi-level patio gives you plenty of spots to sit out, fire up the barbecue, or slide into the hot tub and admire the mountains as they change colour with the light. There’s off-road parking too, making arrivals easy. Dinorwig places you right at the gateway to Snowdonia. Llanberis is just over the hill, with its lakeside trails, cafés and the Snowdon Mountain Railway. Caernarfon’s mighty castle, the waterfalls and woodlands of Betws-y-Coed, and the dramatic walking routes that criss-cross the National Park all sit within comfortable reach. For big adventures, big views and a home that brings everyone together, Groeslon Uchaf is a standout choice in North Wales.
Dominated by the grandeur of the Snowdon Massif, Llanberis is flanked by two lakes, Llyn Padarn and Llyn Peris and is one of the most popular mountain tourist centres in the Snowdonia National Park. In fact, Llanberis is something of a mecca for walkers and climbers, being the starting point for the ascent of Snowdon - the highest mountain in England and Wales. The ascent can be made either by train via the Snowdon Mountain Railway, or on foot along one of the many routes to the summit. Each year, major racing events attract thousands to the area: The fast Snowdon Race to the summit, held in July every year, a triathlon known as the world's toughest, and The Snowdonia Marathon, held in October - a gruelling 26-mile course that starts and finishes in Llanberis, circumnavigating the Snowdon Massif. The area is also popular for mountain biking, open water swimming and stand up paddle boarding. Within Llanberis itself there are excellent places to eat and drink and a great choice of shopping. Just 7 miles from Llanberis on the coast is Caernarfon with its magnificent castle and town walls and close by are National Trust properties at Penrhyn, Plas Newydd and Bodnant Gardens.
