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.

Within walking distance to Snowdon, the waterfall and the lake train. Parking was great right outside the apartment but also on the road outside so could leave the car even after we had checked out. The views out of the windows are amazing. The apartment is very spacious. Cons -Inside the property the stairway up had a damp smell. Every chest of drawers is broken, didn't affect us as we only stayed for two nights so didn't use them but if you were staying for longer and wanted to unpack I can imagine this would cause problems. The freezer froze all of our food so had to be thrown away. We needed to wash all cups and plates etc before using as they weren't clean The beds were extremely creaky and not very comfortable. The bedroom light wouldn't work and the smoke alarm was beeping however these were fixed by the host after our first night. Although my list of cons outweighs the pros, if you're looking for a large place to stay close to everything with good parking then it definitely meets that and with only a few adjustments it would be amazing. If I were visiting the area again I would stay again.

Every room of generous size. Good food and drink at the pub / restaurant on the corner just a few yards away. Fridge appeared to be stuck on maximum freeze setting. Water pressure at the shower head was poor. For a railway enthusiast, it was a delight to stay in an original London & North Western Railway building. Overall - apart from the weather - a great visit.

The views were spectacular and the beds were super comfy. The location was ideal, very close to Snowdon and all the local shops, bars and restaurants. There are a few things that could be addressed to make this property even better. There was a broken door handle in the living room, one of the heaters didnât work, dead moths on the windowsill, sunken floorboards in the bathroom and cobwebs on the ceiling of the main bedroom. The kitchen walls were quite stained, but nothing a lick of paint couldnât fix. As we were out most of the day, these things did not impact on our overall experience as we used the property as a base to explore. The property had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, with a fully equipped kitchen and towels and bedding provided. The shower could be a little temperamental but details were in the visitor book to explain how to fix this. The rooms were a great size and accommodated our family of 5 well. Overall, we had a great stay and this location was perfect for us.
