Positive: The location was amazing. There was a spar opposite and lots of local takeaways for us to order food and eat in the hotel after we had completed our hike. They had left some tea/coffee facilities and cakes for us which was a lovely touch.
Negative: One bedroom really did not smell very nice and we expected it to be from the people who stayed the night before. Thankfully we did not have a full 16 people with us so the room did not have to be used but it was quite disgusting and I do not feel my concerns have been properly addressed or followed up since I checked out.

Glyn Afon Llanberis :
Hi Sam & Team
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your house , the Spacious living area is ideal for a large group , the bedrooms were clean & fresh with comfortable beds. The kitchen is well stocked with cutlery , glassware, delph , saucepans , microwave etc and a top class cooker & oven .
It’s also situated in an excellent location right in the centre of Llanberis with easy access to the mountains on foot or by using the local Sherpa bus . ,this allowed us to leave our cars safely at the free parking behind the house . The house is also close to the lake for swimming ,access to shops & restaurants.
We all agreed we would definitely stay here again .
Kind regards Nuala
