About this property

Llanberis 3 miles. This stunning, converted, architect-designed chapel provides superb quality accommodation above Llyn Padarn, north of Llanberis and on the edge of the Snowdonia National Park. Surrounded by beautiful countryside on the foothills of Elidir Fawr, Capel Dinorwig has been renovated to a high specification, and opens into a fantastic, social living area on the first floor. This provides very spacious, light and airy, high quality accommodation enjoying stunning views, with a superb vaulted roof with exposed beams and a feature, central column chimney breast with a double-sided woodburner to benefit both the dining area and the spacious sitting room with a welcoming warmth. The kitchen with breakfast counter is the ideal place for all to gather around whilst a tasty home-cooked meal for the group is prepared. The full-height windows of the open plan living area offer glorious uninterrupted views of Snowdon and the surrounding mountains. The glass balcony of the first floor overlooks the atrium and entrance hall below. All the ground floor and first floor bedrooms offer en-suite facilities and the two mezzanine floor bedrooms benefit from the use of a shared family bathroom and internal balcony overlooking the living space. The property is perfect for large families or groups, with a spacious games room providing a media centre with large screen TV, Bluetooth speakers, Xbox, table football and ¾ size table tennis, as well as a sauna room with changing facility. Upstairs, the main living area features a large screen TV with surround-sound home cinema system.

This building incorporates many green energy features such as underfloor heating, air-source heat pumps, rainwater harvesting facilities and solar panels. The incorporation of extensive insulation with heat-recovery ventilation ensures a cosy environment with modern comfort levels in an historic building. With doorstep walks to unspoilt Welsh countryside, access to Snowdon and its surrounding peaks, the nearby zipwire at Bethesda and with easy access to all the most popular mountain bike trails in Snowdonia, you will need to book early to ensure this impressive property is still available for your group. Note: This property can be booked with Refs. 1026 and 1027, together they sleep 29.

Llanberis sits at the foot of Mount Snowdon and is renowned as a base from which walkers, climbers, mountain-bikers and even rail-passengers can explore the wonder of this ancient mountain. Llanberis has grown since Victorian times, in conjunction with one of the two lakes that sandwich it, Llyn Padarn. Llanberis was a slate mining town and quarried slate from the mountain across the lake itself. Now, the redundant slate quarries merge with the surrounding lakes and forests to provide something of interest for all, whatever the weather. The 800-acre Padarn Country Park is the perfect place to explore what the countryside and the local heritage have to offer, including two sites of Special Scientific Interest, a local nature reserve and a wide range of water-sports. If that isn't enough for you, you can always ascend the heights by taking the Snowdon Mountain Railway, see the Ceunant Mawr Waterfall and visit First Hydro's Electric Mountain.

    De ruimte die we hadden was geweldig. Zelfs met een groep van 12 loop je mekaar niet in de weg. Het was heerlijk rustig gelegen en in de buurt hebben we overal geweldige wandelingen gemaakt. Bedankt ook, Voor de wandelgids! Groetjes, Koen, Katty en co

    Maybe provide more scatter cushions to save moving them about from dining seats to sofas. Bus service was great, no need to move cars all week. Not a lot of storage space in some rooms, not many mirrors. A appeared a bit mean to only provide one loo roll per toilet, no extras!
