Situated in the foothills of the Snowdonia Mountain Range, Llanrug is a small village with two pubs and a shop just three miles from the famous town of Llanberis. Popular amongst walkers, this tranquil settlement is set beneath the Snowdon Massif and flanked by the Llyn Padarn and Llyn Peris lakes. As one of the most popular mountain tourist centres in the Snowdonia National Park, Llanberis is an ideal spot for walkers and climbers to gather, particularly during the annual Snowdon marathon. For the less energetic holidaymaker, trains travel to the summit at regular intervals giving those unable to climb to the peak a chance to enjoy the incredible views. Back in the town itself there are a number of excellent places to eat and drink as well as a great choice of shops.
Reviews
"Lots of space for a large group to gather together in the kitchen or living room in comfort, whilst having plenty of areas to spread out rather than being on top of each other (9 adults, 4 young children including a baby). The kitchen is extremely well equipped - there was nothing we couldn't find, including a cafetiere. Small, enclosed, lawned garden - great for the dogs and for drying washing (washing line and pegs provided). The floors are beautiful, polished wood so care is needed with small children and dogs - we had several episodes of human and canine splits in the first couple of days. Thank you, Barbara, for your hospitality and providing the perfect venue for a special birthday x"
"We stayed here with friends in February and could find no fault. The proprietor, Barbara, went more than the extra mile to ensure our stay was beyond expectations despite the winter weather. We have stayed in many locations but this was superb value"
"Incredible place, friendly welcome and the kids loved the on site Piggery Pottery. Spacious, all bedrooms had on-suit bathrooms, highly recpmended"
"Upon arriving things looked fantastic but once we settled in we noticed a few issues. Living room 1. The setters in the lounge were so flat that the owner has stuffed thick mad boards underneath which makes the setters ridiculously uncomfortable. 2. The dirt under the setters was disgusting clearly never been moved. 3. The sky did not work and no instructions left. 4. There is a water stain in the living room next to the sky light i noticed this was reported in 2013 but has still not been resolved. Downstairs bedrooms 1. The bedding was so filthy we had to strip the beds on the first night. 2. The amount of dirt on the floors and under draws was disgusting. 3. The bathroom in the downstairs double was so badly moulded on the ceiling above the shower i dont know how the ceiling is still up. Bedrooms upstairs 1. The bathroom in the bedroom above the living room area are full of extreme mould. 2. The large bedroom the ensuite was filthy. 3. The two sofa beds were at breaking point and one actually collapsed. 4. The cot upstairs is unfit for any child out of the 11 women that went we are 10 are parents and would never put our children in it. Kitchen 1. Cupboards are literally falling off their hinges 2. Fridges were filthy 3. Draws were falling off their runners. 4. Glassware chipped excessively From pictures and past reviews you would think this house was rectified all looks well on the outside. Unfortunately we will not be returning and will be asking for our money back. We will also be reporting the disgusting and hazardous conditions of this house."
"Unfortunately the property was filthy! There were cobwebs and spiders attaching lamps to walls and ceilings in all rooms. It clearly hadn't been swept or hoovered as he floor was covered in dark grey dog hair. The upstairs bathroom adjoining the bedroom with sofa bed leaked into the lounge rendering it unusable.. this was reported on trip advisor in 2014 but was still doing this last week! The bathrooms and showers especially had hair and mould in them and the bedding was awful. The duvets didn't fit the duvet covers so they were continually becoming tangled. The property was advertised as having wifi which it did but this was shared with the adjoining pottery business meaning it was inaccessible. There was no information at all in the property regarding the local area, property details or comments/guest book from previous visitors. The house was also situated on an extrealmy busy and noisy road which is not stated in the details. We are very disappointed and feel for the money we paid not even basic cleanliness expectations were met."
"A group of 10 female friends had the barn for the weekend and we had a marvelous time. We were welcomed with welsh cakes an bara brith, tea coffee and fresh flowers! The barn is laid out well with plenty of places for wet coats, walking boots and a comfortable lounge for a large group. We really enjoyed our stay, thank you very much."
"Booked 14 family members for the wifes 60th. All three generations catered for. Barbera was friendly and made us all feel welcome. The kids loved the space and the Jacuzzi bath."
"Stayed here for my 60th birthday celebrations with my husband, children and grandchildren. We had a fantastic time - the barn was amazing, really spacious, comfortable and well equipped. Tea, coffee, milk, sugar, bara brith and welsh cakes were provided on arrival (a lovely touch) and, as soon as I met Barbara, the owner, I knew we had come to a very special place. Nothing was too much trouble and being able to go into Piggery Pottery for an evening, once it was closed to the public, was absolutely brilliant! All of us came away with something special we had made. We would definitely come back to stay here - a truly amazing holiday. Thank you Barbara! "
"14 of us congregated to celebrate my mum's 60th. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. The barn was perfect for us: tons of space, well equipped and a great location between Llanberis for Snowdon and Canaerfon for castles and cream teas :) However, what really made our stay was our host, Barbara. Thank you Barbara for being so kind, thoughtful and funny! Our kids adored you...and the rest of us thought you're pretty great too. Barbara runs the barn, farmhouse, livery and a wonderful pottery cafe 'Piggery Pottery'...as well as painting really beautiful and distinctive paintings in her 'spare time'! We had great fun throwing a pot on Barbara's potter's wheel, and also painting keepsakes which will be a lovely reminder of a perfect holiday. This was such an unexpected bonus when our Great British weather wasn't so great. Can't recommend this highly enough for families and big groups."
"We planned a surprise 70th birthday holiday for our parents. Barbara was ever so helpful with all our requests to ensure we had a successful break. The barn is beautiful. 5 good size bedrooms, all ensuite: room 1 is the downstairs double. room 2 has 2 sets of bunk beds and a nightlight. Room 3 is a twin. Room 4 a double (both upstairs via the staircase in the lounge). Room 5 is accessed via the staircase in the kitchen... the room is huge, with a jacuzzi bath in the ensuite and beautiful views. The workmanship is evident in the barn...quality oak staircases etc. We had an amazing week and would go back...great location to get to lots of places of interest. Food in the local pub is fab...huge portions!! We loved our holiday. "
"Spacious accommodation, generally furnished to a high standard, and boasting an extremely well equipped (huge) kitchen. Some very minor issues e.g. some missing remotes for bedroom TVs, slightly tired bedding, but picking holes really. Have rarely stayed in such a beautiful rental. Beds are memory foam and extremely comfortable, some traffic noise on weekday mornings but you quickly acclimatise. Great location, and only a couple of minutes walk to the pub! Piggery pottery next door is a delightful bonus on rainy days, and the owner has been very helpful, accommodating and easy to contact. Would definitely stay again - at off-peak rates this is an exceptional bargain. "
"I would recommend the property for large parties and families of mixed ages and abilities . Its very spacious and all rooms having an ensuite is a real bonus. The large dinning table was great for meal times too. The location is an excellent base for exploring using your own transport. Barbara was very hospitable and was there only when needed."
"I stayed in this beautiful house for 3 nights with 10 of my friends! The house was perfect for what we wanted. It is a perfect size, the rooms were very nice, and the overall experience was very good. The pottery place was very fun and cheap too! I would highly recommend this to anyone from families to a group of friends. Very very good weekend! "
"A very well appointed barn conversion, ideal for our extended family of 9 giving both space and comfort with a great separation of eating from relaxing and sleeping; stars were master bedroom and lounge. The bonuses were a pottery for the kids (and adults!) to test their skills and a walk to a lovely river across fields. The owner was friendly and very helpful immediately sorting out any little problems. Ideal location for easy access to mountains, beaches, castles and railways. Excellent value for money"
"We visited for a family weekend away where we celebrated my 30th birthday. We rented Ddol Helyg farm house also as we had a large party of 20 people ranging from age 6 to 83! We also took our dogs which the house was great for, with wooden heated floors throughout! This accommodation was modern and had all the facilities and everything we needed. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils, bowls, cups serving dishes and abled us to cook a roast dinner for all of the party. The lounge was very spacious and great that everyone could get a seat while relaxing round the wood burner and playing games with the children. The house catered for everything and having a ground floor double bedroom with en-suite was great for a relative who had a broken ankle and couldn't make the stairs! Overall this is an amazing modern house in a great location and I would definitely not hesitate to recommend it to families. The owner Barbara was very friendly and allowed us to stay in piggery pottery after closing where all the family(adults included) painted pots and other pottery! I hope we can visit again sometime. Please see my review on the Ddol Helyg Farm House if you have a large party."
"Had a really good time a large family unit from ages 2 to 57 large property well equipped nice to sit the family round a large table safe for young children and good for dogs owner was exceptionally good and let us use the pottery at a reasonable costs children through pots a really good experience the cottage is close to good places to visit and also good for walking and climbing set in gorgeous scenery !"
"found the property very good for a large party very good value for money.the hosts were very welcoming and dealt with any problems quickly.we were very impressed with the pottery,and can't thank Barbara enough for allowing full access after hours,so we could try and make things for presents etc.there were always plenty of excursions during the day to more than fill the time. all in all a very good property to rent,and would certainly recommend a visit if in north Wales."
"Everything about the house and area was excellent. The pottery on site was an added bonus. The owner very helpful. Lots to see and do in the surrounding areas especially for walkers."
"on arrival we thought the barn was fantastic it is beautiful the owners should be proud,but unfortunatley the cleanliness was not what it should be.the two cookers and microwave were not clean and we found dishes in the cupboard dirty which was a real shame to say the least.also on top of that there were two seperate occasions where 6 of us had to finish our shower in cold water because the hot had run out.it is a lovely place though and very spacious.. but to improve it the owners should check it over when the cleaners are done"
