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, on 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 and The Snowdonia Marathon, held in October - a gruelling 26 mile course that starts and finishes in Llanberis, circumnavigating the Snowdon Massif. 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 and Plas Newydd.
Llanberis 1.5 miles. A superb, stone-built, detached holiday cottage, one of only three residential properties on the slopes of Mount Snowdon, offering truly spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, Lake Padarn and the delightful village of Llanberis. This Llanberis cottage provides luxury, contemporary accommodation, including a spacious open plan living area, luxury kitchen, and a sitting area with huge picture windows that literally ‘bring the outside in'. The bedrooms and bathrooms of this lovely Llanberis cottage are modern, light and airy, and the whole place is eco-friendly, with underfloor heating fuelled by a wood pellet boiler. Such fantastic accommodation, but it is the location which really makes this Llanberis cottage so unique. All the rooms, the garden and the decked area offer stunning mountain and lake views, and standing on the slopes of Snowdon itself, this Llanberis cottage is in the most marvellous location for climbers, walkers and mountain bikers as it is only a two hour walk from the summit; equally it is perfect for just relaxing and enjoying the unbelievable views from the picture windows and garden. At the end of an exciting day amidst the mountains of Snowdonia, return to this lovely Llanberis holiday cottage and wine, dine and relax, or pop into the licensed tea room up the road and enjoy a drink in one of the most wonderful locations in the UK.

The cottage location was superb, especially for Snowdon and Llanberis. The views were stunning. The property was fantastic and very spacious, even with eight of us staying. The bedding and linen were clean and fresh. The Owner was very welcoming and friendly.

Thank you for a fantastic holiday, the house was amazing with stunning views. The owners were very friendly and welcoming and could not have done more for us. I have no hesitation in recommending both the house and Sykes Cottages to my friends and family.
