Really good Snowdon Getaway
warm welcome garden wine
My husband and I booked a two-night break to climb Snowdon. We received a warm welcome on arrival and were shown to a beautiful room with a great view. We spent the first evening enjoying wine in the garden, then woke at 1 AM to head off for our climb. Our breakfast package was left in the fridge for us to collect and enjoy at the summit. We were then greeted again upon returning to the hotel, and Gareth was ready to hear about our adventure.
The roads to the hotel are very narrow in places. I found driving a bit difficult at times, especially when meeting other vehicles. The sat nav wasn't accurate in directing us to the destination and this caused a few problems during the journey
