Capel Dinorwig, Dinorwig, Llanberis, Gwynedd, LL553ER

Super komfortable und sehr gut eingerichtete Ferienwohnung in ruhiger Lage oberhalb von Llanberis. Bestens geeignet für Gruppen von mehr als 10 Personen; auch für Kinder sehr gut ausgerichtet (Aufenthaltsraum mit Tischfußball, Tischtennisplatte, Playstation); in der Sauna lässt sich gut entspannen, vor allem nach langen Wanderungen; gut geeignet auch für diejenigen die "digitales Detox" suchen, denn die Internetverbindung ist zwar vorhanden, aber langsam. Grössere Einkäufe sollte man vorab in Bangor tätigen. Für den täglichen Bedarf kann man hinunter nach Llanberis fahren.

We have just spent a fantastic week here as a family group of 14 adults plus 2 children. The owners have thought of everything, down to the smallest detail. Kids toys, DVDs, games room and the high quality finish and amenities go to making this one of the finest of its kind we have stayed in over the last 4 years. Our group ranged in age from 5 months, with a 2 year old up to our oldest at 92. For everyone right through the age range, the development has given something for everyone's comfort and safety. Just a couple of steps from the rear off road car park to the main part of the old chapel, where the kitchen and main bedroom with walk in shower for our elder statesman! We all loved Chapel Dinorwig and recommend it highly for anyone looking for a good sized accommodation to explore the wonderful surrounding attractions in this part of North Wales.

The whole place is lovely, fantastic views and beautifully restored. The living accommodation is open plan, good kitchen area with all facilities including dishwasher, large modern oven, microwave, coffee maker, fridge freezer and vast selection of pots , pans utensils etc. All good quality, could not need more. There?s a large dining table, breakfast bar and comfortable settees for relaxing. Included flatscreen tv, DVD player and sound system. Downstairs bedrooms all with on suite, a games room, laundry, sauna. Living floor (level 1) one bedroom, en suite and a common use toilet. Upstairs in loft 2 more bedrooms and shared bathroom. Beds and linen clean, comfortable and nice. There are some slight negatives, the floors are all tiled they were swept but not mopped so children?s feet quickly dirty. The soundproofing between the floors and between the rooms not good, and with a lot of persons and children noise levels in the living area were also high due to hard surfaces and no soft furnishings and curtains. Outside terrace, bbq, car park all good. No garden for children to play in, there is a small play park up the road but a lot of animal excrement spoilt this a bit. Having said all of the above, it was a great place, we had a lovely time and enjoyed our stay.

We were a party of 16 who stayed for a long weekend. Plenty of space, fantastic views, everything you could think of provided -wood burner, games room, sauna. Very comfy rooms - good well equipped kitchen.

Will definitely be returning -highly recommended.

3/11/17 Just been here for 3 nights 14 people fitted in won problem perfect cannot find any faults

When we walked in all we could say was wow beautiful converted chapel modern but beautifully done the views were stunning. Plenty of room for family holiday or friends every bedroom was ensuite.The kitchen was well equipped with every thing you need.plenty of lovely walks and places to visit the old slate mines the nearest . For the adventurous visit Zip World where you can try Velocity the longest in Europe and fastest in the world or nearby Titan which I did and was the best thing I have ever done

Capel Dinorwig is light and airy chapel conversion which is situated over the lake from Llanberis. It started life as a Calvinist Methodist chapel (1825-1980) but was converted into a holiday home in 2013.

It really does provide a great base for walking and exploring the North Wales coast (you can walk Snowdon from here) whilst featuring many creature comforts.

LOCATION: Whilst it is set in some stunning countryside we all struggled to find it using the postcode in the satnav. Therefore I'd suggest that you use the directions provided instead.

ACCOMMODATION: The Middle floor (accessed at ground level from the rear of the property) provides open plan living which accommodates a lounge, kitchen, dining room and one en suite bedroom (large double). Since it is open plan then sound does travel and it can be a little noisy but you do get used to it.

The Top floor boasts 2 twin bedrooms with a shared bathroom in the eves.

The Lower floor accommodates 5 bedrooms (3 double & 2 twin with en suite - only one has a bath, the rest have showers), a play room (table tennis, table football and TV), a laundry and a sauna.

ACCESS: There doesn't appear to be any wheelchair access but those with mobility issues could probably be accommodated in the one bedroom on the middle floor. (3 steps).

FURNITURE: Dining table etc are made from old pews and look great. Bedroom furniture seems to be sourced from Ikea.

PARKING: Parking for 5 cars with ease.

WI-FI: It's OK but don't expect high speeds.

HEATING: We never did get to grips with the heating and so we turned it off and opneed the one upstairs window that we could access (top floor).

CHILDREN: This would be OK for children since there are 3 child guards that can be installed to keep them away from the stairs (from an adults prospective I'd suggest removing them, if there are no children, as they add an extra lip to the top of the stairs)

FOOD SHOPPING: There is a Cost Cutter in the next village, another Cost Cutter at the Texaco station on A4244, small stores in Llanberis or a Tesco Extra in Bangor.

LAUNDRY: Previous week's dirty sheets and towels are stored here for washing early in the following week. We weren't disturbed by the work.

SAUNA: In our experience there is room for 6 people, at any one time, in comfort

OTHER: There are some really nice touches; a piano, an OS map centred on the property, a supply of dish washer tablets, coffee, tea and Welsh cakes (to say welcome).

ATTACHED HOUSE: Is also a holiday let.

DO REMEMBER that most bedrooms are downstairs so don't be surprised if there is someone walking just outside your window when you open the curtains.

All in all it's a great place to spend a week. Enjoy.

Arrived Easter Saturday a big WOW when we went in what an amazing place.Bright plenty of space wonderful views from the large windows. outside lovely walks great when you have a very active springer spaniel .Everything in the kitchen you needed the 2 ovens a bonus.Games room and the sauna were well used walk in showers en suite also a bonus.The easter egg and the branch decorated for Easter was a lovely touch.Would recommend watching the d.v.d with a record of the start and finish of the renovation.Only one small complaint no mirrors in the bedrooms.All the family agreed after a lovely week would love to return.

A group of friends recently stayed here. What a gorgeous setting, beautifully renovated Chapel.

Sauna, games room, lounge had stunning views out over Snowdon. Plenty of room for 16 people. The bedrooms with their ensuite bathrooms had very comfy beds and soft bedding.

Location although very rural, was fine. It was easy to visit surrounding towns, plus some great walking areas too!

I'd love to stay here again some day.

There was just one niggle, it's a shame to even mention it, but the dishwasher was a nightmare, the bottom rack wouldn't slide into the wa

It is with great reluctance that we post a review on this holiday rental for fear of not being able to book this again because we know how popular it will become. This is really a very special place - clean, beautiful and lovely. We stayed just for a short time and we're all mortified to leave. It offers such an amazing space with plenty of lovely bedrooms all with really comfortable duvets and pillows and such comfortable beds too- the en suite shower rooms for each of the rooms downstairs are wonderful and we all had hot water in wet room style showers.
