“Really convenient for walking Snowdon and exploring surrounding area.”

Spacious apartment with all the necessary stuff for a short stay. No central heating but the electric heaters were very effective.

“ANOTHER LOVELY, RELAXING STAY IN THIS BEAUTIFUL APARTMENT.”

IDEAL LOCATION FOR TOURING AND EXPLORING.

Anja July 2024

“The property is a bit outdated and was only surface-cleaned.”

There was mold in the shower and e.g. the covers to box in pipes in the bathroom and window sills were dusty. One of the drawers in a bedroom were broken. There was no remote for the TV. Everything was good enough, but it wasn't amazing and I didn't feel like much effort was made. But the location is amazing, so the owners don't need to win visitors back for another stay,

“Pros -The location of the apartment is amazing.”

Within walking distance to Snowdon, the waterfall and the lake train. Parking was great right outside the apartment but also on the road outside so could leave the car even after we had checked out. The views out of the windows are amazing. The apartment is very spacious. Cons -Inside the property the stairway up had a damp smell. Every chest of drawers is broken, didn't affect us as we only stayed for two nights so didn't use them but if you were staying for longer and wanted to unpack I can imagine this would cause problems. The freezer froze all of our food so had to be thrown away. We needed to wash all cups and plates etc before using as they weren't clean The beds were extremely creaky and not very comfortable. The bedroom light wouldn't work and the smoke alarm was beeping however these were fixed by the host after our first night. Although my list of cons outweighs the pros, if you're looking for a large place to stay close to everything with good parking then it definitely meets that and with only a few adjustments it would be amazing. If I were visiting the area again I would stay again.

“Excellent stay in a very spacious apartment.”

Every room of generous size. Good food and drink at the pub / restaurant on the corner just a few yards away. Fridge appeared to be stuck on maximum freeze setting. Water pressure at the shower head was poor. For a railway enthusiast, it was a delight to stay in an original London & North Western Railway building. Overall - apart from the weather - a great visit.

“My only one disapointment was the lack of handrails on the stairway to the apartment.”

Ryan August 2023

“Overall our stay was pleasant.”

The views were spectacular and the beds were super comfy. The location was ideal, very close to Snowdon and all the local shops, bars and restaurants. There are a few things that could be addressed to make this property even better. There was a broken door handle in the living room, one of the heaters didn’t work, dead moths on the windowsill, sunken floorboards in the bathroom and cobwebs on the ceiling of the main bedroom. The kitchen walls were quite stained, but nothing a lick of paint couldn’t fix. As we were out most of the day, these things did not impact on our overall experience as we used the property as a base to explore. The property had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, with a fully equipped kitchen and towels and bedding provided. The shower could be a little temperamental but details were in the visitor book to explain how to fix this. The rooms were a great size and accommodated our family of 5 well. Overall, we had a great stay and this location was perfect for us.

Nathan July 2023

“Comfortable apartment with excellent location for sightseeing and shops.”

Unfortunately, the fridge was faulty - it froze all items placed in it eg milk, butter, salad...Another problem was that the bathroom sink was blocked and it took ages for it to drain.

- Nathan, July 2023
Katya February 2023

“Positives: great views especially from the very large lounge, spacious bedrooms with comfortable beds and plenty of cupboards.”

Negatives: did not expect to have no central heating … (stayed in February); the electric heaters helped but parts of the apartment remained cold. Comments about the bathroom from an earlier review still apply. Having received no check-in instructions, not hearing back from owner despite leaving text and voice messages on the day of arrival was not ideal

“Another lovely, relaxing stay at Station Apartment.”

Ideal base for exploring Snowdonia and lovely to come back to in the evening.

“Having just returned from a 2 night stay at Station Apartment in Llanberis, I felt I had to write to inform you of what we found on our arrival and during our stay.”

There were five of us staying in a property which frankly was not fit for purpose and at a substantial cost to ourselves. Our hearts sunk when we discovered a catalogue of issues and disappointments. It’s evident the property has undergone some renovation but this is of a poor standard. I’m surprised that Sykes Cottages actually has this on their books when compared to the other beautiful properties that I have stayed Cottages actually has this on their books when compared to the other beautiful properties that I have stayed. These include dirty skirting boards, cobwebs, punched hole in the bathroom door, damp smell throughout the property, unhygienic mouldy sealant around shower and lack of kitchen equipment for our party of five (four forks with additional spare recyclable fork to make five, four mugs, no matching glass sets or enough for five). We also experienced no hot water in the evening after just one shower (even after following the instructions to boost the temperature) which for our party was such a big disappointment as we all wished to shower after a hard days walking. We contacted the owner the following morning to try and resolve the problem. We contacted the owner at 8.01am And we had a reply at 8.53 saying he could come in an hour. Our check out was at 10am! Our evening of watching TV was also a further disappointment with terrible reception, making it almost impossible to watch.

“Station appartment is a great base to explore the hills around Llanberis, we did one shopping trip and then just walked from the town every day.”

- David, September 2021
Shieryl August 2021

“The property is just a walk away to Mount Snowdon Station and many tourist attractions in Llanberis.”

The scenery outside the windows was a bonus. The property is much bigger than it looks in the pictures. It was very tidy when we arrived and the kitchen is complete with cooking utensils. There are many restaurants and shops nearby. We would definitely stay here again if we are in the area.

- Shieryl, August 2021
Nur June 2021

“This is the perfect spot to explore snowdon within walking distance all the nice locations and owner was very helpful.”

Even in 30-40 mins drive couple of sea beaches to explore.

- Nur, June 2021
Roger May 2021

“Great location for Llanberis and hiking routes.”

Accommodation spacious and clean with large equipped kitchen. Would book again.

“Excellent accommodation.”

Clean, modern and well maintained. Good location. Owner very friendly and helpful

- Christopher, September 2020
Emily September 2020

“The location is perfect and convenient and the parking very handy.”

In the centre of town and walking distance to the Llanberis Path. Facilities were basic but more than adequate if you are climbing/walking the majority of the time you just need somewhere to make a cup of tea and rest. Nice touch of cards, board games , books etc. Communication via booking.com wasn’t great but I contacted Matthew direct and he responded immediately. Would definitely stay again ! Thanks

- Emily, September 2020
Ann October 2019

“The location of this apartment is fantastic - all of Llanberis is just a short walk away.”

The local shop for food was literally a stone's throw from the apartment. The apartment is really light, with windows on both sides, and great views all around. The kitchen is equipped for cooking with a good cooker and hob, and the shower is lovely, although a bit problematic to get going (however the guidebook provides a work around for this). The electric heating was a bit of a problem - only two convector heaters and two other fan heaters, although we were given a third fan heater. This gave us heating in two of the three bedrooms, the lounge and the kitchen, but the towel rail in the bathroom wasn't working at all during our stay, so this room was colder. Convector heaters in all rooms would have been quieter and more comfortable, although we do particularly feel the cold, so other guests may find the temperature easier. The beds, sofas and dining chairs were all comfortable. The wifi worked from time to time, but the mobile signal was good enough to get 4G when the wifi cut out. A large TV (for those who want one) with a good reception. The apartment is upstairs, but the stairs aren't steep. We'd recommend this flat, but if you feel the cold, bring a couple of extra layers for the evenings.

Billy August 2019

“Great location.”

Everything you need with parking included. Good communication with no issues at all.

- Billy, August 2019
Dean August 2019

“We often find it difficult to get suitable accommodation for a family of 5 so we were delighted with the location, value and welcome at Station Apartments.”

This was an ideal base to explore Snowdonia and had ample space. The bath and shower were well used after our adventures and the kitchen met all our needs. The landlord was on hand whenever needed. The weather ensured we made use of the games in the apartment and although it was the height of summer the little heater came in handy too. Highly recommended for a family like ours.

- Dean, August 2019
Jonathan May 2019

“We had a great time at the apartment.”

It is a really nice place and a fantastic location. Being able to check in late and check out early was great for us. The towel rail in the bathroom didn't work so it was a little chilly in there but everything else was great. We would like to stay again in the future.

- Jonathan, May 2019
Alexander April 2019

“Flat was cold - it doesn't have central heating, and the supplied electric heaters were insufficient to heat the whole flat.”

Also, the towel rail in the bathroom only got hot briefly (and only on Sunday morning). Bed was uncomfortable - the mattress isn't pocket sprung, so any movement woke the other up, and the bed linen was poly-cotton. Everything in the kitchen needed washing before use.

“Loved our stay.”

The surroundings are so beautiful and the house was spot on. Super clean, super comfy - a little home from home. The views out the windows are awesome! The owner was amazing. He went out of his way to help me out when I left something behind - legend.

“Amazing cottage.”

Location is spot on for all local trails and couldn’t be better for Snowdon it’s self. Cottage is extremely clean and comfortable. Lovely touches inc wine, milk and bread on arrival. I will definitely be staying here again!

“The apartment is brilliantly located, well equipped and comfortable.”

The owner was welcoming and very keen to ensure that we had everything we needed. I would heartily recommended this apartment and would like to return next year.

- Alan, June 2018
Philip May 2018

“You cant book through Sykes without a load of hassle as they give you lowest price first then almost treble it when it comes to booking Book, Use different booking agent However the apartment at Lanberris was a WOW from the moment we where shown around until day we left.”

It is so central for North Wales that you can get anywhere from Up Snowdonia to Port Merion to Llandudno and the Orm tramway. We will be back as long as we don't have to use Sykes to book through

- Philip, May 2018
Paula April 2018

“The location of this property is perfect for seeing the sights in Llanberis and for exploring the beautiful mountains of Snowdonia.”

- Paula, April 2018
Lisa April 2018

“Really delighted with the apartment, the location in the village was superb.”

Views out of every window of mountains. A great base and lots of parking,

- Lisa, April 2018
Anthony March 2018

“Even though this break was taken during the off season prior to Easter, the help and attention given us by the owners couldn't be bettered.”

This is a wonderful location for all the family. Water sports and the mountains will keep you entertained even in the snowy conditions that we experienced. Throw in the two narrow gauge railways, walks, slate museum, hydro electric experience, cycle tracks and plenty of places to eat out, means never a dull moment. This holiday home is right in the middle of all the above activities. You can park your car right outside the door and forget about till it its time to go home. (Once you have been you will want to come back and explore more of this activity packed corner of Wales)

- Anthony, March 2018
Joan November 2017

“Was very pleased with location, very pleased with facilities, nice comfortable beds, lots of space and well equipped.”

However we holidayed in November and felt that the heating supplied was highly inadequate. If it had been July we would have been very impressed with the apartment. Our only complaint is the heating arrangement as apart from being cold had a great holiday. We would highly recommend the apartment, but would strongly warn anyone of the heating arrangements in winter.

- Joan, November 2017
Debbie October 2017

“Lovely flat.”

V nice touch - 2 bunches of flowers, bottle of wine, bread and butter and bags of sweets there on arrival. Could do with some coat hooks by front door - other than that - no problems.

- Debbie, October 2017
David August 2017

“We had a great week in llanberis stopping at the Sation apartment, which the whole family loved.”

The accommodation was clean and very cosy and the mountain views from both sides apartment were stunning. Access to the apartment was great, being able to park straight outside the door. The owners were very friendly and available with them being at the gift shop below. I would definitely recommend stopping here.

- David, August 2017
Clare June 2017

“We have just come back from our break in Llanberis.”

As a group of friends we have explored the area and climbed Snowden. This was the perfect base with all amenities really close by and I mean really close. Matthew, Val and Anne were super nice and extremely welcoming. Nothing was to much trouble which really made our holiday even more special. The apartment was lovely and very well kitted out, beds comfy, big kitchen, nice sitting room. We even played monopoly which was there. I haven't done this in years and I could see they have put a lot of thought in to providing little extras. On the Friday we had friends who were staying in the area over for drinks over as the apartment was so homely. I would recommend this to family or friends alike looking for somewhere to stay and base themselves for exploring this part of the world.

Andrew June 2017

“Lovely property in an excellent location.”

Owners were very welcoming and helpful throughout our stay.

About the location

LLANBERIS

Caernarfon 7 miles; Bangor 10 miles; Betws-y-Coed 17 miles.

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 via 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, a triathlon known as the world's toughest, and The Snowdonia Marathon, held in October - a gruelling 26-mile course that starts and finishes in Llanberis, circumnavigating the Snowdon Massif. The area is also popular for mountain biking, open water swimming and stand up paddle boarding. 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, Plas Newydd and Bodnant Gardens.

This property offers the following short breaks:
