"Hirfron is clean, comfortable and in an ideal location to explore North Wales."
There was a lovely welcome pack left for us on arrival and Mary checked in on us and asked if everything was OK, and if we needed anything , to just let her know as she was only a couple of minutes away. Clear instructions and information for the house and the surrounding area was covered. Even though we did not have the best of weather, we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hirfron and, if revisiting North Wales, would definitely stay again. Thank you Mary, for letting us stay in this super house.

"Lovely homely property in an excellent location."
The host Mary was so warm and welcoming. She very kindly checked in with us to make sure everything was OK and was so thoughtful to leave us bread,milk etc upon arrival. The house was well clean and cosy. There is everything you could possibly need for a week away, clearly a lot of thought has gone into the little touches. We plan to stay again.

"What a lovely, comfortable ‘home from home’ property."
We thoroughly enjoyed a week staying at Hirfron. Mary supplied us with a fantastic welcome basket and the house is fully stocked with cleaning products and essential cooking condiments, which was most appreciated. The house is perfectly placed in Llanberis which itself is also perfectly placed in Snowdonia.

"What an amazing host and place to stay."
The property has everything you need for a comfortable vacation. On arrival there was a large welcome basket, which was a lovely treat. Being able to have a cuppa and slice of excellent Barra Brith on arrival was a fabulous start to our week. The cottage is very central, being able to go up Snowdon and other lovely walks without taking the car. We will definitely be back, thank you Mary

"The house is beautiful, spacious and has everything you would possibly need for a week-long stay."
It is well located within Llanberis, right in the heart of the village with easy access to the lake, shops and fells. The host, Mary was amazingly helpful and made sure we were all settled in OK even leaving a welcome box of food items. I can't recommend Hirfon highly enough, it is perfect, 10/10

"Property was in a great spot in the centre of Llanberis - everything was accessible on foot (shops, restuarant, Llyn Padarn, Mountain Railway etc) so it was nice to park the car and leave it there!"
Would have been useful to have the house name on the rear of the property as confirmation that we were parking in the right spot. Easy to access the property from rear parking space. Keysafe system and access was all straightforward and as per instructions. House had plenty of space for 5 of us (2 adults, three children). Note that the single room has a narrower bed (ie not a standard single.) Goodies left to welcome us were appreciated (kids were very happy!) - thanks for those. Tea, coffee, sugar, salt, peppper are all provided. There was butter and milk in fridge and bread provided too. Bedrooms - beds were comfortable, note that there are many feather pillows and this unfortunately aggravated my allergies, leaving me wheezing for our stay. The double bed has a King size duvet which meant it was very heavy due to hanging so far down the sides. Cleaning was mainly good. Heating was good, would be needed less if some of the draughty holes were filled in though! Big cold gusts coming in down the side of the cooker and through cupboards in middle living room - lots of dust blown through too so games and books were all covered in it - these need cleaning up. Lovely friendly owner popped in to check we were ok. Overall, a lovely place to say, and very well placed if you're running Snowdonia Marathon!

"The house was very well equipped and warm."
The location is terrific for walking in the National Park and Llanberis is relatively unspoiled compared to other more 'touristy' places. The welcome pack was really lovely and we both put on weight eating the delicious Bara Brith! The owners were really attentive in a helpful way ensuring we were warm enough etc. Will definitely return to this one, very good value indeed.

"Hirfron is a lovely place to stay if you want to explore Snowdonia."

"A well equipped and well organised cottage perfectly situated in the center of town and with the added bonus of off street parking."
The cottage is comfortable and cosy and Mary and Ian are the perfect hosts. Lovely Mary rang us a couple of days before and then met us on arrival to show us how things worked.

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.
