Guests have repeatedly mentioned the cleanliness of the property, describing it as immaculate and very clean, indicating a high standard of hygiene and upkeep.
The property's location is frequently cited as excellent, with its proximity to Llanberis centre, Snowdon, and other attractions, making it an ideal base for exploring.
Comfort is a strong point, with guests finding the beds very comfortable and the living areas well thought out. However, a minor note on mattress preference suggests a slight deduction.

About this property
Nestled in a fantastic location in the Snowdonia National Park in Llanberis, Gwynedd is this splendid four-bedroom, detached abode Ty Bains. Welcoming eight guests and boasting a large open-plan interior, a woodburning stove and an impressive rear patio with furniture and a fire pit, Ty Bains is the perfect property for a family escape to North Wales. Make yourself at home in your new dwelling, kicking back on the plush sofas as you click on the Smart TV and throw another log on the woodburning stove; allow the designated chef to become accustomed with the fully-equipped kitchen and utility as they whip up a tasty feast for the whole family ready to be enjoyed at the dining table for eight over a bottle of bubbly. If you prefer to dine alfresco, why not step out onto your very own private patio and savour family mealtimes amongst the stunning surroundings of the Snowdonia National Park as the sun sets in the distance. When the sky grows dark, retreat to a family bathroom to freshen up with a long soak or revitalising shower before taking refuge in one of four stunningly-presented bedrooms including two doubles, a king-size master bedroom with TV and en-suite shower room and a king-size with TV. Begin your day with a morning coffee out on the front patio before taking a relaxing stroll around Llyn Padarn which resides merely paces away from the property; head to Llanberis where you can find Dolbadarn Castle, the National Slate Museum and Llanberis Lake Railway, all guaranteed to provide a fun-filled day for all the family. If you prefer to while the days away with more challenging pursuits, why not embark on a hike up Yr Wyddfa or Glyder Fawr, both offering impressive vistas across the beautiful landscape. Spend the day in Caernarfon touring the grounds of the 13th-century Caernarfon Castle, amble along Menai Bridge, try your hand at a range of watersports on the Menai Strait or sample a range of pubs, restaurants, bars and cafes found in the bustling city of Bangor. For a truly memorable escape with your loved ones in North Wales, book a stay at Ty Bains.
Llanberis, one of the most well-known mountain tourist destinations in the Snowdonia National Park, is dominated by the magnificence of the Snowdon Massif and is flanked by two lakes, Llyn Padarn and Llyn Peris. Due to its location as the starting point for the ascent of Snowdon, the highest mountain in England and Wales, Llanberis is actually somewhat of a hotspot for walkers and climbers. There are numerous paths to the top that can be taken on foot or by train through the Snowdon Mountain Railway. The world's toughest triathlon, the quick Snowdon Race to the Summit, which takes place every year in July, and the gruelling 26-mile Snowdonia Marathon, which takes place in October and round the Snowdon Massif, both draw large crowds to the region each year. Mountain biking, open-water swimming, and stand-up paddle boarding are other popular activities in the region. There are several outstanding restaurants and bars in Llanberis, as well as a wide variety of stores. Caernarfon, with its spectacular castle and town walls, is only 7 miles from Llanberis on the shore. National Trust estates at Penrhyn, Plas Newydd, and Bodnant Gardens are all nearby.

Cake and milk on arrival which was a nice touch.

The open plan ground floor is really good particularly for large groups. Our only observation was wardrobe/ chest of drawer storage was very limited for 8 adults (just one in one bedroom) and most of us lived out of our suitcases, not satisfactory and not aligned with an otherwise well appointed property.

Owners have thought of everything. Beautiful furnishings and extremely clean. My only niggle was the mattresses which where on the soft side but that is a personal preference and not a reflection on the property.
