Mr Knight
A great little place to stay, especially for a walker. Well positioned as a centre to explore from, particularly as it is away from the busier parts of the national park.

A very nice cottage to stay in for train lovers. Beautiful surroundings but don't be surprised if Snowdon stays hidden most of the time. Very quiet apart from when the train goes past so if you are looking for peaceful this is the place to go. The welcome tea and cake was also a lovely surprise and went down very well after the journey.
