It’s probably true to say that there’s nowhere else quite like St Curig’s in North Wales. Ancient and modern stylishly combine in this beautiful home set within a church in the mountain village of Capel Curig.

Where else can you sleep beneath a carved stone pulpit, enjoy a hot tub under the stars or play table tennis beneath a fabulous 19th-century mosaic ceiling? And all with lovely views of Snowdonia's mountains from every window. This was the vision Alice had when she first came to the village twenty-five years ago and decided to convert the church into her home. The story of the conversion, a rollercoaster ride through planning regulations, builders and love affairs was described in Alice’s fortnightly Sunday Times column.

The church has two four-poster double en-suite bedrooms, two twin en-suite rooms, another twin and a quirky family room that sleeps four. We also have a couple of trundle beds for children that can go in any room and a sofa bed in the main living area for larger family groups. The kitchen is large and well equipped with a table that seats 16. The downstairs seating area has a grand piano, pool table, table tennis, three sofas and wood burner.

The property has a 3/4 acre walled garden and a hot tub that looks towards the beautiful Snowdon Horseshoe which is great after a long day in the mountains.

Guests can either be entirely self-catered and self-sufficient at the church or can opt for a bespoke package. If guests would like it's possible for them to have a fully catered stay with organised family activity packages or team-building exercises for work colleagues that make for the most memorable adrenaline-packed holidays.

We offer a fully cooked breakfast service or DIY continental drop-off baskets each morning. Packed lunches are available or delicious buffet-style lunches. If guests want a formal dinner then we have seven local chefs who can cater for any taste and even a sommelier for special occasions. We also have after-dinner speakers guaranteed to inspire corporate groups.

The church also arranges a host of indoor activities such as life drawing, yoga, meditation, jewelry making, photographic workshops, cocktail mixing, or massage and beauty treatments. We even have a party bus that can be hired to take guests out clubbing in Liverpool for the night! Other experiences to enjoy include live musicians for an intimate concert or arranging a film to be made about your trip or a photoshoot in our pop-up studio or outdoor in the beautiful Snowdonia scenery.
