Dol Peris

We were greeted by the owner, Lisa, and shown around. There are two lovely sitting rooms, one of which has plenty of space to eat at dining tables. There is a large, shared, very clean kitchen with lots of equipment, two ovens, two fridge-freezers, a dishwasher, etc. There is plenty of choice of tea and coffee. You get to use a plastic tub that you can fill with your food items during your stay; simply use a label provided. There is a well-stocked Spar next door, so finding ingredients for a main meal is easy. The room was very comfortable, with a sofa and great views. The bathroom and shower were small but well-presented, with a nice warm shower. Lovely thick towels were provided. If you plan to eat out, I would book in advance, as everywhere is usually full on Saturday night. If you get stuck, there is a sit-in fish and chip shop on the main street.

Kitchen facilities were good

Clean and well organised - plenty space Nice to be able to use the kitchen

The location is fantastic as it's right in the middle of Llanberis High Street and right next to the local SPAR. The kitchen is big and well-equipped. All of the rooms including the toilets and bathroom are kept very clean. The price I paid overall was amazing, especially compared to other nearby accommodations in Llanberis. Finally, the accommodation as a whole has a nice cosy feel to it.

My room (room 9) was abysmally small and gave me claustrophobia. It felt more like a closet than a bedroom and the window was tiny and impossible to see out of. The window and front door rattled and made a lot of noise whenever there was wind outside. On top of that, even though I came here during the summer in June, it was still pretty cold at night given its location within Snowdonia. I contacted management about this who informed me that they wouldn't turn the heating on as it would cost them too much. I then requested a mini electric heater to which they said they'd leave outside of my room later, but they never came to drop if off outside of my room meaning for the entire duration of my stay there, I was freezing cold in my room at night. Room 9 was supposedly one of the warmest rooms in the accommodation, at least that's what management told me, if only they knew how cold I was. Maybe if I'd have been given one of the other single bed rooms I'd have had a better experience. It wasn't just cold in my room either, it was cold around the entire accommodation, especially in the bathroom and toilets. Plus, since there isn't any kind of air con system, windows need to be left open inside of the toilets after use to air out the smell meaning that it got even colder in them. It's a shame as this was the first self-catered accommodation I've ever stayed at and I was genuinely looking forward to staying here. There were some good positives, but with the problems that I had, I most likely won't be coming back to stay here the next time I'm in Llanberis.
