Lodge Dinorwig 4 stars

Llanberis

The bedroom offers 14 bunk-style beds with individual lighting and curtains for privacy. Rooms include storage space, and a shared bathroom with a shower.

A cooked breakfast is served each morning. Packed lunches and evening meals can also be provided if ordered in advance. Lodge Dinorwig offers lockers, bed linen is included. Great communication from a friendly and responsive host. Sonni went out of her way to accomodate my (often last minute) changes of plans because of foul weather. The food was tasty, good portions and I just loved the barista coffee in the morning. The bunks are furnished with curtains, a small ledge to put your phone etc. An electric outlet was also present in the bunk. Very practical! The bathroom and showers were very clean and spacious. The common living and dining room is cosy, roomy and a nice place to meet other guests. Thank you so much for a very nice stay Sonni! I'll be back ;)
