Only a short stroll from the Padarn Lake, this apartment puts Llanberis' castle ruins and restaurants on your doorstep. Ideal for couples seeking a Welsh escape, there's also room for two more guests on the sofa bed in a cosy living space. And the private garden is a bonus during the warmer months. Love history? Visit the National Slate Museum. Though the nearby steam train ride is a worthwhile day trip, you'll need a car to fully tour the mountain scenery of Snowdonia National Park.

Home truths:
*At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area. For those with reduced mobility, there's a ground floor bedroom and bathroom here. *This home has a private garden, but it's somewhat overlooked by the houses opposite. There's a chance you might see a neighbour or two through the window, so it doesn't feel completely private. *Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay. *If you're travelling for work, you won't find a dedicated desk here. However, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace.
