Spacious Converted Chapel in Snowdonia

Chapel Bethel was last used as a Chapel in 1982 and had been unused and unloved until we started the conversion which was completed early in 2006. It is a fantastic property set over three floors and offers spacious and flexible accommodation for a large family or number of families.

Trawsfynydd is located within the Snowdonia National Park and is within easy driving distance of Zip World, Snowdon, Porthmadog, Portmerion Italianate Village, Ffestiniog Railway, Llechwedd Slate Caverns and Harlech Castle. The fantastic beaches at Cardigan Bay and the Llyn Penisula are nearby. There is a good selection of shops within the village and pubs serving food close by.

On the ground floor are two bedrooms - one double and one twin. Also on the ground floor is a bathroom with separate bath and shower. The well appointed kitchen, dining area with seating for 12 and comfortable sitting area can also be found on the ground floor. The kitchen is fitted with a built in double electric oven and a 5 ring gas hob. There is a large fridge and separate chest freezer plus plenty of pots, pans, cutlery and crockery.

On the mezzanine floor there is a second sitting area with wood burner and TV with freeview and a DVD player. There is also a bedroom with bunk beds and a cloakroom.

On the top floor there are three further bedrooms - one double with en-suite shower room, one single and a family room with one double bed and 2 single beds. There is also a bathroom on this floor with separate bath and shower.

Due to the nature of the building, there are secondary means of escape from the first floor. Only able bodied people can be accommodated in the mezzanine and 1st floor bedrooms.

Great family stay
We were a bit shocked when we arrived that the property was situated on a narrow road with houses on either side and opposite. Soon got used to the parking as there is room for three cars on the drive. Location is very picturesque and the kids loved it down by the river in the village. The bedrooms and living spaces were fantastic. Only negative was the unpleasant drain smell which we could not get rid of, even after the host suggested running plenty of water down the traps.

Adventure week in north Wales
We had a really great week here. The property is huge with multiple areas to relax. The kitchen is very well stocked. The location is fantastic to reach all major north Wales tourist sites. Some minor negative points. No WIFI or microwave and the TV should be upgraded to a larger one.

Lovely family holiday
Such a beautiful and spacious home, we felt it had all we needed and much more, lots of space for our 4 families to get togethe. Well set out and excellent space for everyone to be able to eat, cook and play together with everything that we needed. The kids loved the upstairs seating area as the was so much space for them to play. The adults loved we could keep an eye on them while we had space to cook and enjoy the safe feeling they were close by. The bedroom very spacious and nicely laid out and lovely and clean. The area is lovely loads to visit only short car ride away. The host is very helpful snd friendly.

A really lovely place to stay
We all enjoyed our stay in this beautiful house. It worked really well for grandchildren from two 3 yos to 20, safe for the little ones to go from floor to floor, and we all liked the way we could be in different spaces but we could hear eachother which was very companionable. We welcomed the good number of bathrooms and loos. Wonderful kitchen / dining area which encouraged all our gang to join in cooking and clearing, and great for us all to sit round the fabulous table. Our littlest one had been concerned about a freezer bit enough for his ice-cream reqirements, it was ( phew) and kindly supplied with a generous stock by Kath. Thnaks Caroline and family

Ideally located
We enjoyed our stay here, it’s ideally located in a village but with a shop nearby. We were three families and the layout of the property was ideal for this. We visited Snowdon and the deep mine which are both about a 20 minute drive away

Beautiful converted chapel, we will return!
This has been a perfect venue for our family gathering. It is extremely spacious and there are plenty of bathrooms. We really enjoyed sitting round the table as a family and there was loads of space and room for everyone. We enjoyed eating outside at the slate table but would bring a cushion out next time!! Thanks for having us and we would like to return xx perfect location to go up and down the coast! Xx

The accomodation was lovely but it needs more cleaning and maintenance as there was a few oroblems
Lovely but we would not go back until it had a thorough clean and sort out the maintenance problems.I messaged Kath about a few problems which she promptly replied but one of the problems was a broken toilet seat on our first day and the smell in the same bathroom but it was never repaired or sorted .

Pictures over promise, TLC required
First impressions are good, large spacious property. However the closer you look the more disappointing you become. Making your own beds after a long journey isn't ideal. A bit of a local information pack would be helpful, amenities etc. Had to clean the entire cutlery draw on arrival, also found dirty cups in cupboard. Some new plates and bowls would be a fairly inexpensive improvement. Overall the cleanliness was disappointing. Two of the double mattresses are lumpy and have a dip to the middle. The top floor bathroom w/c pan has a brown stain, due to the constant running of water overflowing from the cistern. This isn't an overnight thing. It must of been running for days if not weeks. Sadly this reflects poor maintenance and the lack of reinvestment.

This was perfect for our family of 11 across 3 generations, especially being able to dine all art one table. Location was handy for our cycling and walking outings and not far from the wonderful beach at Harlech. We all had a lovely time, thank you.

lovely place
great house lovely area. kitchen easy to cook and serve up food for large numbers. I hadn't read the instructions so take towels ( if not Tesco in Portmadog has some ) . Bit unusual to make up own beds but not a problem. we were blessed with great weather so we're outside lots and played cards in the evenings but might be good to update television possibly. no WiFi a blessing for me but again unusual now in holiday homes. all in all we had a great few days and the countryside is stunning. everyone was very friendly in the village.

Plenty of space for all to eat around the table. 3 areas where 6/7 can sit, with all being able to sit together on the first floor. Great for a trip not in the summer, managed an Easter egg hunt inside the house for the three girls. Very quirky layout with plenty of bathrooms.

great find for relaxing weekend
very spacious and accommodating property that made for a great base for a sociable weekend. Great location with easy walk from front door into countryside. Convenient local pub, though can’t say what it was like as the chapel was too comfy to leave, with a great kitchen for cooking in.
