The scenery is lovely and there are some great attractions: Snowdon Mountain Railway (book in advance), National Slate Museum (free) and Llanberis Lake Railway. However, this is a small village; we struggled to find somewhere to eat on a Monday and Tuesday evening in June and there were few vegetarian options. If we were returning to the area, we would perhaps stay in nearby Conwy or Carnaefen, which are larger with more going on, and do day trips to Llanberis.

Lovely little village and perfect vacation for anyone wanting to visit Snowdon. You can walk stringent up it or get a bus to Pen-y-Pass and go up via the routes there. Plenty of restaurant, cafes and bars to keep you entertained - our favourite was Becws Melyn which served gorgeous food and delicious drinks!

In my opinion, Llanberis is an amazing place to stay. The town has all you can need without being a snobby destination. It's the perfect gateway for walking snowdon or taking the tram to the top. I'm afraid I can't comment on local restaurants as I've only ever used the chip shop, but that is superb so I would assume other places are just as good. Would make an amazing stop off for those wanting to explore more of the beautiful national park.

If you like nature and walking, this is the place for you. Stunning and we particularly liked the walks around the Llanberis lake and up to the waterfall. There are some shops in the village but it is not that well equipped for proper food shopping. However, we arranged a food delivery from Asda which arrived promptly.

Llanberis is ideally located for the easiest walk or train up Snowdon, our main reason to stay here. Many other more difficult walking options are a short car or bus journey away, be warned the popular car parks fill up very early in the day and some like Pen-Y-Pas must be prebooked and are very expensive. A few miles further away there are an almost infinite list of other walking routes that will be much less crowded. Be warned that none of the routes up Snowdon are easy, you should be fit and prepared for cold wet and foggy weather, any time of the year. Llanberis has a few shops, pubs, cafes and restauraunts although when we stayed in late March many were closed, I guess the season starts after Easter.

Llanberis is the ideal location to start your trip up to Llanberis path to Snowdon. We were also able to walk to the Slate Museum & Dolbadarn Castle. If you want to get the train to the top of Snowdon, the station is located in a visible easy to reach location, with a car park about 1 minute walk away. Also, just off the high street we found a beautiful waterfall named Rhaeadr.
