My boyfriend and I decided to go to Snowdon for a couple of days last weekend but we didn’t want to spend too much (big mistake). I came across this place on the internet and judging by the website www.thesnowdoninn.co.uk/index.html I thought this could be the place for us (another big mistake). “Cheap and Cheerful” more like cheap and nasty!! “What we offer is simple, clean and probably what you’d expect as a rufty tufty outdoorsy type. But you also get a warm welcome, a great location, fantastic view, and a great pub on tap.” What a joke?!! Simple yes, clean defiantly not!! Rufty tufty is putting it mildly – The door of the caravan was practically hanging off and the pub itself was like an old mans social club with sticky carpets, peeling paint and a really bad smell!!! The view they speak of is about a mile down the road - the actual view from the pub is of a main road and a grubby field. I had already paid a deposit of £40 which covered half the total cost of the weekend (4 nights). We arrived, looked at the caravan, popped into the pub, stared at each other in disbelief and made a quick exit! In fact you might even be able to see the skid marks on the driveway still!!! We went to Caernarfon library and managed to find a youth hotel in Bangor - Thank god!! I may have lost my £40 deposit but I would have paid and additional £100 not to stay in that whole!!! Later on I thought why would anyone stay there at all… then it dawned on me, what an easy way to make a bit of cash – Get people to pay a deposit, when they turn up and they’re gob smacked at the state of the place they leg it ASAP! £40 easily made. Great scam!! All I can say is PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don’t stay there! It’s an awful place and I wouldn’t have been surprised if we’d ended up being sacrificed in some weird local ritual – It was rather creepy! If you are looking in that area though I do recommend the Bangor Youth Hostel. Nice, friendly and good location!
