In the hotel, guests must journey down through an abandoned Victorian slate mine to reach their accommodation.
The hotel has four private twin-bed cabins and a romantic grotto with a double bed. A single night stay for two in a private cabin costs £350 while the price for two in the Grotto is £550. And if you’re a single guest, you will have to pay the price of two..
Guests can only book the hotel for a Saturday night through to Sunday morning and getting to your room is stressful.
Upon arrival to the Tanygrisiau Base near Blaenau Ffestiniog, guests will be met with their trip leader at 5pm.

The hotel has a cold temperature of 10 degrees Celsius and all guests must be awake at 8am on Sunday for a hot drink and breakfast before starting the ascent back up to ground level..<<CONTINUE READING>>
