Ripon House is located in Llanberis which is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty within the Snowdonia National Park. The area is steeped in history and its rugged landscape provides a beautiful backdrop for enjoying the wide variety of outdoor activities that this area has to offer.
There are plenty of things to do and see, great places to eat, excellent climbing and walking opportunities along with a whole host of other activities to enjoy such as pony trekking, water sports, cycling, diving and for those who feel adventurous, paragliding. Walking and climbing have always been favourite past times for the many people that visit this area, with one of the most popular footpaths up Mount Snowdon starting in the village.
With a medieval castle, two lakes surrounded by mountains, the National Slate Museum, the famous Snowdon Railway and a country park, there is plenty to do and see at any time of the year in this beautiful interesting area.
Further afield....
Llanberis village lies at the foot of the Llanberis mountain pass, an area which is rich in history and natural beauty. The pass itself hosts some of the most famous rock climbs in history, and also provides great access for hill walking with some of the most impressive mountains in Britain. On one side of the pass, there is the Glyderau mountain range including the scrambling thrills of Mt. Tryfan and on the other, the Snowdon mountain range.
For those who are looking for relaxation and tranquility, then twenty minutes north of Llanberis lies the Isle of Anglesey and the Menai Strait which host a number of unspoilt beautiful beaches and coastal footpaths. Llandudno, Great Ormes Head, Colwyn Bay and Conwy are also within easy reach and only forty minutes away.
Further south lies a number of other lovely places to visit including the quaint villages of Beddgelert and Betws-y-Coed with their neighbouring forests and rivers. The City of Bangor, and Caernarfon with its impressive castle are the two main urban centres in North Wales and provide good shopping opportunities and also a variety of bars and restaurants.
Public transport is excellent in North Wales and Snowdonia all year round, so whether you come by car, train or bus, the exceptional attractions of this area are accessible to all.

Reviews and Testimonials for Ripon House
We were absolutely delighted with the cottage and how beautifully it is furnished and equipped, we could ask for nothing. There was nothing that I would add and I would unreservedly recommend it to anyone, I have already given my boss the website address as he is a very keen climber and loves the area. Thank you again for a lovely stay in a home from home cottage.

House SO well equipped for children! Ticked “sufficient” only because more info on house’s facilities on website would have done the house more justice, if I was just searching for a cottage online and looking for a family friendly one (rather than being offered one for free!) Having an actual Graco travelcot (rather than some out-of-date horrid crib thing), a great high chair (rather than yucky restaurant style thing your kid falls out of constantly), a baby gate, a bedside rail thingy, a microwave for warming baby food, a fenced patio where children can play safely, the park across the road, the park nearby at Padarn Country Park, all the videos and DVDs (although we didn’t use any! Too much else to do—even though it rained the last 3 days!), an amazing toy cupboard with crafty bits and lego and all sorts of exciting things, and best of all, the CASTLE!!!

Any other comments…Beryl, you left nothing to chance and were brilliant at providing information prior to our arrival. I’d like to say it was one of the best breaks we’ve had and felt very comfortable in Ripon House. In fact, to say that it has all the comforts of home, is a massive understatement. Go raibh míle maith agat!
