It’s probably true to say that there’s nowhere else quite like St Curig’s in North Wales. Ancient and modern stylishly combine in this beautiful home set within a church in the mountain village of Capel Curig.
Where else can you sleep beneath a carved stone pulpit, enjoy a hot tub under the stars or play table tennis beneath a fabulous 19th-century mosaic ceiling? And all with lovely views of Snowdonia's mountains from every window. This was the vision Alice had when she first came to the village twenty-five years ago and decided to convert the church into her home. The story of the conversion, a rollercoaster ride through planning regulations, builders and love affairs was described in Alice’s fortnightly Sunday Times column.
The church has two four-poster double en-suite bedrooms, two twin en-suite rooms, another twin and a quirky family room that sleeps four. We also have a couple of trundle beds for children that can go in any room and a sofa bed in the main living area for larger family groups. The kitchen is large and well equipped with a table that seats 16. The downstairs seating area has a grand piano, pool table, table tennis, three sofas and wood burner.
The property has a 3/4 acre walled garden and a hot tub that looks towards the beautiful Snowdon Horseshoe which is great after a long day in the mountains.
Guests can either be entirely self-catered and self-sufficient at the church or can opt for a bespoke package. If guests would like it's possible for them to have a fully catered stay with organised family activity packages or team-building exercises for work colleagues that make for the most memorable adrenaline-packed holidays.
We offer a fully cooked breakfast service or DIY continental drop-off baskets each morning. Packed lunches are available or delicious buffet-style lunches. If guests want a formal dinner then we have seven local chefs who can cater for any taste and even a sommelier for special occasions. We also have after-dinner speakers guaranteed to inspire corporate groups.
The church also arranges a host of indoor activities such as life drawing, yoga, meditation, jewelry making, photographic workshops, cocktail mixing, or massage and beauty treatments. We even have a party bus that can be hired to take guests out clubbing in Liverpool for the night! Other experiences to enjoy include live musicians for an intimate concert or arranging a film to be made about your trip or a photoshoot in our pop-up studio or outdoor in the beautiful Snowdonia scenery.
Located in Betws-Y-Coed, this vacation home is in a rural area and on a river. The area's natural beauty can be seen at Eryri National Park and Yr Wyddfa. Traveling with kids? Consider Conwy Valley Railway Museum and Zip World Fforest. Kayaking and scuba diving offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with hiking/biking trails and cave exploring nearby.
