The Heights Bunkhouse

This building situated in the middle(ish) of Llanberis high street. Arrived a little earlier than check in time but perfectly adequate parking to leave the car and go have a wander. The website for the bunkhouse doesn’t scream about the fact there’s a beautiful lake just behind them. I went for a swim but could see there was kayak boat hire etc. Then there’s the pub garden out the front of the bunkhouse. Beautiful. All socially distanced, a very pleasant space in such a lush part of the country. Had an evening meal here on my 2nd night, was nice. Filled me up after a days hike. Staff extremely accommodating, helpful & kind. They even put love island on for me & it’s the little touches that make a visit so thank you. Will say that maybe keep the angry chef in the kitchen ;-) staff seemed tense around him. I suppose there’s a fine line between a waiter that doesn’t listen and a chef wanting to keep communication open because he did make me jump telling all the staff off because someone had ordered a burger which he stated wasn’t available. I’m an anxious guy and I nearly ordered the exact burger he wasn’t happy about being ordered hahaha... The bedroom was on the top floor, typical. But served its purpose for what it was needed which was to get my head down & wash etc. Shower hot, towel rail needs replacing. Would have been nice to have a chair or something to put clothes or bits n bobs on. The decor inside the bedroom is tired but the building itself the location and everything else outweighs that so it doesn’t matter. Is the housekeeping team men? Who is checking what housekeeping are completing because the standard of cleanliness was not particularly high and feel a female doing final checks may help with them final touches. Controversial but my opnion & if it is already a woman then housekeeping as whole needs extra training. I mean this lightheartedly & with respect. If it was “four in bed”, cleanliness would have got a three. My only other piece of feedback is potentially getting a security lock/code entrance for the entrance to the dorms? Seems in the daytime anyone could walk up there. I absolutely loved my stay, I highly recommend. Beautiful location, loads to do, polite friendly staff excellent value for money &I thank you for having me.
