Not sure about that far north Rich, but I'm a regular visitor to mid wales (Aberdovey, Tywyn etc) and that too is a beautiful part of Wales. Maybe worth a trip down ?

Rooms £65 or £75 for 2 sharing including breakfast.
I went on the Blaenau-ffestiniog railway from Porthmadog up to the Lletchwyd (Spelling?) Slate caverns, been a few times before but still very enjoyable.
I can certainly recomnd it if that is close enough to snowdon for you.

I'd recommend the Pen-Y-Gwrd Hotel (more commonly known as The P.Y.G.). It's right in the heart of Snowdonia with fantastic views of the Snowdon Horseshoe and ideal for tackling it too. Watch out for the signatures of some summitters on the ceiling of the Everest bar. Reasonable prices too.

Yeah, that's where I'll be going - either Blaenau or Porthmadog so I'll be using the railway too.
Thanks for all the suggestions!

If you plan to go on the Snowdon Mountain Railway then get to Llanberis early 'cos it books up quickly. You'll also need lots of dosh - £20 for adults, £16 for kids.

The slate museum in Llanberis is good and, if I remember correctly, free!

Good tip, I got there at 9am and they was already a long que, the slate museum is good that you mentioned and the Llanberis lake railway on the same site is worth a trip.
Thats my favourite part of the country.
The Bus trip from Blaenau ffestniog railway to the slate caverns is £2 return, I had a good laugh when some penny pinching foreigner was complaining that it should be free! He was making one hell of a song and dance, fortunately the driver ended up telling him to walk if he didn't want to pay the £2
