Capel Salem

Capel Salem at Blaenau Ffestiniog is the perfect property for families and groups of friends looking for an idyllic retreat in Wales. Brand new for 2023, the chapel originally built in 1861 has been beautifully renovated to create a spacious open plan living area, with five bedrooms that can accommodate 10-12.

Enter through the former chapel doors into the open plan heart of the home, with spectacular high ceilings and contemporary style, it’s a real true gem. You can cook up a feast in the fully fitted kitchen and enjoy dining together for those special family occasions. With pool table, all modern amenities, dishwasher, washing machine and WiFi included.

Relax after a busy day and wind down in the ‘snug’ with large corner sofa and flatscreen smart TV. Two bathrooms are also on the ground floor, and separate utility area. Head upstairs to the bedrooms, with four spacious super king rooms, a king twin bedroom (to sleep up to 4 guests) and family bathroom.

Once a slate mining town, Blaenau Ffestiniog offers miles of mountain landscapes with old quarries, rivers, various lakes and walking/mountain biking routes to explore. Antur Stiniog is home to 14 different mountain bike trails – varying from suitable for beginners to expert. Bikes are available to hire in the town, and it’s well worth having a stroll around to visit a host of independent and welcoming cafes, shops and pubs.

With parking for two vehicles, it’s a fantastic home from home to stay and unwind with family and friends! A cot, highchair and stairgates are available at this home for younger guests. For further information and bookings please contact Finest Retreats.

Please be aware stag and hen parties are not permitted and will result in termination of your booking.

Weekend break with friends

Had a lovely break. The house was amazing and in a good location for plenty of walks. The only thing I would say is that the local town doesn’t really have much going on.

Great location, was perfect for us.

The space & room facilities were all great. The location was perfect for us. The cleaning could be looked in to. We found a couple of items from previous guests, some of the furniture & glass tables hadn’t been cleaned & cobwebs.

Amazing house for a girls weekend, everything you could need, so much space and everything felt very

The whole house was impeccably clean, comfy and although it was chilly when we arrived, the heating kicked in really fast. We loved that the dining table was laid out and looked really nice for dinner. I have nothing negative to add! Plenty of space for 3 small cars but parking wasn&#39t hard to find down the road for the 4th driver.

The chapel was extremely well done up to the highest standard

The chapel was extremely well done up to the highest standard. The weather wasn't good so it was lovely to have a beautiful place to spend time in. Plenty of room, a very large tv with all the apps. Plenty of games. The kitchen had every utensil, pot and pan you could ever need. We didn't eat out so cooking was easy. Couldn't fault it. We had a lovely new year break.

Beautiful house

Perfect for a large familyfor sharing with multiple familys as the three bathrooms and 5 bedrooms give alot of room to socialise aswell as private space. Plenty of parking although the drive has a steep drop off the front. Lots of things in the area to do and if you wanted to just hang at the house the pool table, board games and huge tv are a massive bonus! I will definitely be recommending the house to others and would happily be a returning visitor. Was not as clean as I was expecting as bedding was dirty so had to wash before sleeping and alot of cobwebs,spiders and dust in windows and on shelving units as well as a few broken bits like a toilet seat and a bathroom door lock but otherwise a beautiful house in a beautiful location.
