A blog mostly written by Lynsey and sometimes read by Josh (who is usually in the mountains) that aims to document our life in rural North Wales, the homebase for Crashpad Lodges. Here you will find everything from how we manage and run our off-grid accommodation business, our journey to become sustainable, crafting new interior items to weathering the weather!
Each article is around 7 minutes long, just enough time for a panad and a read

Crashpad Lodge's gastronomic 10-mile tour
One of the many joys of living in North Wales is a very unexpected one, Food. I’ve always known Welsh lamb to be the best in the world but what I wasn’t expecting is actually how good the restaurants, cafes and takeaways would be. This foodie blog entry came about after a weekend of eating the most incredible food after a family visit to North Wales and so it is my pleasure to share below Crashpad’s favourite eating spots for your next visit to North Wales.
Mafon Cafe
Within walking distance of Crashpad in the village of Llanberis the best coffee for miles around is to be found at Mafon ran by vegan cake and food expert Leah. Every week Leah and her team experiment with different recipes and occasionally hold food nights from around the world, most recently Mexico which was booked out. Follow the Mafon Instagram to find out what is cooking that day and get yourself down their early before it sells out.
