GLAMPING style accommodation located 1,375 feet under the mighty Eryri (Snowdonia) Mountains that takes an hour to reach has opened to guests.
Deep Sleep is the latest creation by Go Below’s founder, Miles Moulding. It is located deep within a chamber of the abandoned Cwmorthin slate mine.
There are four private twin-bed cabins and a "romantic grotto" with a double bed. The total price for two people sharing a Grotto is £550.
A spokesperson for Go Below said: "The trip to reach it is an adventure in itself, journeying for over an hour through tunnels and shafts hewn by slate miners.
"One of Go Below’s experienced and qualified trip leaders will guide guests through the mine, showing them some fascinating sights and giving an insight into the history of the mine and the lives of the men and boys who worked there.
"After descending to the Deep Sleep base, guests will have the opportunity to take in the atmosphere and enjoy an evening meal before retiring for the deepest night’s sleep in the world."
Trip leaders will remain at the camp overnight and guide guests back to the surface in the morning.
