The underground log cabin 1,375ft beneath the Welsh hills where people say they've had 'the best sleep of their lives'

A underground tourism attraction in Eryri in Gwynedd is offering the world’s deepest overnight accommodation. Guests can bed down in heated log cabin or kip in a "romantic grotto" created in a former slate mine tunnel 1,375ft below the surface, it is said to be deeper than London’s Shard building is tall.

The handful of visitors who have stayed there so far say they’ve had the "best sleeps of their lives", North Wales Live reports. But getting to the accommodation is an experience in itself - before they reach their off-grid campsite, guests must splash through water, navigate ancient miners’ stairs and clamber over decaying bridges.

An evening meal and breakfast is provided, and visitors typically relax over conversation and communal board games before retiring for the night. For the more adventurous, there may even be the chance to speed down the world’s longest subterranean zip wire.
