Hotel will make sure you have a VERY deep sleep – but you’ll have to be brave

THERE aren’t many hotels that can guarantee a deep sleep for guests – but this one situated 1,375ft underground is giving it a good go.

Burnt-out Brits can recharge their batteries in this below-surface retreat, if they can brave the two-hour hike to reach their rooms.

The Deep Sleep has disrupted the accommodation market with its promise to deliver an uninterrupted doze with a dose of adventure.

The former Victorian slate mine offers an unrivalled slumber as well as an extraordinary experience off-grid in North Wales.

The subterranean sanctuary sits below the mountains of Snowdonia and can only be accessed via a “steep and challenging” route.

But visitors say its definitely worth the trek to the cosy rooms that have been created in the abandoned mine.

It is made up of four luxury log cabins that boast twin beds as well as a “romantic” and “utterly silent” grotto room for couples who need a peaceful catnap.

With a double bed, a dining area and bathroom facilities, it makes the perfect place for a sentimental and soothing lovers’ getaway.

But you have to be quick – as Deep Sleep, which describes itself as a “remote-camp adventure experience”, is only open one night a week.

The unique hotel welcomes guests on Saturdays, with daredevils meeting their guides at 5pm before they begin their descent.

They are herded along a “steep” mountain route for around 45 minutes until they reach a cottage to “kit up” for the treacherous journey.

Visitors don a helmet, a harness and Wellington boots for the trip, while being armed with a light as they navigate the darkness.

Groups are forced to tackle rickety miners’ stairways and decaying bridges to reach the underground hideaway.

Hundreds of workers used to dig slate at the Cwmorthin quarry during the industrial revolution, before it was closed in the mid 20th century.

It was bought and reopened by Go Below Underground Adventures, who saw potential to design a unique haven for thrill-seekers.

Deep Sleep claim to offer the deepest overnight accommodation in the world – while providing a host of fun activities to enjoy too.

You can test your nerve and try your hand at zip-lining through caverns, climbing up a vertical shaft and scaling a waterfall.

But if that’s not enough excitement, you also can boat across an underground lake and even abseil your way down to the deepest point in the UK.

Guests are granted a full frontal experience of life below the surface, complete with complimentary “expedition-style” meals.

‘A VERY DEEP SLEEP’

And after a day of activities, you can then “retire to your bed for a very deep sleep,” according to the hotel.

Even though the temperature down below is only 10C, the cabins are still “quite cosy” thanks to the thick insulation that lines the walls.

There is also Wi-Fi for those who can’t switch off – but no mobile phone signal to minimise distractions that could disrupt your sleep.

Operations manager Mike Morris explained the team knew they were onto a winner with their innovative accommodation idea.

He said: “There’s two main reasons why it started. Firstly it was due to popular demand.

“Lots of the customers we took on our adventurous trips kept saying to us: ‘Wouldn’t it be great to sleep down here’. And we thought – yeah – why not.

“Secondly, our owner Miles wants to create firsts – like the world’s first underground freefall, the longest and deepest underground zip ride.

“It was another opportunity for him to show his creative side and create this space.”

Two guests can enjoy a night in one of the impressive cabins for £350, while the grotto will set you back £500.
