Lovely views of the lake and sunny barbecues at the end of a day on the balcony. The chalet is all on one level and the valley side location with tall leafy trees growing up from below creates a lovely 'treehouse' feel. French doors in the lounge open right out to let in the fresh air whilst inside is cosy with a wood burner effect electric fire. Relax after enjoying the Snowdonia National Park in this homely chalet at Glan Gwna within walking distance of the village of Caeathro, 2 mls from Caernarfon. The chalet offers a smart walk-in shower which makes it very convenient.

EMc (July 2022): 3.5 Stars "
The facilities were excellent however when we arrived it appeared that the property hadn't been cleaned for some time as it was full of cobwebs. My daughter counted 6 spiders in the bathroom. The batteries in the DVD remote control had not been checked for so long, the batteries had leaked and damaged the remote control. There were batteries in one of the kitchen drawers but even after we had cleaned the remote control and changed the batteries it still wasn't working. Also one of the wall lights in the double bedroom didn't work, you could only switch it off from the main wall switch. Really enjoyed our stay in the property facilities were great but just felt that it needed a better clean before we arrived." - We are witting a response from the Property Owner. We are not aware that the Visitor reported these issues when they were at the property - the Property Owner has to be given the opportunity to put issues like these to right.

Trip Advisor Review: "The park itself is very pretty and well kept, mostly wooded with gardens, a river, lake and weir. It is very dog friendly, and just the grounds themselves allow for a very pleasant walk each morning. This is a quieter type of park, ideal for relaxing and families."

Mr T (August 2020): 'Thank you for your lovely holiday park it was very nice to stay plenty to do love from all of us 2020'
Mr & Mrs P: "What a lovely chalet! Nice and modern, perfect for exploring all that North Wales has to offer. There are some lovely places to have lunch & dinner in Caernarfon. The Isle of Anglesey is just beautiful to visit. Betws- Y - Coed is perfect; picture postcard. We climbed Mount Snowdon, which was a challenge but well worth doing."
The W Family: "The Chalet is beautiful and modern, really enjoyed the view. Thanks for a lovely holiday. We will be back."

Mr N: "Very impressed with the site..."
