From the manager: So glad that you enjoyed your stay and found the accommodation cosy, even in the unseasonable weather.

Liked: We had an amazing stay at Pen Y Banc. Right in the middle of Clocaenog Forest, it couldn't be more peaceful. Stunning views around the entire valley, it was truly breathtaking. The caravan has everything you could possibly need and the bed was extremely large and comfortable. Owners Ruth and Chris are absolutely lovely, and we can't forget pilot the adorable black lab. They brought us fresh produce from their amazing garden as well as baking us a lovely fresh loaf with home made jams upon our arrival. Perfect location if you want to explore Snowdonia national park or the North Wales coast. Can't say enough good things about this very special place. We will definitely be back. Thanks so much and good luck Ruth and Chris. You have something very special.

From the manager: Thank you for being such lovely friendly guests, especially in the midst of our little emergency. We hope to see you again sometime and I'm pretty sure Pilot does too!

Liked: Beautiful location very isolated and peaceful. Friendly and helpful hosts. Caravan very well restored, bed excellent large with dual mattress’s. Kitchen well appointed for self catering. Outside awning area with outstanding views, lots of walking available from the property, a bit steep to get down to the river but the site is new and still a work in progress. Very friendly but hungry dog Pilot, which was very amusing. Access is via a narrow road and forest track but not a problem. Home made ginger cake and jams were excellent and the fresh strawberry gift was great. Would highly recommend and well worth another visit.

From the manager: So glad you enjoyed your stay.

Liked: My husband and I were looking for a 7 night, peaceful retreat, after a couple of difficult years, with the Pandemic and some serious health issues, and boy, did we find that! Wow, what an amazing location! Pen Y Banc, is set within the Clocaenog Forest, not far from the beautiful Snowdonia National Park. The caravan, is fully equipped and spotlessly clean, enabling us to cook our own meals, which meant we could stay on site to eat if we wished, while saving money on takeaways and meals out. We go on holiday, a couple of times a year and have always struggled with lumpy, uncomfortable beds. However, the Queensize bed in the caravan, is the most comfortable bed, of all the places we have stayed over the years!!! The caravan, is set on a hill, with beautiful views, and surrounded by meadows. Such a lovely place to wake up to, with a coffee in hand, listening to the crickets and birds chirping, watching Buzzards and Red Kites, circling above. We were also excited to see, for the first time, a wild Common green Lizard, basking in the sunshine! Ruth and Chris were very friendly and helpful, while at the same time allowing us our privacy. Oh, and the scrummy homemade Blackberry wine and Ginger Cake were most welcome! Thank you Ruth and Chris, for giving us the opportunity, to stay in such an incredible and tranquil environment! We will be back next year! Alicia & Derek

Disliked: Not Applicable!
