  • Luxury ensuite and heated pods in Snowdonia National Park
  • A mile from the closest beach at Cardigan Bay
  • Two minutes' walk from Llanbedr village
Snowdonia National Park and spectacular Cardigan Bay… two utterly fab spots for a Welsh holiday. Add in luxury camping pods with TV and heating; proximity to the famed old town of Harlech, and options for days out sea fishing, ziplining, estuary boating and steam railway puffing… among more… and all your boxes will be ticked at Artro Lodges. Just inside Snowdonia National Park, Artro is a mile from its closest beach at Cardigan Bay, under 10 minutes' drive from the UNESCO-listed 13th-century Harlech Castle, and 25 minutes from Porthmadog and the start of the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railway… making room for all is much recommended on your holiday. All luxury pods at Artro come with a double bed and a sofa bed, a TV and a kitchen area (you'll need to bring bedding and pillows along if you're planning to use the sofa bed for sleeping). Llanbedr village, two minutes' walk away, has several pubs and a well-stocked convenience store; the nearest major supermarkets are in Porthmadog. If you're venturing out around coast and countryside by public transport, a bus stop is two minutes' walk from the site and a train station within 10. Artro Lodges operates as a 'peace and quiet' site: no noise after 11 pm, please.

Local attractions

Artro Lodges is between the Rhinog mountains and Cardigan Bay, with weeks' worth of stuff to see and do for active and sightseeing days. Take a trip to Blaenau Ffestiniog for both: this is where the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railway ends up at on its 13-mile puff from Porthmadog and is now also the setting of mountain bike trails, treetop adventuring, underground zipwiring and the spectacular Llechwedd slate caverns. Meandering towards the seaside (very easy to do from around here), combine sands and castle with a day at Harlech, the seaside town on Tremadog Bay with medieval Harlech Castle. As you'll doubtless already know, the castle was the site of the longest siege in British history (during the Wars of the Roses, but you doubtless know that too); take the floating bridge over to its cliffside setting to learn all about it in the swish visitor centre. For another seaside day, drive for 10 minutes (or take the train for 25) to Barmouth, for walks along the promenade and huge beach, or bike rides along the nine and a half-mile Mawddach Trail along the Mawddach estuary. If you're up for stretching your legs further, there's a cracking walk to Cregennen Lakes from Barmouth – with waterfall and mountain views along the way.
