Pen Y Banc

Liked: We stayed 7 nights at Pen y banc needing a break away from work. We were welcomed with homemade ginger cake (which we ate within an hour of arrival - delicious) and home made jam enjoyed during our peaceful and tranquil breakfasts in the caravan surrounded by nature. Besides being the perfect place for star-gazing, Pen y banc is also a great accommodation to stay as it is perfectly located central about 30-60 mins away from the many places that are worth visiting including betws-y-coed, Conwy Castle, Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and portmeirion. We would highly recommend staying here as we enjoyed our stay thoroughly!

From the manager: It was a pleasure to host you guys and I'm so pleased you enjoyed your stay (despite there being a few days of rather unseasonable weather). At least you had a couple of sunny days at the end and were able to make use of the firepit and bbq. Incredible that you managed to spot Saturn and Neptune with your telescope!

Liked: Absolutely fabulous time. The location is amazing, if you want peace and quiet and to be able to totally chill....this is the place for you. Ruth and Chris the hosts are so friendly and leave you alone but at the same time are on hand for anything you might need. Ruth's homemade pizza's were fabulous. The caravan was very comfortable and it was great just to sit and relax in the awning and watch the birds, especially the woodpeckers. Great place.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike.

From the manager: I enjoyed hearing about your various day trips out. We're so well situated for exploring North Wales. We look forward to welcoming you back so you can visit some new sights and drop in on your favourites, like Beddgelert.

Liked: A beautiful, peaceful and remote site! If you like just sitting n watching nature all around you then this is the place to go. Hosts are very welcoming n understand the importance of privacy but still at hand if you need anything! Pilot (Labrador) is gorgeous n likes to say hello. The Karenvan is perfect, comfy n has everything u need. The crown pub a 45 minute walk is well worth the effort, has a beautiful beer garden along the river n lovely food, also very welcoming!! We will definitely be returning!! Thank you so much for letting us enjoy your bit of the world!! ❣️😊

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.
