Plas Newydd is a superb example of what a CL should be. The owners, Anthony & Alison are great hosts and the facilities are better than anyone could reasonably expect. The peaceful location is excellent, with lovely views, providing an enviable base for North Wales. We visited Bala, Porthmadog via the Ffestiniog Railway (start at Tan Y Bwlch if you want parking and a nature walk) and Barmouth as well as Llangollen and The Horseshoe Falls. Llandudno, Conwy and the Snowdon Mountain Railway, from Llanberis, are easily reachable, but don’t overlook the Llangollen Railway, which follows the River Dee to Corwen, nor the Llangollen canal, where you can enjoy horse-drawn barge trips. The site does slope. Anthony had to help us onto our pitch using his 4 x 4 as the grass was damp. It is also on a hillside, meaning it can be breezy, so secure your awning as well as possible! Thank you, Alison, for the delicious cooking apples. We also loved the eggs (and your chickens!). Highly recommended.
