Ogwen Bank Caravan and Lodge Park Reviews

"Lovely lodge, dog friendly, gated decking area with the hot tub allowed the dog to roam the secure decking whilst we relaxed in the hot tub."

"We stayed for a week from 9th August till 16th August.I really struggle with this review as I loved it but had problems at the same time.Pros-The caravan was in a great spot (number 13 the falls)-Sitting in the hot tub watching the waterfall right beside you.-Great location to access tourist spots in North Wales.-friendly staff and accommodating-a lovely nearby walk by the waterfalls.Cons-nearest shops are Tesco express and Londis. Both don't sell a lot and what they do sell are quite pricey.-hot tub must have had a leak or someone was emptying it whilst we were out. I only went in in the evening my children didnt go in at all and from mid week every evening we came back a lot of water had gone out the hot tub. By Wednesday so much water had gone it was lower than the filter.The staff did bring me a hose pipe to refill it which I had to do every evening but when you get back at 8/9oclock most nights you don't want to be topping up the hot tub before getting in.- The van seemed like it needed a good clean. Dirt and mould around the inside of the windows. A bit of mould and mildew spray and a good wipe would sort that out.-radiators didn't work or wasn't on.Read the manual which asks you not to touch the heating systems.Got really cold during the night.It did say speak to staff and they will adjust for you but we were out from 7/8am- 8pm/9pm every day and the reception only open 9-5pm.It said the weather was going to get hot in the next couple of days so we hoped the temperature in the van would improve by the end of the week but it didn't especially in the bedrooms. However there was a small heater in the living area which kept the living area warm in an evening, it was just chilly in the back bedrooms. An easy manual for us to read to adjust by ourselves would be great.- all radiators in the van were extremely rusty.-although there are ample parking spaces they are quite tight to Manoeuvre in and out of. I tried to park with a free space either side to help us get in and out. A bigger blue badge spot would be ideal in the area.There was also something extremely spooky about either our van or the land it's on. I would find the cupboards open in the far bedroom with the double bed in.We didn't use any of the cupboards! We didnt even unpack our suitcases, We would go to sleep with them shut and wake up to them open. ????"

"We had a lovely time staying at this Hoseasons property. Lovely layout of the inside of the property, kitchen couldve been more stocked (e.g. more than one frying pan, a cutting board etc.) as it is self catering and some of the cupboards need adjusting as some of them look like they may break soon. When our boiler needed a reset the staff were super helpful and got it back up and running within half an hour, we were out so they kindly called me to let me know. The staff were super friendly and helpful, it was a beautiful lodge to stay in. Ideal location for walking and sights, close to Snowdon, the Mountain Zoo and a Tesco Expres. Really recommend, we had a lovely stay."

"Had everything you needed in there, plus an amazing view!"

"Our Ogwen Bank Caravan and Lodge Park review: Really enjoyed our stay here!"

"We had a lovely stay in one of the river-side pods with hot tubs. The views were stunning and it was so peaceful just relaxing in the hot tub with a drink. The pod itself was really cosy, clean and comfortable upon arrival. The staff at the restaurant were super friendly and the food was delicious. Only thing wed suggest is maybe some soap in the bathroom next time. Overall, wed definitely recommend Ogwen Bank and would love to come back again!"

"We had such a lovely weekend here! The place really ticked all the boxes for us and were already planning to return. Our dogs adored the underfloor heating and had a blast outside in the garden. Luna was wagging her tail so much she strained it-poor girl! Definitely a hit with both us and our furry friends!"

"We stayed at the lodge over New Years and honestly, the hot tub was fantastic! The setting was stunning and the restaurant was really welcoming, especially for our dog. However, the place felt more suited for a couple rather than a family of four with a dog. The single bathroom meant passing through a bedroom at night wasnt ideal and there were no wardrobes, so we had to live out of our suitcases, which was a bit of a pain. Still, it was a lovely break overall and wed probably go back. Just maybe not with the whole family next time!"

"the lodge was very beautiful and modern however I would not recommend for a family of four and a dog. there was only one bathroom which you had to pass through a bedroom to get to, not ideal in the middle of the night. there were also no wardrobes and had to live out of the suitcase, again not ideal for 4 people. hot tub was brilliant, surroundings were beautiful and the restuarant was nice and great for dogs. overall was a great break for us over new years eve and would recommend :)"

"We had a lovely stay at this cosy cottage. The log burner and hot tub made it extra special. Friendly hosts too. We'd love to come back!"

"We found the pod really cosy and spotless, which was great. The hot tubs cover was quite heavy, so lifting it was a bit of a struggle. A clear guide on adjusting the temperature wouldve been handy. The outdoor meal was lovely, but we felt it was a bit pricey to do often. Still, we enjoyed our stay!"

"We had a wonderful, chilled getaway. The cottage was spotless and well-equipped, with some nice little touches. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a break!"

"We had a fantastic stay! The place was spotless, airy and super modern. Felt warm and cosy, plus its right near Zip World. Watching people from the window was a bonus!"

"Wonderful place, very clean, spacious and modern. Very warm and comfortable. Close location to zip world and you can see people on it from your window. Great experience."

"Stunning lodge we stayed in, the view."

"We stayed here recently and honestly, the location is spot on - really easy to get around. The lodge itself was quite nice, well kept and felt good quality. However, check-in was a bit of a letdown; the staff seemed eager to finish up and rushed through it, which was a bit frustrating. Wifi was pretty much useless most of the time, which was disappointing considering what we paid. Theres not really any space for kids to play, since the whole site is packed with lodges everywhere. Overpriced, especially during the school holidays, but overall, not too bad."

"Great atmosphere, super friendly staff and spotlessly clean environment."

"This cottage really hit the spot for us, peaceful and quiet, perfect spot to unwind. The hot tub was a lovely bonus! Owners were friendly but not overbearing at all."

"We had an absolutely lovely stay in this peaceful spot, tucked away in a pretty and private area. The owners were genuinely friendly and always ready to help if needed, but it never felt intrusive. The hot tub was a real treat after a long day of cycling-so relaxing! One thing to note is that the cottage is under Stansteds flight path, so theres quite a bit of aircraft noise. It didnt bother us much once we got used to it, but it might be worth considering if you're sensitive to noise. Overall, a charming place with great hosts!"

"We loved the location for exploring North Wales; its super convenient. The park and rooms were spotless and well-maintained. Staff at reception were really friendly and welcoming. Only tiny gripe-the lounge seating was a bit snug for four adults, just a small corner settee. Otherwise, a lovely stay!"

"Really enjoyed our time at Goddards Mead. The cottage was perfect in every aspect. Already planning our return!"

"We had a really lovely stay at this cottage, even though its on a working farm, it feels surprisingly private. The owners, Robert and Sharon, are genuinely lovely people. The place itself is huge, with a well-equipped kitchen and a comfy bed that we didnt want to get out of. The gardens perfect for dogs-fully enclosed and with nice furniture. There are plenty of walks nearby and Thaxteds restaurants are worth checking out, especially The Star and The Maypole. Definitely recommend!"

"Had a lovely stay at Ogwen Bank. The staff made us feel really welcome and the location is simply stunning. Definitely coming back soon!"

"We had a really lovely stay at this place, nestled in such a peaceful, private spot. The owners were genuinely friendly and always there if we needed anything, yet respectful of our privacy. The hot tub was a real bonus after a long day cycling around. Only thing to note is that the cottage is quite close to Stansteds flight path, so you do get quite a bit of aircraft noise. It didnt bother us too much once we got used to it, but if youre sensitive to noise, its worth considering. Overall, a great find!"

"We had a lovely stay at this little gem, tucked away in a really peaceful spot. The owners were super friendly and always on hand if we needed anything, but also kept that perfect sense of privacy. The hot tub was a real highlight after a long day of cycling - absolutely loved it! Just a heads up though, the cottage is right under Stansted's flight path, so theres quite a bit of aircraft noise. It didnt bother us much once we got used to it, but if you're sensitive to noise, it might be worth considering. Overall, a great place to unwind!"

"We had such a lovely stay! The place was well thought out and really comfortable. The hosts were genuinely friendly and very accommodating. Honestly, it was perfect for a relaxing getaway. Were already planning to return!"

"Really enjoyed it, didnt want to leave!"

"Really appreciated the upgrade, the new place was absolutely fantastic!"

"Really enjoyed the visit, the dog-friendly atmosphere made it even better, such a lovely place to wander."

"Really enjoyed the stay, super comfy and the hot tub was a bonus!"

"An amazing break away, would thoroughly recommend. Location is perfect, food in the grill is amazing and the pod we stayed in was perfect. Will definitely be back"

"Great location for Zipworld, lovely and peaceful surroundings."

"Lovely park on the side of a river. Was very quite when we were there as we went the start of Scottish school holidays so not many people around at the time. Lodge was lovely and clean as was the hot tub, ours was in a more private area at the back of the decking. Was based behind the quarry where you could watch the zip line go past all day. We were even brave enough to go on ourselves and was an amazing experience.
Would def recommend if your in the area for zip world."

"Beautiful place to stay, would definitely recommend"

"First time visiting but definitely not the last. The site itself is beautiful, the restaurant food was delicious and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. With regards to the surrounds, what can I say, you can walk for miles with such beautiful scenery of the mountains, steams and rivers, woodland and sheep and it is right next to part of zip world. The lodge was beautiful and comfortable. There isn't a single bad thing I would say about the place. I plan on going back again next year."

"Perfect location for amazing walk! Lodge was lovely with a little hot tub outside, only thing I would suggest is if it’s a pet friendly lodge to possibly have a gate that can be shut so the dogs can be on the decking without being tied up."

"Excellent location comfortable accommodation and friendly staff"

"Beautiful scenery and comfortable accommodation. Great location for snowdon and other attractions."

"What a fantastic place! The lodge was warm, comfortable and the hot tub was bliss! The Ogwen Bank team were all very friendly. The site was ideally located for sightseeing. Ticked all the boxes and will definitely be going back!!"

"We stayed through Hoseasons. The park is so ideal for Zipworld....literally a 10min walk down the river and up the hill. There is a very small restaurant on site which does decent pub food and we found perfectly sufficed for us on our arrival....advise yo precooked though as it is small. Staff all around site are really helpful. Plus side is that you can also eat/drink at Zipworld as it is walkable. The Beechwood Lodge with hot tub was lovely. Comfy and spacious for 2 adults and 2 teen boys and has most things you need. No towels though! Also, Beechwood is next to the road so advise earplugs! We also went to The Wave in Dolgarrog. Highly recommend activities there too....surfing and Ninja course. The site is being extended with new lodges so some areas are in a little disarray. However a perfect, peaceful spot to visit the beautiful Snowdonia area."

"Was gorgeous. All the amenities were provided. Staff were so helpful. Great views. Right next to the ogwen Valley and waterfall."
