About Pen-y-Garth Lodges
With all the delights of Snowdonia National Park right on the doorstep, Pen-y-Garth Lodges offer an idyllic retreat for families, couples and groups of friends looking to enjoy all that the region has to offer. Whether you are seeking a relaxing break surrounded by stunning scenery or are looking to enjoy exciting outdoor pursuits these lodges are just perfect.
This quiet site is popular all year round and has a children's play area and a launderette. There are several villages close by so shops, pubs and cafes are within easy reach. Bala Lake is just a short walk from the park and is a magnet for water sports enthusiasts. Those who prefer to stay on dry land can enjoy walking, cycling, climbing and nature trails. Families may enjoy a nostalgic steam train journey on the famous Ffestiniog Railway or a wander around Caernarfon Castle.
The site offers several types of Lodge accommodation but we recommend the Superior Country Lodge Four VIP and Superior Country Lodge Six VIP as they both have private outdoor hot tubs! All lodges are very well equipped for self catering and have luxurious extras including flat screen TV's, DVD players and dishwashers. Lodges also have furnished outside space where guests can enjoy the gorgeous views. The central heating ensures that they are cosy all year round.

"Lovely park and location"
Theresa
Aug 2025
"Very tired and worn. Cupboards and shelves were thick in dust. Crockery was all filthy, plates and bowls must have been put away wet as all had puddles on them. Carpet needs replacing throughout. Most window locks were broken off and door was difficult to open and lock. Decking had chicken wire on it to stop you slipping but this was broken and a trip hazard in places. Shower pressure was good though and beds were comfy."

"Fabulous holiday park, very clean and well maintained, lodge was very spacious and lovely little homely touches which make this very comfortable, loved the outside BBQ and fire pit under the paragola with lights and great seating area, also the hot tub was an great addition overlooking the mountains view, the additional seating area with a gate to stop your dog/s escaping which is a reassurance, but down by the BBQ the dog can escape from under the bushes onto the site, just a little mention by al means its a fabulous holiday park and very close to lake a steam train just 5 minutes down the road and a town 10 mins away by car highly recommend ????????????????????"

"Clean, well equipped and a good size for 2 adults, 2 children and a dog! Fantastic to have a dishwasher, washing machine and hot tub, it made it a home from home. Beds were comfortable. Outdoor furniture could do with being replaced. Curtains were very light - could do with black out blinds or curtains on the windows. Overall very happy with the accommodation and would return."

"We booked a Foxglove Platinum 6 with hot tub. Lodge was immaculate and well equipped. Hot tub was a very welcome addition. (These are emptied, cleaned and refilled after each stay. The site is quiet and again immaculate just a short drive from Bala Lake and Bala itself. Would highly recommend this site"

"House is lovely plenty of room pool table and hot tub were a hit and big private garden dogs loved it only had one negative which is only minor could do with ungrading the pots and pans to non stick everything stuck to them even with plenty of cooking oil but it is a good excuse to eat out or use the barbecue ????."

"Had a lovely stay at Pen Y Garth lodges with 2 adults, 2 children and a dog. The park is a lovely peaceful park with a children play area and indoor games room along with a small shop for essentials.
The park is a great base to explore the local area with Bala Lake only 5 minutes away, along with Bala town with a number of pubs and shops.
Barmouth beach is only 45 minutes drive away and is lovely for a visit."

"Lodge is absolutely beautiful, as is the site. It has everything you could possible need in the accommodation. Ideally situated for exploring all day, with the added bonus of the hot tub to chill after a long day.
None of us wanted to come home."
Emma
Jul 2022
"Lovely luxurious lodges, beautiful surroundings very peaceful, Only issues I had were you can’t check in till 4.30 so the first day as gone and you have to be out by 9am far to early especially when you have to strip bedding, Put towels in laundry bags, empty all the bins as well as packing your car up and getting everyone fed and out by 9am, When I asked why they said due to cleaning and Covid etc it could take 3 hours per lodge to clean, which I do understand, but there was bags of water balloons from previous guests stuffed down the back of the side cabinet so not been cleaned / checked over properly. I wasn’t looking for anything to moan about I found them purely because we had problems with the Wi-Fi so I looked see we had the right plugs plugged in. Other than that it was a beautiful week in a beautiful Lodge - They just need to tweak the times of check in and check outs and it would be 10/10"
Austin

"This is a quiet, tranquil park - been a few times and will continue to visit."
Nicola

"Stayed in Lodge 53. Great as the hot tub is a but more secluded. The lodge was huge and had no issues. The park is well kept and has some amazing views. It's less than a 5 min drive into Bala. Would highly recommend this parc and will definitely be back."
Stacey

"Lovely park but could do with a little shop and maybe a bar/restaurant on as there’s not many places to eat the lodges themselves are excellent"
