Owner Description
Welcome to Aberdunant Hall Holiday Park set in 200 acres of peaceful forest in the heart of the Snowdonia National Park and our comfortable 6 berth holiday home. As keen hikers wanting to explore Snowdon we found this idyllic holiday park in 2006 by its proximity to Snowdon and also the Coast and have never stopped coming. We love the simplicity and ambience of the park so much that in 2018 we decided to invest in our very own slice of Snowdonia and buy this caravan. Having rented on site every year staying in many types of caravans on the park we have tried to furnish ours with this in mind to ensure you are comfortable and have a great holiday experience.
We think the park is a special one and unique by way of its location,stunning scenery and its closeness to nature. If hiking is your passion then you are quite simply spoilt for choice not only from the magnificent Snowdon itself but to lesser know mountains like Cadair Idris or Moel Eilio near Llanbaris and if it is the stunning beaches and coastline you are wanting to explore then a short drive to Borth-y-Gest and Criccieth will take you there in no time at all.
For further information about the park please visit - www.aberdunant.com

This was our second stay this year in Howard's caravan. We will most definitely be returning! We cannot rate this holiday home highly enough, it simply has everything you could want for a fantastic holiday in a stunningly beautiful park! We have stayed in many different caravans over the years at Aberdunant, however, this is without doubt the cleanest, cosiest one we have had the pleasure to stay in. The location of the caravan is also perfect, the large decking area is great for relaxing out with a glass or two! Howard makes the whole booking process faultless from start to finish, it really couldn't be any easier. Basically, Howard gave us an opportunity to enjoy this holiday home in a magical setting for an affordable price. You will not be disappointed!

From our first initial enquiry to the end of our stay the service and communication from Howard was exceptional. The caravan was spotless, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was beautiful in the park, the welcome pack on arrival was heart warming and sincere. The parking was convenient. I would rate our stay 10/10... I would recommend this caravan to all my friends, family and anybody looking for a value for money stay , holiday or short break and I would guarantee you will receive a five star service from Howard like we did. We will return I have no doubts. Thank you Howard.

This is by far the most peaceful place I have ever stayed. The surroundings where just beautiful, clean and relaxing. The caravan had everything and more than you could possibly need, The attention to detail of information was invaluable and the speed of reply to any question fault less. Customer service was 10/10 job well done from a very happy customer and one who hopes to return. If you are looking at staying here, You won't be disappointed.

Just had another fabulous stay at a Wonderful Caravan, we have been to Aberdunant 3 times in the last year and won't stay in another caravan now, we love this one so much. Lovely welcome hamper on arrival, teabags, coffee, sugar, sweetener, shortbread- my fave and red wine, so we didn't have to dart straight to the shops for supplies. Caravan was immaculate as usual and the site is so peaceful but this plot is particularly tranquil and quiet. Very close to amazing woodland walks with waterfalls. Scenic and nature filled surroundings makes for an extremely peaceful stay. Definitely recommend. 10/10!! Thanks again Howard! ????????????????????????????????????????????

After reading previous reviews of this caravan we had an idea of what to expect and we were not disappointed. The caravan and its location were perfect. The welcome pack from Howard was an excellent touch. We had a superb experience on our first visit to North Wales and we are looking forward to returning hopefully to this particular caravan. Thank you Howard.

Could not fault the caravan, position on the park, facilities and the attention to detail, from the very expedient booking to receiving lots of useful information from Howard. The welcome pack was just that, very welcome and because of the prompt responses to requests/questions you can just get on with your holiday without any worries. Thoroughly recommend this caravan and the fact we could take our little doggie was just another bonus. All in all a really nice break and we would have no hesitation in booking the caravan again. Thank you Howard.

We stayed for a week with our two dogs and the caravan was just perfect. The secure garden (and the great October weather) allowed us to leave the doors open knowing our dogs would be safe. The caravan was immaculate with all the facilities we needed. The booking couldn't have been easier with Howard being the most efficient owner I think I've ever experienced. And the unexpected welcome pack was icing on the cake - especially as I'd forgotten to pack my tea-bags ! The position of the caravan in the park was superb too. Looking out across an area of landscaped green offered a lovely, peaceful view from the veranda, and the slightly elevated position of the site meant we retained a great deal of privacy even when people were walking by. I would thoroughly recommend this caravan on this site - great accommodate, and a great location.

We had a fabulous week's stay in this lovely clean and wonderfully presented caravan. Everything was included for a stress free and comfortable holiday for both ourselves and our small dog. The welcome pack was very much appreciated. As frequent visitors to the Park we loved the siting of the caravan which made the best of the lovely sunny weather we experienced. Every effort was made by Howard to ensure our stay was perfect.

Absolutely fabulous holiday from start to finish. The caravan was spotless, the decking was invaluable, we could leave the door open without out dogs disappearing. The welcome pack was a lovely touch, Howard's information on walks around the woodland and Bedgelert were a great help. The walk to Llan Dylas was probably the most spectacular I've ever been on. We were very lucky as the weather was beautiful, but the whole experience here was faultless. Would thoroughly recommend staying in Howard's caravan, will be back .

What a superb accommodation,spotlessly clean,tidy and comfortable.Every utensil and amenity you could ever wish for was provided and the caravan was situated in a lovely location in the park. There was a lovely welcome pack on arrival and you felt as though the owner, Howard, really cared that his guests felt welcome . My wife, myself and our Cavalier King Charles could not have been happier. We found a jewel. There was an occasion where we needed help from the park staff which was willingly provided. Thank you Howard. We will return.
