Meadow Island Caravan is a well-kept retreat nestled near the breathtaking landscapes of Eryri National Park, between Carmel and Rhosgadfan, Gwynedd.

Surrounded by nature and with a designated parking space just outside, this traditional single-storey caravan offers a peaceful base for families or groups of friends looking to reconnect with the outdoors.

Two well-behaved pets are welcome to join the adventure, making it a true home-from-home for all.

Accessed over a bridge onto the partially-moated grounds of Ynys Y Weirglodd, Meadow Island Caravan has three compact bedrooms thoughtfully arranged to offer comfort and rest.

There are two doubles and a twin room, each designed to make settling in easy, whether you're returning from a coastal walk or a mountain trail.

The bathroom provides a practical space to start or end your day, with a small bath and shower over, basin, towel rail, and soft lighting that invites you to pause and refresh.

A separate cloakroom with basin and WC ensures mornings run smoothly, even with a full house.

At the heart of the caravan lies the open-plan living area, where the kitchen flows into the dining and sitting spaces, with distant sea views.

After dinner, retreat to the built-in corner sofa and unwind in front of the Smart TV, warmed by the gentle glow of the electric log burner.

Whether it’s a quiet evening or a rainy afternoon, this space offers comfort and calm.

Just outside, a separate utility area houses a washing machine and freezer—ideal for longer stays or muddy boots.

Step into the enclosed garden and you’ll find a patio with countryside views and a clear stream running close by, a tranquil spot for morning coffee or an evening drink as the light fades over the hills.

Beyond the garden gate, the region’s rich heritage and natural beauty await.

Caernarfon Castle stands proudly nearby, its medieval walls echoing centuries of royal history.

At the National Slate Museum, discover the story of Wales’ industrial past through live demonstrations and immersive exhibits.

For a day of family fun, head to the Anglesey Sea Zoo, where British marine wildlife and conservation efforts come to life in engaging displays.

Whether you're drawn to dramatic coastlines, historic landmarks, or the quiet joy of a countryside view, Meadow Island Caravan offers a memorable escape to the Welsh coast and is an ideal base for walkers to explore the local spiderweb of quarryman's trails and the beautiful Snowdonia National Park.

Caravan was fantastic.

Easy to find, shirt drive to Caernarfon and Anglesey. But still remote and peaceful. Has it's own secure private garden so perfect for dogs and young children.

The caravan is in a very peaceful setting with beautiful surroundings and very conveniently positioned for lots of North Wales activities.

The caravan is well equipped with a lovely big kitchen/lounge/dining area. The extra outbuilding with washing machine and big fridge/freezer was useful too. We would have liked a more comfortable mattress though on one of the double beds. However, we loved staying there and would recommend it as a reasonably priced peaceful getaway.

The owners were friendly and really helpful and the area seemed quiet and the main living area was ok,but it was let down by uncomfortable bedrooms due to poor beds and a musty smell in all the bedrooms and to add to this most of the views from the caravan were obscured by either foliage or misted up double glazed window units and the surrounding area around the caravan looked like a building site,although there is a enclosed patio area which was ok.

Looking back the pictures and description could do with an update,as in my opinion they are misleading.

Owner response:

I am sorry to hear of the issues you had. First, I am bewildered to hear of a musty smell in the bedrooms. No one else has noticed this. I wonder if perhaps it was the orange-scented cleaning spray I use. The whole caravan is damp-dusted, vacuumed, mopped and bleached between bookings (floors, ceilings, light fittings, doors, windows, all flat surfaces, all appliances etc). Unless there is torrential rain during the turnaround and cleaning process, all doors and windows are left open for several hours so that the caravan is thoroughly aired and freshened. The beds have now been upgraded to provide better comfort. I believe there is one bedroom window that sometimes steams up. We are looking into how best to address this. Out of the 9 windows in the caravan, the end windows that overlook the garden and across to the sea have a hedge immediately outside and beneath the bottom edges. This had grown up and was obscuring part of the view. We were unable to prune this because of blackbirds and sparrows nesting; it would have been illegal to disturb them - and in any case does not fit with out ethos of enouraging wildlife into the garden. (The birds have now fledged and the hedge has been pruned). There were some tools around in our front yard. This was unavoidable as we had had problems with a leaking porch roof and damaged walls which required urgent work which could only be done during good weather. Ideally, we would have waited until there was a lull in bookings, but this never came. We took care to only carry out noisy work when guests were out for the day. I had felt that the private, secluded patio to the other side of the caravan, with sitting area, flowers and views over the adjacent stream and fields with bee hives, buzzards and the heron visiting would more than compensate. The exterior building work is now largely complete.
