Why stay here ...

Cefn Eithin is set in a tranquil and scenic location on a rural smallholding in the little hamlet of Bethesda Bach. It is situated above Caernarfon Bay on the edge of the Snowdonia National Park, 4 miles from the Royal Heritage Castle Town of Caernarfon in North West Wales. Larger caravans and motor homes are welcome as are well-behaved dogs.

Great little site

There is absolutely nothing to fault here. The pictures of the site possibly need a little of an upgrade, the hedges have grown somewhat and there is more privacy and colour than can be seen - it's even better! We received a warm welcome, and help to leave when I damaged... Show more

Fantastic CL

We were so impressed with this CL, not the largest we’ve been on but really well laid out with privacy hedging between pitches. Narrow entry but no problem arriving or departing with our twin axle van. The owners are really lovely. We saw Helen and their gorgeous dog George most... Show more

Perfect location for exploring North Wales
