About this property
Chwilog 1.3 miles. 16 Forest Lodge is a welcoming, single-storey lodge resting on the Hafan y Môr Holiday Park in Chwilog, Gwynedd. A dog-friendly lodge in North Wales, this is a great base for a family or group of five to explore the coast and countryside along the Llŷn Peninsula AONB, with walks, watersports, and historic sites all nearby. There is off-road parking for two cars, so you can unpack and make yourself right at home in the open-plan living space. You'll find a leather reclining sofa and a reclining armchair to sink into after the day's adventures, whilst watching the wall-mounted TV and catching up with loved ones. Set the dining table for four, whilst the designated chef gets acquainted with the well-equipped kitchen area, complete with a washing machine to keep sandy towels fresh. Tuck the little ones in the twin and single bedrooms, before stepping onto your private decking with a class of wine, admiring the mountains in the distance. You'll also find a double bedroom with built-in storage, along with a shower room to freshen up before another busy day exploring North Wales. You'll be spoilt for choice on the Hafan y Môr Holiday Park with a range of family-friendly amusements such as 9 outdoor play areas, adventure trails, multi-sports court, amusements arcade, and a heated indoor swimming pool with child-friendly paddling pools. Along with on-site nature trails, you'll also be a stone's throw away from the coastal path, a convenience store, and Ogwen Beach to keep you busy all day long. Elsewhere on this spectacular peninsula you'll find the market town of Pwllheli with plenty of eateries to choose from, such as Whitehall pub and Arvonia Fish & Chips, as well as Traeth Marian-y-de Beach and a picturesque marina. The historic Criccieth is home to a hilltop castle and seafood restaurants such as Dylan's Criccieth, but if you're looking for watersports, be sure to visit the village of Abersoch with golden sandy beaches, Abersoch Golf Club, and the nearby, unspoilt Porth Neigwl. Heading further into North Wales, Porthmadog is a popular location where you can join the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways for unforgettable scenes through pastures and woodland, whilst the Italianate Portmeirion is a quirky village for the whole family to enjoy. You'll find plenty of outdoor adventures and breath-taking scenery in Snowdonia National Park where the Ceunant Llennyrch National Nature Reserve, Zip World Llechwedd, and hikes to the top of Snowdon Peak are all within reach. Make 16 Forest Lodge your home-from-home on your next North Wales adventure.

This Lodge needs a bit of TLC, although it was clean, it needs a new double bed, as it was very uncomfortable, the carpets need cleaning or renewing, very dated lodge, fridge not big enough for five people, veranda small with no sun any time of the day, the park itself was great, very clean, facilities great

Lovely campsite well maintained. Had problem with water pipe bursting but was fixed straight away. Lodge was very nice the only thing was the mattress on the double bed, looked old and uncomfortable but didn't put a damper on our hols. Other than that I have no complaints.

On arrival, pleasantly surprised at how spacious the lodge was. Sleeps 4 comfortably. We had 3 generations and 2 family dogs with us all with enough room. 2 2 seater sofas were comfortable. Decor is a little tired and a refresh would be a nice touch but property is clean. Decking area is completely covered which was a real bonus for us as the weather was unsettled but room to dry dogs and wet clothes outside. There is a launderette a few minutes walk away if you needed to dry clothes quickly. Our only negative is of the site itself. Dogs are not allowed in the outside covered area or bar area. We haven't encountered that at any of the previous sites we have stayed on. Probably wouldn't be an issue if the weather was dry as there's seating away from restaurant. Dogs must be on leads at all times and other than a very small enclosed area you aren't supposed to play with your dogs off lead, no fetch etc regardless of how well behaved you and your dogs are. Beach is very nearby so off lead time available there. Don't know if these are site specific rules or a Haven site norm but definitely food for thought for us when booking our next adventure.
