Graig Wen has been our home and business for 16 years. Our award-winning holiday accommodation including a camping and glamping site has won two North Wales Tourism Awards and we have been featured in national media as recommended place to stay. We are proud that we have many fantastic reviews of our accommodation, location, standard of cleanliness and welcome. We love to welcome back our many repeat guests and the friends and family they recommend. John and Sarah packed up their lives in Brighton in 2006 and left town with their dogs in an old motorhome. We discovered Graig Wen after a year on the open road – we had found the wild escape of our dreams. We feel incredibly privileged to call Snowdonia home. It’s our pleasure to share it with others.
