05/06/2023Courtney O Fantastic Accommodation - This was brilliant accommodation. We rented the log cabin for three of us and our dogs, and it was absolutely everything we needed. What a luxury to come back after... read more a 10 hour walk up Snowdon and have a lovely shower and a comfortable bed to sleep in. We will be back next year.
03/06/2023Sadie M 40th birthday with 20 friends! Amazing! - I arranged a weekend break to celebrate my partners 40th birthday with our friends. There were 20 of us so we rented out Arran and Maple cottage as well as... read more 3 pods! The cottages were great, had everything you could want, comfy beds and plenty of space to sit and socialise.
The pods came with their individual bathroom located in the shower block - toilet, shower and sink.
We were the for 3 days and wanted to stay longer!
Antony was a great communicator ensuring we were all set and ready and we were greeted by Angela who stayed on until we got there to ensure we had everything we needed. The gave us another bbq as well which was really kind!
This is a great place for climbing Snowdon! Would highly recommend and we will be back!
Something small to improve on, it would have been nice to have salt, pepper and some olive oil to cook with.
Amazing stay! Thanks so much!! Xx
16/05/2023 - I loved staying at Bryn Dinas Camping Pods.
The pod itself was even better then expected, bathroom incredibly clean & they provide cleaning products / towels to dry the... read more items used down after so it stays clean for other guests.
We were fortunate enough to have our own bathroom as our neighbouring pod was empty. But with the items supplied, it wouldn’t have bothered me to share! Lovely hot shower.
So peaceful, easy to park outside (it was quiet when we stayed but there is parking around the area too). Benches to sit & eat outside.
A little table and two chairs outside of our cabin for a more private dinner if you wanted.
Heater was very warm, so great for winter! Big windows for air circulation also in our cabin.
We will be rebooking shortly to come back in the Summer & hike Snowdon.
It’s also located right near a path entrance & we took this all the way to the local village. Beautiful walk & stunning scenery.
If you’re a fan of outdoor swimming, take your swim wear as the lake a stone throw away is to good to miss!
Couldn’t of asked for a nicer stay. Hosts were very informative when we booked, lots of ideas and facts about area.
Contacted us 24 hours before & on the day regarding the self check in procedure.
If you’re looking for a quiet & private get away, I couldn’t recommend it more.
See you again Bryn Dinas!

09/05/2023Justinexxxxx Great Location for a Snowdon Hike. - I would strongly recommend Bryn Dinas to anyone visiting the Snowdon area. My friends and I stayed 2 nights and found Anthony to be friendly and very accommodating. We... read more were very happy with the pod/facilities which were affordable, clean, warm and perfect for our needs with a great view from the site. You could hear the nearby river and feel immersed in nature as the site is quiet with little passing traffic. Although the traffic is minimal it is quite a fast road and would not let kids or dogs roam too freely. Prime location for access to the Watkin Path and Pools. Lovely cafe walking distance from pods and Watkins walk start point. Beddgelert not too far and you can walk on the lakeside into the town however we drove as had a hard walk already!
02/05/2023Mariana C Stunning location with comfortable and affordable accomodation - The dragons den had everything we could need, it was clean ans warm ans staff were very helpful. Spectacular location at the foothills of Snowdon witching walking distance to the... read more Watkin path which we took up to the top of Snowdon. We explored the Nant Gwynant lake and river by kayak, cycled and walked the surrounding area and fell in love with it. Will definitely visit again.

We... read more were very happy with the pod/facilities which were affordable, clean, warm and perfect for our needs with a great view from the site. You could hear the nearby river and feel immersed in nature as the site is quiet with little passing traffic. Prime location for access to the Watkin Path up snowdon (2mins walk from the start point) and 5min drive from the nearest pub/restaurant. However, nearest big Tesco & petrol station close to 20mins away if you need snacks/fuel. Overall, we would rate 5/5 and would definitely stay again!

12/04/2023Lorenzo W Central Snowdonia location with all the comforts a family needs - This was our 2nd trip to Red Dragon after staying in Snowdon cottage last year. This time we were a slightly larger group so stayed in Aran cottage.
The... read more cottage has just had a new double cooker installed which was great for our early morning breakfasts. It wasn’t easy getting the teenagers up as they were addicted to their lush feather down quilts and pillows. On an evening the log fire was great and the vast choice of boardgames meant that the TV wasn’t even turned on once.
We had a small dog with us this time, which meant some of our big adventures were restricted. However, we were still able to take him down the Sygun Copper mine just round the corner. The walk around Llyn Dinas was fab since it is in the middle of lambing season and there were new born lambs everywhere. We also had a trip out to Harlech beach which was lovely with big sand dunes and a wide open beach area with golden sands.
There is so much to do and explore here that we didn’t have time for everything. It’s safe to say we’ll be back, especially as location is central to everything in Snowdonia and North Wales. The price cannot be beaten for this type of cottage in Snowdonia, especially in high season.
08/04/2023 - Me and my sister had a 5 night get away. We stayed in the maple lodge cabin and absolutely loved it. Anthony Was really welcoming and gave us lots of... read more things we could do and walks around the area. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed and the location of the campsite is perfect whether it’s to go into the towns or zip world it’s really central to all main attractions and the lakes were beautiful. We have already booked to go back in summer and can’t wait.

05/01/2023 We stayed in the Beaumaris Castle Pod. The site has 24 hour access, ideal for long distance travellers.
There are several types of accommodation to suit all types of... read more travellers. The accommodation is very clean and suitable for all-year visits; the proprietors kindly left the heater and bedside lamp on for our arrival, which was gave us a perfectly cosy welcome in November.
The booking was online and confirmation email very detailed and precise, containing all of the information needed.
There are tea and coffee making facilities in the pod and several plug sockets. There is also a small kitchen area on site and a drying room with washing machines and tumble dryers; ideal for the seasoned winter walkers. The shower rooms are very clean, tidy and well-considered.
The website contains a wealth of information and links to activities, walks and things to do. The site is less than half a mile from the Watkin path up Snowden and located next to woodland with stunning views across valleys.
Tony and Angela were wonderfully friendly, helpful and accommodating. They greeted us on arrival and happily took the time to show us around. We had a wonderful experience and will be back!

08/11/2022Lorenzo W Marvellous location and a site that appears to cater for almost everyone. I stayed in Snowden cottage which had all the home comforts and mod cons. The cottages are beautifully... read more furnished and cosy (I asked if I could look around as I’m planning a big birthday event soon). The lodges looked great and the pods looked fab too. Must try these next time.
This is a wonderful place to stay, particularly if you love nature and the great outdoors. I’m already planning my next trip and aim to bring family and friends next time. I’m already planning for my big birthday too as this place will be perfect for all ages.
The staff on site were wonderful. A big thanks for making my trip a memorable one. See you again soon More

30/09/2022corny5016 Travelled to climb Snowdon and of all things forgot to pack my tent, I tried several places for accommodation with no luck. Phoned the Red Dragon and explained my circumstances,... read more the owner was brilliant and prepared a Pod in quick time after the previous owners vacated, I arrived around 1900hrs not really knowing what I was getting.
The Pod was immaculate and comfortable, the bathroom block (which is no more than 10 metres from any Pod) was also immaculate and the showers are awesome, laundry room, kitchen area etc all clean and tidy. Couldn’t believe my luck as it’s literally a 5 min walk to start the Watkins route to Snowdon passing the beautiful waterfalls. Both lakes are a stones throw for Kayaking too.
Had the best two nights sleep and if you ever fancy a night/week in a Pod I’d strongly recommend the Red Dragon. Beautiful area to explore. Thank you, Colin
