Caravan 133 Snowdon Summit, Dyffryn Ardudwy

Caravan 133 Snowdon Summit is a static caravan on the quiet side of Sunnysands Holiday Park at Dyffryn Ardudwy, and its best feature for dog owners is what sits immediately outside the door: the beach is about a minute's walk away, and it is a dog-friendly one. For a stay built around long sandy walks on the Gwynedd coast, that is most of the job done.

The caravan is set up for dogs rather than merely tolerating them. Guests travelling with pets mention throws and blankets left out for the dog as a matter of course, the kind of small provision that suggests four-legged guests are expected. The decking runs along the front and side and has a gate in it, so the door can be left open with the dog pottering about outside and no risk of a wander off across the park.

Inside it is a three-bedroom layout - one double and two twins - with a well-equipped kitchen, central heating, a good shower and a separate toilet room. Bedding is not provided, so bring your own. The owner has a reputation among guests for answering questions quickly, and the practical details, from the key safe to the parking, are described as straightforward.

A few things are worth knowing. The unit is signed as summit 090 on site even though it is listed as 133, which has sent arriving guests round the park hunting for the wrong number, so note both before you set off. The dining table nominally seats eight but is a squeeze at that number. The food outlet on the park has been criticised as expensive and poor, so plan on cooking or driving out. The listing asks for dogs to be kept on a lead around the park but gives no dog numbers or charges, so confirm both when you book.

It suits families or groups who want a straightforward, well-kept base with the dog, direct beach access and a quiet pitch, and who are happy to self-cater. On that basis it earns a 4.6/5 paw rating.
