Waenfechan Camping and Glamping

Glamping with Panoramic Views in the Conwy Valley

Waenfechan is a family-run glamping and camping site set high on a farm at Eglwys Bach, in the beautiful Conwy Valley. Its great draw is the view: an outstanding panorama that sweeps from the mountains of Snowdonia across the Conwy estuary to the Great Orme at Llandudno. Peaceful, scenic and welcoming, it is a lovely spot to slow down for a few days, whether you want the comfort of a glamping pod with its own hot tub or simply a quiet pitch under the stars.

Glamping and camping

There is a choice of ways to stay. The Hideaway glamping pods come with their own private hot tubs and cosseting touches like underfloor heating, so they stay snug whatever the Welsh weather is doing — an easy, comfortable introduction to glamping for couples and small families. If you prefer your own kit, there are camping pitches, and dedicated campervan pitches that also come with hot-tub access. On-site facilities are kept spotless, and there are laundry facilities for longer stays.

The owners, a local farming family, take real pride in the place, and guests regularly praise the cleanliness, the peace and the warm welcome. Because the site sits in an elevated position, almost every pitch makes the most of those long valley-and-coast views — the kind of outlook you remember long after the holiday ends.

The Conwy Valley and the coast

The site enjoys one of the loveliest settings in North Wales, tucked into the green Conwy Valley where the mountains roll down towards the sea. The world-famous Bodnant Garden, with its towering trees, terraces and laburnum arch, is around a mile and a half away on foot, and a village pub is within walking distance for an evening meal. A short drive brings you to the historic walled town of Conwy, with its mighty castle and quayside, and to the Victorian seaside resort of Llandudno, with its pier and promenade. The heart of Snowdonia, with its peaks, lakes and waterfalls, is also close at hand. The Conwy Valley is a fine touring base: the surf lagoon and activities at Adventure Parc Snowdonia are just down the valley at Dolgarrog, the zip-lines and adventures of Zip World are within reach, and the pretty village of Betws-y-Coed, gateway to the Snowdonia forests and waterfalls, is a short drive inland.
