A caravan site that has been used for camping since the end of the Second World War has been honoured by the Welsh government tourism body Visit Wales, who gave the resort a special five star rating.
The decision follows the completion of upgrade work on Tyddyn Du Touring Park, which now has improved shower and toilet facilities for use when staying there.
A report in the North Wales Weekly News explains that the land on which the site is built has belonged to the family of Pam Watson-Jones for over 120 years.
But while the area has been a popular fixture among campers since the 1940s, caravanners had to wait another 40 years before Ms Watson-Jones hit upon the idea of turning it into a site for tourers, subsequently gaining a license.
Speaking to the news provider, the caravan park owner admitted it had taken a lot of hard work to get to this level.
“I brought it up from two stars to four stars and now five stars,” she explained.
“I’m very proud because that is what you want to work towards – being the best at everything.”
It’s been a bumper year of success for caravan parks in Wales, with the Tree Tops site in Gwespyr also among the accolades after picking up a Wales in Bloom award for its beautiful gardens last month.
