Truly unbelievable! Not only providing a wonderfully affordable bed for the night, but also even came to my aid after I suffered a blowout on one of my tyres when 45 miles from getting there.I simply can't recommend Basecamp highly enough. Hopefully I'll be back up in Wales on the future to do more charity events.This place WILL be my port of call.THANK YOU Basecamp Wales!

A fantastic place for the price. Friendly team, clean place, all necessitites, great location. Perfect for cyclists as a strategic location to see the whole area from Bangor to Porthmadog and mountains. Will take you 90-120 minutes to cycle to Snowdon.I spent a week and could not ask for more. Will return again for sure.
