The Bungalow
Disabled Access Statement


Bwth Meirion or "The Bungalow" as we call it, is a medium size building suitable for small families and couples who want privacy near Caerddaniel Holiday Home Park and need a little more luxury than in out Holiday Homes. This property is suitable for wheelchair bound disabled people as it is all on one level, however the facilities are not specifically designed for disabled use. It overlooks Caerddaniel's open fields and the beautiful sandy beach below, and because of this the access to the beach is on a steep gradient.

Those wishing to walk to the beach would need to use the walkway from the Bungalow along the A496 (flat) to the Main Entrance of Caerddaniel. There, a sloping hill leads you to the beach below. This would take about ten minutes down but a bit longer going back!

Those with walking difficulties would be strongly advised to use a car which would only take two minutes to get to the parking area provided. Those without cars can ask at Reception and alternative arrangements can be made.
