The guest-house windows catch the morning sun over Llandudno Bay, with the Great Orme rising green and limestone-grey beyond the rooftops.

This is proper North Wales coast hospitality — a Victorian guest house that's added camping pods to the garden, so you get a bed under cover but still wake up outdoors. It suits couples after a coastal break without full camping kit, families wanting a base for the Orme's walking trails and marine drive, or anyone chasing that seaside-town vibe where you can walk to the pier for chips and be back on the hills by teatime. Llandudno's the kind of resort that never quite left the golden age — bucket-and-spade beaches, the cable car, proper cafés along the promenade.

You've got wifi across the site, which is handy when the weather closes in. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth asking when you book. Campfires depend on conditions — check when you arrive. Open all year, so it works for winter storm-watching as much as summer paddling. The feel here is relaxed and low-key, more Victorian guesthouse charm than wild camping, but that's exactly why it works.

Conwy Mountain alternative
