One of North Wales' best known holiday parks has been sold

A well known luxury holiday park in North Wales has been sold. Gorse Hill Caravan Park in Conwy is one of the region’s most exclusive holiday sites.

It is sat in the foothills of Eryri overlooking the Conwy Valley and has attracted generations of families and visitors from across the UK.

Now the landmark site has been acquired by Gwynedd-based North Wales Resorts (NWR), one of the country’s fastest-growing family-run leisure operators.

The deal includes 300 caravan and lodge pitches, the historic Manor House restaurant, and on-site accommodation, making it one of the company’s most significant and ambitious acquisitions to date.

There are plans for significant investment in the pipeline.

“This isn’t just a business milestone – it’s a family milestone,” said Harrison Holmes, a spokesperson for North Wales Resorts. Sign up for the North Wales Live newsletter sent twice daily to your inbox

“Gorse Hill is an iconic destination, and we are proud to welcome it into the NWR family.

“We are committed to preserving its unique charm while making thoughtful investments in its future. With our experienced team in place, we have complete confidence in delivering the very best for owners and guests.”

A spokesperson added: “For decades, Gorse Hill has been regarded as a jewel in the area’s tourism sector. Its blend of natural beauty, traditional features, and strong sense of community has made it a firm favourite among holiday homeowners.

“The acquisition ensures this legacy will not only be protected but enhanced, with carefully planned improvements set to elevate the experience for all.”

This expansion takes NWR’s portfolio to five premium holiday parks across North Wales, all family-owned and operated.

To oversee day-to-day operations at Gorse Hill, NWR has appointed Chris Buckley as operations manager.

Chris will work alongside key NWR leaders, including Hayden Yates, who specialises in sales and operations, and Liz Jones, who oversees owner relations and marketing.

“The park has a loyal community of owners and visitors who cherish the Manor House and its surroundings,” said Chris.

“My focus will be on enhancing what’s already great and introducing new features that will make Gorse Hill an unmatched destination for owners and families from across the UK.”
