The ShowMan’s Wagon offers pet-friendly self-catering accommodation for up to four in  a renovated 1950’s fairground travelling-van overlooking the Mawddach Estuary near Dolgellau in the southern reaches of the Snowdonia National Park, North Wales.

Sleeping up to four between a double bed, a fold out small single in the lounge and the “Little Top” micro-caravan, the centrally-heated van also boasts a lounge with log-burner, a bathroom with loo, sink and shower, and a galley kitchen with dining area. The entire living space of the Wagon covers approximately 33 square metres. Outside, a small-enclosed garden faces the estuary and forms the perfect spot for the first coffee of the morning or a cheeky sun-downer after the day’s adventures.
