North Wales Resorts (NWR), a Gwynedd-based family-run leisure operator, has acquired Gorse Hill Caravan Park in Conwy, expanding its portfolio to five holiday parks across the region.
The acquisition includes 300 caravan and lodge pitches, the historic Manor House restaurant, and on-site accommodation.
The company has indicated that further investment is planned for the site, which has been regarded for decades as a key location in North Wales tourism.
“This isn’t just a business milestone – it’s a family milestone,” said Harrison Holmes, a spokesperson for North Wales Resorts.
“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.”
Gorse Hill, set in the foothills of Eryri overlooking the Conwy Valley, has built its reputation on its natural surroundings, traditional character, and long-standing community of holiday homeowners.
NWR has confirmed that the acquisition is intended to maintain this legacy while introducing carefully planned improvements.
To manage day-to-day operations, NWR has appointed Chris Buckley as operations manager.
Buckley brings more than 35 years of experience in the leisure and holiday park sector, with a track record of shaping guest experiences and developing park communities.
“The park has a loyal community of owners and visitors who cherish the Manor House and its surroundings,” Buckley told NationalWorld.
“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.”
Industry observers note that the acquisition reflects a wider trend of consolidation and reinvestment within the holiday park sector.
For park operators and business owners, the deal highlights the importance of balancing heritage with modern investment.
As competition grows and visitor expectations evolve, strategies that emphasize both preservation and enhancement may prove essential in sustaining long-term growth.
