Russell George MS, Member of the Senedd for Montgomeryshire, visited Meadow Springs Country & Leisure Park in Trefeglwys as part of Wales Tourism Week celebrations.
Meadow Springs Country & Leisure Park is a five-star touring and holiday home park located in Trefeglwys, Powys. Opened in February 2022 and owned by Jonathan Williams and Lisa Hughes, the park recently received the 'Best Caravan, Camping & Glamping' award at the National Tourism Awards for Wales.
The park includes lakeside lodges, static holiday caravans, and all-weather touring pitches.
The awards, which took place at Venue Cymru, Llandudno, are a chance to share ideas within the sector, to inspire and promote innovation and celebrate and raise the profile of an industry which contributes to the economy of Wales.
During his visit, Mr. George toured the park's facilities, learning about the park's recent £4 million investment, and its future investment of £3 million in new spa facilities with a swimming pool, sauna and gym.
The visit underscores the importance of tourism to mid Wales, an industry that employs nearly 12% of the Welsh workforce and contributes £3.8 billion to the national economy annually.
Commenting after the visit, Russell George said:
“The exceptional transformation over the last couple of years of the Meadow Springs site highlights the extraordinary innovation that is taking place in mid Wales’ tourism industry.
"Meadow Springs offers incredible opportunities for visitors, contributing significantly to our local economy and showcases the best of what our area has to offer.
“They continue to invest in improving the site to make it a truly unique mid Wales experience.
“I congratulate Jonathan, Lisa, and service manager Clive Bowen and their team on winning the award for 'Best Caravan, Camping & Glamping' at the National Tourism Awards for Wales, this is a testament to their hard work. The team are not resting on their laurels and it was exciting to hear about their future plans which will only enhance their offer to visitors but also the local community.”
Clive Bowen, service manager at Meadow Springs Country & Leisure Park said:
"At Meadow Springs, we’re proud to offer a wide range of leisure facilities to suit all interests and ages.
"Whether it's paddleboarding or kayaking on our crystal-clear spring water lake, casting a line in our private stretch of river, or letting the kids explore our adventure play area, there’s something for everyone. Guests can also enjoy scenic walks or cycle along our all-weather paths through the park.
“And at the heart of it all is Arthur’s Restaurant & Bar, where we serve hearty, home-cooked meals made with locally sourced ingredients in a relaxed, friendly setting.
“I’m glad we had the opportunity to show Russell around what we believe, is a unique selling point for mid Wales tourism."
