Nope, wouldn't recommend Rhyl at any time of the year! DH is from North Wales and hasn't got a good word to say about Rhyl.
But there are lovely places in NOrth Wales, including Snowdownia & Chester, and Llandudno would be a nice place to stay.

God no! Stay clear of Rhyl!
I live outside Caernarfon-you want to come on up more our way.
I love Cricieth, it must be sad.
Has a real old fashioned vibe.

JG,Vogue once voted Newborough beach as one of the world's top ten!

South Wales (Gower) and West Wales as mentioned both lovely.

Honeymum · 18/01/2006 14:38

Abersoch, Llanbedrog, Criccieth all lovely - further to go but well worth it.

JenumGeranium · 18/01/2006 16:59

As it should be - it is a beautiful beach!

stephanie21 · 18/01/2006 17:03

Lucycat · 18/01/2006 18:10

stephanie21 · 18/01/2006 18:13

Lucycat · 18/01/2006 18:14

Thanks I'll check that one out, although I wouldn't see dh all week if there was a fishing lake!

How much icecream could I eat in a week?

stephanie21 · 18/01/2006 18:15

stephanie21 · 18/01/2006 18:17

spykid · 18/01/2006 18:17

Def reccomend criccieth, esp the chip shop opposite cadwalladers
Also Tenby, Llandudno, Anglesey, Borth-y Gest (Lovely harbour with hidden coves for shrimping......aaahhh roll on summer

stephanie21 · 18/01/2006 18:18

spykid · 18/01/2006 18:18

OOOOHHH stephanie 21, that ice cream at bed gellert is lush!!!
Had 2 doubles in a row last year, and ds's in love with the bubblegum flavour( so grown up)

Blandmum · 18/01/2006 18:18

I must say I wouldn't recomend Rhyl at any time.

Reason, it is horrible.

There are much nicer places to visit in the Land of my Fathers (and mothers)

Lucycat · 18/01/2006 18:19

Just had a look at that park and it looks really nice, thanks. We live in South Manchester so it's 'do-able' for a weekend in the summer.

We do like Criccieth, it's the perfect seaside town!

spykid · 18/01/2006 18:19

Great chippy but bloody long queues!

stephanie21 · 18/01/2006 18:20

did you try the ferero rocher ice cream!wow........!
