Bryn Seiont Newydd, on the outskirts of Caernarfon, opened its doors in November 2015 and a year later was crowned as the best new care home in the UK.

It is part of the award-winning Pendine Park care organisation, which is also marking its 40th anniversary this year.

‘The organisation was established by Mario Kreft MBE and his wife, Gill, in 1985 because they couldn’t find anywhere suitable for their own grandparents.
