Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Cute little find, the animals roaming around was great and the kids loved them and there was plenty of space for them to play and run around. The sound of the stream was lovely to sit by.

Disliked: The toilet block let it down for me unfortunately, only 2 toilets and 1 shower, and 1 sink it just wasn't enough for the amount for people there, especially in the morning.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Brilliant little farm with wild roaming chickens and a lovely stream around the perimeter, loads of space and places to play for the kids.

Disliked: Could of done with an additional shower block/ toilets as there is only one of each.

Local attractions

If guests in your group are clamouring for castles, send them off to Criccieth (10 minutes' drive), a Cadw-run 13th-century fortress with impressive views over Cardigan Bay. You might also want to call in at Caernarfon Castle (20 minutes) on the southern edge of the Menai Strait, whose mighty walls endured both Owain Glyndwr's sieges and the fiercest fighting of the Civil War. Once you've seen some of the coast, take to the mountains and Snowdonia, where excellent walks are up for grabs at scenic spots like Llanberis (20 minutes) or Beddgelert (20 minutes). Fancy trading in your walking boots for old-fashioned steam train trips? The Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railway (15 minutes) can sort visitors with whistle-stop tours of the spectacular local landscape. For something a bit more active, Zip World Slate Caverns (35 minutes) should fit the bill with its zipwires, trampolines and underground play park. Older kids in your crew might be more taken by the action-packed activities laid on at Adventure Parc Snowdonia (an hour), including top-rated watersports like freshwater surfing.
