Electric optional hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Clean well appointed site, the owners take a real pride in ensuring your stay is a pleasant experience. The showers & toilets are spotlessly clean with hot water assured.
There is a nice walk into Abersoch via a path to be found adjacent to the chapel, this then takes you across the golf course or onto the beach into town.
Plenty of walks to be had on the coastal path in both directions, good walk on a nice day is to Llanengan on easy footpaths towards Hells Mouth beach then right on a bridleway to the Sun Inn for a real ale, can recommend the steak & ale pie if you are hungry.

Local attractions

Abersoch (five minutes’ drive/30 minutes’ walk) is often the first stop for family days lounging on the soft sandy beach, windsurfing or dinghy sailing adventures, and teaching the kids to swim in calm waves. Expert surfers will probably head for Porth Ceiriad beach (20 minutes’ walk), where waves come barrelling in at high tide; on calmer days it’s suitable for snorkelling or swimming. You’re never far from the sea in the stunning Llŷn National Landscape, where you can swim off the sheltered beach and stop by the National Trust’s Porth y Swnt visitor centre. Stand on the tip of the peninsula at Mynydd Mawr (35 minutes), where you have views of Bardsey Island in the Irish Sea from the soaring black cliffs; you can take a ferry from Porth Meudwy (40 minutes) to visit the seabird and grey seal colonies on the islet. For serious hiking, biking and climbing, the valleys and peaks of Eryri National Park await 40 minutes’ drive away. Active families looking for an adrenaline rush can take to the high-speed zipwires over the disused slate quarry at Zip World Penrhyn Quarry (about an hour).
