Liked: Had a lovely time at this site. As mentioned in other reviews, the facilies were new and kept clean and tidy. It's very well laid out and it's lovely to see these views around you. It also feels a bit more protected from the wind. We were running a bit late getting to the site but had a call to check up on us (though we didn't have signal coming in through the mountains) but I think normally they just leave info on the reception door, so we needn't have worried. The area around is beautiful and you don't have to go on a road with no pavement to get the lake and Bala itself. We stayed for 3 nights and didn't feel the need to drive out anywhere as loads of walking to be done from the site.

Liked: This site is well laid out, lovely and clean facilities. The staff were lovely and helpful.
Disliked: Our pitch was right by the road and the traffic noise was loud although quiet during the night.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review Stuart, we're glad you enjoyed the site and our facilities. Sorry you were unhappy with the position of your pitch due to the road noise - as we always say, if people come and let us know of a problem, we will always try to do our best to rectify it. The electric only pitches are the ones along the road so that is why one of those was allocated to you. However, we did have other pitches available so we could have moved you if you asked. Kind Regards, Team PYB
