Non-electric hardstanding and grass pitch
Liked Nice simple site right next to a river, 2.5 miles from Betsw-y-Coed on quiet woodland paths and short time on the road. This time of year (Feb) it was very muddy so was grateful for the hard standing and the ability to have a fire. A couple of toilets and showers on site - fine when quiet, might feel different when full in the summer.
Disliked None really - muddy but that was to be expected.

Non-electric hardstanding and grass pitch
Liked Lovley place to stay, very peaceful. Toilets were ok with no issues however shower block is still being built. It was great to be able to have an open fire and sit and relax after a good days walk. I will have no issues returning later in the year. Use the previous reviews to find the site as it is hidden off the road.
Disliked Water point and washing up point could have location on site better published as arriving in the dark and trying to find them was fun but really there is nothing wrong with this site.
