Electric hardstanding and grass pitch
Liked: I believe this was the new owners first week and they were absolutely lovely. The site was looking good for this time of year. The washing up facilities were absolutely amazing, really useful and included fridges and freezers as well. The site was located in the middle of nowhere which was nice. It certainly could be a nice quiet site.
Disliked: The pitch next to us had an awful lot of people staying on it, loads of kids kicking balls and throwing stones. Would be nice if there was an area they could play away from other people's vehicles. Could do with another toilet as there was only one for men and one for women and the loo was in with the shower. This meant that when someone was having a shower you could have a long wait to use the facilities

From the manager: Thank you for your fair review. We did have an unexpectedly large number of children on the site during the Easter holidays at short notice, possibly because the weather had not been particularly favourable and all our pitches have hard standing. With regards to the toilets, as you noted it was our first week and we are now considering whether making the facilities unisex would make a difference, but there is also another toilet in the wet room. Amanda & Kevin

Liked: Amanda and her husband couldnāt have been more welcoming. This was their first week of opening have just taken over as the new owners of Fron Rafel and it was lovely to meet them. The site is great, even better than the pictures portray, very small, quiet and friendly - 5 decent sized hard standing pitches with grass available beside for a tent or awning, perfect for our campervan. Plus 2 larger/double sized pitches. The bathrooms were brilliant, clean and a good size with great hot showers. We didnāt use the kitchen or utility area but they looked to be a great provision. We would definitely use Fron Rafel again in the future. Just stayed for one night this time as a stop over to break up a long journey but hope to be back to see what happens under the new ownership. The yurt, shepherds hut and static caravan will be fabulous offerings once they are up and running š

From the manager: Thank you for your great review, we really appreciate it as it was our first weekend. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Kind Regards Amanda

2 bedroom static caravan
Liked: We stayed in the 2 bedroom static caravan, it was very cleverly renovated with an en suite to the main bedroom. The caravan was clean, roomy and airy. We loved how quiet the site was and the private wild garden was a fantastic addition to a very well thought out place. The owner was friendly and helpful, great value for money š° too. Will definitely return š thank you!

Liked: Absolutely loved our stay, spacious yurt with loads of lord of the rings character, comfy beds, electricity and two fridges. Amazing to have our own shower and kitchen facilities. The campsite is small and super friendly, so no noise late at night and the hosts were so lovely and welcoming. Close to lots of things to do from a simple google search. I would recommend highly and will be booking again next year.

Liked: Steve was friendly and always contactable. Pitches were a good size. Showers lovely and clean.

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch
Liked: Owner was a lovely friendly man but seemed the only one to do all that needed doing.
Disliked: There was only one male and one female toilet/shower room. The site definitely needs more. They were always dirty as so many using them one after another. Not cleaned daily. Most tent pitches were on a slope including the one we had so not ideal to sleep.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: hi anonymous. not sure what site you stayed at as we have 1 male shower room and 1 female shower room as well as a family wet room and the yurt has its own facilities. most sites have 1 shower room to 9 pitches. i personally clean all of them daily and never miss a day. the weather when you were here was awful so i cleaned all of them 3 times a day. you should have brought it to my attention if you weren't happy but you didn't. the grass pitches are as flat as can be and we have never had complaints before and these are kept by another member of staff. perhaps camping isn't for you. interesting that you left an anonymous review. bemused steve
