Positiv Quiet site, beautiful setting by the river. Food and drink in the pub was reasonably priced and our meals were super nice . Staff friendly, landlord even got us milk from shop as we'd forgotten it. Pitches were level and large. There was also alpacas on site and due to being on the riverside, there was lots of wildlife.

Negativ Crossing the river to access the site,

Positiv Absolutely lovely, would recommend. Beautiful location, good facilities, characterful family run pub and friendly locals. Oh - and Alpaca's on demand.

Negativ You are staying by a river, so if of a certain age, needing to get up in the night - you will be.

Positiv We have just come back from glamping with the alpacas as a family. We thoroughly enjoyed our time meeting and feeding the alpacas. It's a beautiful setting with the river and surrounding countryside. We were lucky enough to enjoy a swim as the weather was amazing. The owners are all so friendly and my daughter loved their dog. They have kitchen facilities and compost toilets as well as toilets in the crown inn. They provide food which we enjoyed. They have a pool table. They have fires and you can buy wood. We stayed in the oak tent and felt we had lots of space to play bowles. They have chickens and sheep you can also feed. We met a couple of friendly horses further down whilst walking near by it was idyllic and an enjoyable chilled break. I would return again.

Positiv Imagine a lovely drive through north Wales - you're on a long road (B5105 going west) with a lovely hilly view. The road starts to go downhill before sweeping to the left. The pub comes into view at the bottom of that hill. You park up next to a flowing river and make your way into this quaint old pub; on your way in some of the locals are conversing comfortably in Welsh on a picnic table outside. You go into the bar to check-in and are met with the best welcome you've ever had. You don't get verbal instructions about where to pitch-up or shown your accommodation on a map but you get taken to it by staff as well as briefed on the facilities available and how to use them. The staff onsite make sure all party members are aware of the facilities and rules. During your stay you see staff wandering around onsite saying hello to guests and making sure everything is clean and ship-shape. You make friends with the other campers on site. You can make a lovely meal by the river with your own cooking facilities then turn in for the night falling asleep and waking up to the sound of flowing water. Oh...and there are alpacas. :)

LOVED
1. The fantastic customer service and the community feel.
2. The vast variety of accommodation (rougher camping, flat riverside pitches for roof tents, glamping, innovative cabins).
3. Clean compost toilets with two sinks.
4. On site pub for refreshments and good food.
5. It's a quiet site - no music.
6. Wildlife (a variety of birds and bats).
7. Alpacas, obviously.

Negativ The lack of some sort of hand drying facility at the compost toilets. I hope an eco-friendly and sustainable option exists out there. In the summer wafting my hands dry is not an issue at all - they dry in less than a minute, but they'd be cold in any other season. This can be solved by remembering to take your own towel/hand towel to the loos - I was unprepared in all honesty but this would help with convenience.

Positiv Lovely campsite in a beautiful location. The campsite is well maintained and the owners are very welcoming and accommodating. The river and grounds make for a tranquil experience. The alpacas is a nice touch and my children loved them.
