Positiv Location

Negativ We book this campsite because fireplaces and bbq was allowed on time of booking. Unfortunately after arrival, rules was changed without any information passed to us: so we cannot setup any firepit/bbq device. It was rainy week, still was raining, ground was soaked and more rain in forecast. I try to contact owner, is any changes to no fire policy due to rain, but we do not get any response, nobody pick the phone. So i left voicemail message. After another 20 minutes waiting for call back, we left the site, because we do not wanna sit on field in rain without fire. Still, after 2 days of initial message left to owner (on voicemail) Lost money and chance to camp. Misadvertized.

Vom Platzbetreiber: We’re sorry that the national fire restrictions came as such a surprise. To clarify the very basic point: fires and BBQs were prohibited under the national wildfire restrictions in place at the time of your stay. These are not rules we can simply switch off because it happened to rain overnight. The restrictions were clearly stated on Pitchup — the very booking platform you used. The reason for the restriction was also widely publicised, so unfortunately this was not some secret rule we invented after you arrived. We appreciate that seeing rain may lead someone to assume, “It’s wet, therefore there can’t possibly be a fire risk.” Unfortunately, wildfire risk is slightly more complicated than looking out of a tent and checking whether the grass is damp. After prolonged dry conditions, rainfall can run off rather than sufficiently soaking the ground and vegetation, meaning the fire risk can remain extremely high. We explained the situation to you several times. We cannot make exceptions to a national safety restriction, and we certainly cannot make an exception simply because someone doesn’t agree with it. You chose to leave the site. That was your decision. We gave you other food options locally and there are takeaways listed on the information board that deliver to the campsite. Calling this “misadvertised” because you arrived expecting to have a fire despite the clearly published restrictions is therefore rather difficult to understand. Perhaps next time, reading the terms and conditions and checking the site rules before travelling would save everyone a considerable amount of time and disappointment. They were there for precisely this reason.

Positiv Rural location with private area around hut Hut is large - bigger than most we visit before with spare bedroom for kids or use ad"waredrobe" Close enough to most Welsch attractions Owners are really nice people In case of any request/questions owners responds quickly If weather is not great - there is nice mobile network coverage.

Negativ Not sure - for us was a perfect spot, somebody may not like weather - site is exposed to wind, or narrow steep roads leads to farm. But this is why You should expect in Welsh countryside.

Positiv We really enjoy our stay, but this is not a campsite for everyone. If You wanna party all night long - find different spot. But if You looking quiet place - You will love this. + Pitch quality (grass) no problem to hook a tent with plastic pegs, terrain is mostly flat + Power sockets to recharge power bank or phone + Fridge and freezer available + Darkness in night - perfect for stargazing + Short distance to toilets/showers/dishwashing area + Nice, friendly hosts/owners + Fire pits + Hot food (limited choice) available on site (opening time is on display) + Calmness and quiet (playground is on side, so no screaming, kicking ball kids running next to tent) no music policy is working - nobody force own music taste for everyone. + Not far away from Rhyl, Prestatyn and north coast (15-20 minutes by car)

Negativ - Virtually no public transport there. If You wanna spend night at pub, or leave car on pitch, all buses (to Rhyl or Denbingh) are from City of St. Asaph 2,5 miles away. But if You walk there, this not make any sense to use buses, just because... there are Pubs/shops/takeaways as well. No shortcuts to go there because river Clwyd ;) - 4G network is around, but in "peak hours" - signal strenght fluctuate and is tricky to make stable connection. I've seen some guests walking across site with "phones up" trying to find anything. This is common problem in many popular/busy places - here A55 road has own contribution to this: how many people login same transmitter, at same time. So if You wanna watch streaming service - bad news, unless off-peak hours. This experience may vary depends on network.

Positiv Close to seaside Friendly and helpfull owners Clean toilets/utilities Nearby brewery with local brewed beer sold on site (bottled as well) You can buy literaly everything in nearby village: grocery, pertol, fire wood or DIY (tools)

Negativ No sidewalk to nearby village - and not much space for pedestrians in narrow village streets. No much traffic at roads, but this is not great. Because of this, is better use car to go short distance to seaside, but bear in mind: car park is 5 qiud per day (close to coast) pay by cash or mobile app, which is difficult due to lack signal neraby ticket machine. Not easy when cycling as well due to difficult terrain: hills, narrow roads.
