Swallow Bach

Μου άρεσε Site near to Llangefni (with lots of shops, supermarkets and pubs) which is a central location to explore the whole of Anglesey. The owner's directions are spot-on and avoid the twisting one-way system in Llangefni. We managed to get our GPS to replicate the route exactly using the What3words location and putting "via Lidl". The turning off the road is then fine and the gate opening outwards, and hence blocking the road, wasn't a problem for us. The pitches are well set out with plenty of space -- 5 pitches down the left, with trees behind, and looking towards a small open field with trees in the distance. Very quiet and peaceful -- a back to nature experience. Water, electricity and soak away for grey water all worked well. Despite the negative points below, we did enjoy our stay very much and loved our first trip to Anglesey. It won't be our last.

Δεν μου άρεσε We booked last minute (two days before travelling) and had to prompt the owner the afternoon before our departure to send the directions as I like to follow them in Google maps beforehand to be fully prepared. Although the reply was prompt it looked like a standard email, a bit impersonal, and didn't have our name nor did it say who it was from. Also, we never saw anyone working at the site during our one-week stay. No one came to cut the grass, to check the elsan or bins. The grass was too long even at the start and looked as if it had been only trimmed, never properly cut, as large plants were cut off part way down. There were also lots of uncollected grass clippings starting to decompose as well as leaves around the elsan point. The gravel pitches are big for a caravan, we don't have an awning, but not enough space to park the car. So, the car will be partly on the long grass. When we arrived there was only one other caravan and no-one at all for our remaining 4 nights. For us this, coupled with seeing no-one working on the site, made it feel a bit "isolated". The site gate is not locked, there is no barrier and, apparently, no security cameras. The three recycling rubbish bins seem adequate, but we saw nowhere for glass -- we brought ours home -- and unfortunately the plastics/tins bin was half full of glass with a sticker from the council saying it couldn't be collected because of "contaminated waste/no glass", dated 4/6/25 -- our visit was early July -- we also brought our plastics home. We read other reviews saying it's "uncared for" and we agree. There has to be a balance between natural and organized but we don't think it's quite right at the moment. It was too much like "wild camping with utilities" for us. A little bit of regular site maintenance would go a long way. Done thoughtfully, it doesn't need to break the "back to nature" feel which, of course, is important. In our opinion the site fees, for the level of care and attention, are too high compared to others on Anglesey but a bit more care could make it a better option. We have added lots of comments as with a bit more TLC this could be a much loved and regularly revisited site.

Μου άρεσε This is a lovely quiet location, no traffic noise and not far from a busy town with supermarkets and everything you could need. This site is off the beaten track and satnav will not get you there, but the owner sends good instructions. There is a 4g signal for phones. The owner communicated well before our visit.

Δεν μου άρεσε The grass was in need of cutting, the pitches are covered in weeds and the edges are hard to locate. The gate is very close to the road, luckily only a quiet road, but not great having to block the road whilst you have to open the gate and close when leaving (especially when towing). Even with the instructions, it was hard to locate the site, the sign is on the gate and is easy to miss.

Από τον διαχειριστή: Thank you. Love all the good points. Its been so busy my gardener has not been able to get in ( imagine the furroar if he was using weedkillwr on peoples pitches with animsls and children BBQ ing etc) or disturbing the tranquility with his ride on mower!! We need a day when empty as a bit longer grass and a few weeds is a small prive to pay for its unique peaceful atmosphere. However we hope to get a day this week and have back to its usual immaculate standard. BTW the electricity is an extra, not included in pitch- i didnt raise it but its what everyone else does …

Μου άρεσε Chilled out place great for our first stay in angelsy. nice rural location nice communications with the owner

Δεν μου άρεσε Nothing can't fault

Από τον διαχειριστή: Thank you. I know who you are!! 😀. Massively appreciated. It is chilled. It always will be … thankyou

Μου άρεσε Great peaceful site. No traffic noise, in fact no man-made noice at all, just nature.

We'll be back.

Δεν μου άρεσε Final directions could have been better.

Από τον διαχειριστή: Wonderful guests… hope you come back. Thank you.

Μου άρεσε Lots of green space nice and quiet

Από τον διαχειριστή: Thank you!!! Lovely to have you as early guests. We aim for a small piece of tranquility in tjis otherwise hectic life!! Come again..

Μου άρεσε The peace and quiet was wonderful as was the dark skies. We were lucky enough to be the only ones at this small wild site - with electric hook-up and running water. The friendly and helpful owner visited only once whilst we were there and kindly left us to the peace and quiet but was contactable if needed. The town of Llangefni is a short drive away and has shops, supermarkets and fuel stations.
Swallow Bach is very centrally located and perfect to visit all areas of Anglesey.

Δεν μου άρεσε Not a dislike - just observations. The grass in the field was rather long and the gravel hard standings were in need of weeding. We were limited to which pitch we used as the others had overhanging branches that would have been on our roof if we had parked there. As the advert states there are no toilets or showers at this site which could be a problem for those without on board facilities but there is electric hook ups and running water, for those on the hard standings, and an Elson point. 4G signal was also good.

Από τον διαχειριστή: Thank you. Pretty spot on. Defo needs cut and weed kill. Just waiting couple weeks till seasons end for weedkiller as cant fo with pets etc. thanks for coming over.

Μου άρεσε Peaceful location relaxing and our 2 dogs loved it

Δεν μου άρεσε Only the wife was abit slow but not a problem

Από τον διαχειριστή: I assume you meant WIFI not wife😂. Thank you. Its all about peace and quiet with all the convenience of a fully served pitch. Thank you all for continual amazing feedback. Its what its all about for me. Thank you xx

Μου άρεσε Very nice campsite with water and electric hookup. It is a 5 minute drive from llangefni.

Δεν μου άρεσε The google maps location on email isn't very accurate.

Από τον διαχειριστή: Lovely review , thanks so much. Yes dont use Google, follow instructions i email all guests. Its written for caravans. And use what.three.words…

Μου άρεσε Small site quite

Δεν μου άρεσε Couldn't find it with the sat nav had to ring up to find right place. No one came out when we arrived could of done with strimming the grass around the electric and water point

Από τον διαχειριστή: Hi thanks for review. All guests get an email on booking with directions specific for caravan drivers. Its says do not use sat nav as gets you wrong. For anyone reading this please follow specific directions. Re strimming. Its v dangerous to strim around live electric cables. But the grass is cut weekly in the summer. However if people have awning around etc then will not be cut. Hope these remarks are helpful for future guests. Cant always through a welcome committee either, but guests like to be left alone in my experience -always reachable by phone if not in person for any issues.

Μου άρεσε An absolute hidden gem of a place where my boys could be wild and free. We had the most perfect weekend spent here spending quality time together and away from the busy life.

Από τον διαχειριστή: That’s brilliant. Priceless moments thanks for sharing with such great pics of you all
