Fully-serviced concrete slab caravan site (XL)
Liked: Lovely looking site, wonderfully clean and tidy.
Disliked: Not really a dislike but just to mention you are not actually on the lake but afew minutes walk down the road. No issue other than if wanting to paddle board etc straight from site then you actually can’t.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review Joanne, we're so glad you enjoyed your stay with us.
We do not actually advertise that we are on the lake, our site info states "This peaceful place is just a few hundred metres from the shore of Bala Lake" so I feel it is slightly unfair to mark us down for this. You can easily walk to the lake from the site - roughly 5mins to the nearest launch point and maybe 10-15 minutes' walk to the lake shore and water sports centre.
Great site

Fully-serviced concrete slab caravan site (XL)
Liked: Lovely facilities, friendly staff, great pitch size, good value, great location to Bala, great walking and watersports nearby
Disliked: No WiFi
Lot of tree sap and debris to watch out for on some pitches, ours was affected, most of the pitches are not.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you Rebecca 😊 we're glad you enjoyed your stay with us and we hope to see you again soon.
There is Wi-Fi but by our own admission it is not very good and this is something we are trying to work with the owner to improve. There is very little we can do about the tree sap at this time of year though, sorry...
Good site but would definitely benefit from a park

8M fully-serviced concrete slab caravan site
Liked: Toilets where excellent, site was very clean and tidy
Disliked: Pitch was poor in my opinion not the easiest to get onto with the caravan as not much room in front to pull forward, ground was hard standing but very difficult to peg the awning as nothing much under the gravel to grab too. Pitches are also on quite a steep hill which it doesn't show on the oictures not ideal for kids on there bikes, Lots of noisy people in tents around us aswell playing football at 7am isn't ideal. Also no park for the kids
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review and so glad that you enjoyed our facilities which we are very proud of. As for the pitch itself it was a fully serviced 8 m pitch which you had booked , very level and a fantastic view. We have had no complaints about any difficulty in pegging awnings and to get to the pitch you had to drive up a small hill, would hardly say it was steep as we the staff walk up there on a regular basis! We do not advertise that we have a children's play area as there are 2 very good ones within walking distance to town. The warden was on duty every night and there was no noise in any tents at night, but if you have early risers around you wanting to play football as they were on holiday too, not a lot we can do about that I'm afraid,
Kind Regards
