Liked: Location was great for what we wanted to do & the site was very tidy. Bathrooms & utility area were clean
Disliked: It wasn’t a problem this time as the site was not busy but there are only 3 unisex bathrooms, 2 with showers - can imagine it gets quite busy at peak holiday time . I’m not a fan of unisex bathrooms but that’s maybe just me!

From the manager: Thank you for your review.
As we are a small site, and mostly get touring caravans, and they have their own toilets & showers.
Well placed super clean site

Liked: Great location and super clean facilities. Handy for the village of Trefor which has a shop a pub and a post office as well as a lovely large harbour. Easy to join the Wales coastal path and looked to be well served by buses as well. The owner obviously runs a tight ship - nothing wrong with that if it's peace and quiet and super clean facilities that you want.
Disliked: We parked at the top end and there was bit of traffic noise but nothing too bad.
