Liked The location of the site was absolutely stunning. Waking up to a view of the hills and valleys every morning is something we did not tire off. Being situated away from the main roads also meant that the area was very peaceful. The owners of the site were extremely friendly and helpful. We saw them a couple of times during our stay and it was lovely to stop and have conversations. The pitch itself was a great size and gave us ample room to set up our touring caravan and awning. Our dogs had plenty of room to roam on their long-line leads! The shared amenities were always clean and stocked. We'd absolutely be staying here again!!

Disliked It could have been the times that I had used the shower / wash-up area but there were a couple of occasions where the water didn't get hot.

Liked The site is situated in such a quiet and scenic part of Criccieth. We have a touring caravan and booked to stay on the electric grass pitch, which given the warmer weather, we had no problems getting on and off. We preferred this pitch style with having dogs so it provided somewhere comfier to lie and the grass pitches have the benefit to being 'unlimited' in size. The amenities on site were clean and tidy and provided everything you need for comfortable stay. For us, the added benefit of a dog walking field provides a great spot to take your dogs to in a morning and evening away from the site itself.

Disliked Not enough showers for the amount of pitches available at the site. There is one shower per ladies and gents and they four additional. We were at the site at a busier time so at times there could be quite a queue for wanting a shower!

Liked The owners of the site are there to greet you on arrival and were extremely accommodating given we have a continental touring caravan! They also took the time to show us where things were within the site. I couldn't fault the amenities on site, the shower blockers were superb and the addition of music playing in there was a nice touch! Everything was always clean and to a high standard. We had a large pitch which catered for our caravan, awning and 2 cars so there was plenty of room to make it feel like home. We personally liked the fact that this site is adults only, especially with visiting over a bank holiday weekend.. it was a very quiet and peaceful site. The location is perfect! Given we attended at the start of the heatwave, being situated in a valley surrounded by the slate quarry meant there was next to know wind! There is a pub or two with a couple of shops within walking distance of the site but it was also 30 minutes drive from some of our favourite spots in the area.

Disliked As we have dogs, personally it would be great if some of the pitches had a little bit of grass for them to lie on etc as it's a little bit more comfortable than gravel. However, the gravel didn't stop our dogs from sunbathing!

Liked Fantastic site! The owner was lovely and welcoming upon arrival and takes the time to show you the site and where to find things. The site was extremely clean with modern and fantastic facilities. Everything was kept on top of. We had an XL pitch which catered for our 5 berth caravan, awing and car! The site is a stones throw from the lake and a 10 minute walk into Bala village. Plenty of beautiful sites and sceneries, spoiling you for choice on where to walk. We'd absolutely book to stay here again.

Disliked Nothing.
