Riverside Pod camping pod
Liked: Despite the weather we had a brilliant stay! The pod was perfectly cosy and comfy. With electric and heating it was just what was needed after busy days , hiking, exploring and paddle boarding at Bala lake. We had our own fire pit at the pod too, which was fab and the kids loved sitting around, making smores and star gazing while listening to the the river next to us. The facilities were excellent too, toilets were always clean, hot showers every time and regularly cleaned! The only slight let down for me was the freezer. But that's something that can be easily fixed! Coffee machine, small shop and the fresh milkshakes we're an added treat! Will definitely come again. Great camp site, if you love camping. First time for us glamping will definitely do it again!
Disliked: Could only get WiFi at the toliet block

Electric grass pitch
Liked: Pitch size was great and the site was broken up into smaller sections, so didn’t feel overcrowded. Facilities were impeccable and very good. Small onsite shop, and hot drink, ice cream and milk/milkshake vending machines. Access to river and walks. No/poor phone service but Wi-Fi. Loved it!
