Liked We have just returned home after spending a week at this site with my partner and our two children. The site itself is lovely, with spacious pitches and a water tap provided at each pitch. The presence of the animals is also a welcome feature and provides an excellent opportunity for children to interact with them.

Disliked Late check-in: A 3:30 p.m. check-in time feels considerably later than that offered by many other sites, and I am unclear as to the reason for this. This was particularly frustrating because, throughout our stay, we did not see anyone cutting the grass or cleaning and preparing pitches after guests had departed at 11 a.m. There appears to be sufficient time between departures and the next check-in, so it is difficult to understand why arrivals need to be delayed until so late in the afternoon. Road Noise: Near a busy main road, and traffic noise made sleeping difficult at times, with us being woken as early as 5am most days. Insufficient toilets and showers: There are simply not enough toilet and shower facilities for the size of the site. There are only two toilets per gender, and because the showers and toilets are combined, each shower in use effectively makes one of the toilets unavailable. As a result, the facilities become heavily congested, particularly during busy periods, and queues for the toilets are not uncommon. The layout is also far from ideal. When using the shower, there is a gap beneath the partition adjoining the toilet. This means it is very easy to hear - and, unfortunately, smell -someone using the adjacent toilet. This creates a particularly uncomfortable experience and does not provide the level of privacy one would reasonably expect from suitable shower facilities. Cleanliness: The cleanliness of the toilets and showers was poor throughout our stay which made them particularly uninviting to use There were marks and stains on the walls and doors , cobwebs around the facilities, and visibly blocked filters on the extractor fans. These issues remained throughout the week and did not appear to be addressed. In fact, I attempted to clean some of the marks and dirt myself to establish whether they could be removed, and they could. The toilets were also not cleaned for extended periods of time on most days. Given the heavy use of the limited facilities, I believe they should be cleaned considerably more frequently. I appreciate that facilities can become untidy when they are heavily used. However, these were clearly issues requiring proper regular cleaning and maintenance rather than simply being the result of normal guest use. There were also occasions when no hand towels or other means of drying hands were available, which was particularly disappointing given the limited facilities and high level of use. Sewage smell: There was a strong, foul sewage-like odour coming from the toilet area, which made using the facilities particularly unpleasant. Water pressure: The water pressure across the site is extremely poor. Showering can be difficult because the flow reduces to little more than a trickle whenever water is being used elsewhere on the site. We also experienced issues with the toilet cisterns failing to refill properly after flushing, which I suspect may also be related to the poor water pressure. The hot-water taps were also faulty. Even when nobody else appeared to be using the facilities, I struggled to fill a bowl with hot water to shave. Pot-wash area: There is only one pot-wash station, which seems inadequate for the size of the site. To make matters worse, it is not illuminated, making it particularly difficult to use after dark. There is also no bin provided in the pot-wash area, which is another small but noticeable omission. Additional charges: The honesty box asks guests to pay £1 per shower. While this may be a reasonable charge in principle, it is not made clear at the time of booking. It also feels disappointing given the poor water pressure, limited facilities, and general standard of cleanliness and maintenance.

Liked We had a lovely stay at Rhos y Foel Campsite in our tent. It’s a beautiful, peaceful site with a really relaxed atmosphere and plenty of space to enjoy the outdoors. The surroundings are gorgeous and it was a great place to switch off and enjoy some proper camping. The facilities were new, modern and very clean, which made our stay even more enjoyable. Everything was well looked after and the whole site had a lovely feel to it. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back. We’d happily recommend Rhos y Foel Campsite to anyone looking for a peaceful camping getaway in beautiful surroundings. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
