Excellent location .clean and tidy. Tea/coffee and biscuits supplied.
Belle shepherd's hut (hot tub)
Liked We stayed in Belle shepherd's hut which was spacious and had everything you need for your stay.
It was clean and well presented. Hot tub was a bonus.
Disliked Would have preferred a little.more privacy around hot tub area as it felt a little overlooked.Also the jet was a tad too powerful and was located right behind seated area. Turned it down but was hardly noticeable and ineffective. BED WAS A BIT HARD FOR MY LIKING.

Liked We had a great time ! Close to the lake to enjoy the water sports and also relaxing taking in the scenery.
The site was beautiful and very well maintained. The facilities were clean and in good working order and the staff were really friendly. I would highly recommend.

FHU cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite (XL)
Liked Immaculate site throughout. Beautiful landscaping and care to the grounds. Newish and spotless toilet/shower block, usual motorhome services, huge flat pitch overlooking fields, small on-site shop, super friendly young lady in reception. Couple of minutes walk to the lake, 10mins flat walk in to Bala where there are plenty of cafes, pubs and a few shops.

Beautiful, clean, quiet & so relaxing!
6M FHU cement/asphalt campervan campsite
Liked We absolutely love this campsite! It is beautifully maintained and super relaxing!
The location is perfect for a slow weekend in nature, it's quiet, clean, very beautiful and just a short walk into Bala's high street & to the lake for ice cream and watersports.
The facilities are amazing! The toilets & showers are kept so clean and fresh!! We just love it here!
Disliked Maybe would make buying fire wood available out of hours for the shop, maybe an honesty box or something.... but this is in no way a downside, just a suggestion as we needed firewood around 6pm and couldn't access any close to the site at this time.

From the manager: Thank you so much Mel!! 😁😁
It was a pleasure having you here at Pen Y Bont and we looking forward to hopefully welcoming you back very soon! It means the world to receive a review like this, it makes all the hard work worth it.
We will take the suggestion on board regarding the fire wood and see what we can do.
Thank you again, Team PYB ❤
Would stay on site again for a longer time to explore the area more.
