Liked: Beautiful clean site, really enjoyed our stay. Only thing I think could make it a little better is an extra washing up area, two sinks didn't seem enough for the amount of pitches, but we did stay at a busy time.

Liked: Site clean, good location.
Disliked: Kids running around tents and cars playing ball games and throwing things. (There are no ball games signs not enforced.) Pitches not level and too close together. Nothing to do if the weather is poor.

Liked: Everything! Great break, level pitches, clean and well maintained lovely site. Excellent location to lake and town, will definitely return.
Disliked: Now I’m being really picky here, hot water for washing up could be a bit hotter and please can we have a hook by sinks for hanging tea towels on while washing up :)
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you Carrie for your kind words very much appreciated and yes I think hooks by the washing up area would be a good idea and we will get on to it!! See you again soon. Kind Regards Team PYB

Liked: Lovely clean site, stunning clean toilet block. Nice tiered site. Reception well stocked. No hesistation to book again. Good signal with Vodafone/Lebara
Disliked: Just the usual British Weather. Didnt have a dedicated Kids Play Area. Which seemed a shame
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Diolch Mair, thank you for taking the time to leave a review and so glad that you enjoyed your stay with us. Unfortunatley we have nowhere on site for a children's play area but there are two playing parks within walking distance from the site. We look forward o seeing you again in the future. Kind Regards Team PYB

Liked: Position to Bala Facilities spotless showers ,toilets all well maintained On site shop
Disliked: pitch 51a on a slope and on its own Much better tent pitches on outskirts of site
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your kind words, we're glad you enjoyed the location and facilities. I think P51a is a bit like marmite - people either love that it's away on it's own or they don't... and it isn't the flattest of pitches, fair comment but if you position yourself right, it can be lovely. We hope to see you another time, maybe request your preferred pitch on booking, and we'll see what we can do 😊 Kind Regards, Team PYB
