A aimé Fantastic site. Perfect for a couple of nights away with friends and our children.
Lots of recent reviews about the toilets but they were fine for the entirety of our stay, being cleaned and stocked up regularly. That's the portal loos around the field and the permanent loos. We didn't use the porta showers but they looked very nice.
There is access to a river right behind the campsite, great for wild swimming or paddling. Short 20min drive to the beach and Dolgellau is about a mile away, with lots of places to eat.
The field allows plenty of space for the kids to play and run about.
We had a fire both evenings in our fire pit, logs purchased on site.

N'a pas aimé There was a generator or something running all night, busy road and dogs on a nearby property barking till quite late, which meant it wasn't the most peaceful nights sleep. However the river flowing in the background was peaceful.
Although the toilets were clean and well stocked, the flooring is in need of repair.

A aimé Lovely views and lots of space. Staff there to welcome on arrival. Great location for walks and exploring the local area. Showers nice and warm. River accessible from site nice to paddle in with a tyre swing for kids to play on.

N'a pas aimé Toilets in need of some repairs to the actual building. Big crack in the floor in one cubicle and some of the other flooring felt very spongy. Website and booking terms and conditions state no large groups, quiet from 10pm and dogs always on leads. We got back from a daytrip part way through the week to find a big group with 6 tents, gazebos etc had set up next to us. Must have been about 20 people in total. No issues with that in itself, however they had music playing until well after 11pm most nights, and a dog off lead running around the site visiting other campers nearby. No staff around when we were there to speak to so texted the number on the booking. No response and no attempt made to rectify the situation. Went over to talk to the group on the last night just after 11pm to ask them to keep it down.

A aimé Great site with good pitch selection toilets placed around the site and a main toilet block at the main entrance, you can see the farmer is investing in the site with new toilet and shower facilities being built.

A aimé Loved the location, loved the service.

N'a pas aimé Dated toilet facilities.

A aimé Scenery, area, walks, river, showers. and availability was good at short notice, but there is a reason for that…..
I have given 2 stars as the location and scenery were fantastic.

N'a pas aimé It’s a big field with electric hook up down the middle. There are portaloo’s dotted around the perimeter but didn’t venture there.
The actual toilets are disgusting, not been cleaned in months(properly that is) No door on the gents, urinals in full view. The floor in one of the ladies has caved in
No hot water for washing hands in toilets. Hand drying facilities is a roll of loo paper.
The dishwashing facility is a sink outdoors, no cover, no light and again no hot water.
The pitches are a free for all, no demarcation, go out for the day and someone is in your spot when you get back.
There is little levelish ground
The “Elsan DisposalPoint” is a hole in the ground that stinks, with all sorts of rubbish in it.
No grey water drain point for motorhomes
The road to the site is very narrow, the hedges and trees could be trimmed back to help caravaners and motor homers.
Pictures won’t upload as “too small”.
A real shame it would not take a lot to make this a great site.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thanks for your feedback.
2/10 is quite unusual and unexpected. As you probably saw during your visit, we are in the process of improving our facilities by building a new toilet / shower block, along with new dishwashing facilities. However, we continue to ensure that the exisiting facilities are cleaned regularly but understand that they are dated.
We adversite ourselves as a relaxing, "laid-back" site, where we allow guests to choose their own spot (given it's a 9 acre field, there's always prenty of space for everyone).
Perhapes we were not the site for you.
Thanks again.

A aimé Huge space with lovely mountain views. The plus for me was to watch the cows across the field. Lovely hot showers and clean facilities.

A aimé We really enjoyed our stay, really great pitch with plenty of space! Amazing walks on the campsite and close too the campsite! Staff were very pleasant! The toilets were basic and some damage to the floor however were kept clean and stocked! Showers were hot with space for your items, 100% would recommend and will be back!

A aimé The campsite has a beautiful view of the mountains and is very clean. The staff are friendly and helpful. The showers are fine, but a big downside is the dishwashing area – only one sink for the whole campsite, and with cold water only. On the positive side, there’s a stunning path along the river which really leaves an impression.

N'a pas aimé only one sink for the whole campsite with cold water only.
