A aimé : Great welcome on arrival and the team are so friendly and down to earth.

Lots of open space and lots he views over the hills are incredible. The sunset over he mountains was beautiful

Lots of open space and places to “wild camp” whilst not being too far from the car

A aimé : The views.

N'a pas aimé: Our pitch was over tree roots. Not sure it was even a pitch. We couldn’t put up our tent fully and the ground sloped significantly. You will need to be fairly fit to get to pitches. Car park was a long way away, so best take all you can. To top it all, a group kept everyone awake till 3am with their drum and bass music. There is nobody to contact in situations like this, so we complained in the morning. We booked for two nights but left after our first night. Won’t be returning.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Firstly I will address the isuue of the group who were noisy. We have always hosted groups successfully but the group in question fell far below the behaviour we expect from our guests. We have now changed our rules for excepting groups and this sort of behaviour will nott be tolerated. However we had 2 members of staff in the Wild Camping area who you could have approached to complain but please accept my apologies for what you found disturbing.

I am afraid that your complaint about the tree root could easily have been rectified by moving the place a little where you set up and it is clear in ourr listing that you will be asked to put your car in the car park after unloading. I think the bottom line is you chose the wrong venue for your camping trip. Other than your review we have 98% 10/10 reviews so can only put it down to personal choice

A aimé : The scenery was amazing, it was a taste of wild camping with a shower and toilets. Nice staff. Close to some beautiful trails. A lot of wooded areas nearby that are like from fairytales. Also nice to be able to buy wood there for campfires. Honestly by far one of my favourite campsites due to the terrain.

N'a pas aimé: Not a dislike but suggestion - they should consider selling some camping essentials on site as we ran out of gas on our stove and it’s quite a rural area so come prepared.

Also a tip if you’re going and want to avoid wind set up camp a bit lower on the campsite.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for your kind words. I'm pleased to say we are currently converting a shepherd's hut into a campsite shop where you will be able to buy essentials as well fresh eggs from our hens and other foodstuffs

A aimé : The hosts are so very friendly and kind. They give you a full tour of the facilities upon arrival, and are happy to accommodate any needs you may have if they are able to.

For example, I arrived early on in the afternoon (about 4ish) and have kitted my car out to sleep in, and they let me park up in a spot nearer the house (with a BEAUTIFUL view to boot) and camp there as it was free when I arrived (I had provisions for tent camping, I just feel much safer travelling alone as a young woman knowing I’m in a lockable steel box than a piece of fabric).

The shower is very nice, warm, controllable temperature, clean. The toilets are also very clean.

They also happily gave me and a few other guests a historical background on the property as we were interested. Very interesting !

Also very close to Betws-Y-Coed, with gorgeous sites and activities.

All in all a fantastic experience, will absolutely be back if/when I’m back in the area 🙌🏼

N'a pas aimé: I suppose one could say there is just a cold tap with some grass and moss below it for dish washing facilities. Workable, but if your creature comforts like a sink and hot water are of high importance to you, then perhaps this may not be the site for you. I would however recommend you don’t let it stop you from staying here and experiencing all that the venue, hosts, and area have to offer :)

A aimé : Friendly welcome on arrival, got shown around potential pitches and we picked the one that worked best for us from the ones available.
Liked the pitches being spread out and "wild". It is definitely a "wilder" area, with sloped hillside pitches for the most part - we were expecting this based on other reviews so were fine with it but it does seem to catch some people out. There were a few other groups but the wind in the trees and bird song drowned out any other noise and it felt a lot more secluded which was nice :)
Due to wet weather the paths were very boggy and the quad couldn't go up, not an issue for us and just meant a few trips to carry items, left car at reception for this (the car park is a bit further).
Toilets were clean with paper & antibac gel stocked through visit, water point also available

A aimé : Amazing pitch site, lovely warm welcome and staff were nice.

N'a pas aimé: Booking as a lone female, setting up camp on my own, BBQ a fire so I was fine -just wanting some headpeace, I wasn’t left alone as much as I wanted tho, I didn’t have long there but wanted to take it all in on my own with my dog; I think one of the workers took a shine to me, kept coming over an taking over when the sunset was happening an my dinner was overcooked by the time he left ; I’m Not one to tell someone to go away as it’s nice meeting new people but when I’ve booked to camp alone I’d like to be alone with my dog, I would of thought he would of took a hint an not keep asking for my number. There was loud music or tv at night when he left, an while I was enjoying a gorgeous morning with my dog I heard loud music from this workers tent nearby, so I got angry and left earlier than expected to chase waterfalls as I couldn’t relax listening to loud music when it’s supposed to be relaxing; also when I was packing up, I was getting changed an packing my bag he was stood outside my tent waiting to catch me to chat in morning, but I was trying to get packed an changed in my tent so that made me feel weird so left quickly, his dog was nice so probs wanted to see my dog before I left but just felt odd that as I didn’t feel I could shout anything as I was trying to change and pack but I saw he just stood waiting; lovely lad and his dog was so gorgeous but just wish I had more time to myself to enjoy the peace. Made me anxious he was going to come over at the slightest noise I made. Felt safe as a lone woman just personal preference to be left alone.

Réponse du gestionnaire : I am so sorry your peace was disturbed I can honestly say this has never happened I can assure you that this will never happen again. We would like to offer you a free stay as we are proud of our site and the tranquillity just give me an email or phone call when you'd like to come

A aimé : Stunning location - really felt like we were in the wild.
Steven helped us take our stuff to the top section in the trailer of the quad - worth a little trek for the location.
Lovely walk to the lake.
Definitely be back

N'a pas aimé: Having to go home 🤣

A aimé : A beautiful campsite with a wild camping theme that has plenty of great camping spots to choose from each with lovely stone campfires ready to be used. Some people have mentioned having issues with phone signal/coverage, I managed to get a decent signal with EE (which could be a bad thing if you need something to keep you off the phone lol).

N'a pas aimé: No toilets or shower in the Winter due to issues with frozen pipes. Not their fault, just something to keep in mind.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for your kind review . I just wanted to say we have toilet facilities available in the house but we should be able to re-open the block soon.
