A aimé We loved how remote and quiet it is. Stunning location with the little lake and the valley is beautiful. I found a couple of spots to get in the river. Spacious pitches with a bench and fire pit. The owner worked hard to chat and make sure everything was provided, even fairy liquid and sponges if you’d forgotten. Although the facilities were small, we never had a wait and it didn’t feel too busy. Pub and beach at the end of the room make it brilliant

N'a pas aimé Horse flies! Everywhere in the valley. I’m covered in bites so bring the bug spray. At least the warm weather meant fewer midges. But even then- so many birds and bats. I’ll put up with a few bites for a pristine bit of countryside. One of the kids also picked up a tiny tick from the bracken, but unfortunately this is more common everywhere.

A aimé Some nice secluded corners in a fairly large site, that does indeed feel like a remote hideaway in the hills.

A aimé Exactly as described lovely hideaway in the hills. Friendly owners more than happy to recommend local walks. Great location lots of stuff to do nearby. I loved that you can do walks directly from the campsite. All round stunning scenery.

N'a pas aimé The only thing to mention is there was a lot of animal poo on the pitches. Although I appreciate that's hard to control. At least there's lots of wildlife!

A aimé This campsite was excellent. Lovely and quiet, great welcome from the owner who works extremely hard at keeping the communal areas clean. Shower was great, lots of hot water and the same for washing up too. Would highly recommend.

A aimé Booked for 4 nights but only stayed for 1! Would not recommend.

N'a pas aimé The access road leading up to the site is unsuitable for large or even medium sized cars. It’s a long single track road with bushes and thorns either side, because of this my car is now scratched on both sides. Nowhere on the advertisement does it tell you of this and the only email received is on the morning of the booking (when it’s non refundable). If we would have known about this beforehand we would have chosen not to stay here. The facilities also need attention; there is only one shower & toilet in the male block which is not feasible for the size of the site. Also my partner had noticed that the shower head was loose and had to screw this back on in order to get a shower. The facilities need to be cleaned more frequently with hand towels or paper being provided as the hand dryer is no use. Speaking to the owners was difficult as every time I went up the house/reception they were nowhere to be found.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for your feedback.
We make our rural setting clear on the listing, which describes us as a “Hideaway in the Hills,” and provide a location map to help guests prepare. We advise using the Llanbedr route as it’s the shortest and most practical approach, with passing bays and a more gradual incline. The final stretch is single-track, but it’s well-travelled by vehicles of all sizes — including delivery vans, emergency services, tractors, and 10ft-wide static caravans — so it is suitable for cars. Understandably, country lanes aren’t to everyone’s taste, but they’re a part of the area’s character.

The hedgerows along the approach are the responsibility of the council which are trimmed in late June. The timing is intentional to support local wildlife during nesting season.

Our toilet block is simple, clean and functional, and it meets the model standards for our number of pitches. The shower head is a swivel design and not broken — though we’ve checked it to confirm it’s in good working order. The hand dryer, while not the most powerful, is operational and there are no plans to replace it. Cleaning is carried out regularly to maintain hygiene and comfort for guests.

While we’re not at reception full-time, we live on site and are typically around maintaining the grounds, cleaning, or assisting other guests.

We appreciate all feedback and continually strive to improve, but it’s worth noting that we currently have an overall score of 8.8 from over 110 reviews. Many guests praise the cleanliness of our facilities, the peaceful location, and the welcoming, informative atmosphere we aim to provide.

A aimé Peaceful rural location
Friendly managers
Good but basic facilities
Good price
