Pen Y Bont Touring and Camping Park

Ik was blij met: Grate site roomy pitches spotless site
Modern toilet and shower facilities
Friendly staff

Ik was niet zo blij met: Nothing to dislike
If being fussy the road noise could be an issue
Just a note the trip in from the A5 do not take the B class road stay on A5 until the A roads

Van de manager: Thank you Andrew! Come and see us again soon! 😊

Ik was blij met: Lovely tidy site and friendly helpful staff

Ik was niet zo blij met: Packed in too close together. Actually felt claustrophobic! Shower facilities actually not great. Water so hot it could burn you or so tepid you were cold. No control over temperature. Signs of mold and plenty of spiders to keep you company. Expensive for what it was. On a busy main road!

Van de manager: We're glad you enjoyed the site and staff here at Pen Y Bont but understandably we are disappointed by the rest of your review.
Sorry to hear you felt claustrophobic however the pitches do have the standard spacing required for touring pitches and if you were unhappy, maybe you should have come and spoken to us to see if there was an alternative pitch that you were more comfortable on? There is absolutely nothing we can do to resolve a problem after you have left but if we are made aware at the time, we will try our hardest to rectify the issue.
The temperature of the water in the amenity block is set to one temperature (approx. 40C I believe) to avoid scalding and this is to ensure the safety of everyone including young children, so no there is no control of this for guests. Sometimes the showers do run cold if we have a full site and everyone is trying to use them at the same time and this is something we are working on with our plumber to improve and hopefully fix.
Again, did you bring the issues you had with mould and spiders to the attention of the staff while you were staying? The amenity block is cleaned at least 3 times a day and we take great pride in it - with most guests commenting on how it looks brand new. I'm afraid spiders are part and parcel of camping really...the windows are open in the amenity block to allow for ventilation and we can't really stop our eight legged friends coming and going as they please, however we do try and remove and unwanted visitors as well as their webs. 🕷
The site is located off a B-road with a 40mph limit, admittedly it can become busy, especially during peak season but not to the extent that it affects the peace and quiet of the site.
Sorry to hear that you would not recommend us or visit again but we hope any prospective guests looking to stay with us, reading this review, take note and come and talk to us with any issues so that we can try our hardest to make their stay as fantastic as possible!

Ik was blij met: The site is immaculate. Amazing.

Ik was niet zo blij met: Nothing. Needs possible a cafe

Van de manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, very much appreciated. Not sure why you think we need a cafe on site when there are plenty of eating places 10 minutes down the road, but we appreciate your thoughts.

Kind Regards

Ik was blij met: Everything about the site, clean, tidy, well laid out and landscapes. Staff are fantastic, willing to sort out problems without hesitation. Low flying area, no need to go to the Mach loop. Steam railway outside the site. Bala town a short stroll away, for food shopping etc.

Ik was niet zo blij met: Nothing really, its by the side of a main road but the road noise not too intrusive.

Ik was blij met: Lovely facilities, quiet at night, perfect location to Bala Lake, clean

Ik was niet zo blij met: Dogs not on leads, luckily we didn't bring our dog however owners should keep dogs on lead at all times. Constant barking of dogs

Van de manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review Yasmin - we're glad you enjoyed your stay and the facilities we have to offer here at Pen Y Bont.
I can only apologise for other guests not keeping their dogs on a lead but if it is not brought to our attention at the time, there is little we can do. We always urge people to come and talk to us straight away about any problems and usually they can be rectified easily. Unfortunately, leaving the comments in a review won't resolve anything.
We are a pet friendly site and love welcoming four legged friends to the site but we do expect their owners to respect the site, our rules and fellow campers 🐾
We hope to welcome you back in the future.

Kind Regards,
Team PYB
