Llys-y-frân Lakeview Campsite

Ik was blij met The facilities were clean. The manager was friendly and helpful. The bike track and activity centre were right on the doorstep.

Ik was niet blij met The pitches were really small. There is lighting everywhere so unless you have a blackout tent take an eye mask as I probably could have read a book at 2am. The site manager allowed me to cover the light outside my tent with a towel on the second night, which helped a bit. No fire pits or bbqs allowed.

Van de manager: Thank you for your comments. We are sorry you felt our pitches were 'Really Small. They do in fact measure 9x9M which is far larger than the standard 8x5m. We have taken on board your comments with regard to the lights.. BBQ's and Fires are not allowed due to the site being a conservation area (this is made clear when booking).

Ik was blij met Everything, in fact the day we left we turned around and came back for another 2 nights.

Ik was niet blij met Nothing, well the weather was a bit pants but that's the UK for you.

Van de manager: Ahhh Thanks for the lovely review.

Ik was blij met Site was very well ran and staff very helpful. Clean and well kept pitches and views beautiful

Van de manager: Thank you, we hope to see you again in the future.

Ik was blij met We stayed for two nights. Kayaking on the lake was great as was the mountain biking with the off track runs. Facilities were excellent and in particular the toilets, showers and washing up area. The staff on-site were very helpful and friendly - they really went out of their way to make the stay special. The cafe and selection of food was varied with nice tasting chips and great flat white coffee:)

Van de manager: Thank you for your kind words. I can concur the Flat Whites are great. We will pass your comments on to the cafe and activity teams.

Ik was blij met Lovely pitch, close to showers and toilets. Quiet and tidy. Staff very pleasant. Lovely views of the reservoir and great walks.

Van de manager: Thank you so much - Great photos

Ik was blij met It's a stunning and serene place to stay. The landscaping has been well thought out. The pitches are excellent. The shower facilities are spotless and have constant running water ........ seasoned campers will know that is a rarity. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Looking forward to our next visit 😀

I didn't take picture because they don't do the site justice ........ although a bride and groom arrived in a horse drawn carriage to have photos taken ....... speaks volumes

Van de manager: Thank you so much for you lovely review. We are so pleased your had a great stay. We look forward to see you again

Ik was blij met Location and facilities.

Ik was niet blij met Kids playing ball sports on unoccupied pitches.
Sign written commercial vehicles on site.
Vehicles being parked next to caravans and tents, not adhering to the 6m rules.
Items being thrown for dogs to retrieve in the direction of unoccupied pitches.
Children arriving back on site, laden with trout, caught on spinners. (Did they even buy a fishing ticket, as they obviously didn't read the rules ?)
I had a breakfast which was really nice, but surely a pot of tea would constitute two tea bags compared to a cup that would include one? Not everyone likes weak tea!
As someone that abides by rules, that I presume you stipulate for a reason, it doesn't sit well with me.
If there's no catch return, and no one checking who's fishing and whether they have a permit, then who knows what the stock levels are?
I hope you find my reply useful?

Ik was blij met The location is fantastic, DCWW have done a great job of turning an important water resource into a tourist destination. The campsite was clean, pitches were generous in size.

Ik was niet blij met Slightly narrow to get a tourer in if you haven’t got a motor mover (or someone to guide you in).

Van de manager: Thank you so much for your kind words.

Ik was blij met How is clean Facilities & showers and pitch size good. Amazing views.

Ik was niet blij met Shop shut earlier than advertised on Friday night.

Van de manager: Thank you for your review. We are glad you loved the pitches and views. Our reception and gift shop does close at 5:00pm and depending on how busy we are with arrivals, the warden can't always keep it open until 6pm. We do apologise for this.

Ik was blij met Scenery, pitches, facilities good. Make sure you bring everything with you for your stay as only small fridge selling few items.
Cafe onsite but food very average.

Ik was niet blij met Ball games played on empty pitches as no area close by for football. Every child had a ball, including our grandson.
Not able to kayak due to sailing race but not advertised so we were unaware until we arrived at site, grandson disappointed.

Van de manager: Thank you for your review. We do try to stop children playing football on the unoccupied pitches and encourage them use the vast green spaces in country park, but we can't police this all the time unfortunately. We hope hope it didn't effect your stay with us too much. With regard to your Kayak comment, I have pass this on to our activities team.
