Tan Aeldroch Farm

Polubione Half an hour's drive from Conwy. Quiet site. Cheap. Scenic river

Niepolubione - No potwash facilities despite many requests by reviewers for one.
- 2 standpipes were indicated elsewhere on the site to be drinking water, but the standpipes were not labelled and one was not secure. No drainage or soakaway at one. Notices in toilets to say water at those sinks was not drinking water.
- Campsite seemed to have 2 different (English) names. Need to decide which to use and renew the very tatty signage accordingly
- Toilets - 2 steps within the individual stalls. Sit on toilet with only space for your heels on the floor in front. Sloping painted floor in rest of building which was permanently wet from hosing down or rain. Overall an accident waiting to happen.
- Site is in a valley between 2 woods, with a river going through one side. There was a view of Snowdon, but certainly not
"views across Snowdonia' as claimed in site info
- Holes burnt all over the field as the provided fire pits were metal rings that did not clear the ground
- Vicious midges active all evening and night due to situation of the site.

Polubione Beautiful secluded and peaceful setting. If you love nature, you will love it here - we spotted woodpeckers, swallows, sparrows, robins and chaffinches. Listening to the river at night was bliss! My children spent many happy hours climbing on the rocks and playing in the trees. The owners of the site were lovely and helpful.

Niepolubione The midges! Come prepared - they are relentless. (I like nature but not when it's eating me.)
There was a noisy group of young people on the second night who trashed the toilets which was a bit annoying as I thought big groups were not allowed.

Polubione Absolutely beautiful setting. Beautiful scenery, gorgeous river, wild swimming, fantastic walks, nice people. Good recycling bins.

Niepolubione Bit too basic…Could do with a few more facilities like washing up sink, Soap in all hand basins, not running out of loo roll, a few more toilets and showers, duck boards in showers, more hooks, more seating in showers and toilets.
It can be very midgey….need to be prepared for that but didn’t see that info anywhere.

Polubione Great location, very close to Betws-y-coed and the perfect base for exploring the nearby roads and mountains. The pitches are unallocated, so you can pick your own spot (there are some along the river and plenty others in the fields) and you can park right beside your pitch. Toilets and showers are in a little barn, very rustic, but clean and well-maintained. It was lovely to see sheep and lambs wander through from time to time, it really did feel like camping on a farm. There are fire pits dotted around the fields and you can buy bags of wood to burn. Friendly staff on reception gave recommendations for things to do in the area, including a great food recommendation in Betws-y-coed: Hangin' Pizzeria (best pizzas we've had in years!)

Niepolubione - Nowhere dedicated (yet) to wash dishes and pots.
- Do bring midge/mosquito repellent! We ended up leaving a day early unfortunately because we came unprepared and were eaten alive by midges on the first night.

Polubione -Picturesque field, pitch up where you like (no uniform pitches marked out) excellent if you can pitch up next to the stream.
-Walks from the campsite.
-Good location near tourist spots (we went to snowdon in 30 mins and betws-y-coed in 5mins)
-Fire pits available for use.
-New shower block is good

Niepolubione Not much,
-It was a bit busy when we were there (half term week) but no noisy neighbours so all good.
-I think its been mentioned before but a pot washing area would be useful
-No or very little signal (but that might be what you want)
