Hrista D. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric hardstanding touring pitch (large)

Liked: Had a lovely time at this site. As mentioned in other reviews, the facilies were new and kept clean and tidy. It's very well laid out and it's lovely to see these views around you. It also feels a bit more protected from the wind. We were running a bit late getting to the site but had a call to check up on us (though we didn't have signal coming in through the mountains) but I think normally they just leave info on the reception door, so we needn't have worried. The area around is beautiful and you don't have to go on a road with no pavement to get the lake and Bala itself. We stayed for 3 nights and didn't feel the need to drive out anywhere as loads of walking to be done from the site.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you Hrista for you very kind words. We're so glad that you enjoyed your stay with us and we would love to welcome you back to the site again soon. Kindest Regards, Team PYB

Local attractions

For those days where you can’t be bothered to walk too far, it’s very handy that the station for the narrow-gauge Bala Lake Railway is just five minutes’ walk away. Views of the water are a given, but count the mountains too: Arenig Fawr, Aran Fawddwy and Aran Benllyn are visible on the route. You may have your sights set on climbing Wales’ tallest mountain, perhaps. If you’re not climbing up Snowdon (an hour's drive) yourself, you might want to take the Snowdon Mountain Railway (an hour and five minutes), which has been making its ascent for over 100 years. A less strenuous trail than the Snowdon climb is the Mawddach Trail, which runs for just under 10 miles from Dolgellau (half an hour), crossing over the gorgeous Barmouth railway bridge on the other end. Coed y Brenin Forest Park (35 minutes) has plenty of trails too, through thick forest this time. You can take them on by mountain bike, standard bicycle or on foot – and there’s bike hire at the forest park.
