Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Clean toilets, great space, great location, nice views, use of fire.

Small group of inconsiderate people 2 men 1 woman 1 man was kindly asked to lower the music he ignore and hired it then was very rowdy after midnight. Weekend cut short due to this.

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Lovely little camp, Good pub!! Area was clean, grass well cut.

Disliked: Not a dislike as such just a recommendation - nowhere to hang clothes or put toiletries in the bathrooms, could do with some hooks and a small shelving unit for us women who have a lot of stuff 😂

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Liked everything from minute we got here the staff are so friendly. We had trouble finding an electric hook up as I think we got here last and one didn't work but cosied up close to another van and found a working hook up. The food is amazing high quality nosh a little pricey but worth every mouthful. Daughter liked the games room and had a game of darts. Showers nice and hot next morning will defo stay again.

Disliked: Some woman bunked in front of us in the queue for food that's not a slur on the site just other ignorant people.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Fantastic shower block and toilet facilities. Staff are very welcoming, informative and friendly. Food at the site pub is incredible. The site is well kept and clean overall. Beautiful surroundings and a great quiet atmosphere.

Disliked: It is a shame there is no play area for the children on site. The facilities did get rather smelly on the second day that we were there and could have been cleaned. Unfortunately, there were a lot of dog owners that left there dog poop around the lake area. Maybe some bins?

Local attractions

Active sorts can soon be out on hiking jaunts from Betws-y-Coed (15 minutes’ drive), or adventures on trails in Gwydir Forest Park (20 minutes). If you’d like to increase the adrenaline levels further, try the artificial surfing wave at Adventure Parc Snowdonia (half an hour), or zipwire over the quarry lake and bounce around on subterranean nets in the former lead mine at Zip World Llechwedd (also half an hour). If you’re keen to mix in some cultural time, explore the rugged relics of Dolwyddelan Castle (25 minutes), or tour the towers and ramparts at medieval Conwy Castle (40 minutes). Nip over the Menai Bridge to the Isle of Anglesey (50 minutes), where you can wander the formal waterfront gardens at National Trust - Plas Newydd House and Gardens (55 minutes) and snoop around the 18th-century mansion. Treat well-behaved kids to sightings of endangered snow leopards and red pandas at the Welsh Mountain Zoo (45 minutes). Round off your day by surprising everyone with afternoon tea at The Riverside Chocolate House in Pentrefoelas (five minutes), where you can gorge on handmade chocs and take some home as Welsh souvenirs.
