Why stay here ...
Penyllan Farm is owned and worked by the owners, Nigel and Sharon and their son Gordon. It is a working beef and sheep farm with an excellent livery yard and three renowned course fishing pools. The farm is set within 500 acres amongst the rolling south Wrexham countryside. During the mid-summer months it holds a regular car boot sale and is renowned as the home of North Wales's largest Fireworks display held every November. This new caravan site has hard standings with electrical hook ups and its own access drive. It is set overlooking the three ponds and is within its owned fenced area. The farm has a small shop that sells local produce including farm fresh eggs, vegetables and jams.
The farm is situated less than 2 miles to the south of Wrexham in the village of Marchwiel. Wrexham is North Wales's principal town which has the world famous St Giles Church and the tomb of Elihu Yale, the founder of Yale University. The town offers an array of national chain and local shops, local market, a University and a good selection of pubs, cafe bars, cafes and restaurants. Erddig Hall and its beautiful gardens which is one of the National Trusts jewels in the crown is within a pleasant 15 minute walk.
Within a 5 minute drive is the famous Bangor on Dee National Hunt Racecourse and the beautiful River Dee which is a magnate for game fishing. Within a 5 minute walk of the site is the River Clywedog Industrial Heritage Trail, which follows the river through the times of history. The site is surrounded by wonderful walks on miles of public footpaths.
Within a 30 minute drive is the world famous ancient Roman City of Chester with its magnificent racecourse and ancient monuments. The world famous pretty town of Llangollen is a 20 minute drive away. Closer to home, the Red Lion village country pub is a 5 minute walk away and serves real ales, has a reputation for very good food and has an even warmer welcome from the Landlords Andy & Clare. The local village has local shops and post office, but less than a 5 minute drive away are all the UK's major supermarket stores situated within Wrexham.
Nigel, Sharon and Gordon are looking forward to welcoming you to their home and know that once you have visited, Penyllan Farm will become your favourite site to visit.

Overpriced for what is a basic site
Penyllan Farm
We recently had a 2 night stay and on arrival were the only ones on site. On arrival, there was no water coming from the only drinking water tap for the CL and we tried the tap for rinsing waste which also wasn't working. I reported this to the owner who asked us to drive back up to the entrance and fill up using their hose pipe which was situated there. The water wasn't very pleasant though, not sure that this was drinking water! The problem with the water tap was rectified the following day. We had booked this site as we wanted to visit Errdig Hall (National Trust Property), please be aware though that in the 'Why Stay Here' information it states that it is a 15 minute walk away but this is incorrect. I asked the CL owner which was the best way to walk and she told us it was a long way. I checked on google maps and found that it would take 55 minutes! I would not recommend walking though as it is along a narrow twisty road with no footpaths. We took the motorhome and it was well worth the visit. We were a little mislead by the comment of a small shop on site, as it's not actually a shop but you could buy eggs and jams (not homemade though). We did buy half a dozen eggs and would definitely recommed, they were massive, with lovely golden yolks.
Overall we felt that the price of £23 per night was too much for what for us was a basic site and for this reason we would not return.
Very relaxing stay
Penyllan Farm
Excellent site, easy to find and lots of room. Sharon and Nigel were both VERY welcoming. Within easy walking distance from the local pub, which serves an excellent pint and reasonably priced food. We would thoroughly recommend this site.
Nice tranquil site
Penyllan Farm
We only booked to stay here for one night as we needed to be in the area to view a caravan we were hoping to purchase and so the location suited us perfectly. Access is easy and some distance from the road so there is little or no road noise. The fishing lakes are nice and they do seem to attract a fair amount of fishermen/women so you do get some traffic from people coming to fish but they have their own access road down to the lakes. Amenities are basic, chemical waste disposal, freshwater tap, rubbish collection point and EHU at £20 a night it seemed a little on the high side but I guess with electricity prices going through the roof this is to be expected, but it was always about location for us and it was convenient. Pub within easy walking distance, although cannot comment as we didn't go there and a small shop in the village for essentials but just 2 miles down the road there was a large Lidl or Aldi (sorry cannot remember which!) I'm not sure it's an area we would return to for holidaying but if you want to explore this part of Wales, enjoy your fishing and peace and quiet then this may be the site for you.

Penyllan Farm
lovely gem of a site with easy access. Sharon + Nigel made sure we were settled + showed us around. beautiful views over the fishing ponds of which there are 3, stocked with Perch + Carp. 5 minute drive to Wrexham and its shops and a handy base for visiting North Wales + Chester etc. Had a great few days + hopefully will be back soon. Thanks Sharon + Nigel
Peaceful and Serene
Penyllan Farm
This is a fairly new site, set within a working farm. The pitches are a little on the narrow side but the views around the campsite make up for that, they are picture postcode and the location was so peaceful, there are several fishing lakes on the site too.
This is an ideal location if you just want to unwind, relax and listen to the birds sing.
The town of Wrexham is within a 5 minute car ride and the local taxi services are very reasonably priced. There is a bus stop just outside the site but the buses are very few and far between.
There is a lovely large antique shop within a 10 minute walk from the site, which is definitely worth a look around.
Sharon was so lovely and accommodating and we will definitely be visiting again.
