Friendly welcome

Arrived at the site to a friendly welcome, given a choice of pitches. The pitch we were on had electric, water and a waste water point so like a fully serviced pitch. The view from the site is stunning. The facilities on site are rather dated, there are 2 showers with toilets and 1 other toilet, there was a queue for both the toilet and the showers on the last day we were there. There is also a kitchen with large sink, fridge freezer and washing machine. On the down side the dogs from the farm were allowed to roam freely on the site, they sometimes left evidence of this either by stealing anything left out or leaving small “deposits”. The small deposits were cleaned away, I’m assuming by John.

Very windy

Stayed at this site in June 2022 as it was on top of a hill it was very windy. The site is well kept and has the necessary facilities however I have realised when it states in the site directory shared toilet and shower it probably means another caravan site separated by a hedge has the use of all the amenities. This is the case in this instance my wife tried to use the washing machine but gave it up in the end. however as said before the site is very well kept and the owner was always available to help. But beware it you are expecting CL with 5 pitches this not the case.

Beautiful views, excellent facilities and great wifi!

The views from the CL site are amazing - 360 degrees with views of Snowdon. Our advice would be to listen to John's advice about where to pitch, as he knows the winds and sun direction - I think we were all amazed that our air awning survived the battering, as when it blows, boy does it blow! We recommend storm straps on each corner when it's windy to stop the rocking. The showers and loos were very clean, although we mainly use our own, and there was also a wash-up sink, freezer and fridge, washing machine (20 min wash for £1 was excellent). There was a games room, ideal for youngsters, with a few books and magazines and a TV. I work from home in the van, so this was my husbands bolt hole, watching TV whilst the washing washed! If you also work when travelling, the free wifi was excellent with only a couple of times when I had to tether to my phone. There is another field behind the CL site but it was never full whilst we were there and there were, but if full it could detract from the peace of the CL site. We managed to see and hear Tawny and Little Owls (on the end of the barn roof at night) There is a lovely walk around the nearby reservoir in Cefni forest down the road, Beaumaris Gaol and Courthouse are excellent, and the Anglesey Motor Museum is great for a rainy day. Go to Port Eilian lighthouse to see the porpoises, seals at South Stack (puffins in the summer) and beautiful Bangor Pier. We had several trips on the Welsh Highland Railway, which was excellent, and went halfway on the Snowdon Mountain Railway, but I'd leave that one until it goes to the top once again and avoid school holidays! If you like churches, St Cwyfans and Tal-y-Lyn are small but so beautiful. We don't eat out much, but the Kinmel Arms was great on both occasions and has good disabled access if needed. A lovely 3 weeks on a lovely site with panoramic views!

Top of the world

Returning for our second visit and you never get bored of the stunning scenery and peaceful surroundings. Easy to find along a typically narrow Anglesey road with easy access onto the field, there are two fields here, one exclusively for us CMC members, each well maintained grass pitch benefits from EHU your own personal fresh water tap and grey waste drainage, basically a super pitch, then the adjoining field which can accommodate up to 10 units for none club members or overflow separated by a 4ft high wire fence in an L shape affair, the field has a slight slope but John is always on hand on arrival to help you pitch up with blocks provided, John and his wife work hard to ensure your welcome and stay is bob on. Toilet and shower facilities & a fully equipped games room in an old barn are available to guests however we use our own caravan facilities but John ensures they are kept clean daily. There’s a large adjacent field to exercise the pooch on & a paddock with horses so bring a carrot or two. This site is exposed to the elements so if your bringing the awning bring your storm ties but the pay off is the most incredible feeling of being on top of the world, 360o views from Snowdonia to the Irish Sea with the incredible breathtaking Anglesey countryside in between, at one point I could hear nothing but the wind in my ears and the sound of nature. Fully recommend this dog friendly site to families or couples, johns dog Jess often roams about the vans, slightly deaf and blind but simply too cute not to give a good hug & a doggy great to. If you have never been to Anglesey, come, it’s simply stunning with its own micro climate, incredible beaches and unspoilt coves, great dining experiences and pubs, Beaumaris and Red Wharf Bay is not too far and a great day out. Whether your into chilling with a good book and a bottle of something naughty or an active holiday with water sports galore, Anglesey has something for everyone. Enjoy!

Very friensly Site, beautiful surroundings.

Firstly, can I begin by saying when we arrived the weather was awful, and the site was waiting for the arrival of Tropical storm Ernesto, on our arrival we were met by John, what a lovely fella, duly showed us to our pitch and showed us were the facilities were.although it was blowing a gale with horizontal rain. it was windy during the two nights stay mainly due to the storm but we did have a few dry spells to appreciate the views and the site. very nice showers and toilets. the site is made up of a cl with a small stand alone campsite which having spoke to other vanners here, they were regular visitors and I cant fault them I would too if we didn't live 4 hrs away. they are dog friendly and fairly relaxed about dogs, and they had a lovely dog jess who is almost blind and roams the site making friends with everyone. although please exercise some common sense. horses in the paddock to one side and cows in the field on the other. next visit to Angelsey this is a definite revisit. and hopefully find some better weather next time.

What a gem

I booked this site about 9 months in advance, and was very glad I did, as its very popular, and books up really quickly. This site is amazing, with lovely spacious pitches, each with their own tap, and waste water drain. John (owner) helped with pitching the caravan, as the site is on a bit of a slope. Each pitch has its own leveling block ready for you to use, so very easy to get the van level. The views are totally amazing, and you may just find that you don't want to leave the site, but just chill and take in the views. The whole of Anglesey is within very easy reach. The local village is only about 1.5miles away and has a small shop for basic provisions, with a big Morrisons and Tesco in Holyhead if you want to do a big shop. The toilets and showers were lovely and clean, although the floors do slope the wrong way, so you do need to spend a few mins mopping up afterwards, but that's no big deal. The showers were £1 which I thought was very reasonable, considering that would last for at least 20 mins. There's also another separate toilet. There was also a very useful washing machine and freezer. A games room, with free wi-fi was a useful addition, and seemed to be very well used. I did see a review, which said it was dark in the games room, simple answer, put the lights on. If you have family wanting to visit the area at the same time, but don't want them, or have room for them in your van, then there's a simple answer. Sarah does B&B in the farmhouse, and there's a beautiful static avail for hire (not on CL site, but by the house), the static is a very competitive price, and we are even thinking of using it the next time we visit, instead of dragging the van up from Kent. The lanes were a bit narrow, but what else would you expect. You can't have a lovely peaceful site, with beautiful views with a main road running along side, so Yes some of the lanes are narrow, but if you follow the instructions, then you shouldn't have a problem.

This is not a CL.

This site advertises as a CL. But it does not conform to the accepted definition of a CL ...a quiet 5 caravan site offering a very different experience from that provided by larger sites. It claims that the facilities are for the exclusive use of the CL users but in fact they are used by the 10 pitches in the site adjacent to the supposed CL site. So if you are looking for a quiet CL tucked away, and by virtue of those facts preferred to a larger site, this is not the site for you. A reviewer back in 2014 made the same point. The facilities are acceptable but the shower floor seems to have subsided as the water runs everywhere. And £1 a shower is exhorbitant. Our showers averaged 25 p each. The games room is uninviting, dark and gloomy. The setting is glorious with lovely views but exposed and windy. Access from the south involves narrow roads and potentially difficult passing with a large van. Much is made by other reviewers of the footballing dog. We found him a nuisance, barking incessantly for someone to play with him. All in all disappointing experience in that we thought we were going to a CL and found the site something else entirely.

Our favourite CL by a mile

This was our 3rd visit to Myndydd Mwyn Mawr staying for a week at the end of May. The site is well cared for by John and Sarah with superb facilities normally found on a Club site. There are 3 toilets, 2 of which have showers, and a washing up room with hot and cold water and a washing machine. Next to these is a games room situated on the upper floor of a barn. This has free Wi-Fi access, pool table, table tennis table, TV and games. We used this quite a lot on our stay. The site slopes slightly down towards the game room but blocks are available. Each pitch has it's own water tap and grey waste drain. With the site being quite high, the views are superb - Snowdonia and Rhosneigr both visible on clear days. John will quite happily site and level your van for you with his Land Rover while Moss the dog watches from the passenger seat. Entertainment comes in the form of Jess the dog who wanders up to the site and loves playing football with kids. The CL is ideally located for exploring the island. Llangefni, Trearddur Bay and Holyhead all 10 to 15 minutes drive away. The nearest village is Llannerch-y-medd is 1.5 miles down the road and has a McColls shop, pub and chip shop. We're can't wait to revisit next year.

First visit to Mynydd Mwyn Mawr

Our first visit here, we are confident we'll return when on the island again. A very peaceful site. Very central for the island 'though not in walking distance of attractions. A panoramic view in all directions. Access is OK using directions provided, 'though as many places here the minor roads are very narrow with poor visibility on so do take care. All the services and amenities are well cared for and very clean. I'm happy to endorse the positive reviews from other visitors and recommend this site.

First Trip, will be back

This was our first trip to Anglesey and our first CL. My wife was a bit concerned as we have only done big sites before. After this visit we are CL converts. Simply stunning location, a bit breezy but that is what you get if you want panoramic views. Showers are £1 but you get plenty of water and facilities are nice and clean We were a bit concerned about not being near the beach but nothing is far on Anglesey and in the morning we just decided if we were going N,E, S or W so actually a really good location. The Games room was a bonus for our girls (9 and 11) who rate this as their favourite site. Loved seeing the horses in the paddock opposite all day long, very friendly with lots of stroking opportunities. John is really friendly and took the time to give us some great hints on places to visit. Unfortunately did not get chance to meet Sarah on this visit. No doubt we will see her on our next visit, we will be back. Very laid back atmosphere and everyone on the site was lovely including the folks who came to help with our awning when they could see we were struggling a bit. Much more friendly than on the big sites. Thanks to John, Sarah and our fellow campers this is our favourite break yet
