Quiet and Peaceful

Arrived 29th Aug, the site was quiet and peaceful and had a lovely Sunday Lunch at the Pub across the road, only booked for a week but the staff / wardens were able to extend for 2 weeks. All the facilities are good if a little dated but clean. For 2 weeks we had peace and quiet and beautiful weather, the pitches are well looked after and large enough and they are spread over a number of different areas surrounded by trees, there is a small dog walking area. The village it sits beside is quiet. Porthmadog about 10 miles away has Tesco Lidl and Aldi and of course the Ffestiniog Railway. Being on the edge of Snowdonia gives you so many places to visit. Will i be back most certainly. Overall a very good site friendly staff a handy Pub and on the edge of stunning scenery and not to far from a very large beach.

Dated showers but good site

Decent site let down by shower block,hot water taps in sinks far too hot ,need temperature control on,nowhere to hang your clothes,everything gets wet,nor reason to have coded lock on.I know this may be coincidence but this is the 3rd site this year the wi fi hasn’t been working ,been very weak or not available without roaming the site,in this instance out of order for the time we were there and still out of order when we left,Air Angel need to sort this out especially when you pay for a year in advance.Rant now over Site well cared for by Wardens,plenty of places to go to nearby,

Great site and location

Excellent site with friendly helpful wardens. Showers were a little dated but always clean and super hot and powerfull, brilliant after a long day in the hills. Great walking and mountain biking directly from the site. Good pub opposite, really no complaints and 2 weeks of great weather helped although I don't think the caravan club can take credit for that. No issues we're encountered regarding 'not being family friendly' and both our children were warmly received on their numerous visits to the shop for info or ice creams. If you like walking or mountain biking this is a great location but most attractions did require you to drive as public transport is limited.

Great location. Shame (two of) the wardens aren’t family friendly!

We arrived at the site as two parties and were greeted by two wonderful wardens who made us feel welcome and offered great advice on where to pitch up with the outfits we have. That afternoon after getting set up, we passed a rugby ball around on the large corner grass plot between both of our vans, before the children went to play in the play area. The adults sat down after a long 4+ hour drive. We had music on quietly whilst we chatted amongst each other. At 7:15pm we were approached by a very rude lady who introduced herself as the site manager, stating that she could hear us from her caravan at the front of the site (which was impossible) and that we should be more respectful of the quiet times on site (which I later found out on the posters they erected in the toilets to be 9pm to 7am) and also that she had received complaints about footballs hitting people’s vans. We confirmed that at no point had we been playing football and no balls had hit our vans when we had been in between them, never mind any of our neighbours. We also apologised for any ‘noise’ and turned the music off. Without anything further said, she then walked off with her dog. What a lovely start to a 9 day, long awaited holiday! The following day whilst my wife waited to use the facilities a male warden also made a snide remark about a child who was bouncing a ball next to their caravan, stating that the parents should know that ‘such behaviour’ is not allowed on ‘this site’. For the remainder of the holiday we felt as if we or the children could not enjoy ourselves around our vans. All of our neighbours were very pleasant, so I do not believe there were ever any complaints. I believe that we were just seen playing with the ball between our vans and therefore the warden took it upon herself to have a pop at us to set her stance against two younger families. As every time I saw her chatting with older peoples with their dogs, she was full of smiles. It is a lovely site in a beautiful location within easy reach of all parts of snowdon and the north and north west coasts. The facilities are a little dated, but fine. Not sure of the point of the access code to the toilets though. The play area is small and there is no area suitable for ball games. I think this site would either be better run as an adult only site (as two of the four wardens made it clear they have no tolerance of children having fun) or they need to get new wardens to keep up with the times and realise that we are the next generation of caravanners and without us, the club will die with the older members!

First visit to North Wales

After a long journey, we were greeted by the friendliest wardens we have encountered - Mike and Nikki were smiling, chatty and helpful - it definitely got our holiday off to a great start!! Mike even ordered us some sunshine!!! The toilet block does need updating although the showers are hot and powerful. Whilst away, we visited many places including Caernafon, Portmerion, Swallow Falls, Conwy, Betws-y-Coed, Criccieth, Abersoch, Pwilheli and Harlech castle and beach We climbed Mount Snowdon via Llanberis path (parking between £8 and £10 per day), the railway is not currently running to the summit so if you plan to catch the train and walk the rest, that is a steep part of the walk and takes approx 1 hour to get to the top - we didn't actually get to the summit as there was a 45 minute wait for a photo!!! Coming down is definitely harder than going up!! We went on a steam train from Porthmadog - the Woodland Wanderer - not the most scenic ride though at the stop there is a tea room and you can walk to a lake The site office offer a map of a walk to a waterfall (about 10 minutes walk away) and a cycle around a lake (note this is not a cycle ride all around a lake, that part of the ride is minimal) We cycled the Maddach trail from Dolgellau to Barmouth (it's a round trip of 20 miles) though flat all the way Visited Bryn Arms - good pub food Advice - if you want to visit any of the major tourist atttractions, book online in advance. Parking is fairly cheap (£1.10 per hour) in most places Lots of see and do in the area - thanks Mike and Nikki for all your help and advice and always with a smile

Shower facilities are desperately in need of upgrade.

The shower/wash room facitlites are in deperate need of a complete rennovation having few hooks to hang clothes and no benches in the showers to keep anything off the floor and dry. No shower curtains either! I honestly don’t remember when I had a worse showering experience and it was an absolutely dreadful start to every day not to mention the door code of 4 numbers and 2 letters which is extremely difficult to remember ( unless you take your phone with you and then there is nowhere to put it down inside ) and hard for people with arthritic hands to use. Otherwise, the site is very peaceful and there are lots of nearby walks and a great pub with really lovely staff.

Pleasant site

Beautiful location. Well laid out site, Staff are friendly. Nice pub across the road. Only down side is the toilet block. Still under covid regulations so only 2 allowed in the shower block at the same time. This proves a nightmare for those without a toilet. The other toilets were closed due to maintenance which is very annoying. I also felt that the block needed cleaning more than once a day with the same toilets and showers being used consistently.

Great site and location.

We loved this site. Loads to do nearby. Pub on the door. Staff are friendly and super helpful. A bit anal on parking protocol. If you book a pitch without awning, you're going to feel a bit left out without if you don't have one. The lake is beautiful. I would recommend. Showers might be in need of an update, but they're clean,powerful, so realistically what more do you want?

Full site but limited Facilities

Site was virtually full, but half of the facilities were closed for 'essential maintenance ' ? If it is essential, why is it taking so long to complete ? When we were here last year, the whole facilities block was closed because 'the boilers were broken' Now nearly a year later, and in full season use, still not completely fixed ? What is going on ? NOT the Wardens fault, they just manage with what they provided with. A good site in a beautiful area, not being given a fighting chance, yet through it all, it is thriving, needs investment badly...and soon, come on Club, Give Members what they are paying for, quality facilities.

Pleasant Stay

This site was laid out nicely with a choice of areas tucked away on different levels, with trees and foliage. Could be a little tricky in some places, if you have a large outfit and some pitches are on a very slight incline from the road through the site. We were there during the hottest week - temps hit 30degs some days and so had to be mindful where we could go with a dog that kept us off pavements and in the shade. At these temperatures though, most afternoons were spent sitting in the shade onsite. We tended to use our van facilities but did pop in to the shower block once and they do seem rather dated. The wardens were fairly helpful, although the lady warden did bark in a loud voice to ‘put your dog on the lead’, when he was walking calmly from the van into our car as we were on the way out. Surely this is extreme, when no nuisance occurred. The dog walk was small but perfect for morning and evening ablutions - kept clean and clear of mess. The information hut had no information leaflets, due to covid, we were told by another camper - which seems ridiculous now as many restrictions are lifted and you can find lots of tourist leaflets in the local Lidl at Porthmadog. There is a pub directly opposite the site with a nice garden where again, you can take your dog. Noisy fowl at nearby smallholding! So watch where you pitch! Nice play area for children but never saw it used whilst there.
