WHAT A LITTLE GEM

We have Just spent 14 nights here, discovering a very, beautiful, unspoilt and somewhat overlooked area of Mid Wales. This site is quite a little gem. Not too big and set in a quiet beautiful location. It is easy to get to, easy access off the A470 and fairly central to many places of interest and natural beauty. it is a sloping site but pitches are reasonably level and nicely set within tree lined grassy areas. There is no toilet block but not a problem with onboard caravan facilities. TV reception was ok but a bit scrambly at times because we were at the top of the site on pitch 26. Our phone signal was good though (both EE and Vodaphone) so we could use our mobile data ok. Wifi limited to a small area around the information hut. There is a lovely little woodland Dog Walk, with a Bird Hide and small Pond. The Wardens Pete and Janet are great. They are warm, welcoming, friendly and a mine of information, which they gladly give to help make your stay more enjoyable. Pete told us about the Torrent Walk at Brithdir, just outside Dolgellau, which we did. A beautiful walk down a tree covered gorge, with a flowing river and falls. A great little 3 miler to do an a hot day. All in all, we had a fantastic time, at a lovely well looked after, quiet and picturesque club site. With thanks to Pete and Janet who are great wardens and a credit to the Caravan Club. Highly recommended and great value at the club's tour for less £17/night. Chris and Carol Saunders

A quiet few nights in the rain, with limited TV reception, no phone signal and no wifi ..

This is a picturesque site. Most pitches are overhung by trees which affect tv reception, limits phone signals and gives those loud drips on your van roof in the rain. It's a very steep site to walk up and down. Dog walk is excellent and very big (at top of site over the road). There is little to do walking from site. No facilities. WiFi hotspot at reception only. Worth a climb up the hill via the lane from site as there are some great views.

Excellent site.

Booked in for same night stop over. Straightforward and welcoming. Chose Pitch 17, hardstanding including EHU for £17 which we felt was great value. Site is peaceful and easy to find and access. Warden was very helpful and pleasant. Overall a very good experience. Highly recommend.

Peaceful site great wardens

Had six nights here when we arrived there wasn’t many pitches the warden suggested we could go on the pitches across the road to the other side which was okay, thought we would move in the morning when pitches came available woke up in the morning to just bird song so decided to stay where we were. The only downfall we decided to walk on the footpath to llanbrynmair nice walk except after going through esgair farm the farmer sent his 8 dogs down the lane after us and our dog, reported him to the police and council so be careful if you use it.

Quiet and peaceful campsite with lovely stewards

The roads and the pitches are in different layers of the terrain. We felt that were in the mountains and in nature. It's a quiet and peaceful campsite with lovely stewards. The best campsite we've ever been to.

Excellent place to stay

Wonderful peaceful site, well looked after by the friendly wardens. Clean, well maintained and tidy. Great views due to the terraced pitches. This site has an abundance of wildlife, we saw red kites most evenings. Got a great video of a nuthatch just outside the caravan. Had a fantastic, relaxing time. Will certainly visit again.

Best dog walk

Such a lovely woodland dog walk plus the field! Created by the very friendly wardens who obviously love the site, thank you. Delightful natural and peaceful site with gorgeous views. Lack of good WiFi can be frustrating in this modern world but it’s a compromise worth accepting.

Fantastic Views and Peaceful

We stayed here with a caravan and awning for 9 nights in August ( 2 adults, my teenage daughter and her friend and a dog). All the pitches are wonderfully spread out and other caravaners were friendly and relaxed too. The site is in the middle of nowhere which is perhaps why tv reception was not as some members expected. But for us the channels were adequate as we chose the site to get away from it all and admire the scenery… which this site exceeded our expectations in both its location and the relaxing atmosphere the wardens and layout provided. The dog walks, cleanliness, layout and the friendly wardens made our time on the site enjoyable. The site is central enough for stunning drives out to beaches, North Wales coast / Mountains and also visit quaint small Welsh towns close by too. There was enough around for our party to go out and about make the most of the sunshine in the afternoons. I would definitely recommend the Machynlleth to Pwhelli train journey too. I enjoyed the break so much I stayed for an additional week…all in all a great site to unwind, relax and do nothing but conveniently located in a stunning area for getting out and about when you are feeling energetic too.

Lovely August Bank Holiday break

We have just returned from three nights at this lovely site. We have visited before and its one of our favourites! The wardens are lovely and welcoming and the site is really well kept. No rows of caravans like a car park which isn't for us. Lots of separate pitches lots of trees and birdies just what we love! So much to do in the area. Really looking forward to our next visit! Many thanks
