Not as advertised

Site in great location but on site is awkward access to pitches which are spread over a number of areas ( not just a 5 pitch cl). Two toilets and one shower for a site that can take about 30 units! Price needs updating on listing as it is now... Show more

Sadly in need of some TLC

We have just stayed at this site for 3 nights. The first thing to say is that it is not £16.50 nor £17 that some people paid last year, but £20..and it has to be said that it is overpriced. For that you get your pitch and electric, there is... Show more

Beautiful site with hardstandings and facilities.

We stayed at Bryn y Gwin farm for 3 nights in early November and had the CL to ourselves. It is in a great position perched on the side of a hill overlooking Dolgellau with the uplands of the Cadair Idris range behind it. It is surrounded by pretty... Show more

Gorgeous site but badly let down by facilities

I stayed at this site last month. It is well situated for the local sights and hikes, with an accessible hike up to Cader Idris just a mile up the road. Pitches are of a good size and pretty level. However, the toilet facilities are awful! I think someone comes... Show more

Great site BUT ...........

Our first visit here. A lovely site with fabulous views and very helpful owner. Sadly it is let down by very dodgy brown filtered drinking water - fortunately the local Co-op has a good supply of bottled water. We couldn't face using the water out of the tap after the inside... Show more

This is a good site, can accomodate when the CL is full

I tried to book the CL here, but it was full. The owner has two other small commercial sites at the same price, sharing the same facilites and he could fit me in. Deposit and payment was via BACS (a plus for me). Sadly the facilities were closed... Show more

THE PITCHES AND TOILET FACILITES LET SITE DOWN

Picked site as thought it was very near the Mawddach trail but it was down a 1 mile hill to get to Dolgellau. Yes you can cycle and walk it but it was rather hard after the 22 miles on the Mawddach trail. Would also be difficult if... Show more
