Plas Onn Isa

What can we add to what everyone else has said other than they are totally accurate. Excellent hosts, a stunning view, lovely location and an immaculate site in all ways. A big plus is that it is easy to get to, just off the A55, with all the fantastic attractions and amenities of the North Wales coast and countryside on your doorstep. Thank you John and Lyn for your hospitality, we will DEFINATELY be back. Andy and Carol

Plas Onn Isa is a Caravan Club CL. It is in the hills just about 1.5 miles above the town of Abergele. It can be found under Abergele on p531 of the CC Site Directory. It has only been open about a year. Owners John and Lyn Jones were formerly caravanners themselves and this shows in the care and attention to detail they have taken in preparing and running this lovely site. They are, also, locals and "mines" of local information. John and Lyn welcomed us, when we arrived, as if we were old friends, inviting us into their beautiful home for a cup of tea and a slice of homemade cake. From reading CC website reviews, it seems that they do this with all their guests. Their home is in a former cowshed, which they have converted themselves and it has a lovely floor to roof gable end window overlooking the lovely southerly view. If towing it is important to follow the instructions in the CC Handbook. If travelling from Chester leave the A55 at Junction 24 and take the A547 through the centre of Abergele. From the western side of Abergele road turn left onto Tan Y Gopa Road, just after passing the Tesco supermarket on the right and immediately before the castellated entrance to Gwyrch Castle. If approaching from Bangor direction on the A55 leave at Junction 23 and take the A547 through Abergele. Tan Y Gopa Rd is then a right turn on the outskirts of Arbegele immediately after the castellated entrance to Gwyrch Castle. Tan Y Gopa Road is a good single-track road with passing places but we met hardly any other vehicles during the 10 days that we have been here. The single-track part of the route is just over a mile and uphill all the way. On arrival at the site it is accessed by a wide, gently sloping drive which John has had especially constructed and which is angled at a shallow angle from the road direction to make access easy. The site consists of a large, sunny, south-facing, grass field, with more than ample space for the 5 units, located adjacent to the owner's home. The field is well-mown grass and has stupendous views from its elevated position down across the valley and to the surrounding rolling hills. There are EHU points for 5 units. The site is in a very quiet and peaceful location. The only disadvantage to the site that we vividly found out is that its exposed position meant that it is vulnerable to high winds. It is a sloping site but John has made a number of homemade levelling ramps and wooden blocks to assist with the levelling of 'vans. It does not have showers but there is a single toilet and washbasin, cold water only, in a clean and cosy shed in the corner of the CL field. The toilet shed has flowerbeds around it. This toilet shed was beautifully laid out with, toilet paper, paper towels, liquid soap, hand sanitiser and automatic air freshener. This shed, also, has a rack of tourist info leaflets. The CDP is next to this toilet with a rinsing tap complete with hose. There is one drinking water tap, again
