Another great stay at Coed-Y-Llwyn

We stayed 4 nights from the season opener on 11 March. A friendly welcome from new wardens, and we found the site to be meticulously clean and tidy. Nice pub over the road (Bryn Arms) which is reasonably priced and has been upgraded since our last visit a few years ago... what a great asset so close to site. We walked to the cafe at Trawsfynydd which served a tasty snack lunch. We also enjoyed a walk from Porthmadog to Borth-Y-Gest. Overall a great site to stay on as we have always found it to be. thankyou.

Quiet site, good location, friendly staff - toilet block needs a refresh

We stayed w/c 9th October and found the site to be clean, tidy and the wardens were friendly. The toilet block is a little dated/needs upgrading but that said, the wardens kept it spotlessly clean. Nice pub over the road (The Bryn Arms) which is reasonably priced and offers a few limited gluten free options if you have a need for a GF diet as my wife does. Some good walks direct from the site and we also drove to Croesor for a walk (climb/scramble up Cnicht which is the welsh version of the Matterhorn). It's a challenging hike so only do it if you are experienced and reasonably fit. Overall a good site to stay on, quiet with some good views (once the clouds clear :-) ).

Shower block

This site is a perfect location for us due to the proximity to Coed y Brenin forest for great mountain biking. Had a terrible journey so only turned up at 7.45 which i thought was great until i arrived to find the reception closed !!! Fortunately i hung around for some time and the warden saw me and allowed me to check in, again not the most friendly though, I felt as if he was doing me a favour. The most important thing to note is the extremely poor quality of the shower block. Showers with no changing area or bench is not what you expect nowadays on club sites, I have not visited the majority of the club sites but these facilities including the dish wash area are by far the worst I have encountered on my travels. There are numerous other camp sites in the area so next time i think i will be staying at one of those.

Lovely place

This is just a lovely site. We cycled at nearby Coed y Brenin cycle trail centre and along the estuary on the Mawddach Trail to Barmouth (beware the bridge is closed till mid-December but the little ferry was prepared to take bikes). The weather was okay to good during our stay so I guess we saw it all at pretty much its best. The facilities are no doubt on the list for updating (they need it!) but they’re all kept spotlessly clean. Big shout out to assistant site manager Mike - what an absolute star: perhaps the most welcoming, friendly, helpful CC person we’ve come across. And we have yet to encounter a grumpy one! Certainly a place I’d very happily revisit.

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.
