Very please

Very pleasant 5 night stay at this site, the toilet block was kept immaculately clean by the warden (Billy) during our stay, nothing was too much trouble for him, he made us feel welcome and even collected us from the local pub the Blue Lion in Cynwig when we went over to meet our friends for a meal and a drink, we ate the Sunday lunch there and it was very nice, we were made to feel very welcome by the locals. We also ate at the Burwyn Restaurant in Landrillo, a small family run place with only 6 tables so it’s wise to book, it’s the no 1 restaurant in Corwen on trip advisor and we’ll worth a visit. Apart from the Saturday night where there was a wedding reception on at a venue close to the campsite we found it extremely relaxing and quiet. ( even on the Saturday it didn’t keep us awake) We would definitely return to this site if we are in the area, there are some beautiful walks and views to die for when you walk to the top of Castell Dinas! All in all it was a very pleasant end to our month long journey around Wales.

Pros and Cons

A quiet site that even our grandchildren remarked on, in a positive way I might add! On arrival the warden explained where everything was including the information that waste was sorted at a recycling centre and not on site. I wish more sites would explain what can be recycled! I didn't have a problem with being allocated a pitch although given the number of empty pitches I also thought this a bit strange. I did manage to bend a few pegs when putting the awning up and perhaps advice on this could be included in the site description. At Tredegar Park, however, I did manage to bend almost everyone! Is this a Welsh problem? The toilets were clean and, although the building was some years old, the interior and the shower fittings were clean and modern. What a pleasure to be able to put your clothes/towel somewhere dry whilst showering! Wifi was good and we managed to watch the Hungarian GP on SkyGo without a problem. Although this may change if the site was full. The lack of an information room has been pointed out elsewhere and I agree this would have been useful. There was no play area which our grandchildren did not find a problem, only learning of a field for ball play when we were leaving! A small point but one that frustrates me is the short length of hosepipe at many CEP's, not here! A nice long pipe that doesn't kink when you use it was a bonus! The warden was friendly and helpful, especially when we were leaving, not that he wanted rid of us I am sure! Would we visit again, yes, without a doubt.

Very good small site

We had a most enjoyable week here in June. Our pitch was fine. Electricity, TV connection and drainage in the corner of the pitch. I was rather dubious about the surface which I think must be crushed slate, but it was no problem. My wife was very happy with the dog walk. There were vacant pitches during our stay. There are plenty of places to visit from here. We are intending to return.

Lovely welcome

We stayed here for two nights and felt so welcome, Billy remembered our names and came over to greet us when we arrived, even offered to drive us to the local pub if we wanted. When he saw that we had our five year old with us he immediately went to mow the lawn on their football pitch, couldn’t have been nicer! The bathrooms are lovely here, what a pleasure not to have timer taps and showers. Lovely feel to the place, everyone very smiley and chilled out. Nice easy drive to local amenities and visitor attractions. We went to Bounce Below at Zip World, great fun and fab for a rainy day. There’s also an excellent farm shop style restaurant and play area at the bottom of the hill - it’s got a statue of a bison out front - where we enjoyed breakfast. Recommend!! Nikki

Nice Site for relaxing

Stayed here for 10 nights and enjoyed the peace and quiet. It was nice to look out and see the highland cattle in the field. Billy the warden was friendly, chatty & helpful making our stay enjoyable. Toilet block dated, but everything worked OK.

Lovely quiet site

My wife and I recently spent 6 nights here and loved the quiet nature of the site (the only exception being a flock of rooks who roosted nearby and made quite a racket one morning, but we could hardly blame the site for that). The site has a very friendly and helpful warden, Billy, who also has a very friendly black lab. We visited the very impressive Pystyll Rhaeadr waterfall, Plas Newydd in Llangollen and Crick Castle - all well worth a visit. We also had a Father's Day lunch with son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter at the pub in Cynwyd, which was well-cooked and with generous portions, necessitating a 4-mile walk along the nearby disused railway line. All in all, a very enjoyable break.

Lovely country site

Just spent 12 nights at this lovely site, which is about half a mile from the main road. The final 200 yards is interesting as narrow with high hedges and limited visibility. Thankfully the road is very quiet. Pitches are excellent and we found that being on the perimeter was good. There were some cows in the field behind but you rarely heard them and they certainly did not disturb. For those liking wildlife there were red kites and buzzards daily. The shower block was spotless, even during the really busy Jubilee weekend. The serviced pitches are level and ample size to allow for an awning. The pitches do have a slate topping but this did not cause us any problem and none got in the caravan. A short walk down the lane takes you to Rhug farm shop, cafe and even a drive through takeaway. Corwen is only about a mile or so and has some shops, cafes and takeaways. There is lots to see and do in the area. Staff at the site were excellent. It was refreshing to be on a site that is not plastered with rules! We did connect to the TV socket on our bollard as this gave us so many more channels. The free Wi-Fi was also good to carry out browsing and email. Would happily recommend this as a place to stay.

hated it so much i left early

we have been to this site in the past when the previous owner had the site and it was very good. we thought we would do a short weekend this time and looking forward to it. upon arrival we was allocated a certain pitch which was not so good when i counted 14 pitches empty all weekend. the warden said we cant change . why ? very uneven pitch and small bits of slate everywhere. the whole drive and all pitches are very bitty slate what panthers into your awing /unit making a right mess. . from what i seen the warden wanted to get all units on the outside to look busy but just putting anyone anywhere. the first night we had a campervan either side of us and alls we heard all night is sliding doors of the campervan and then again in the morning. no sleep . when i opened the blinds up i was shocked to see some woman letting her 2 dogs mess right at the back of my van. they then proceeded to walk at the back of all the vans thinking it was the dog walk. she was not the only one. where was the respect the site and the other peoples privacy. saying that the one dog walk field was full of cows with horns so i don't think id be going in it. the other field to walk dogs was sheep but it was a muddy field with sheep in and you come back with it all over your shoes. toilets was functional but 3 * overall id say this site needs to improve the small pitches /dog walks/ get rid of the terrible slate drive and please take a very experienced warden on whos is friendly/ good customer service . they are the face of your business. it was the worst weekend in history sorry.

Great base for walking…

We’ve just come back from six nights on the site. Can’t fault it, clean facilities, helpful owners. Worked well for us as a base for some beautiful walks in the area. You can walk down to the Rhug farm shop in a few minutes, if you can afford their prices, or a five minute drive into Corwen, where there are eating places and a little bit of history. The pub to eat at though is The Grouse Inn at Carrog, the other side of Corwen. Views over the River Dee, and good honest pub grub.

Lovely Overnight Stay

We only stayed at Gaer Hyfryd for one night as a stop over. We received an email a day or so before we arrived notifying us of our pitch allocation, upon arrival we received a lovely welcome and all site rules and Amenities explained. There was a small area for the children to play, with a set of goal posts as our children love a game of footy. There was also a basketball net too that kept them occupied. The site was very well kept with some lovely flower beds. The toilets and showers were small yet well kept and didn’t prove a problem to us during our stay. Although we didn’t take our dog there were plenty of guests with dogs and a very large field for dog walking. We found access to the site was very easy and plenty of room to manoeuvre on to the pitch. We will certainly be making plans to stay again next summer for a few days whilst we try out Bala lake.
