Date of Visit: June 2022 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Nights stayed: 16 Travelling as:  Mature couple
Reviewer: Lindilou2013 54 reviews from this member

 The setting for this site is glorious. Hidden in a valley, with the Mawddach running through it, mountains to the sides, a beautiful ruined abbey within the grounds.

It is a working farm so it can get quite noisy when work has to be done otherwise, apart from when it is busy, it is a relaxing and peaceful place.

There is no wifi although we were able to access a 4G signal without trouble.

The facilities block is not cleaned every day so can get quite mucky because some people are just inconsiderate to the needs of others but that's a problem encountered everywhere.

Couple of miles to Dolgellau where shops can be accessed.

So much walking and cycling can be done from this site and in that respect it is ideal. Coed Y Brenin is just up the road and we cycled there and back several times. There are also road rides available but make sure you're fit or have ebikes as most roads lead upwards! We didn't need to go very far to find incredible walks.

If the beach is more your scene then Fairbourne or Barmouth are about ten minutes drive away.

We shall return because it meets our needs for cycling and walking.

 Excellent site with spacious, modern and very clean toilet block.

If you are energetic enough, it is possible to cycle along the Mawddach Trail and across the bridge into Barmouth.

I intend to use this site again.

 Excellent site, beautiful countryside and immaculate toilets!

4 glorious days and rained the last but didn’t spoil our holiday! Thanks to the owners!

No internet or tv signal but it was good to do without for a few days!

 Loved this place - and will definitely come back.

Well priced with good shower block toilet and wash up area.

We were lucky as quiet when we were there!

Good access to fab walks, river and 20mins walk into Dolgellau which has a good selection of pubs shops and eating places but advise to book!

Had an amazing time exploring the area. The Abbey remains are in the grounds of the campsite.

Reviewer: Mike Howles 3 reviews from this member

 This is a lovely site, perfectly located for a number of activities in the area. From walking, cycling and running it's a great spot.

We spent 7 nights there and walked or cycled from the site each day.

There are walks on the farm and Cymer Abbey. We even found a beach down on the river where we sat and watched an otter. Delyth, Geraint and Peter work flat out to keep the farm and the site in tip top condition.

The toilets are kept clean and regularly inspected. Absolutely what we wanted and at a price that is very competitive.

We will be back there in the future as there is a lot more we haven't done.

Within walking distance are the two precipice walks, Penmaenpool bridge (and pub).

A short drive will get you to the Pony Track carpark for Cader Idris and you can cycle routes 8 and 82, Mawddach Trail to Barmouth and of course over the Barmouth Viaduct.

 Lovely spot, within walking distance of Dolgellau which has good pubs and restaurants.

Flat cycle/footpath into town or shorter, steeper path option. Possible to cycle towards the coast.

Excellent facilities.

Calm, relaxing site. Good supermarket on edge of town, Eurospar.

Lovely hosts.

 This picture, is not the caravan site, you can see the caravans the other side of the abbey.

This site is small, with great views and only £12 including electric.

A small river runs along side, and there are great walks from the site.

 Lovely quiet site with beautiful surroundings.

Small river runs past the site which is lovely for paddling.

Ideal location for visits to nearby Barmouth for beach and amusements And Coed Y Brenin forest park is close for walks and mountain biking.

Would visit again.

 Nice peaceful site next to the Abbey and the river running by.

Great site for walks, Mountains, Forests, Beaches, and the Mawddach trail close by.

Due to Covid no facilities were open so unable to comment,

But they had the basics of what I needed so will give 5 till next visit

What children were there seemed to be enjoying themselves so it is a complete guess and cannot submit this rating without it 5 ?.

Reviewer: Boltonandbolton 1 review from this member

 WOW! What an absolute gem of a site. We arrived with no booking as we came across this site by accident while driving through the area.

We were greeted by the owner and her daughter and couldn’t have been made more welcome. The site is an absolute credit to the owners, very well organised, set in such a picturesque setting, riverside, surrounded by hills and trees, 10 miles from Barmouth beach, shops 3 miles away.

We booked in for 2 nights and ended up staying for 4 nights.

The campsite was absolutely spotless, a fantastic shower and toilet block, washing up area, walks to the woods, fishing on the river, campfires by the riverside pitches, and we were blessed with fantastic weather also.

Nothing was too much trouble for the owners, they had thought of everything and really looked after everyone of their guests,

We shall certainly be returning.
