Date of Visit: June 2017 Unit:  Campervan
Reviewer: BarryLeslie 8 reviews from this member

 Excellent site all round; all facilities available - but you have to pay for it. We thought £24 for a grass pitch with an extra £6 for electricity very pricey. Close to coast but not to beaches. Close to South Stack and Holyhead Mountain.

Reviewer: Hjf139 13 reviews from this member

 Great site to stay at. Fab location and such friendly helpful staff. Lots of great scenery nearby, South Stack, Holyhead Country Park. Yummy Welsh breakfast in the restaurant, using locally sourced produce, if you can't be bothered to cook but advisable to book as there's also a B&B on site which also takes pooches. Ideal base for exploring Anglesey and short distance to lovely beaches such as Rhosneiger, Aberfrau and Newborough. Highly recommend it. Had a great weekend with 15+ weimaraner pooches and their hoomans!

 Great site up near Holyhead. Fabulous views and very friendly and helpful staff. Glorious setting near Trearddur Bay. Great facilities including freezer and fridge to use and whilst few electric hook up they were more than happy to charge phones, tablets, power packs etc for you. Also sockets in pot washing area so possible to keep cool boxes chilled. Great welsh breakfast available in the restaurant and lovely coffee to start the morning with. Loved our 4 night stay here with a group of fellow weimaraner owners. Great base for exploring Anglesey.

Reviewer: JohnnyTwosheds 14 reviews from this member

 Wonderful site with plenty of walking opportunities and surrounded by nature. All very well run by pleasant and helpful staff with great humour and hard work.

Toilets and washing facilities were warm and clean and each pitch was roomy with great views. Breakfast can be had from the B & B that is next to reception very reasonably priced and very wholesome too!. We would not normally do that but wanted an early start so we packed up the night before, went to bed then a quick shower and breakfast cooked for us and away!

The pitch we were offered has hard standing and most seemed to be level. Children had their own play area complete with goal posts and the camping for tents area seemed green and easy to pitch up on. There is a security barrier upon entering and leaving the site which was operational and seems a good idea for those who wish to go off for the whole day along the coastal path.

There was nothing to moan about whatsoever on the site so it's straight tens from us!

Reviewer: Lesfb14 1 review from this member

 It was late September and raining. We arrived, tired and late in the day, needing some sleep before an early ferry to Ireland. The hostess could not have been more friendly and helpful. Took us to a level, gravelled pitch with a great view, EHU and water. Made our Labradoodle very welcome too. The showers were wonderful. Plenty of hot water and absolutely spotless. I don't know what this would be like at the height of season as we pretty much had it to ourselves - and as two old codgers, that's just fine. And we were charged just £20 for the night. Only one tiny fault - the light at our site flickered constantly. No problem at all when blinds were closed but a problem to see where you were going so needed a torch when getting set up.

Reviewer: Cakivan 1 review from this member

 Site is suited to people prefering quieter times. Excellent for dogs and plenty of dog friendly breaches and walks nearby. The coast path is accessible down a lane next to site and gives you excellent walks in both directions. The B&B on site breakfast can be ordered to sit in or takeaway by all it is good value and great food, we had it last morning while packing up so convenient. The owners and staff are so helpful and shower block is immaculate. Small store for most needs and local supermarkets 10 min drive away. Good laundry facilities as well. Loved every minute and will be going back.

 My brother and I stayed here in May 2016 and what a lovely site it was. The owner couldn't have been more helpful in accommodating us in two pitches next door to each other as we travel in 2 motorhomes. The pitches were large although we needed small chocks to make them level. The shower facilities were great with two shower rooms and two separate showers. Plenty of hot water was available with no push button regulators, which for me is a bonus. Friday fish and chips and daily breakfasts in the main house are also available at a small cost and having tried these I must say they were very good. All in all a very good site. 


Date of Visit: April 2016 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Geraldinerocks 20 reviews from this member

 Beautifully positioned site in a very picturesque part of Anglesey. Easy to find and reach - no tricky narrow roads to negotiate. Easy booking in process with helpful and welcoming staff.

Facilities were clean and spacious and the radio playing made it extra homely.

The coastline was very pretty with lots of walks and coves to explore.

As previously reviewed, the only thing I can say that isn't positive about this site is the pitch. No choice of pitch offered, the temporary visitors all seemed to get squashed in next to the toilet block and the pitches were positioned so they didn't offer any privacy.

However, this wouldn't put me off returning to the site.

 Just returned from a 5 night stay at this site. We arrived after a horrendous 3 hour journey in the wind and rain. The welcome was very friendly and we were shown to our pitch. We then went straight into the restaurant for some very welcome fish and chips. Yes, they are pricey but you would pay this for a meal in a restaurant and they were simply delicious!

The views at this site are simply the best, however as I've already read on a previous comment - the best pitches with stunning sea views were taken up by uninhabited caravans. We were not given a choice of pitch and wonder why the remaining 'sea view' pitches cannot be given out on a first come first serve basis??

The toilet block was clean with free hot water and a continuous shower. Also music played into the block.

I cannot fault this site however it seems there isn't really a lot to do in Anglesey. Yes, there are some stunning views, but without separate transport there really isn't anywhere to go.

My husband and I walked over 2.5 miles (and back) to the Soith Stack lighthouse - down (and back up) the 400+steps which was quite a feat. The trip up the lighthouse (more steep steps) was worth the visit and the price at over £8. 00 each.

The weather spoilt this trip for us as it rained heavily for the majority of our trip. It would have been so different had we been able to sit outside and eat, drink and admire the views.

A lovely campsite but I didn't fall in love with Anglesey.

 Thoroughly recommend this site. Great base esp for cycling, if only the Easter weather was kinder.

We had our own facilities but those on site looked clean.

Chemical toilet disposal adequate

DON'T miss the homemade fish & chips on a Friday night

Great views and helpful staff

We will be back

Reviewer: Laffingravy 3 reviews from this member

 Stayed here just for 1 night, for the second time, at the back end of the season, on arrival you are met by a very pleasant staff member, and an immaculate well presented site, the views are priceless and a short drive into Holyhead and treadur bay.

Reviewer: Seriel camper 1 review from this member

 What a well run camp site and beautiful location, all the facilities are kept spotless and the food is superb if you use the B&B restaurant. All the staff are friendly and very knowledgeable about the local area. We have never had such a warm and friendly reception. 


Date of Visit: August 2014 Unit:  Campervan
Reviewer: Jaspergucci 27 reviews from this member

 Just returned from this site. We were there for 5 days. When we arrived we requested a different pitch as we were put next to the toilets and bins. This was dealt with in a professional and friendly manner and they offered us a choice of 2 other pitches. The site itself is lovely and open with great views from most of the pitches (not ours unfortunately). The facilities (toilets, showers, potwash)were clean and the general upkeep was well maintained. The pitches are of a generous size with small fencing to separate boundaries. There is a good phone signal and there is wifi at the site. The showers were good with no silly timers to stop the water. There is a large field to the front where kids can play football etc. It is in a great location, walking distance to the beach and Holyhead is 10 minutes in the car/bike or £4. 90 for a taxi.

A couple of downsides:

1) All the best pitches with the best views were taken up by seasonal caravans, most of which were empty when we were there. There were 3 or 4 campervans arrived and left while we were there and everyone seemed to be put in the first three pitches by the toilets and bins with no views! Not sure why this is as you pay your money the same as a caravan.

2) We had take away fish and chips from the on site café and although very tasty, they were the most expensive fish and chips I have ever had! Over £8 each. My advice if you fancy fish and chips while you are there is to take the short drive into Holyhead where they are £4 and just as nice!

All in all a nice site, friendly staff, great views (mostly), nice clean facilities, very quiet and relaxing but wouldn't return due to the lack of a nice view where we were.

Reviewer: Evofylde 5 reviews from this member

 Outstanding!

Perfect in virtually every way. Stunning location. Well kept. Gorgeous site. Richard, the owner, was very helpful & polite. Really was a joy to be there.

Enjoyed Fish n Chip night on the Friday. Superb food. Small shop is well stocked with treats and drinks at good price. Facilities on site are fab, no playground, but loads of space and our 7 and 9 year old were more than happy.

We visited during heat wave at end of July. It was busy but never seemed to be busy. Plots are big and well spread out.

Will defo visit again. A stunning campsite.

Reviewer: Frogg 2 reviews from this member

 This is a very well kept campsite the best we have been to so far, the toilet and shower facilities are very clean and everything works including hot showers! free! no coins needed. Free hair dryers as well, There is also a family wash room with a shower toilet and a bath! such luxury. There are drinking water stand pipes. There is wifi but you have to pay for it. It is lacking a playground for the children there is plenty of room for one, but the fields are large enough room for ball games.

There is a very small restaurant on site bearing in mind there is a B&B, cottages and caravans, campers seemed to be treated as second class! and last on the list. The food we found to be very expensive indeed, prices on parr with first class restaurant! oh and there is not food or shop available on Sundays we were given leaflets for take out delivery services from Holyhead. There is a small shop in the office for supplies. There is also facilities to wash and dry clothes which we found very helpful due to really bad rain on the first day. The owners were polite. I must add the beach coves in the area are numerous and very close and beautiful and the kids loved them, and so many place to visit, including Stackhouse light house. Trearddur bay, The office has many leaflets for things to do. Yes we would go again.
