Had a lovely week in Fron Farm, despite the weather. Its a lively site with an ice cream van which visits regularly in warm weather and The Grill Team van provides great hot snacks like burgers and hot roast rolls!
The toilet blocks are cleaned twice a day but the cleanliness of the block would be better if those staying at the site were encouraged to clean up after themselves - perhaps a mop and bucket can be provided so we can mop the shower after each use? Other sites do it with success.
Also a washing machine and dryer would be really good.
The owners and reception team were friendly and helpful. On arrival we were given a 'brochure' with local attractions, take-aways, etc - this was really helpful on one of the nights we didn't feel like cooking!
They do pony rides on Saturday nights for the children and another night they do 'barrel rides' for the kids where Farmer Dylan pulls a 'train' of kids in modified barrels on wheels - the kids and parents love it!
You can feed the sheep and the chickens too.
There is also loads to do in the area - Loggerheads and Llangollen are worth a visit and family friendly.
We have visited from farm a few times over the last year and it really is a fantastic place for all ages. We have 2 young kids and the barrel rides and pony rides are a must for any child and they are really cheap to. Being a working farm you can wander round and see the sheep and cows and there's a little pets corner with hamsters and chickens which you are welcome to feed - they sell chicken feed in the shop. The shop stocks lots of locally produced meat and a good selection of things you might have run out of.
The shower blocks are clean and all the water points and disposal facilities are very good and kept tidy.
There is a good little Market on a Saturday which sells all kinds of things and as it is in the town is easy for shopping. There is a aldi and a lidi near by within 10 minutes drive and there are lots of pubs - would recommend the antelope as was really nice and very reasonable priced (kids were £1 and adults 2 for £10).
As a family we really love from farm and came several times in 2012, we were booked for Easter 2013 but unfortunately due to bad weather we had to change but this certainly hasn't put us off and we will be returning soon.
Can't really think of a bad point to be honest is easy to get to and well signposted and very pretty surroundings, can't beat having a coffee in the sun with the cows singing to you.
We have been visiting the site for several years & have seen the number of caravans increase year on year, unfortunately the facilities have not increased. Whilst the views from the site are excellent, the approach road is narrow and the track up to the farm is very uneven.
There are few showers/toilets for the size of the site, and few wash hand basins for those campers who do not wish to shower. As it was wet during our stay the showers were in a muddy state and no mop is provided to clean the shower after use. It was necessary to shower one handed as the showers are push button type but set only for a couple of seconds, one of the ladies' showers would only operate while the button was depressed ! The price has increased year on year but still has no laundry facilities.
There is a children's play area but the roadways were full of children playing on bikes.
It is several miles to the nearest town of Mold which has several supermarkets and an excellent street market on Wednesdays & Saturdays.
We (2 adults & 2yr old) had our first experience at Fron Farm, a somewhat wet weekend away-didn’t dampen our spirits though!
We pulled up at reception and were shown to our pitching area (given the choice of which out of approximately 12 pitches). All these were flat and a very good size!
We were surprised at the size of the site which is split into loads of ‘smaller areas’ which added to the friendly relaxed atmosphere (our 12 pitch area being one of them), our pitch was opposite a water point with a second within 30seconds walk and the toilets within 1min walk.
The Toilet Block:
The toilets were cleaned regularly. The gents comprised of 3 cubicles (including disabled), a few urinals and 4/5 showers (free hot water - although similar to swimming pools, keep pressing the button!). The ladies were similar with several toilet cubicles – one being disabled with a baby changing bench in it, several hand basins (all ‘adult height’), three showers – one disabled with shower chair in it.
The only downfall to this was no ‘family room’/area to change and wash baby/toddler – had to half strip in the basin area to wash then take into disabled toilet area to dress. Not a major issue for a weekend but may stop us returning for a longer stay.
Shop:
Small shop in reception area – stocks essentials including fresh bacon/eggs etc. Also a nice hot food van on site majority of the time (nice chips!)
Playground:
Lovely wooden play area – Signs to say it closes at 9pm, and although couldn’t see it from our tent it seemed to happen as noise died down.
Noise Levels
Noise rule of quiet after 10.30 - Everyone seemed to stick to this more or less. Majority of people round us had children so were winding down by 10ish anyway. One evening (early on) a largish group of teenagers used the area as a drinking area - was only 1 night so may have been a one off.
Locale:
Went to Chester zoo- approx 30mins, well worth a visit! On the way back we stopped at The Antelope pub – lovely meals (home-made chips delicious!), good value too!
General site comments:
The rules may seem like a long list but everyone seems to stick to most of them which means an enjoyable stay for all. The farm is fantastic – you can walk round and we did several times! We saw Pigs, cows, lambs, goats and chickens – 2yr old loved it!
I and my friends have visited this site on a number of occasions and have found it a very good site.
At the last visit they had put the prices up. The family do a great job but at our last visit the showers and toilets were not clean. Also there was a problem with the hot water at the ladies.
Also the Electricity went off. I think if you put you prices up you need to at least maintain your standards. I am sorry to say they have taken their eye off the ball. Hopefully they will get it sorted.
The area is great and close to mold town, a great little town.
Conclusion: I will revisit this site and hope they have improved on my last visit.
This is a lovely site on a working farm in North Wales. The owners are great and make guests really welcome. At the time we went children were able to bottle feed the lambs which was great, they offered short pony rides again which the children thoroughly enjoyed. We all enjoyed the woodland walk (run by the owners) that takes you through some lovely bluebell woods to a small traditional pub for a drink before the walk back.
The site reception has basic supplies and lovely fresh farm eggs. But there is a large Tesco in Mold 10 minutes drive away if you need to stock up.
The site has a children's play area and plenty of space for the children to play.
We were on a grass pitch with EHU which was flat and near to all the facilities. Good TV and Mobile reception. It was a bank holiday weekend and although the site was pretty full the pitches are all a good size and it didn't feel busy.
We have already booked to go back, it a lovely welcoming site.
We stayed for two nights the weekend after the bank holiday. After a speedy and friendly check-in, we were shown a choice of pitches (note to self: don't pitch right next to toilet block where the outside lights are on all night!).
Toilets and showers were spotless as was the dishwashing area. The playground was brilliant and the kids loved it. There is a separate playing field for ball games which again, the kids loved (and us!).
The kids also enjoyed the lamb feeding and pony rides. It was a joy to see the kids' faces as they were doing these activities! Don't forget some apples and carrots to feed the horses with!
Overall, this is a brilliant site, we had a fab time (and fab weather) and we will definitely return
Excellent site. We only stayed for one night as weather was not good. We were told to pitch up where we liked then pay later. It was mid week so very quiet.
The site is lovely, with a children's play area, toilet blocks and an on site shop. One of the toilet blocks was new. In very good condition and very well maintained.
Owners were very welcoming and helpful. Perfect location and ideal for families. We will definitely be returning.
We chose Fron Farm through good reviews on here, and the site is as lovely as the reviewers state. We came in a group of 2 families, with 4 children under 5. We needed EHU but the other party didn't. We were allowed to pitch together, and was placed on the triangle as we asked to be near the playground. Cerris was very helpful and accommodated our wishes exactly.
Pitch sizes are generous 10 x 10m and are flat. The campsite is spread out and is fairly private, having lovely 'avenues'. I liked the fact that tents were pitched among the tourers/motor homes, rather than stuck out in some rally field furthest away from the facilities ;-)
The older toilet block was our closest. It's dated but clean, but I showered in the new wooden toilet block further up the hill (just a minute further walk) as they were nicer. Both facilities were cleaned regular.
As we camped out of season, there was no pony rides. We asked Dylan about the tractor pull, which he charges £2 for Alder Hey charity, but he's stopped running it now. He did say that he's planning to use special barrels on wheels next year that conform to health & safety regulations. Not as much fun, but safer. However, he'll have to charge for this as the barrels are expensive.
There is an ice cream van that tours the site, and a burger van, but this was closed due to the season. As it was the hottest October day on record, he missed out on that one!
The playground is very good and a hit with the kids. It was a real treat to see the animals as well. There is a small shop in reception and we can fully recommend the burgers and the eggs!
Overall, it's a lovely laid out site and we had a fantastic time. Fully recommended for families.
Just returned from a weekend at fron farm, being a novice (3rd time only!)
I found the location, facilities, cost, pitch, children activities and overall experience exceptional
My 4 year daughter was fully occupied and really enjoyed the on site pony rides and feeding the animals.
I feel I must recommend the local pub ( the antelope ) for the outstanding quality of pub grub and beers, but, beware, not in walking distance, eight pound taxi ride one way, but well worth it, treat yourself !
Just had 2 very enjoyable nights at this lovely farm. Working farm, lovely welcome with choice of pitch. Lovely play area for the children, nice and safe.
Two shower blocks within a minute of each other, newer block is the better but both had free hot showers and were quite clean.
The 10. 30 noise was definitely stuck too, I think the wardens are on site a lot so this helps.
There is a reasonably priced burger van, reception with a small shop selling basics and an ice cream van calls to site daily.
There are animals to feed, 3 very hungry piggies, the kids adored feeding them all. Chickens, goats. Pony rides were £2, money donated to charity and the best was the tractor rides. Kids come from everywhere to have a go.
Dylan and his family are a very nice family, they are friendly and genuinely appear to love seeing kids having fun. They go out of their way to ensure you are enjoying your stay. And they raise a lot for charity too. Kids cant wait to go back and have already booked again.
This was our first time camping (me hubby and granddaughter age 7) We chose this site because the reviews were very positive on the family site aspect. And we were not disappointed.
On arrival we were greeted by a very friendly chap and were told we could choose our own pitch. The site is very well maintained, and the toilets/showers are kept immaculate.
The playground is in the centre of the camp and it has everything on it, swings, slide, climbing frame, our granddaughter loved the tree stump to climb on. The reception has a little shop inside (open 10am till 4pm) the first day I didn't realize it closed at 4pm but the owner saw me and opened up so I could get some milk.
We all loved feeding the animals, we took apples carrots and cabbage and had great fun feeding them all. It was a very relaxed atmosphere and the 10. 30pm no noise policy was adhered to. All the campers were so friendly and chatty it made my first camping experience a great one, and raring to go again.
The nearest town is about 3 miles away and has a Tesco / Aldi / Greggs a few bakers and a Mcdonalds, in fact it has everything you may need, on the first night we were freezing so popped into Mold to buy another duvet, we got one from the B&Ms store there.
My only negative point about the site would be, we went Weds to Fri and they don't seem to do the tractor pull or pony rides during the week.
I would recommend this site to anyone, especially families, had a great time and would definitely go back.
Just back from our first weekend camping as a family. The wife and I used to camp several years ago, and we went away and stayed with a great mate and his missus and our kids recently, but this was our first time in our new tent with the two boys (4 and 2) and we managed to pick a great place to stay.
The site was easy to find, in easy driving distance of a big Tesco in Mold, and well laid out. Pitched on the Ranch field, we had our own little group of three tents. Toilet/washing facilities were good, free hot showers appreciated.
Kids loved the animals, especially my two year old who cried when we drove past the pigs/goats/chickens on the way out and said goodbye! Tractor pull was an experience, and they loved that but beware it can be a bit of a free for all getting on. Great value though - and the fresh eggs in the shop were top notch.
Very happy overall, pleased our Voyager 6 off of eBay turned out to be a cracker and that the site was so good for families. We'll be going back soon.
Fantastic campsite and we hope to return in September. We stayed with 3 children (11, 2 and 6 months) and all had a great time. Really child friendly site, the animals were a hit as were pony and tractor rides.
The pony rides are what you would expect, but the tractor rides were not for the faint-hearted! You are towed along on a strip behind the tractor clinging on to the person in front of you across bumpy fields and tracks. Our 11 year-old loved it!There is a playground for the children and loads of space to play.
Owners couldn't do enough to help. Definitely understood families and stayed long past the time advertised for rides to make sure all the kids waiting got a turn.
Little shop stocked basic essentials and we all bought eggs to take home. Burger van on site too which was a blessing on the last night when we were tired and it rained.
The pitches themselves were flat and huge! With a large 4 man tent and cars there was still plenty of room all round.
Toilet block was small but despite the site being busy, rarely had to wait. They were basic but clean which is all you need really!
The route you are directed up is a single track road which if you don't fancy that is a bit hairy! However, if coming from Mold, if you take the turning before that (into a woodland site, but easy to miss) you get directly into farm on a better road.
Was also very good value. Bargain for the time of year - in fact bargain for any time of year!
All in all, we loved our stay and as I said are already planning to come back. Would definitely recommend it.
We stayed here for the first time at the weekend, and could not fault the place! Very clean shower blocks, great friendly staff who worked tirelessly to keep the site spotless. The pitches were large and a play area for the kids was a blessing. The tractor rides were so much fun and all in a good cause! Monty’s eggs were delicious. Pony rides for the kids, we liked it so much we have booked in for the weekend again, a week in August and also for the Special Halloween weekend. Keep up the good work Fron Farm it’s a lovely place to visit!
