We have just returned from a 5 day break at The Willows. First impressions are excellent, we were greeted by the owner, who showed us to our pitch and told us to get ourselves set up, have a cup of tea before returning to reception to sort out payment and passes etc. Which was nice and laid back and a very friendly way to handle things.
The weather was shocking, but we were 'sans enfants' (thanks grandfolk) so for us the freedom was enough! I would say that even though we are parents, we did choose this site because although they accept children, because of the site rules there wouldn't be so many (call me a hypocrite). Personally I wouldn't bring my own kids here, as I like to supervise my children's play and with the play field (which does have football nets and a basket ball net - plus tons of space) being out of the way this wouldn't be possible and they are too young for this level of independence just yet.
The facilities are absolutely immaculate, much attention to detail everywhere - I don't empty the toilet but its a first for me to see an elsan with a sink and handwash next to it! We are 5 star camp site regulars but the showerblock is of the highest quality that I have ever seen, the fittings are outstanding, they are spotlessly clean and there are cloths and mops to help you keep it that way!
The owners treat you like old friends, nothing is too much bother and they seemed genuinely interested in our stay and that we made the most of it.
There are walks, cycle paths and recommendations of where to dine, takeaways and food delivered. In our opinion avoid Tremfan Hall, very very pretentious, despite us telling them well in advance it was our 10 year wedding anniversary service was dismal and their focus was entirely on their Warren regular customers ho hum!
The only downside I can mention about this site is that some of the pitches are quite small, but then you have so much space in front of you then this probably wouldn't matter (we just didn't get the weather to spend any time outside). A bit of a quirk here is that you get grey waste disposal but not water hook up so do bring your aqua roll and 'handle' which we forgot! [At this point I should also remark on how friendly this site is, our fellow caravanner next door lent us his aqua roll handle and everyone passed the time of day or chatted to each other which was lovely!] There is a tap very close to most pitches. Some pitches may need an extension lead to hook up (25m).
Another slight gripe for me is that there are hair dryers in the ladies showerblock which I think charge 20p - I can understand paying for them because they are quality hair dryers and wear out very quickly if in over frequent use. However, I think in a 5 star site, there should be free power points for other vanity items or even to plug in your own hair dryer which I have encountered at other sites. As after all when the showerblock is as good as it is at the Willows you want to use it instead of your own caravan!
I've given this site an 8 out of 10 only because I feel it could be a little more child friendly without detracting from the peace and quiet site they work so hard to achieve, but I understand that it is a hard balance to strike! For couples though, its pretty hard to beat.
Management response: Many thanks for your review. Just to clarify, our play area is directly behind the touring field, parents of young children do supervise their children there, it is not impossible to do, they go with their children and play with them.
We do charge 20p for hairdryer and straightener use. We do not charge for WIFI unlike the £6 a day charged by many other 5 Star sites.
This is a splendid site, it is costly but the facilities reflect this.
We visited as a couple with just one of our three children. The site is very quiet and peaceful. The washrooms are magnificent
I do, however, think we would feel uncomfortable if we had the three children (age 18 down to 8) with us. The site rules are very strict concerning noise. The owners (to their credit) enforce those rules.
We had considered coming here for a weekend with my sister and her family. A quick chat with the owners and we were told this was not possible. They do not accept bookings of more than one tent at a time. If you do try to book separately then meet up on the camping field, then you may be asked to leave. This is because of the noise potential. To be fair this is clear on the website.
All in all a fabulous site for a quiet and relaxing time, just be very quiet after 9pm !
Just got back from a week tent camping here. We had heard how fantastic the site was from reviews here and personal recommendations and the reality didn't disappoint! The facilities are spotless, the toilet block cleaner than most hotels, the dishwashing area clean and tidy and a very useful information hut with info on local attractions, magazines, menus of local restaurants etc. The site was very quiet, indeed we had the tent field to ourselves, with it being early in the season, but I can't imagine the site being overrun and we had no problem with letting the children walk over to the large play field. The grass pitches are bowling green quality and the views towards Snowdonia are amazing!Anna and Miles are very welcoming and helpful and made us feel at home here. Thank you for such a lovely week and we look forward to coming again!
Wow a fantastic site, fantastic facilities, fantastic location and fantastic greeting from the owners who have obviously worked so hard to create such an exclusive and luxury caravan park, all of these things made our stay so perfect, although we could have done with just a few more days of sunshine!
We thought the new toilet and shower block well thought out and the information chalet a good idea. Local shop which we could walk to for the little things we needed was good and Abersoch is a nice little town with a few good restaurants, thanks again, we will be back
Stayed here in August, just me and my teenager daughter. Originally for 7 nights, but loved the place and area so much booked for another 3 nights.
The site is lovely and the views are amazing. Fantastic toilet block with hairdryer (pay extra). You can plug in your own hairdyer / straighteners. Never had to queue for showers and the water was always hot. The wash up area is under cover and has a kettle (pay extra) and a fridge. Both are kept absolutely spotless.
Site is set over three camping fields and the caravans are in a fourth field. They tend to put families in one field. There is a play area but no playground.
The fields are very well drained and no mud anywhere, also seemed more sheltered than some of the other sites in this area.
There is a well stocked shop about five mins away and a mini market type shop a few more mins away down the road
The owners are very friendly and gave us lots of local information, gave us directions to a lovely beach that was well hidden, you would never find it if you did not know where it was! The site has a summerhouse also packed with information, and a TV, games and books.
The location of this site was ideal for us, only about ten minute drive to Abersoch and all of the wonderful beaches within this area could be reached within half an hour drive tops. Whispering sands, Hells Mouth, and you must visit Ty Coch Inn at Porthdinlaen, pub on the beach. All had something different to offer. You feel miles away from the hustle of Abersoch, yet in reality everywhere on this peninsula is only a short drive away.
There is a great little art gallery at llanderog Plas Glynn –y-weddw. The food in the café there was good value for money and really nice. Also some lovely walks start from this gallery. People have campfires on Llanbedrog beach at night.
Abersoch is very busy and we made the mistake of driving there at about seven to eat. However, everywhere was fully booked, and I mean everywhere! Could not even accommodate us two. The trick is is visit Abersoch during the day and book then. The Mexican restaurant was very popular, and although it did not open till six, people started queuing at five just to book when the doors opened at six!
Lovely site and worth a visit. It deserves its 5 star award. The owners have worked hard to make this a beautiful site.
We booked this site for three nights over the August bank holiday. What a wonderful site it is, well deserving of its five stars.
It's a small site, and absolutely immaculate. The tent field we stayed in was flat and each pitch area is large and well marked out. Views across the bay to snowdownia are stunning.
The toilet block was without a doubt the nicest and cleanest I have stayed in in the UK. I wish other campsite owners could come and see how it can be done properly. An absolute pleasure to go for a shower here with mops provided to keep the area how you found it, as everyone did. Was so pleased to see a little step has been provided at the sink area to enable children to access the taps and soap dispenser. It's little touches like this that make a good site into a great one.
Pot wash area also very clean (according to my husband).
Large play field available for the children to run around on, and as the site is private with a barrier we had no worries letting the children (7 and 8) head off to play here unsupervised.
Very, very quiet in the evenings and overnight which suits us.
Site owner was extremely helpful and welcoming and even provided us with spare pegs as we had left the groundsheet peg bag at home.
Just returned back from a fabulous week at ‘The Willows’ probably one of the best sites in the country.
We had a good drive down from Lancashire and if you follow the instructions you will find it without any problem at all.
It’s a site designed with care.
The main caravan field is grass based with hard standings for caravans. Plenty of room to manoeuvre the caravan in as it been designed to give visitors a site without feeling cramped in like pre-war back to back terraced houses!
Electric and a TV point are laid on and the fresh water pitch is only a few metres away from every caravan.
There is a field for children to play on and a dog walk field too with a bin.
There is a wooden cabin to wash dishes and the toilet/shower block is very smart and feels clean at all times.
Llanbedrog beach is five mins drive away and you can park at the National Trust Car Park. There is a restaurant on the beach too serving excellent food and also ice cream.
Shopping wise Abersoch is not the best but it’s not geared up as Blackpool etc (thank goodness). Some of the shops in nearby Phwelli could do with customer service training their staff…. I might be a tourist but I spend money which helps their economy!
All in all it was a lovely week away and would I visit the Willows again? Most definitely and would also recommend it to fellow caravanners.
I stayed a few nights in one of their two 'hobbit holes' - wooden chalets shaped like old gypsy caravans situated at the end of one of the small camping fields. The hobbit holes were fantastic convenient accomodation. The strict rules about quietness and no groups and no children playing by your tents make for a very peaceful site. That suited me at the time. It might not suit everyone. To be fair the website is very open and clear about the policy.
As others have said the shower blocks were exceptionally good. Very clean and modern. And its a beautiful area of the world.
Well where do you start. What a fantastic site, views to die for. When you first arrive there your first impression is Wow! The signs are clear and concise. Miles in reception is very helpful.
With being a small campervan you are allocated a specific pitch. The great point is that Anna and Miles have thought of every detail. They have large wooden chocks for levelling up, once again the view was gorgeous.
Shower block as is in webpage, large, spotless and clean. There detail is second to none, buckets and mops and large squeegee for cleaning the floor after showering, as you would at home.
Dishwashing area very well laid out with fridge, kettle and microwave. Anna never stops working around her site. That is why the site is so impressive.
The pitch sizes are massive and I mean massive, so you don't feel crowded. If they could give 6*s this site deserves it. Well Done, we will be back. The price, you get what you pay for. Simples eek!
This is a lovely campsite, very peaceful. We had a very wet and windy first night but the awning survived – dogs did have wet beds though where the water soaked up through the breathable groundsheet.
The pitches are well spaced with room for caravan, awning and car which is unusual. Free Wifi was welcome too. The shower block is virtually new and is kept very clean. Not sure if the three loos and showers for females would be enough in the high season as the campsite has one caravan area and three tent areas.
There is a lovely long dog walk within walking distance of the site and thankfully has no sheep along it. We found it quite difficult to find places to walk the dogs due to the sheep, especially trying to follow the welsh coastline. Our dogs are fine with sheep but we had been told of dogs being shot by farmers so were particularly cautious.
We don’t tend to revisit sites as there is always somewhere else in England we want to go but would highly recommend this site to other couples for a relaxing, peaceful break.
The only fault I could find was the push button showers as they did not stay on long enough to even get fully wet. Also the shower block was not heated.
Management response: The toilet block is heated [a necessity for 5 star sites], push button showers are pre-set by manufacturer and are standard. The number of toilets and showers is ample for a site the size of ours, a total of 22 caravans and 22 tents. [7 showers, 7 toilets and urinals. 8 vanity basins and private cubicle]
A beautiful site. The views across the bay are spectacular. Each pitch is carefully managed and there is plenty of room. We went over the Easter weekend, the weather wasn't brilliant but the area around the pitches did not become a muddy patch. The fields are well kept. The facilities are excellent and the owners lovely. If you want a peaceful well kept site with beautiful views then the willows is for you. There are lovely walks from the campsite. Restaurants in nearby Abersoch were fully booked over the Easter weekend so on busy weekends book in plenty of time, we did manage to have a beautiful meal at the Dining room, the service and ambience was perfect. We also used the chip shop in Abersoch on a few occasions. The burgers sold at the campsite were delicious.
We took a VW Camper on our first trip and The Willows was our first campsite. We were not disappointed.
We began in the aftermath of Hurricane Katia and were given a sheltered pitch a stones throw from a spotless shower block and dishwashing facility with solar ground lights lighting the path.
Our breakfasts were taken admiring amazing views. We would highly recommend this small friendly site where the business of making your holiday relaxing.
With lots of local information displayed, local produce available to buy and a good pub within walking distance.
An amazing fish restaurant a short taxi (Taxi driver was very friendly too) ride away
This is a superb campsite, secure entry gate to site, nice spacious pitches which are well tended, Miles was often seen cutting the grass to keep everywhere tidy. Shower/loos were 5 star, handy cabin with freezer facilities and information leaflets on things to do in the area, I used the washer and dryer room which was useful and very clean. Site was in ideal location for visiting the many beaches in the area, our pitch had a fantastic view over the bay. Nice big field available for kids to play on, preferred this to having lots of children playing near the tents. This was our first time camping for more than 4 nights and we felt safe and comfortable here, would definitely recommend and hope to visit again in the future.
This was our first camping holiday as a family, and we were not let down.
The Willows is now the benchmark for all our future camping trips.
The site is very clean and very modern looking, fully lit with solar lights down paths, water for drinking from a tap on the field, bins, bricks to lift disposable BBQ's, an area with 3 or 4 sinks to wash cups plates etc and the shower / toilet block ! WoW, This is what makes camping more enjoyable, HOT water, 4 shower units ( in the mens, don't know about ladies ) with sinks and toilet facilities. Just what you need after a full day on the beach.
Anna and Miles really have quite the setup here, the views are amazing of the mountains in the distance and the sea close by.
The Willows was such a nice place to stay, Miles saw that myself and wife struggling with erecting the tent and came over and helped us set it up.
All in all this had to be one of my nicest holidays due to it being our first camping trip, my boy loving the whole camping experience, the weather be so sunny, and Anna and Miles making us feel welcome and providing such an amazing service.
