Reviewer: The Feredays 1 review from this member

 This was the first time we ever went camping as a family of 4 (2x adults and 2 x children ages 9 and 4) and we loved it. The camp site itself was in beautiful surroundings and each pitch spaced out perfectly, giving you a feel of privacy, particularly on the XL pitches. The pitch we had was facing the toilets/showers which was extremely handy and we would definitely see if this pitch was available the next time we book! The camp rules are clear and the other campers I'm pleased to say adhered to them, the showers were clean and they consisted of 2 cubicles in the men's and 2 cubicles in the women's. The toilets, were also clean with a hairdryer in the ladies for a small charge of 20p. You can buy eggs/sausages and burgers from the farm for a reasonable price. The site is close to a Tesco and the town centre which was only 10 minute walk away and The Harp Inn served lovely food up to 7. 30pm. The site is in a great location, 20 minutes from Llandudno, Conwy and Colwyn Bay. In the opposite direction is Towyn and Rhyl, which was great for us with the children. We would definitely recommend this camp site and are looking to book again very soon, we will be looking to upgrade to a bigger tent too, we have the camping bug ( HA HA )

Reviewer: Mrs E 44 reviews from this member

 I've had this campsite in my virtual brochure for some time now and this year we finally made it to North Wales!

We paid our £30 deposit on booking and reserving a hardstanding pitch with the balance being payable on arrival (you can pay this before you arrive if you want to).

We checked the directions via their website and yes, you can go directly through the arch (it's on your left) shortly after the Tesco which will be on your right as you come through Abergele.

Warm and friendly welcome on arrival and shown to our pitch and also where the water tap was. We were also informed where the washblock was, tourist info / leaflets, waste disposal, rubbish and washing up.

We had a mishap on the way down as our jockey wheel somehow worked it's way loose. Jules happily gave us directions to a caravan dealer/shop and we were able to get a new jockey wheel fairly quickly.

Our pitch was up in the far right corner of the site (as you approach). It was a gravelled hardstand with grass surrounding it and backed onto the golf course. Initially, my husband was a little concerned about the fact the golf course was so close but this did not prove problematic at all.

The area of the park we were in felt spacious to the layout of pitches as most of the hardstands were separated by low level fencing and some planting. The fields at the entrances (South and North Paddock) felt as if they would be much busier, but that have just been my own impression.

The washblock contained 2 showers and 4 toilets in the Ladies and similar for the Men. They are free, although the shower head is not adjustable and neither is the temperature. I felt they were the right temperature and yes, they are push button but this helps to conserve water.

Abergele and it's various shops and pubs is about a 10-15 min walk from the site and the Tesco is less than that if you are walking. There are various places to eat if you don't want to cook i. E. The pubs, Trawlers Chippy, chinese takeaway / restaurants and also an indian. We had a takeaway from Wongs on our last night and it was really good.

We were lazy and drove to Pensarn beach - there are a few small catering outlets as well as a cafe which was both busy and obviously popular. Llandudno is a short drive - don't miss going up the Great Orme, whether you do this by tram, cable car or drive. We did two out of the 3 as the cable cars weren't operating on the day we took the tram.

We managed to stay a little later on our departure day and were allowed to move the caravan onto an unused pitch. This allowed us to walk up to Gwyrch Castle and also walk around the farm animals on site.

This was a quiet and peaceful park, although it did inevitably fill up with quite a few families with children over the bank holiday weekend but it was not noisy, unlike some camp sites we've stayed on!

I felt the site offered good value for money compared to other sites in the area and did not 'overprice' itself.

Just one final point and it's not a criticism. There are two ways in/out of the site - one being coming through the arch and the other continuing a little further down the main road. I am wondering if one should be an 'In road' and the other an 'Out/Exit road' to avoid other caravans arriving/exiting. Although, we personally didn't experience this at all.

Thank you Manorafon for a relaxing and peaceful stay.

N. B. I've not rated on child friendliness as we don't have children

 I booked Manorafon Farm as a last minute, one night break for me and my partner for our anniversary, we ended up staying for a further two nights over the May bank holiday. It was serine. It had a lovely friendly atmosphere, it was quite despite the amount of families present, which we wouldn't usually be keen on. Everybody was so plesent and they were all easy to talk to.

The toilets and shower block was spotless, of course there were small shards of grass laying on the floor but what do you expect?

The owners remembered mine and my partners names once we arrived after only speaking to them over the phone as well ass remembering that it was out anniversary. It's the small things.

We got placed near the top of the hill which was beautiful and we were welcomed with beautiful views of the sea, the scenery below and our gorgeous campsite.

It is a very well maintained campsite and the rules that are put into place are really taken on board.

Me and my boyfriend thoroughly enjoyed the small farm and for the kids they sell small bags of feed so you can have a more hands on experience when venturing the farm.

I loved this place, everywhere is so easily accessible, the local pubs are a 10/15 minute walk as well as the convenience stores and the superstore is closer still. The Welsh Mountain Zoo, Colwyn Bay, Rhos and Conwy castle are all under a 30 minute drive.

We have just bought a brand new tent and we are planning our next trip to Manorafon Farm very soon!

I thoroughly enjoyed it!

 Just visited this site for the May day weekend. Lovely pitch, well laid out and pleasant views over castle and the sea. Toilets and showers spotless and good access to bus stop and shops. Useful big tesco five minutes walk away. As already mentioned could do with a drain for the grey water for motorhomes but otherwise a site we would use again.

Reviewer: Altom 24 reviews from this member

 Lovely campsite and very easy to access. Good level pitches, well laid out.

Loads of animals to see- goats, sheep, chickens, donkeys and more.

Owners very helpful with local information and always available when required.

Ability to buy fresh eggs and frozen sausages, burgers etc at the farmhouse.

Clean toilets, didn't use shower facilities so I cannot comment but they looked clean and well maintained

Easy distance to supermarket, shops and restaurants on foot as well as by car.

Bus stop at the site entrance so ideal for motor homes.

Reviewer: Pami212 1 review from this member

 Just needed break, very peacefully and relaxing, owners very friendly and welcoming, nothing too much trouble. Walks down to beach with dog and around castle very accommodating. Try home produce. Eggs fabulous. Will certainly return. Only draw back for motorhomes is there is no drive over used water drainage.

Reviewer: Lynne11 2 reviews from this member

 What a wonderful find. A lovely welcome by Jules, and all the information we needed. A great hard standing with electricity for £17. 50, in the most stunning location with views of the castle and golf course. Toilet block immaculate, great for walking or cycling to the castle and Tesco and Abergele Town, and for anyone with children or grandchildren, the small animal farm and trail is wonderful.

We will be returning very soon, so glad we discovered this tranquil site.

 Lovely site with essential facilities within easy access regarding shower block, water taps and Elson facilities. Excellent local views from site of a castle, and site adjacent to local golf course for those inclined. A short walk of 10-15min into Abergele for local shops pubs and restaurants. We dined on the Main Street one evening at the local Indian restaurant- highly recommended!

Site is clean spotless and very well maintained. We found it very quiet and peaceful, with warm and friendly reception on arrival, and site users respect each other's space and privacy.

The site is within short time travelling for local sight seeing and easy access to local places of interest.

Would we use the site again? Most definitely !

 What can I say about this fabulously campsite, the pitches are very good and level, very new shower and toilet block clean and tidy well stocked, just need to sort out the timing on the lights, went out if you where in the showers for more then three minutes, but it was quite !. Will come again.

 Short break just after Easter. Lovely site with great views, spacious pitches and close to the town centre. Although only 2 showers, never had to queue. Push button (still find this very annoying) but water always hot. 10-15 minute walk to beach which has the benefit of free parking and several cafes. Only 1 dog friendly pub in the town centre. Enjoyed our 2 days and hope to return soon.

 Just returned from 3 wonderful days at this campsite. Will and Jules are extremely friendly and helpful.

The site is lovely, The facilities are very clean, the location excellent with Abergele within walking distance and a bus route just outside the campsite gates.

The farm animals are delightful especially the Baby Goats. Its very well worth a visit for touring North Wales. Thankyou. 


Date of Visit: April 2015 Unit:  Campervan
Reviewer: AngeG 1 review from this member

 Stayed at Manorafon for two nights in our campervan just our second trip of the year. The campsite was really easy to find and the the entrance to the site was very impressive although the road was a little bumpy/pot holes after the walled entrance. We had a great hardstanding pitch with hook up. As it was mid week it was nice and peaceful. Great toilet and shower block, Laundry and freezer available if you wanted it.

The site is on a working farm and it was lovely to see the animals in the fields, we saw a pheasant and little goat walking around with the staff on the farm. It was so cute. You can buy meats from the house which all sounded really lovely nice in the summer for a BBQ.

The campsite is in a great location, right near the castle although closed its outstanding, 20 minute walk to the beach and shops and pubs just a five minute walk away.

There is a bus stop outside the campsite to take you into Llandudno or Rhyl if you fancy a change of scenery.

We loved the site and would highly recommend this campsite to all.

Reviewer: Sisqimilo 1 review from this member

 Just enjoyed a lovely stay here. Peaceful site yet only ten minutes walk from the town amenities. Toilet block very clean, although could possibly do with more than 2 showers.

Set on a working farm but its quiet and relaxing. We took our 2 dogs and the shingle beach is about 20 minutes walk where they can have a good run.

You must try the farm pork sausages and burgers they sell, they are absolutely delicious - can highly recommend the pork & black pepper sausage!

We will definitely be visiting again.

Reviewer: JOHNW171 1 review from this member

 We have just come back from here after a short weekend break Fri-Sun & all I can say is how impressed we were with everything, We went as a party of 7, 6 Adults & 1 Child, we were placed directly outside the farmhouse which we nicknamed the Naughty Pitch so they could keep an eye on us. The site is very well looked after clean & tidy & well laid out, the Toilet Shower block is the cleanest I've seen on a campsite & the showers were lovely & warm also there is a laundry room with a Washer & a Dryer inside which we did not use as well as a Freezer, there is a short walk up to Gwrych Castle which we did & fortunately on the Sunday it was open to the public which was great. The staff at Manorafon were pleasant & helpful & it was nice that the Chickens were left to roam free which my Daughter loved, it was also nice that she could stoke the Goats in the pen next to where we pitched, the only thing that did spoil it a little was the traffic noise from the A55 but that could not be helped, all in all we had a brilliant weekend & will definitely be going back next year.
