Just returned from a 4 day Easter break at Tyddyn Isaf. Upon arrival we were met by Simon who was very helpful and really friendly and welcoming. We were shown to our pitch we had EHU and the pitch was flat as we had requested.
The site is as described on the website, with clean, modern toilet/ shower blocks (free), amazing views and lots of areas for the children to play. We were provided with a key fob that gave us access to the beach, entry & exit to the site and for use to activate the showers.
The on site bar was lovely and very child friendly, we didn't sample the food sadly but listening to other people's comments, the menu was delicious!
This site is an ideal location to explore Angelsey. It is a little expensive but you get what you pay for and the people working at this site will do everything to ensure you have a pleasant stay.
The only criticism I would make is that the main toilet block is located by the fields that mostly have caravans and is a bit of a walk from the tent and motorhome fields, apart from that this site is perfect even in the rain!
We will definitely be returning to Tyddyn Isaf in the summer and hopefully again later on in the year.
We have just returned from an Easter weekend break at this camp site which is very well organised, extremely neat and tidy whose staff are extremely polite and willing to help, it has a well laid out park for children. The bins, chemical waste and fresh water are all near to the camping fields
The walk to the beach is about 10 minutes down hill along a private path through woods - you must remember your key fob to open the gate, you also need the key fob to operate the shower and to raise the barrier to enter and exit the site,
Toilets and showers very clean as you would expect from a high quality site
The down sides are the owners could perhaps update the directions a little as they seemed to be out of date to us and perhaps the reception could be manned instead of using a phone to enter the site and again to be sited on your pitch.
Please be aware the pitches are all on a slope its not a site for people with walking difficulties. I have not rated for children as we don't have any but do have 2 dogs who seemed to enjoy their holiday
We recently stayed one night at this site and found it disappointing. We had booked by phone expecting the facilities of bar with food, a shop and wifi all to be available as advertised.
For the cost of £25 per night and extra for an awning we were very let down that these services are closed until Friday evening. There was no reduction in fee to reflect this. We felt like we were staying in a ghost site with lots and lots of empty caravans and all services closed.
We had difficulty getting in to the site as the phones and intercoms are not answered, we met others having similar difficulties.
The views were good however as mentioned in an earlier review the pitches sloped. At a previous site we were offered ramps and help as to how best manage this.
At this site we were greeted after hanging around for quite sometime by a man who drove up in a car to welcome us and filled out all paperwork without stepping out of his car.
Promising a pub (as the on site bar was closed) 300 meters away, which was actually much further and a that the shop would be open the following day (turned out to be the evening of the following day when he knew we would be gone)
Excellent site with great staff especially the 2 men who run around the site cleaning all day and showing you to your pitch. Pitch's are very big and the site can be set up informal if there is a group of around 4 units. Not allowed at some sites.
Fantastic views from most pitches looking down to the sea but that does mean most pitches slope some more than others. Site sheltered from winds in most places due to high hedges this makes it feel less busy too. We heard some complaints that it was more expensive than others in the area but with free showers it does make a difference (we have spent up to �3 a day on some sites for 3 of us). Toilets and showers spotless at all times and is a credit to the guys who take a pride in keeping the facilities to a high standard that other sites don't match. The play area, shop and bar where all great assets and prices were reasonable a great place to meet others especially when it rained in evening and the telly was on in the games room! Great location for touring all of Angelsey, Wales and even a day trip to Ireland. We will definitely be back and can see why lots of people love this gem of a site, we now do! THANKS Tyddyn Isaf
The campsite caters mainly for caravans with one main field for tents. Our group of 3 tents was placed in another field of mainly caravans. This gave us a lovely secluded spot.
We were welcomed to the site by the owner who was very friendly and helpful. By far the best asset to the site was the enormous play area which our children spent hours on - not just the equipment but running and rolling down the hills. There was plenty of room for any number of children to play without being crowded.
The shower and toilet block was modern and clean and didn't seem crowded at any time. Washing up facilities were again clean. We did explore the path to the beach but found it a little bit of a trek when laden down with children, picnics, towels, beach toys etc.
Parts of the beach are also very muddy so it is worth exploring the beaches along this stretch to find the best one. There is a little shop on site which sells basic groceries, sweets and buckets and spades. On our arrival we were informed that the on site pub had a special offer on food on Tuesdays. We did take advantage of this and found the food to be delicious. However I think if the offer had not been on the food would have been considered a little expensive. More play equipment at the bar would also be welcome.
On the whole this is a beautiful, clean, safe site and I would definitely visit again.
We spent 3 nights at Tyddyn Isaf in August 2011. It has to be said that the site facilities are top notch, though I think this is reflected in the price.
The views over Lligwy Bay and beyond are superb and access to the beach is a 10 minute walk from the campsite.
The shower and toilet facilities are excellent, though the main (large) toilet/shower block is a bit of a walk from the camping fields and is strangely situated near to the mobile homes. The nearest toilet/shower block (1 shower + 2 toilets) is situated between 2 camping fields, so as you can imagine, there were regular queues at peak times!
The biggest downside was that the camping field and our pitch in particular was on quite a slope and unfortunately, this spoiled our camping experience somewhat. We noticed that the flatter pitches were the ones with electric hookups. Just something to be aware of!
A nice welcome, helpful staff, friendly atmosphere.
Lots of space for children to run about, and yet nice and peaceful.
Short walk to the beach. Recommend a latte coffee in the on site bar (with complimentary homemade brownies!). We booked last minute and consequently our pitch was on a slant which was hard work with 2 children (one of which had only been walking a few months!) - would request a flatter pitch on our next visit.
Lovely location with private access to Lligwy Beach.
Tent pitches are on sloping fields but with huge pitch sizes and assistance from the owners to choose a suitable spot this isn't an issue.
Facilities all clean and well maintained (how many other sites do you know where the owner would change a broken toilet seat at 10. 30pm on a Saturday night?).
Fantastic huge field for children to play although ball games would be a challenge due to the steep slope! All tent areas (there are three) had so much space that games can also be played in the field without disturbing fellow campers.
The slopes also give you a good workout when going up / down to the showers and toilets so not so good if you have any mobility problems.
Improvements? minor niggles really. Extra facilities at the middle tent field; recycling bins at all rubbish points (does Wales not offer plastics recycling?).
We would definitely visit again and recommend it - book early to avoid disappointment
What a lovely site, very clean and well kept, each field was surrounded by hedges, the fields were sloping. We found the staff friendly & helpful, eager to make any necessary improvements.
Toilet & shower facilities excellent, with music to keep you company. Large area for children to play. Fantastic location, easy walk to beach and coastal path.
The view from the Bar terrace was superb, just the job for relaxing with a glass of something refreshing in the evening. We had a lovely 4 night stay here with fantastic weather, we'll be back!
A word of warning, Taxi's on Anglesey are expensive! We made the error of getting a taxi, next time we'll walk up the lane to the bus stop.
Outstanding site - very clean and friendly with incredible sea views but sheltered pitches. We stayed 2 nights and found the facilities more than adequate, the toilet and shower blocks are very good and kept clean all day despite the large volume of people using them.
Our 2 youngsters spent all day on the play area and loved the lighthouse slide. Obviously a popular site judging by the number of visitors but come 11pm it was very quiet and there were no issues with noise apart from seagulls !
The on site pub is worth a visit but 10 minutes walk up the quiet lane leads you to the 'Pilot' pub with a double decker bus play area to keep the kids happy as well as a large outdoor play park.
What a fabulous site! Stunning views as you drive in absolutely breathtaking, owners very helpful. Lovely food in the bar/restaurant and fairly priced, lovely decking outside the pub to take in the amazing views with a glass of wine.
A little shop for essentials and sweets for the children to buy! The site is extremely secure and I felt happy to let my children play on the huge play area which has some old equipment on and could do with a little updating, but saying that - the children had hours of fun on the helter skelter slide. Somethings never grow old!
The beach is about a five minute lovely walk down a private path and is a good beach where dogs are allowed. Unfortunately my husband didn't catch any mackerel of the rocks but had fun trying. There are a lot of seasonal tourers which have the pitches with the best views but this is truly the only tiny downside!
If you get chance visit Moelfre and take in a meal at Ann's Pantry the food was superb and eaten in a setting that makes you feel like you have been whisked abroad! The shower blocks were lovely and clean but did require a steep hike back up the hill.
It is worth noting that the site is quite sloping so make sure you take some blocks with you if in a caravan. Even though the site is quite large is has the feel of a small site due to the well kept hedges separating the fields.
We all had a wonderful weekend and will definitely be returning.
Having just returned from Tyddan Isaf today 10/06/2011, we have the holiday blues.We stayed for 4 nights our first time at this camp and it was excellent!
When we first arrived at Tyddan at the barriers we was told to come through via the intercom and make our way to the Reception at the bar that is called Hen Ysgubor, that means old ghost in English, so straight away I took the time to inform my daughter age 10 who is welsh speaking that the site was haunted and only safe if you go to sleep before 10pm, it didn't work!
Our party was me the wife,daughter age 10 and black Labrador, we stayed for 4 nights in a tent with electric hook-up
Arthur showed us to the bottom field and we picked a pitch that was at the top that had fantastic views, some of the best I have ever seen it really was breathtaking, unfortunately it did not have a electric hook-up but Arthur kindly ran an extension from the power point for us
There are several toilet / shower blocks around the camp site,they are immaculate, same condition you would find at a decent hotel.
The showers and electronic gates are controlled with a electronic 'Fob' you receive when you book in at reception a £10 deposit is required for this,the showers are nice and hot and last for several minutes and when the go off you just simply touch the sensor with your Fob and enjoy the shower for as long as you want.
The Cafe and bar area are located at the top of the park that has fantastic views of Ligwy Beach and the whole park,have stayed at many parks in north Wales and these views are some of the best I have seen, bar prices and the excellent food to eat in or take away are very good, ok a pint of beer is an extra 20p a pint more than you pay in your local but the tranquillity drinking a pint on the terrace view in the evening is well worth that little bit extra.
It did rain one night so we decided to go to The Bull in Pentraeth, this is across the road from Rhos Caravan park on the main road, food was excellent and reasonable value as well will certainly be visiting The Bull again.
I took the wife and daughter fishing of the rocks from Ligwy beach and we caught over 30 Mackerel.
To summarise our stay at Tyffan Isaf, a very enjoyable stay and will be staying again in July the conservation of this camp is excellent hence the David Bellamy award for the last five years,
The park for the kids is safe and immaculate, washing and shower facilities very good, views are priceless,
The only downside is the price, it is a little bit extra and the prices on booking are based on x2 adults and x1 child under the age of 5yrs, so it is a little extra but well worth it
We've only just returned from a great stay in Anglesey and as first time campers thought we'd share our thoughts on the whole experience.
Tyddyn Isaf was very impressive overall, within easy reach of the beach and a coastal walk to Moelfri, which has a nice pebble bay and a couple of good pubs on the water front.
The beach is good for kiting, swimming, jetskis and even a banana boat was in operation for the bank holiday. Very child friendly, loads of families everywhere.
Both the staff and the guests of the campsite were lovely, very friendly. We were really impressed with the vibe of the place - people randomly talk to you, the kids seemed really polite and it has a nice community feel. No noise at night apart from the sea.
The award winning toilets (won in 1995) were very pleasant. My only criticism would be that the showers were fixed temperature and really too hot for my liking. The only criticism I have of the whole place. Oh, and the pitches for the tents are on a slope (ours at the steepest point) but we just turned our beds to face down the slope. Not ideal but not the end of the world either.
Arthur's home made pizzas are highly recommended from the restaurant, just the right size, leaving room for the fantastic chocolate fudge cake. We also enjoyed the Fursty Ferret's from the bar.
This was our first visit to this site and we will definitely be back again for more 2 or 3 night stays (as it would work out fairly expensive to stay longer!).
We pitched in the second tent field, which is on a slope but we did not find it to cause us any problems. Our 2 boys (aged 4 and 2) had plenty of space to play in the field and due to the location of the hedges etc it is fairly well enclosed. The children's play area is FANTASTIC - set far enough away from the tent fields as not to bother others with noise, but accessible in a couple of minutes. The boys loved the 2 slides and running up and down the slopes.
The wash rooms and washing up areas are immaculate. Cleaned frequently and with it being out of peak season we did not need to wait for anything. The toilets did run out of toilet paper, so don't forget to take a spare roll! The showers were clean and lovely and warm.
They are operated via your tag 'beeper' that lets you in and out of the site barriers. The shower seemed to last around 4 minutes ish and then turn off. Adequate time for myself and my husband, but not great when I was trying to get myself and the 2 boys sorted. There is a delay of 4 minutes or so before the beeper will let you switch the shower on again (when sorting out the kids we borrowed our friends so could activate 2 showers back to back!).
The site is in a great location. The nearby beach is stunning and accessed via a short walk or 3 minute drive to the adjacent car park (£2.50 charge if booth staffed - but no-one there when we went on Saturday). Its also a short drive to the local costcutter mini market, which we were pleasantly surprised to see stocked a huge variety of items and not at ridiculous prices. They even sold hot pasties, panini's etc. There is also a chippy and indian take out by the costcutter but we weren't there long enough to try those out.
The site's on site bar has amazing beach views and on a sunny evening is ideal. The staff were friendly, but most of the beers were off when were there leaving just 1 larger. They do sell bottled real ales too. The outside children's play area by the terrace needs a bit of attention (consisted of a sea saw and a duck that did not move) as it looked like a lot of things had been taken away. Not a massive issue, but would be nice if it was sorted in the future.
All in all, a lovely well kept site if you are looking for good location with plenty of facilities. Great for the kids, albeit a bit on the expensive side.
