We have just returned from a week on this site. The grounds are layered, so many pitches have a good view of the sea. Wardens helped us pitch, promptly swinging the van round so we could enjoy the view. Our hardstanding comprised small pieces of Welsh slate - which provides an excellent smooth base in the awning.
There is the busy A55 road - dual carriageway - and a railway line running between the site and the beach. Beach access is via the local village, through a housing estate and over a bridge - this also gives access to the cycle track. We found the beach unappealing - but obviously popular to walk dogs. Noise is constant from the road, but this was not too much of a problem.
We did not use the facilities, so cannot comment.
The views are lovely, but can only give 8/10 for Site Location for reasons given.
I have been camping in a various caravans (1990 to 2003) and 5 different motorhomes for the last 10 years. I have been all over the UK and Ireland as well as abroad to the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, France Austria, Italy etc.
I have stayed in the area of Tyddyn Du in the past when I first began camping. When booking the pitch I requested the necessary pitch and awning space with electric etc and then paid a deposit. So far so good. On arrival at the site in Monday 5th August I was politely greeted by a member of staff who invited my father and me into the little hut outside the entrance barrier. Upon walking into the hut there were a line of staff sitting around the perimeter along with two dogs who made me feel a little 'on show'. Everything seemed pleasant and organised and following payment for the pitch and payment and signature for the barrier card we were directed to our pitch. What an experience. Our motorhome is 7. 2 metres in length and the steep tight driveways we were beckoned up were tight to say the least. Not to worry as we have traction control so I duly followed the member of staff to our designated pitch. This was at the very top of the campsite which enabled us to have magnificent uninterrupted views through our sitting room window. After being moved three times to position ourselves in the correct place by the member of staff we parked in position. We spent a couple of hours erecting the awning and setting up everything else. As far as we were concerned we were settled for the duration of the holiday. Apart from the steep distant incline to the toilet block we were happy. I have chronic fatigue and both my parents have knee injuries but we didn't make a fuss as it was a small inconvenience for only a week. We had our car to drive up and down in either way.
The next morning we had been getting ready for our first day out when there was a knock at the motorhome door. Another member of staff approached us to tell us that we would have to move our vehicle as we were parked the wrong way around. We explained how we had struggled to set up the awning and that turning round would be an extreme effort. Rather than cause a fuss we requested a refund as the awning move etc was a lot to undertake so soon after setting everything up. We were refused with the member of staff saying that 'Pam doesn't do refunds'. What a position we had found ourselves in.
When we checked the pitch we were on it would not have been suitable for us to turn the other way round as our motorhome would then have been sticking out too far in the way of other campers as the ground was so uneven the wheels would have been in a dip the other way around, more than levelling ramps could have coped with. We put this to another member of staff and requested an alternative pitch. Some time later it was agreed that we could move which we agreed to. The new pitch was a little short and still sloping but we persisted so as not to cause any further upset during our holiday. The bonus was that we were much lower down the site.
Generally the site is well kept and pleasant with shrubs and decorative walls etc. There are far too many signs and notices which do become a little overwhelming after a while, so much so that you tend to ignore them. As an adults only site should there really be a need for such direction?
All in all without our dreadful experience it would have been an alright site, but following our experience we shall not be returning or recommending to our friends.
The views are excellent. The site is tiered and all pitched face the spectacular views of Anglesey, the bay and the Great Orm.
The owner and her team keep the site immaculate, they even assist you when you pitch your van.
Toilet block is excellent, clean and well kept. The site is near to the A55 but we didn't notice any excessive road noise.
As the site is on the hillside by the sea, there is a breeze and in inclement weather can become gusty. This can give problems with awnings.
It is very well positioned for visiting local tourist spots such as Conwy, Llandudno, (A trip up the Great Orme in the tram is well recommended. ) The beautiful gardens at Bodnant, Bwets y Coed and Anglesey.
There is a convenience store, newsagent & chip shop in the village within walking distance. Also The Gladsone (we didn't try this one) or the Fairy Glen pub nearby.
We love the place and this was our 3rd visit in 2 years. Would recommend a visit.
Everything that the owner & her team have control of is excellent. The site is immaculately kept, the views are spectacular, the Toilet block is as good as it gets. Access & site security are very good.
Cons.
There are two drawbacks which the site has no control of.
1. The A55 is directly below the site & carries the traffic for Holyhead Ferry Terminal, so Heavy Trucks are running 24/7, so road noise is constant. It is worth being aware of this.
2. When high winds blow through the site the location is very exposed.
I found the road noise a problem at night, but this was the only downside to a very well run site.
Now were do I start, what a fantastic site this is. We decided to try it by plucking a site in north Wales totally by random and how lucky was our choice. Straight from the moment you arrive you start to relax. Unfortunately the office was at dinner (our fault as they say arrive after 2 pm) so we had a drink in the gladstone pub (at the bottom of site)while we waited. On booking in the owner was extremely helpful and polite and 2 men then showed us where our pitch was and kindly helped us to locate it and set the caravan up.
The site is on a nice slope but all the pitches are level and no other caravan seems to interfere with the beautiful view of the sea and coastline.
There are plenty of interesting and scenic places to visit and wind down from a hectic work schedule as we do and most certainly did here. There is a small local shop and chippy over the back in the village, and you are only a couple of miles away from a supermarket if needed.
The toilets and showers and shower wet-rooms are immaculately clean as is the washing up area which also houses 2 complimentary chest freezers for any guest to use free of charge. The grounds are kept lovely but you never hear them at work, only bids chirping or the occasional car.
There is also a nice dog walking area near the bottom of the site. I would recommend this site to any one as I could not criticise any part of our visit what-so-ever and will definitely be returning next year. Well done to the owner and her team, as they are a credit to the world of caravan sites.
Excellent site. Great location. Very friendly staff. Tried for years to get on before eventually being successful. As you can see from other reviews it is a very popular site.
The only disadvantage I could find was that the pitches were smallish and tight to get in. However, this is massively outweighed by the location.
We will be visiting again whenever we can get on. Note to self - book in advance.
We have stayed here several times over the last two seasons and have booked again for 2013. We love this site, it ticks so many boxes for us. The location is brilliant for touring round, Anglesey with it's wonderful beaches is an easy drive. Llandudno with it's wonderful promenade is another easy drive away and the site is in the heart of Snowdonia with it's many picturesque walks.
The site itself is very well maintained, the shower/toilet facilities can't be faulted and are always spotlessly clean and lovely and warm when the weather isn't quite so good.
Pam and her team are helpful from the moment you arrive to the moment you depart,
The toilet block / shower room was the best I've seen it was immaculate, whatever time of day you went there.
The pitches were of a decent size, with some outstanding views of the Irish Sea and Anglesey.
Pam (the owner) and her team were brilliant, nothing was too much trouble.
The nearest hotel (The Gladstone), is just a 5 minute walk away, but the prices are a little on the high side. Another pub (The Fairy Glen) is a good mile walk, but the food and the drink is less expensive, and the quality is equally good.
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our weeks stay, especially as there is so much to see nearby.
Oh, almost forgot, the bus stop is just 2 minutes walk from the site entrance.
We will definitely be trying to go back.
Thank you so very much Pam, and here's hoping to see you again soon.
A key reason for going are the views, simply fabulous from almost any pitch. It is so relaxing looking out of the van window (there was plenty of rain!), just absorbing the tranquillity and appreciating the wonderful sea and coastline.
Site is on a slope, pitches level, and drainage no problem at all. The main road is within earshot, but background noise soon blends into the background. Such a good location for exploring the delights of North Wales, including Anglesey.
Staff took us to our pitch and located the van in position incredibly quickly, advising all the small tips to get set-up quickly. As in other contact with staff, all needs were not a problem, very helpful and genuinely wanting us to get the most from our stay. Very good local guides and places to visit, including local eateries.
Shower block is modern, very clean and not wanting, as were other facilities like dish washing and handy fresh water taps.
Our pitch was slightly 'cosy' in size, fairly close to our neighbours, although majority of other pitches seemed to offer more space. Hence parking the car adjacent needed to be quite precise. A very small price for such a delightful site, definitely we would return.
