We fancied a Weekend away so Llangollen was our obvious choice at approx 65 miles away. We turned up on spec and were greeted by very pleasant and helpful staff. £10.50 per night for 2 adults in a camper with awning is ok, so we booked 2 nights. The site is in a beautiful location within 20 minutes walk of Llangollen town. There is plenty to do Steam Train rides, Horse drawn barge trips to name but a few. The facilities on site were basic but they were clean. The shop was ok for essentials and a Tea room has opened.
My main criticism was the hoards of undesirables with dozens of kids who feel it necessary to only play ball games next to your van and away from their parents property. They feel the need to drink all day with music blasting out. Then after sunset the disco lights come out and the music and foul language goes up a gear. We moved our van away as far as possible into the next field which was a lot quieter but I was too annoyed to relax. We packed up and cleared out the next morning. Its a shame because it it a nice site and I feel for the owners but they need to introduce tighter rules or advertise it as a party location because its too small to be both.
This site is set in the most glorious countryside you will ever see, right at the foot of the horseshow pass. It boasts a shop which is well stocked, a tea room which serves good food at reasonable prices and a butcher who supplies local fresh meat at good prices. The site is well set out with static caravans and touring caravans on the first field, the beautiful calm Cale Crusis abbey next and then the camping fields. There are two main fields and a small third section. Electric hookups are in the middle field.
The price for the site is reasonable, however they top it up with charging for your car, this is not included in the camping price and with electricity at £3 per night [pricey] this brought the cost of our unit, with car and two adults to £19 per night. For that I expect good facilities. I was disappointed. The ladies were dirty, dirt which had built up over weeks. The showers were cold to mediocre. Ladies shouting out in the morning was not unusual, over the cold water of course! The flow went from a drip to a full shower. I did point this out to the office and they sent the cleaning person to see me. We discussed the problems and he did his best to rectify them, however I do believe the poor man was out of his depth, with no training.
I have taken into account the heavy usage last weekend when making this report to my fellow campers. There were several people voicing the same complaints as i. The facilities on the caravan field were lovely and clean. Its such a shame that such a beautiful site should let itself down this way.
I would go again to see if it has improved, if not I would pull off immediately. There are no children's play equipment on the camping field and unless you walk around the caravan field you wouldn't know there were any there. In any case they are not big enough for all of the children which were on the site last weekend. There is however the river for all to play in.
There is a good hotel abbey grange nearby and Llandudno town which is a lovely town is about 1.5 mls away.
What can I say. The campsite was ok. The view of the abbey was lovely. Llangollen village was about a 5 minute car ride away but parking can be tricky on buy days. The Corn Mill pub is fab.
My husband and I had hoped for a relaxing weekend but instead the campsite was over run with screaming children and generally undesirable members of society.
Due to the sheer volume of campers (tents/camper vans/ caravans/static vans) the toilets smelt pretty awful. One block to service a huge sight was never going to work.
We pitched our tent as far away from the family area as we could get. The pitch was good, then the hoards descended. The peace and tranquillity soon disappeared and the disco lights and the loud voices began (well after dark).
Come morning, most people had begun to pack up and leave (thankfully) so we had a lovely peaceful breakfast before making our way home.
One plus side. If you forget to bring your own food, there is a nice farm shop on site that sells nice sausages.
We have just stayed at Abbey Farm Campsite for 2 nights (2 of us with a dog). The site is in a lovely scenic location, close to 2 pubs and within short walking distance to town.
The facilities are not the best, not enough bins or water taps. The toilets were ok, fairly clean and stocked up with paper but not enough of them for the size of the site. Showers free but not the best, not enough space in them so you tend to get your clothes wet when having a shower, could be better.
The farm shop is excellent, really nice meat and very good value.
The main problem with this site is the amount of large noisy groups. Even though after speaking with other campers it seems that they were told large groups are not permitted this does not seem to be the case. There were at least 3 large groups there during our stay playing loud music until early hours, drinking, shouting, screaming, swearing, running around etc.
We stayed this lovely campsite last weekend and found that the owners had vastly improved it from earlier in the year. The toilet block was clean & tidy and the other block was being refurbished. The abbey on the site makes a great backdrop to the stunning scenery around the area,the shop is great with home grown meat and the cafe is great for breakfasts!
We stayed on the site as part of the club 80-90 volkswagen transporter club and we were in a group of 13 vans. Not one person had a single complaint about the site and we all can't wait to go back! Cracking site.
This was our first visit to Llangollen and also to Abbey farm. I was a little wary after some of the reviews,but no need to be at all. .
The site has a lovely farm shop which you can buy reasonably priced farm produce from which includes fresh meat and rolls etc for a bbq. The toilets were fine, have seen a lot worse. Plenty of toilet roll,and the showers were quite pleasant. Take your own soap though as none to wash your hands.
There are two fields for camping the smaller one was packed and quite noisy but if you choose the larger of the fields it is extremely spacious and very quiet. We managed to have a game of cricket in the middle of it and there was so much space. We did hear that there was some trouble from the groups in the smaller field but when I spoke to the warden the next day he said he had thrown them all off !
The abbey is so beautiful and only costs two pounds fifty each to get in but is definitely worth a visit.
The site also has a small tea shop on which is open seven days a week to buy your breakfast from.
The site is quite a long walk into Llangollen but you can walk straight up the canal to it. There is a pub within walking distance of the site but the pubs within the town are great and many are situated overlooking the fantastic river.
The canal boat trips are worth a visit, and Llangollen is pretty good at nght.
We took a fire pit with us which we had a bbq on and than a small fire in afterwards. The site was fine with this as long as it didn't singe the grass and was monitored at all times.
All in all a very beautiful site which we will be returning to soon. Enjoy.
Only went for 1 night but the site was quiet, well maintained and contrary to other reviews the toilets were clean, basic but fine. Only a short walk to Llangollen along the canal path and a pub 5 minutes walk the other way. There were electrical hook ups but we did not need them. Staff were helpful enough and had no complaints. OK for a weekend. Will stop again.
This is the first time I've written a review, usually I let things pass but felt potential users of this site should be made aware, especially 'small families' which according to the site rules are the only groups allowed on site.
Firstly, the site itself is very pretty and lovely surroundings. I did feel facilities were a little poor considering the cost per night, but we're not a fussy family, we tend to get on with enjoying our break.
For the first time, I couldn't wait to go home. Now, my complaint is not with the group of teenage lads who were shouting, swearing and playing rave music till about 4am on our first night (it was just unfortunate we were staying the same time as them). The following day after some drunk fell into our tent, upsetting my children I decided enough was enough. I spoke to the office, who were aware of the situation and said 'it's ok they are going home on Sunday, ' today was Friday! I had not been the first to complain, but they could not drive home and their parents couldn't collect them till Sunday! He insisted that there would be no noise the following evening. It was worse.
If you are lucky and have a good crowd of visitors around you it would be worth a visit
Decided to stay here as it looked rather good on the website.
Location is fantastic, nice walk into Llangollen, great scenery and the Abbey ruins are great at night! lol
Excellent farm shop which sells fresh meat and other bits and bobs.
Pitched up on a great location near the shower blocks next to the river. Seemed quiet and a good area to be in. Well we were wrong! Young groups of lads drinking until the stupid hours of the morning keeping everyone awake. Though I found it strange when I rang to book a pitch that they asked if we were a single sex group!
The toilets and shower blocks didn't look like they had been cleaned for months,
If you are staying for one night and don't need a shower then it's a great place to be.
This place could be so much better - all it takes is a bit of cleaning and the rule of no single sex groups onto the site!
Expensive, especially considering the state of the toilet/shower block - which is locked at night! There was a Festival of Litter being held there too by the looks of things.
Beautiful setting very near the abbey and river. Good site shop, but way too dirty. Also sounded noisy late at night on the other side of the site.
We had visited this site last year in a trailer tent. We were the only unit on site that time and had a wonderful stay, reasonable shop on site and clean adequate facilities.
This visit we arrived on bank-holiday Monday. On arrival, we found the WC block was unclean and one of the two gents toilets was blocked, but guessed that it was the result of a long weekend.
The site was obviously a little more crowded this time but there was still plenty of space to select a decent pitch.
We had a good stay, but the WC and shower block was not cleaned at all for our 2-night stay, very disappointing. We also had problems of loud music from idiots in a nearby tent, which we reported to the site manager the following day. He said they would divert complaint calls to his mobile in future to investigate issues quickly. The staff seemed genuinely concerned and apologetic.
Unfortunately the showers (ie.Lack of flow of water) and washing sinks are very poor! I think it would be fair to say the shower facilities needs updating a bit. There seemed no policing on the site to stop the 10 pm noise restriction time. Apart from that shop is well stocked and a smashing little cafe on site.
I visit this site quite a lot throughout the year, every year , and always find the site, clean and tidy.
The shop is well stocked, the cafe provides lovely food, the children's swing and play area is ideal for little ones, in fact it is set in a lovely area where you can picnic and watch the children play.
The owners and staff are friendly and helpful.
The short walk along the canal into Llangollen is lovely, Llangollen itsef provides lovely
Shops and pubs,
Abbey Farm is one of the nicest sites I have ever stayed on, the surroundings are magnificent.
As the site is at the foot of the horseshoe it is well worth a visit to the pondarosa a very popular stopping place for Bikers
My partner and I enjoyed a week of uninterrupted bliss in this stunning location. The abbey is an absolutely beautiful building and it felt like a real privilege to stay in its grounds. The staff are friendly and helpful and I would highly recommend the tea rooms where we had a delicious breakfast! The countryside is perfect for walkers, and Llangollen is a short walk away along the pretty canal.
The facilities were clean and there was plenty of hot water. Having read the other reviews I can appreciate that the size of the facilities might not cater for large groups in the summer months, but we had the campsite pretty much to ourselves and everything was clean and tidy. Camp fires aren't allowed but BBQs are if they're raised off the ground ~(we bought a couple of disposable ones and found some breeze blocks - I'd highly recommend the lamb and mint sausages from the main butcher's in Llangollen!)
There are two pubs nearby, and as an ale drinker I was slightly disappointed byt the range of local drinks, but there are probably more places in and around Llangollen that we didn't try. The food at The Britannia Inn was very tasty, but it does stop serving lunch at 2.30pm and closes for the afternoon at about 3pm, so walkers, beware! The next pub (sorry, can't remember the name - it's The Abbey something-or-other) also does pretty good food but it was fairly quiet. Again, we were there out of season so it might be quite different in the Summer.
All in all, a fantastic week. Finally, there's a lovely shop in Llangollen called 'Honey Pots' where one can paint pottery for a small fee, and it's glazed and fired and available for collection in a couple of days. We really enjoyed doing this. We'll be back again soon!
The first alarm bells should have been on arrival when we were told they lock one toilet block over night as it has been vandalised in the past. We did actually go to complain about the state of the toilets and we were met by a rather defensive owner on the desk. Apparently staff hadn’t turned in over the weekend, and he was on his own. He swore that the he had been to clean the toilet blocks twice that day. And yes you could tell the showers had been hosed down, but the same clumps of hair and dirty bobbles were still on the shower floor by Monday, that were there when we arrived on the Friday. A few showers were blocked especially in the gents, so the shower water would flood across the toilet block floor.
The litter generally around the site was bad, and you could tell some of it had been there longer than the weekend. The bins were not emptied all weekend, to be promptly collected on Monday morning around 8, which woke most of the site up.
The surrounds are stunning, especially with Crucis Abbey in the middles of the site. The location being so close to Llangollen was pretty good too. But considering Crucis Abbey was in the middle of the site, you think there would have taken care with the litter, bins etc. And the security of the Abbey itself, kids can easily climb the waist height gate into grounds at the night time.
