My wife and I stayed at Tan Llan with 4 other friends for 3 nights. We enjoyed our stay overall but there were a few things that we felt let it down from being outstanding.
First of all the positives: James and Delyth are really friendly. James helped us pitch our ground sheet and allowed our friends tents to create an 'enclosure' for the stay rather than a regimented 'in a row' style.
One thing to be aware of is, if you pitch without them there, they may make you move it as we saw happen twice after people had set up a metre in the wrong direction. This was due to new fire regs that had been put in place.
The views are beautiful, overlooking some hills out to the sea. It is a little windy but nothing really to worry about. The open fire pit is great to have on an evening and James will dig a pit out for you at a charge of £2. 00 and fire wood is £5. 00.
Electric hook up is in a great location, as is the water point. There is good access to the site and is on a good road. While we were there, James put on a communal barbeque with music that was a great social event.
What we thought let the site down was the rubbish and toys / items /junk left around as the other reviewer has written. It really does stop the site being neat and tidy. We were disappointed with the showers and toilets.
Although clean, they are built within a barn and have holes in the ceilings with spiders, bugs and webs in. There is one female shower on the other side of the washing up stand with a 'wet room' set up, all tiled and sealed. If they were all like that, it would be perfect.
Although a farm style campsite is great, a farm style shower is not my wifes idea of fun. The tokens are 50p for showers and as a man that doesn't take long, they did not last a great amount of time.
There is a washing machine at £2. 00 a cycle and you do have to pay for recycling which we found strange as we were asked to do that, it wasn't an option.
Night time is quiet and round the fire we were asked to be aware of kids asleep which is fine.
This site used to be owned by a lovely man. The views from the field are amazing but the electrics constantly trip as they are only 6amp. The showers are hot but very expensive. There is a good little shelter for campers to wash up and a few swings for the kids. Tudweilliog is an amazing place but there are better sites further down the road. It can get very windy on this site so make sure you have good pegs and a good tie down kit there have been a few occasions where we have seen awnings and tent blown away. There is a lovely pub within walking distance down the road and a little post office. The beach is beautiful and a 5 minute walk from the site. There is a little shop that sells buckets and spades but the path down the cliff is quite steep in parts.
There are 3 main things that make this site very appealing to return to;
The owners, The short walk to an absolutely amazing beach and the views of the sea from the fields (lovely sunsets too!)
These all make this site very appealing.
What we didn't like was the 'farmyard' feel that there was stuff lying around everywhere. (Not on the pitches where we were camping, but around the owners home, and soon to be holiday cottages.)
We said to each other, and the other family with us that it was a shame that also litter was left to blow about (this is a very windy spot) and even encouraged our children to do a litter scavenge one day when walking back from the beach.
The 'tidy-up' that this site would need to action, might only take a couple of hours maximum and this would really make the difference to our decision to return again. It would just 'look' nicer.
Having said this, the toilet blocks are v clean and you get a nice long (and hot) shower for your 50p token, the owners are constantly 'around' and are extremely helpful, James will dig you out a hole for a fire and his wife is monitoring loo blocks which as I say are clean & tidy inside.
Their dedication to ensuring you are happy is brilliant, which is why I am confused at the clutter left lying about. But perhaps I am being too picky? The area I am referring to is around their own home, (it could also be 'work in progress' and is not on the actual camping area - but this does have to be passed through to get to the loos etc.)
Beach - 10/15 mins walk from site is wonderful. Shop in village (bit closer 5-10 mins walk) has good stocks of basics and newspapers and treats !
Our children loved the swings on the site and played there a great deal.
Windbreak might be a good idea if considering this site, as its a bit of a windy spot !
Excellent family run site, the owners cannot do enough for you. This Easter weekend was our 2nd visit here, toilet blocks/showers cleaned regular, they ran some field games for the children egg spoon race, tug of war etc, good play area for children with 2 swings a wendy house plenty of sit on ride toys. Lots of regulars very friendly.
Short walk to beach with excellent coastal walk stunning views, beach area clean beach shop near beach selling ice lollies beach toys.
Lovely local pub short distance walk serves good food. Local post office shop within walking distance very basic also short drive away there is an off-licence. You can have a fire pit which is all done to high safety standards. On this visit we arrived very late due to traffic the owner James couldn't of helped us enough helping us set up in the dark with electric and awning most grateful as we did it in no time especially James guiding me into the pitch and helping us level out. The only down fall for us is it is too far away to visit more often
Just arrived home after a wonderful bank holiday weekend at Tan Y Llan. The owners can not do enough for you, nothing is too much trouble.
The toilets are always clean and stocked up with loo roll etc. James, the owner will dig out a fire pit next to your tent and you can purchase a sack of wood for a real fire.
It was Easter when we were there and there was a tug of war and egg and spoon race organised for the children, also on the Easter Sunday they came round with Easter eggs for all the children. There was a BBQ organised where you could take your meat along to be cooked and sit round together.
There is also a football pitch which was a big hit with my son and husband!
The nearest beach, shop and pub are just a short walk away.
We visited this site recently with our 2 girls aged 4 and 6 for our Summer Holiday. We had an excellent holiday! The site is well laid out, has plenty of room for the kids to play (football field, 2 swings and a few little tikes type houses), friendly, helpful owners and a beautiful view of the sea and mountains.
The shower/toilet blocks were kept clean, and the showers all have plenty of space. We never had to wait even though the site seemed fairly full. Showers operate with tokens (50p), and give you plenty of time (unless you want to shave your head too, then you need another token!).
The local shop 3 mins walk away is tiny, but well stocked. Local beach gorgeous 5 mins drive, free parking, small beach hut type shop. Local pub 5 mins walk, park, great food. Within 20 mins drive there are countless beaches, all offering something slightly different.
Almost every night we had a campfire. Pit dug by James, and firewood available on site. Sitting out after dark enjoying a campfire with friends put the icing on the cake of this holiday.
We stayed here for 4 nights with friends, my sister, her husband and 13yr old twin daughters (who suffer with slight c.Palsy), it was their first experience at camping. We chose this site as the reviews were quite good and catered mainly for the children.
Even though we never saw a sports day/bbq, even hardly the owners during our stay. Upon arriving first appearance was 'were not staying here' it was like a farmyard, there was nobody to greet us and show us to our pitches so having a walk around eventually came upon James the owner who was providing temporary EHU (which we paid extra for)to our pitches which ended up being in the dog field as all other fields were full with caravans / tents. This wasn't a problem as we had 2 dogs with us, even though the grass needed cutting.
We found the toilet/shower block amenities, and soon realised these were communal which when you have young female 13yr olds with you is a bit much. The new toilet block needed finishing off, no hand drying facilities, the old block renovating, also you need tokens for the showers and take your own loo roll as they kept running out.
The good side of it was the pub (great food)post office were two mins walk away, the beach about a 20 min walk not very good access for the disabled. This site has got loads of potential and the views to die for.
Just returned from 4 nights at Tan Y Llan site. This is a great site especially if you have kids. Plenty of space and James & Delyth are very welcoming hosts. Amenities are adequate and the new shower/toilet block is clean and pleasant. Combined with absolutely glorious weather, Tan Y Llan is an excellent base from which to explore Abersoch and surrounding areas. There is a general store/post office/pub within easy walking distance and if you enjoy a campfire, James delivers the wood. Will definitely be back again soon.
We booked in here for the first night of a 5-day tour round North Wales so we knew we definitely had somewhere to aim for on the first night. It's the closest campsite in Tudweiliog to the Lion Hotel, which is convenient!
The lady on the site was very helpful and friendly, chatting for a while on our arrival. Although there were other caravans on site I think we virtually had the place to ourselves - picked a nice, quiet week!
The views from the site were great. Snowdonia in one direction and the sea on the opposite direction. It's only a short walk to the sea and beach but, as mentioned, the pub was a priority after the long drive.
My only slight criticism is the road through the campsite. A little rough to drive on, but probably not an issue most of the time. The toilet facilities were nice and clean. It's an individual enclosed room with your own loo and wash basin etc.
The weather was great. A bit windy, but as we were in a van it wasn't a problem. The Lion Hotel does nice food and the staff are friendly, but as we had our dog we had to sit in the corridor area near the front, which was a bit chilly at times. Apart from that, it's a nice place for good ales and good food.
Overall I would recommend a visit to Tan Llan. Good price, good location, what more do you need?
We only stopped here one night just before Easter. This was only because of the weather!
The site has a small toilet \ shower block, which had just been repainted, all the amenities work well and were kept clean.
The pot washing sinks were in the open, so we kept this to a minimum, basically due to the weather. There is a beautiful beach about 15 minutes walk from the site. The area is good to get to Abersoch, Pwllheli etc.
When we arrived, we used the sat nav, which tells you to turn right to Twdweiiog when you are nearly there, you need to stay on the same road and turn left just around the corner and you are there.
When we arrived, James showed us to the main field, which was so windy, it would have blown the trailer and tent away, so, instead he sorted us out in a small corner at the side of their house, sheltered by walls on 2 sides and a caravan on the other. He hooked up an extra long lead, so that we had power. Unfortunately we were unable to put the front awning of our trailer tent up as the ground was boggy, so we got an awful draught through the door (Triango Ocean) and we forgot the heater.
Jame and Delyth said if we needed anything, just give them a shout, they offered us extra sleeping bags if we were cold. They were the best site owners I have ever met and so helpful.
