 Beautiful quiet campsite, stunning views, fantastic food from the bistro,

Shop stocked with basics, if camping near the stream don't forget to pack mosquito repellent never seen mosquitos so large.

Staff very helpful, toilets and showers are basic but kept clean and tidy.

Reviewer: Ladyeric 1 review from this member

 This is a huge site not well managed the spaces are so close together and the toilets are disgusting. They are in portacabins similar to the ones at festivals, toilet paper dispensers broken, floors wet and muddy and no private cubicles, the showers were even worse not nearly enough facilities per person.

We ate in the bistro and that was lovely good food at a good price. This place needs investment it like going back in time.

Reviewer: Melpa 9 reviews from this member

 We stayed at this site over a Bank Holiday weekend and the noise and chaos was insane. There were huge groups of scousers partying until after the 10. 30 noise curfew. However, Monday rolled around and they mostly all left, so the site was much much quieter and far more relaxed.

The toilet blocks are not the best, but better than some I've used so I rated them a 5. There is a small shop onside and a bar which serves food until 8. 45pm. We didn't eat there so I can't comment on the food. Drinks were not too expensive. Around £8 for a pint and a gin and tonic.

Electric pitches are around the edges and are allocated, non electric pitches have the freedom to pitch anywhere on the field they are allocated. On the small field there is a stream alongside one side of the field which is pretty to pitch near and sounds lovely.

There is an old Abbey in the centre which is a pay to enter world heritage site, although there is a cut through on pitch AH1 that all the kids go rampaging in and out of all night, so if you are near that pitch - be prepared for a stream of screaming kids, teens and adults going through the hedge all night long.

There are lots of lovely places to visit locally which is nice to break up days at the site.

Overall, I would revisit, but would request a pitch that suits. Us.

 Helpful through booking and booking in a bistro via email and facebook.

Good points. Bistro food lovely staff helpful friendly. Walk too llangollen via canal 1 mile and too horseshoe falls three quarters mile.

Bad points. Inconsiderate neighbours. Dog roaming around off lead doing its buisness outside ppl units. Owner no were too be seen. Children in charge of dogs letting dogs do buisness and not picking up. Swinging the dog around by its lead and neck.

We kept our dog on lead at all times!

I think we must of stayed I a Party field.

Tents and units on top of each other. Loud music, loud drunk people screaming and shouting. Letting there children run around other ppl units shooting play guns, playing ball etc.

If you want a quite relaxing time here is not the place.

Never used the showers. However toilet waste next too washing pot facility. So while some poor guy washing pots your emptying your loo. Nice!

Social distancing! Never existed from some people.

Such a shame!

Plenty of room too make a Adult only area!

Also a secure dog walk area and bin!

Do not recommend here. Sorry but not good place if want too Relax after hard working week!

Reviewer: Aliwarbo 4 reviews from this member

 Llangollen is a lovely town. This site is handy for walking in. The Abbey is interesting and at present it's free to visit, as it's out of season. In season it costs £4.20.

This was our first visit to this Site. Staff pleasant enough. We were on tourer area in hardstanding with elec hook up.

Toilets were ok and clean enough, but the site was virtually empty. Only 3 loos and showers for ladies, same for men. Taking into account the number of pitches, if site was full these would not be sufficient. Ladies showers were warm but men's were not, which was a shame.

The road down to the tourer area was full of dreadful pot holes. However my main issue with this site was the HUGE rubbish skip sited just in front of the tourer area. It was full and so cannot have been emptied for a while and the stench from it was disgusting. Depending on wind direction it could have been smelt from all over the tourer/camping area.

It wasn't warm enough to sit outside but we could not have sat out with that revolting stench. We won't be returning.

Reviewer: Kevan Bishop 1 review from this member

 Got back on Sunday afternoon after a very enjoyable if not wet weekend at ABBEY FARM,

The site itself was excellent with the exception of the toilet and showers,

I do appreciate that we were in the touring field on the hard standing pitch with electric hook-up in a motorhome but the showers were cold and not very clean, and toilets and toilet paper seemed to be in short supply always first thing in morning and the afternoons,

But having said that the staff in Reception and the Bistro were second to none, pleasant and efficient and the meals in the Bistro were great and good value.

Also the minibus service that was promoted by the site was excellent.

 Fantastic setting spoilt by the toilet and shower facilities.

Too many big partys allowed to ruin the weekend for others. Complained to a staff member about unruly out of control children. His reply was, the parents don't care so I am doing nothing.

We left in a bit of a rush just before waste from the the blocked toilets washed our van away. Did not leave too quickly the very uneven site roads slowed me down.

 Would not use this site again. Toilets and showers were in a glorified portacabin and not very clean.

Litter all over grass areas not collected.

Driveway to camping site overgrown with shrubs very scratched vehicles.

Reviewer: Glosbill 30 reviews from this member

 Interesting site, great location. Really welcoming and helpful staff. Off season best I would think.

Facilities were good and the bistro was full when we walked passed on a stroll before bedtime. Convenient for Llangollen with some level pitches.

Abbey is a unique centre point.

Reviewer: Louiseandpete 3 reviews from this member

 We stayed for 3 nights over bank holiday. There was a lot of noise from music kids dogs rec into the wee small hours but not enough to stop me sleeping. Toilets on site are disgusting.

Went to eat at the bistro. Watery veg and one choice for vegetarians. Not a good meal. Nice location but not worth money charged. We won't be returning in a hurry.

Reviewer: MagsLand1 1 review from this member

 Spent a long weekend here and in general enjoyed it very much. The bar/bistro was very handy (especially for breakfast) and the site is very pretty. The showers however were pretty grotty and a let down, if they improve them it would be a very terrific site

 Overnight stop on EHU, en route to Anglesey.

Lovely site, wrapped around a ruined Abbey just to the north of Llangollen.

It was half-term, so lots of kids. Having a good time!

A bit rough-and-ready, toilet blocks 'tired' but useable.

Didn't use the cafe so can't comment except to say it was available.

Would we go again. Yes, if only for it's convenient position in N Wales on the A5. And next time we'll stay longer to enjoy the town and the train!

Reviewer: Alithom1 1 review from this member

 My family have been coming here for years. The scenery and the Abbey are beautiful. Walking into Llangollen via the canal is so relaxing. The village itself is brilliant and a lot of the pubs and shops are pet friendly. The farm has its own restaurant, the menu is extensive and will have something for everyone. It is very warm and welcoming, pets are also allowed in here. The site do have rules for noise and fire, rightly so as this is predominately a family site. Dogs have to be on a lead at all times as this is a working farm. The only let down and in my opinion is a massive let down are the toilet and shower facilities. Everything is so dated and issues with individual sinks, toilets and showers over time have never been addressed. Even the washing up sinks have never had plugs despite numerous requests. This year the electric problems were worse than ever. The hook ups and the pods were constantly tripping out, These also need addressing. We ended up getting our electric charges refunded. I know this all sounds very negative but is not ment to be. The facilities need a complete overhaul and the electrics need updating. Will we go again?? Hell yes.

Reviewer: Pfrench74 3 reviews from this member

 Just got back there after the bank holiday weekend - been going for about 10 years now and finally decided to leave a review. I've seen this place grow over the many years I've been going and this weekend was perhaps the busiest I have ever seen it.

This is a campsite which seems to attract a crowd with the 'sit round the campsite' culture (compared to a 'walkers' campsite). And generally consisted of larger groups. ****Main point I want to say here is that the guy who goes round and monitors the site of a night down an AMAZING job this weekend considering the numbers and noise of a night was minimal considering the crowds. I was in bed around 11. 3-12. 00 and general ambience by that time was sound enough to sleep in - bit of music you could hear but nothing thumping out****

As I say, I've been going for years and see the growth of it with the bistro and bar etc. The general location is brilliant, with many accessible walks in the surrounding hills, and a short walk to the town and its ammenities.

Kids play area is pretty weak (a nice play area would be a real bonus considering the amount of families that go), but there is the stream there which keeps them entertained as well. I will add that it looks like the stream is starting to take some abuse now and looks to be drying up, seeingly as a result of the amount of rocks and bricks thrown in and possibly limiting flow. Definitely not as picturesque as it has been in the past.

Toilet blocks are basic. Showers are basic (and free) - not much room to get changed in.

Has a bistro on site - not eaten in there, but seems to market itself as a bistro and not pubgrub. Seems quite expensive for a campsite bistro (looks like it would be around £20-£25 a head for a couple of courses and a few drinks). They have added takeaway menu now.
