Liked: Wonderful views of the mountains and lakes, breathtaking. Great site, very clean toilet and shower blocks. Great facilities on site with use of washing machines and driers. The only snag was we didn’t know you had to pay to use the lake. Don’t remember seeing any mention of that as I thought when we paid for the holiday that would be included. £5 per day or £20 for the week.

From the manager: Thank you for your review, glad you enjoyed your stay. The fee to launch on Llyn Tegid
(Blala Lake ) is payable to the Snowdonia National Park. A permit is required if launching anything on the lake and permit machines are located at all access points around the lake.
Hope to see you again soon.
