  • Small and friendly touring site on a Llŷn Peninsula farm
  • Abersoch 20 minutes' walk; 15 minutes' drive to Pwllheli
  • Well-kept serviced touring pitches; dogs welcome
Family-friendly and family-run Sandy Farm is a small site that prides itself on providing the personal touch for guests – aiming for that real 'home from home’ vibe. The surf-loving owners are keen to introduce their guests to the very best of the Llŷn Peninsula, sharing their tips on how to make the most of the area’s outdoor activities, history and culture. This sweet little farm site is less than a mile from Abersoch, so you'll be able to walk to the village centre in around 20 minutes. The bigger town of Pwllheli, a popular watersports hub, is about 15 minutes’ drive away and the excellent surf beach Porth Neigwl is about five minutes away. You should find plenty of things to pack your days around the local area – so it’s good to know that you'll be coming back to a place where a lot of thought and effort has gone into designing the facilities. A smart modern bathroom block has four separate spacious bathrooms (one of which is accessible), each one with a toilet and hot shower, and the communal laundry/washing-up area has all the bits you'll need to keep your clothes and your crockery nice and clean. The pitches themselves have been just as well thought out: each one is made up of a spacious hardcore area surrounded with a grass patch, and has an electric hookup and grey waste facility. The site also has a wifi service to help you plan your outings and share pics of your lovely surroundings with the folk left back at home.

What customers say

This well-maintained, clean, and peaceful site is praised for its superb, friendly hosts and excellent location, a short walk to Abersoch's amenities and beach. While pitches are spacious and facilities are modern and generally clean, some guests found the coin-operated showers and limited toilet provisions, alongside poor WiFi and lack of specific services like grey waste disposal, to be overpriced for the cost. Some also noted noise from a nearby busy road.

Liked Location is fantastic and pitch is a generous size.
Toilets and showers were quite clean

Disliked No hand towels in toilets.
Toilet paper ran out in every toilet so we’re not being checked regularly.
Doors on some of the toilets were ill fitting so could not be closed and locked

Jane G.

Fully-serviced grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked Location, great walking into town. Farm shop, cafe and bar just 100yds up the road.

Disliked Very poor WiFi. No TV service. We arrived on a Tuesday and left on Friday, we asked for more toilet rolls and no cleaning of the toilets. No grey waste disposal. Very basic chemical toilet disposal(open toilet).

From the manager: Hi Jane,

We are truly sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy your stay with us. It's always disappointing to learn a guest has had a negative experience.

We'd like to clarify a few points from your feedback:

* **Grey Waste:** Every pitch is equipped with grey waste disposal, along with electric and water hook-ups. Your pitch had a grey waste connection directly underneath your water hook-up, as shown in the photos on our website. This was also detailed in the welcome message sent on the morning of your arrival. Our staff would have been happy to assist you in locating it if you had any difficulty.
* **Toilets:** Our staff restocked and cleaned the toilets the morning after you reported the issue, and we informed you when this was completed.
* **Staffing:** As noted in your pre-arrival confirmation email, we were experiencing a temporary staff shortage and our site manager was out of office. We asked for your understanding and support during such times and encouraged guests to communicate any issues, such as toiletry restocking, so we could address them promptly. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

We would greatly appreciate it if you could contact us directly to discuss your concerns further. Your feedback is valuable as it helps us improve our site for all future guests.

Many thanks,
Byron

Local attractions

Abersoch (20 minutes' walk/three minutes' drive) is best known as a seaside village, so your first port of call should probably be its beach – it's a lovely sheltered sandy stretch that’s great for family days of paddling, picnicking and sandcastle building. Pwllheli (15 minutes' drive) also has a sandy beach, along with plenty of watersports options, and there’s fairly reliable surf at Porth Neigwl (five minutes). This part of Wales is particularly well served with castles, so take your pick from seafront Criccieth Castle (half an hour), imposing Caernarfon Castle (45 minutes) and Harlech Castle (55 minutes), site of the longest siege in British history. The Italian-style village of Portmeirion (45 minutes) is worth a trip too. There are lots of places to get out for a walk or bike ride near the farm, taking in seaside views and historic sites. If that's not enough, head east to Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park (45 minutes) for all manner of hiking trails and outdoor activities.
