Liked: Location is great as within walking distance to shops or bus stop to local town or further out towards the coast however it is close to road so there can be noise depending on where you are situated. Lovely trees and wildlife.
Good size pitches with 10amp electricity and water on them.
Hosts there to help with anything you need.
Loved the Saturday night chippy van (cash only) followed by ice cream van. Great for treats.
Facilities you cannot fault. Very clean hot showers, toilet area. Washing up, chemical waste all good.
There is no WIFI but for us that is not an issue. Use your phone hot spot or we have WiFi already set up on the van with unlimited data sim card.
Disliked: Nothing

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked: Very friendly reception.
Clean toilets and showers (and warm!!!). My partner was happy a hairdryer was included.
Good location. Close to Llangollen, Poncysyllte Aquaduct and shops/Costa/petrol station etc.
Disliked: Not a dislike - but sole pitches were close to a dual carriageway and could possibly be noisy, but we were further away, so it was an issue for us.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked: Plenty of space in the pitch. Well signed site. Toilet/showers clean and warm, underfloor heating. Outdoor, undercover washing up area. Water, toilet waste disposal, recycling bins, dog waste bins around the site, good one way system. Alison was lovely. Firepits for hire and wood available.
Disliked: Main roads around the site but not too close, which could be noisy and boy racers driving up and down the road, possibly racing, at 5am wasn't appreciated.

Liked: Easy checking in. Clean and warm shower facilities. Excellent location. Very quiet considering the position of the roads!
Disliked: Minor but it was stressed that that we had to be careful with the electricity. We struggled with this while cooking a meal. But other than that no issues.
