Pitch as flat as lord’s!
Pitch
Five well spaced pitches for small secluded site

  • Small dog-friendly site in a gorgeous rural setting in Anglesey
  • A 10-minute drive from Traeth Benllech; half an hour from Snowdonia
  • Cycle to a handful of local beaches and return to set up a barbecue
Designed by a keen caravanner, and with fellow caravan and mobile home users in mind, Swallow Bach couldn’t be a more convenient spot to set up base in Anglesey. The spacious pitches are in a gorgeous rural setting, just 10 minutes’ drive from the nearest beach and half an hour’s drive from Snowdonia National Park. Each pitch (which measures eight by seven metres) is on level hardstanding and has its own water and electricity supply. They also have their own soak away, so you won’t need to fill up the aqua roll or carpet off the grey water – a relief for many. The flat pitches have large surfaces, making it easy to park up. There’s also easy access to the site, as it has an extra-large gate. Plus, the owner’s always on hand to help you out with anything if you need. There’s no toilet or shower block, but there is an Elsan waste point. Anglesey’s gorgeous beaches will probably be one of your main focuses, of course. Handily, there are a handful within cycling distance. Traeth Benllech, 10 minutes’ drive away, and Traeth Lligwy, 20 minutes’ drive away, are two lovely spots. Moelfre (15 minutes’ drive) has yet another. The popular tourist town has Iron Age huts, views of Snowdonia and the Great Orne, and a lifeboat centre. Places like Niwbwrch are no more than 20 minutes’ drive away too – then, get back to the peaceful, friendly site to set up a barbecue or simply melt back into the peaceful atmosphere.

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked: The peace and quiet was wonderful as was the dark skies. We were lucky enough to be the only ones at this small wild site - with electric hook-up and running water. The friendly and helpful owner visited only once whilst we were there and kindly left us to the peace and quiet but was contactable if needed. The town of Llangefni is a short drive away and has shops, supermarkets and fuel stations.
Swallow Bach is very centrally located and perfect to visit all areas of Anglesey.

Disliked: Not a dislike - just observations. The grass in the field was rather long and the gravel hard standings were in need of weeding. We were limited to which pitch we used as the others had overhanging branches that would have been on our roof if we had parked there. As the advert states there are no toilets or showers at this site which could be a problem for those without on board facilities but there is electric hook ups and running water, for those on the hard standings, and an Elson point. 4G signal was also good.

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked: Small site quite

Disliked: Couldn't find it with the sat nav had to ring up to find right place. No one came out when we arrived could of done with strimming the grass around the electric and water point

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi thanks for review. All guests get an email on booking with directions specific for caravan drivers. Its says do not use sat nav as gets you wrong. For anyone reading this please follow specific directions. Re strimming. Its v dangerous to strim around live electric cables. But the grass is cut weekly in the summer. However if people have awning around etc then will not be cut. Hope these remarks are helpful for future guests. Cant always through a welcome committee either, but guests like to be left alone in my experience -always reachable by phone if not in person for any issues.

From the manager: Thank you. Next time probably should book a fully serviced pitch. Only a few quid more and makes life a lot easier. Though i know being off grid amongst the peace as nd quiet of nature is also a massive appeal.
