Penrhosmawr Holidays

A aimé : Owner appeared friendly when we spoke with him on telephone. Cows and sheep in near by field.

N'a pas aimé: Hardly any flat surface to pitch tent. All on a slope, the grass really long to the point where your shoes and trousers were soaked just trying to find a place to pitch up. Toilets were dirty and smelled really really bad. We had to park the car on a grassy slope and climb hill with tent to be able to pitch up. No where for the children to play as they were slipping and getting soaked son fell in animal poo that was all over the field. Didnt even pitch up we left and paid to stay elsewhere. Not as advertised. Had a lovely stay in nearby campsites. We had booked for 2 plots and just cut our losses and paid elsewhere.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Wow!! Just wow! I rang you and asked if you were ok... you replied with "one of the children are ill and we have gone home"
You told a bare faced lie to my face and have the audacity to leave a review with more lies!!
There are no animals on the campsite!
Secondly it has poured down with rain?? Staying dry when it's pouring with rain would be difficult!
And thirdly try telling the truth in future it may well get you a refund!
Glad you don't want to stay again!

A aimé : Lovely scenery and very quiet.

We were camping to go to the bike park down the road and it was ideal for this. We walked into town a couple of times to a pub, a bit long but perfectly doable in nice weather.

I was going to arrive after 8pm and was still allowed in to the campsite at 9pm on the first night which was very helpful. Toilet was clean.

N'a pas aimé: Showers could've been a bit cleaner but was fine just wore sliders in the shower. Also only had one hook in the cubicle but had a bench outside the cubicle in the shower block and was so quiet no one else was about to worry about putting stuff there.

Thought it was a bit expensive especially for the showers

A aimé : The most incredible views - it really is a truly stunning place.
The owners were very friendly and came to check in on us and say hello.
Very, very quiet. I had an amazing night's sleep the first night as it was so dark and quiet.
Lots of wildlife.
A sense of freedom - no actual pitches. Just find somewhere you like and camp there. It felt more natural.

N'a pas aimé: Very basic facilities and no warm water.
Lots of sheep poo and slopes.
The farmhouse is a little way along the road and there was a group of people being noisy on the second night. It made me feel aware of my vulnerability as a single mum with my kids.
Remember your torch! It's very dark.

A aimé : Not a lot to be honest

N'a pas aimé: Had I not driven so far with two excited children I'd have turned around and driven home.
The facilities on site were dirty, smelly and broken . No toilet paper provided even though toilet paper holders were present. The floors were dirty. The bin was overflowing . There were old storage heaters in the ladies. Broken toilet seats. A step ladder actually IN one of the showers.
The facilities for washing up had rubbish laying around in bags and boxes that weren't removed In the two nights we stayed.
There were no bins down on the camping field.
When we arrived there was no1 around so had to call... to be told to wait by the toilet blocks and she would be down after she arrived back from town. We waited 25 minutes before I text her to ask if we were allowed to pitch up... by this time it was raining and dark. Myself and two young tired children.
We did not see the owners at all during our stay, even though I had asked about a fire pit one owner said no outright and the female said she would sort it when she came to check on us (this never happened). We ended up buying our own.
Considering we were the ONLY people booked in that weekend I would have at least expected the facilities to be clean and functional.
Communications between myself and the booking site and then further the owners initiated the owners telling me my stay would be refunded.... and I am.still waiting...

We did not see the owners at all during our stay, even though I had asked about a fire pit the male owner (on the phone and rudely) said no outright and the female said she would sort it when she came to check on us (this never happened). We ended up buying our own. We weren't ever checked on to see if everything was ok ... considering we were the only people there that weekend.

Quiet site

A aimé : This campsite was nice and peaceful and not too busy. It was easy enough to get into town for a bite to eat and just a 40 minute drive from Aberystwyth. The owners were really friendly and very helpful. We had a little stream next to our pitch which was so relaxing to wake up to!

N'a pas aimé: I don't think our neighbours on the first night paid any attention to the 10.30pm-9am quiet hours which was a little annoying but that wasn't the site's fault. Just drunk people being drunk people! There was no soap in the bathrooms either

A aimé : It’s a proper camp site - relaxed, fire pits, dogs and the amenities are basic but clean and functional. Owners are very friendly and helpful.

N'a pas aimé: Nothing

A aimé : Beautiful place with breathtaking views, the campsite is clean and well maintained ( just the showers that could probably do with a bit of updating but still useable) the people that run the campsite are lovely, my car broke down and they couldn't do enough for me to help me everyday that they could!!! The kids loved being able to be run about, make new friends and getting back to nature with campfires, river hunting and playing with kites, rolling down the hills, we've made some lovely memories and will definitely return again!

A aimé : Fabulous! Henry is always so welcoming and helpful ☺️ and the campsite is in such a wonderful location close to the town but you feel in the middle of nowhere! Despite the weather we had a wonder 3 nights as a family of 5 ! Can't wait to come back next year.
