Bwlchgwyn Farm Campsite and Pony Trekking Centre Reviews

Great stay!

We stayed in Pod 2 for two nights, the price was great and the pod was cosy and a good size. The staff were nice, polite and on hand if needed. The pod was well insulated and we could hardly hear anyone outside. The toilets were almost below us, which made it ideal for a (very) early morning loo break!! The view of Barmouth and the mountain range was breathtaking and we found ourselves sitting out when we were at the pod just in awe. We finished our stay with a nice log fire and BBQ which was reasonably priced from the reception. We will definitely want to come back again sometime!

Brilliant campsite

Very good campsite with amazing views of the mountains, estuary, beach and town of Barmouth. However was quite a long walk from the closest village along a main street with no footpath, so most journeys are to be made in a car. Although, the facilities were fantastic, the staff were very friendly and the pitch was flat and very quiet. Would recommend.

Amazing views

We had a lovely stay here. The views of the estuary Barmouth were fantastic. It was quite a hill to get up. The showers were hot (although could have had some more shelves or hooks in some). Everything was kept lovely. We were able to have a lovely fire each evening and the logs and kindling were good value for money, making it perfect for s'mores with the kids!

Great few days

Great few days. We stayed in pod number 1 as a family of 4. My partner isn't a a fan of sleeping in a tent so the pod was a good compromise, will definitely stay again.

Wonderful sunsets

Booked this site and it was just what we wanted. Nice and pleasant site owners who are willing to stop and chat. The site is basic but the pitches over looking the Barmouth estuary are amazing and definitely doesn't disappoint. Some nice dog walks too. Showers are wet rooms with free hot water (novelty points 👍👍) Pitches are a bit exposed to the wind but overall thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Would benefit from a kids play area I think, or somewhere for the kids to play, but that's only a suggestion not a negative.

Fantastic!

So relaxed, very well-run site! Gorgeous spot with the perfect view to watch the sunset. Just perfect, went with my two young boys. Felt very safe, not crowded. Perfect views. Well organised site. Thank you!

Best place to stay to detach yourself

Best place to stay if you want to detach yourself from the busy world. The best camping site with the best view with all the facilities you want. Lovely welcome from the reception. Thank you, will definitely go back again.

Great views and not too pricey

For the amount paid, the view etc is brilliant. Toilets with showers are free and clean. Laundry area is big enough, each tier of camping has got it's own facilities from what I can see so there was never a queue for a shower etc. If you don't have a car you are a bit stuck, you can walk to Barmouth but Fairbourne isn't anything special (in my opinion). I'd stop there again for a night or two, l get that you would need to travel a bit far to get to beaches.

Such good quality and location for a bargain price!

Loved it! As soon as we arrived we were greeted and shown to our pitch, shown facilities and told the route to the village. Immediately we were in awe at the view from our pitch, as well as the short distance to the facilities which were very clean! There definitely is a steep walk up to the pitches but it's so worth it for the views and peace and quiet in the area. 10/10 - I recommend for anyone looking for a quality campsite to stay!

Beautiful site and really good views and nice owners

Absolutely gorgeous views and beautiful site. Would come here again and recommend, in a lovely location, brilliant place.

Brilliant place and hosts

Great place, me and my partner took our T6 and it was just excellent. Definitely will return.

Stunning views

Nice site in a stunning location, plots are good, spacious. Good facilities overall, toilets, cleaning area, drinking water. Reception was friendly & efficient. Only minor gripe would be toilets not always filled with hand towels & toilet rolls.

Camping

The views from your tent are amazing, defo going back again.

Amazing views

Great place, friendly staff and amazing views.

Lovely stay

We had a lovely few nights in pod 1. The views were beautiful, the facilities were clean and the staff were friendly. We enjoyed hiring a fire pit for a night and catching the nearby train into Barmouth. Kids didn't want to leave. Would definitely stay again.

Great campsite!

Great campsite with stunning views and close to the beach. Easy access to Barmouth via the toll bridge.

Peaceful and beautiful but cleanliness could be better

The site overlooks beautiful views of the coastline and sea. It is peaceful and near beautiful beaches. The pony trekking that is part of the site is fantastic and we did a 2 hour ride on the beach, which I thought was reasonably priced. The team of young woman there were great. There are also nice places to eat nearby. For me what let it down was the cleanliness and facilities. There are 2 port a cabin style blocks. The toilets and showers were in one. The doors had to be kept closed due to winds. One block had no windows. The wet room style facilities in my view were not ideal as the floors were always wet and dirty due to people using the toilet and showers in one. There was also nothing to clean with to wipe down after use. It was a busy bank holiday week and the block was grubby (not filthy, but definitely room for improvement in my opinion). I'm not sure how often they are cleaned but in a peak week they need doing often with the volume of people using them. The shower / toilet block is what would stop me returning. I think for the cost, the cleanliness could be better. For those with mobility issues it's a steep ish hill to get to the facilities and a gravel and dusty path. Not much to do onsite for kids but if you like peace and quiet with beautiful views then definitely a lovely place. The pony riding is a definite great addition.

2 night stay

We had an amazing stay, views and location were spectacular, lovely friendly campsite. Nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely be back again soon! Thank you 😊

Stunning views & pony trekking along the estuary and beach

Amazing campsite with stunning views of Fairbourne and Barmouth. Excellent facilities. Pony trekking was fantastic. We stayed for the weekend and already booking a week in July.

10/10

Brilliant location with amazing views! Facilities lovely and clean. Hosts very helpful and welcoming. Great place!

Good location

Good location, clean facilities and stunning view.

Amazing views

Situated high above the estuary, amazing views and caught some beautiful sunsets. Friendly, responsive staff. The XXL pitch was great. The facilities were clean and the hire of the fire pit was great.

Amazing campsite

Amazing site, spectacular views, near to all the places worth visiting like Fairbourne beach, Barmouth, the blue lake etc. Lovely, friendly owners and facilities were clean. They offer everything you need for camping in a tent. I hired a fire pit and they brought us kindling and wood for £6, which was fab. I brought my dog too. Thoroughly enjoyed the stay here and highly recommend it to all campers 🙂

Soo pleased you enjoyed your stay with us at Bwlchgwyn, Hannah. Many thanks for the great review, hope to see you again soon!

1st Camping trip in Camper

We only stayed 2 nights out of our 4 nights only due to the weather. The place is in a lovely scenic location and the views were to die for. The only thing that let us down was a puncture on our camper and the high winds blew our awning apart.

Beautiful

A beautiful place to spend a couple or even more nights. Lovely hosts, clean facilities and amazing views in a beautiful setting. Barmouth is within a hour's walk and train station is within 30mins if you want to venture further afield. Will definitely be returning in the summer. Thank you 😊 (quarry 3).
