When we got there, Mike was waiting to greet us and show us around. The place was so much better than expected, full sized proper beds, full sized proper sofa and dining table, great size kitchen and own bathroom/shower room just behind the tent, but accessible through the back. The site was silent, no sounds except wildlife and so little light pollution the stars at night were amazing to look at. Would definitely go again.

The facilities and support from Mike were excellent. The location is a perfect place to relax and get away from it all. I would recommend it for any couples and will be back if we are in the area again.

Things to do on site and in the Llanwddyn area
The site is ideally located close to the spectacular scenery at Lake Vyrnwy and the Vyrnwy Dam. Explore the surrounding forest and the Rainbow Trails, providing great walking and cycling routes. Bike hire is available at Artisan's Café nearby.
Perhaps spend the day trekking to the peak of Snowdon, the highest summit in Wales, with breathtaking views from the top. Or sit back on your ascent aboard the Snowdon Mountain Railway. Alternatively, a ride on the heritage Llangollen Railway takes you through Corwen via the Dee Valley AONB.
History lovers can enjoy wandering the halls of Chirk Castle, complete with Bow Room inspired by the 1920s - don't miss exploring the glorious gardens here either.
