Free WiFi is available. Guests have access to a room with washing-up area, fridge and freezer, washing machines and a tumble dryer. The Snowdonia Parc pub is a 15 minute walk from site.

Helen and I have been running the farm and campsite since 2010. The farm has been in Helen's family since the 1820s so we decided to carry on the tradition, giving up our former lives and becoming farmers and campsite owners.

We have brought about huge changes in both businesses. On the farm we have focused on becoming sustainable and taking every opportunity to reduce our carbon footprint, we have diversified into exotic mushrooms, micro greens and other salad and vegetable crops, changed our grazing techniques for our sheep, eliminated fertilizers and introduced hydro and solar electricity generation.

On the campsite, we've made efforts to upgrade everything, including turning an old cow shed in the heart of the farm yard into excellent accommodation! Having said this we are a small campsite, where we have tried to continually develop a family feel for our visitors. We are happy to show our animals and at times allow people to get really close to them.

We are relatively remote yet at the same time close to many attractions including the iconic Mount Snowdon and sandy beaches. But sometimes it's nice just to stop and look at the amazing scenery, breath the thick clean air, and listen to nothing but the sounds of birds, animals and the nearby streams. Peace and tranquillity for a few moments.
