Bwlchgwyn Farm Campsite and Pony Trekking Centre Reviews

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

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).

Look forward to you coming to stay again! Many thanks.

Good location, but site could do with a spruce up!

The views are excellent from the site. The toilet block was clean with plenty of hot water. Disappointed that the chemical waste point was not in use as the construction was not finished. There were also sheep bones on the grass by our pitch and the glass bin was overflowing. It seemed that the site had not been checked/cleaned and tidied since last season. We were there late March but I would think the site would be tidied before peak season. There are a lot of caravans sited permanently and their pitches have a lot of debris (ie: old barbecues etc rusting) making the site look a little unkept. There are no paths leading off the site, you do need to drive to access any local walks. There is a free parking area at the railway station where you can access the walk to Barmouth.

Nice getaway

Clean facilities, hot showers and nice views.
