Weekend Trip to Smugglers Cove Boatyard

We loved our stay at smugglers cove! The pitch is very well maintained with stunning views. It’s so peaceful and the fire pit was great in the evening. Facilities are clean and well kept, lovely to have warm water for washing up. We can’t wait to come and stay again in the spring/summer. We loved it!

The pitches sits on a raised slate plateau, nestled under the treeline...separated from the other pitches by shrubs... (picture taken in early spring before a lot of the green leaves have grown back after winter!)

I loved the Boy John. There was so much attention to detail in everything on board. Very comfortable bed and plenty of lighting. Also clear instructions around the site, regarding water, showers, toilets etc. All facilities very clean. Nothing compares to having your own little bit of coastline !!

I can’t adequately express how wonderful our stay with Callie and Gwyn was. The camping meadow was serene with picturesque views of the sea and surrounding hills. The camping amenities such as toilets and showers were immaculately clean and which was welcome after a long day of hiking. There is also a bonus of a converted barn with fridge/freezer, games, and shelter from rain if needed. Perhaps most notable about this stay were the fantastic chats we had with the hosts who were keen to share their love for the local area with handy tips and hints. This will be perhaps the first campsite we definitely will return to. Thank you both for such a fantastic stay, we can’t wait to return!

Our family of 3 loved this place. The views are spectacular in every direction. The facilities are clean, fresh and well maintained. The weather was great when we were there, but there is a cool barn which would be great for when there is bad weather. Lots of space and some cool games to play. Very peaceful and family friendly.

2 nights at Bryn Ifan Camping

Where do I start? Callie and Gwynn who greeted us when we arrived are lovely people and really looked after us whilst we were there. The site and space they have created is amazing. Toilets, showers with toiletries, kitchen, games, shelter, power for charging, views, fire pits, wash stations, washing line, well maintained land and some adorable cats! What more could you ask for?! My only regret is we visited to climb Snowden and I wish I could have stayed onsite more to take the views and peace and quiet in. Embarrassingly I mispacked something and only realised when we arrived but Callie and Gwynn went above and beyond to help and single handedly saved our trip to climb Snowdonia. We will definitely be back! Thanks guys!

Callie’s site was absolutely lovely! Everything was clean and well kept, and the showers were nice and hot (which was heaven after a long day). The barn with all the games was such a fun little extra. Honestly, couldn’t fault it—would 100% come back!
