Weekend Trip to Magical Roundhouse or Train Wagon

What a gorgeous place! The perfect place for a calm refuge to reset and re-enter life restored. Lovely kind hosts, beautiful views and walks straight from the roundhouse enjoyed by us and our cat Blue. Absolutely magical. Such a comfortable bed, cosy lights, cooking supplies, folk takes - all you would need. Can't thank you enough!

The most wonderful camping site!! All the facilities were spotless and overall it was such a nice peaceful place. The owners were also amazing people who were so accommodating and gave great tips on things to do etc. We could not recommend it more and definitely plan on returning!!

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!

Great views of Eryri (Snowdonia) and across to Holyhead mountain. Great that you can have fires, although I didn't on my one night stay. The bonus of being able to book the sauna was fab! I was on one of the few campervan pitches and it was very spacious.

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.

What a special gem of a campsite. From the moment we pulled up the personable welcome, the beautiful setting and the great facilities all let to us having a much needed and truly appreciated mini break away. Thank you Callie and Gwyn we will definitely be coming back again soon!

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!
