“Great Views, Great Reception & Perfect Location.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed June 25, 2012

A friend & I were looking for a good place to camp & also be central to the mountain bike centres.
We spent a week camping here & couldn't of asked for more. The welcome we received was fantastic. The facilities are for a campsite are nothing short of brilliant. Theres clean showers & wash areas with instant hot water.
There's a secure bike lock up, wifi & a kitchen area with a fridge/freezer & microwave.
It's very well priced, there's also a large wood cabin (basically a large wooden summer house) that you can stay in for just a couple of quid extra a night. This came in very handy towards the end of our hoilday when it started to get very cold at night & also chucked it down with rain.

The views across the farmland are stunning, watching the sunset over the distant mountains with a drink in hand was brilliant.

Overall I'd 100% stay here again & reccomend Cae Gwyn Farm to anyone looking to camp & stay in Wales close to Coed Y Brenin.

Room Tip: Ask if the wood cabin is avaliable to stay in!

“Ideallic setup for outdoor lovers”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 14, 2012

Stumbled upon this campsite by accident and were delighted at the facilities, view, hot showers, dog friendliness, and the welcoming reception by Dave and Sue. Perfect after some muddy mountain biking. Superb pub up the road within walking distance, great food and ale, friendly landlord even gave us a life back to the campsite! We'll be back. Thanks for the eggs! Bex, LJ and Lily.

“North Wales Traverse”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed April 29, 2012

I arrived early to dep[osit our bags in the B&B accomodation, Sue was most helpful, and pointed out the various interesting views in the distance. Our rooms were comfortable, but the bathrooms like lots of other B&B's had the tiniest sink with shelf fixed just above it so it was almost impossible to wash your face without depositing copious amounts of water on the floor below, worse than useless. The wi-fi was available in the farmyard or near to the B&B door, who is going to stand outside with a laptop or an Ipad, the wi-fi was not available by the front door either, and as it was raining you couldn't go out into the farmyard anyway, misleading methinks.. Sue made us very welcome and provided a lovely breakfast. It was a good experience with the above exceptions.

“Shed with a View !!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 31, 2011

Accomodation:
Ask to book the shed (imagine however a large summer house) but is ideal if you firstly cant get in the B+B because its booked out, or if you just want a break from rain soaked camping and need four walls and a roof. You will need you sleeping bag, cooker ect from camping however but it does provide a really warm, sheltered, stay.

Location:
1 mile up the road from the mountain biking - perfect!!

Owner:
David - friendly, helpful, relaxed and always happy to help in anyway he can.

Price:
£10 per night

Improvements:
Still a few issues with the plumbing but david is very hands on and was fixing this as we left

Overall:
Ideal for campers, couples, who are wanting some serious moutain biking and shelter.

“Great place, great owners, v. close to Coed y Brenin for MTB!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 2, 2011

Arriving late here as we drove from London, at about 11pm, wasn't a problem - just ring ahead first if you do. The welcome was just as bubbly and enthusiastic on our previous visit. The rooms are decorated to a high standard, separate from the main house, so guests have the B&B barn to themselves. This does require a certain amount of consideration as the soundproofing isn't great, and if you do have noisy neighbours you'll have to tell them as much! There is a small LCD TV in each room with ipod/iphone dock, though the freeview channels are limited by the signal you can get. Very good quality teas/coffees and biscuits also (re)appear in your room every day if you have used them!

Some may not like the fact that there is no cooked breakfast (only a cereal/toast/croissant continental), however since the mountain biking centre a mile down the road offers it and you're probably here for biking (?) that's not a problem. Even if you're not biking it's worth the trip! A secure, padlocked bike shed provides security for your bike.

There is a lounge area for use of the residents, with sofa and tv, however the same thing applies about the noise - don't go on too late! Sue is very helpful and will provide lots of advice on where to eat or buy supplies. Quite a few magazines (including Singletrack) and other leaflets or even discounts for local eateries can be found in the lobby area.

All in all it's a thumbs up and we'll be going back (for the third time!).
