"What a beautiful gem tucked away in the middle of the Welsh countryside."
"Wonderful views all around."
"Great scenic pub at the bottom of Snowdon."
Cons:
"The only downside was no WiFi, especially in a place with no phone reception - this would be really helpful."
"What surprised me though was that there were no accessible toilets - the ladies loo was up a flight of stairs."
"Only flaw was that the outside seating area did look a bit tired."
"Also beware the unnecessary large rocks in the car park which took a chunk out of the sill of my car. Midges are a nightmare making it difficult to sit outside approx 10% of time."
"It was a nice cosy place, but the restaurant in the back was very quiet with no music playing, so it was almost eerie."
"Stunning well organised campsite in an idyllic location. However let down by seriously overpriced beer and food."
"Camping facilities are basic and I'm surprised to see only 2 toilets in such big campsite; there are always ques!"

"VERY DISAPPOINTED and won't be going back, having spent £40 on a two course meal (2 people) I left the pub still hungry."
