 I stayed at The Willows during May 2011 with my wife and our 2 year old boy. We stayed in one of the new 'Hobbits' which was a charming and cosy cabin.
Upon arrival we received a very warm welcome from Anna who provided us with all the information we needed for our stay. Anna and Miles really take pride in their campsite and they ought to be very proud of what they have achieved: the toilet block is immaculate and wouldn't look out of place in a swanky hotel, whilst the grounds are beautifully maintained. The washing up block was great too, with fabulous views overlooking the bay.
Life inside a Hobbit is very cosy indeed. Despite the cold and (very) windy weather, we remained extremely comfortable and didn't need to use the heater - despite daytime temperatures not getting above about 12 degrees for the duration of our stay.
Cooking is not allowed inside the Hobbit, so if you're planning a trip, be warned - you will be spending a lot of time cooking and eating outside. We took a tarp, a windbreak, a kitchen stand and a couple of gas stoves which did the job nicely.
What could make this site better? A play area for children would have been fantastic and made it a little easier to keep our son entertained. Other than that, the site is perfect - a tranquil paradise with beautiful scenery and very welcoming and helpful owners.

Stayed at The Willows for two nights in the lovely hot and dry April
Received a warm and friendly reception from Miles. He showed us to our pitch which was a grass pitch with a hook up. The pitch was on a slope but this didn't matter as we were provided with large sloped railway sleepers (or similar) to ramp our van onto making it perfectly flat!
The grass - wow - I've seen bowling greens that would be envious. Don't think I've ever seen grass as short or perfectly mown!
The view was amazing of the mountains and the sea with a lovely sunrise each morning. It was breezy, so take a wind break if you have one. I think it would have been less breezy in one of the other 2 fields but this didn't bother us.
The facilities - the toilets and showers were spotless and wouldn't have looked out of place in a hotel, lovely and warm and not a long distance from any pitch. The washing up area was good with a fridge for use by all. This did appear to be quite full but we didn't need to use it ourselves.
We took our dog with us who was welcome and remained tethered. The dog walking field is fairly large and useful for first thing / last thing walks.
We walked into Abersoch, going the 'road way' on the way down - took about an hour. Abersoch is lovely with access to the beach. Our dog could go on as it wasn't yet May. I'm not sure of the restrictions after May. Walked back following various footpaths using an OS map, took about 35-40 minutes (and was much more pleasant).
Would recommend to friends/family.

Enjoyed a four night stay here for the first time during the barmy warm Spring weather. Initially we 'glamped' in one of the new 'Hobbits' as no electric hook up pitches were available which was a hoot then moved on to a very spacious pitch with our campervan.
I think it's all been said really about Miles, Anna and their beautifully kept site. No it's not cheap but if you don't want keeping up all night by teenagers and you want pristinely mowed spacious pitches with hotel standard showers and wash facilities it's money well spent.
You can brew up in the washing up room, there's a microwave which is handy and refrigerate or freeze your food so in the end I didn't need an electric hook up.
Great location for visiting Abersoch and it's beaches, great for walking, the only improvement that I could possibly see would maybe be some kids play equipment in the playing field.
We'll be back !

Just returned from a great holiday in Wales with fantastic weather. This was the 2nd site we stayed at during our 10 days tour and I wish we had saved it til last as no other site can compare to this one facilities-wise.
The toilet block was luxurious and warm, the dish washing block was really cute, clean and had the most amazing views you could hope for whilst washing up.
There was a great little info shed which gave directions, walks, menus of local eateries and doggy advice (much appreciated). Although there is no shop on site they do sell some local produce which would be great for a barbie.
There is a large field for dog exercising which I believe is also to be a play area too. I really appreciated the fact that the owners do warn dog owners about the local neighbouring farmers having guns - we have been to many sites in the western isles where there are sheep nearby but there is no info regarding dog exercise areas and local gun-toting farmers.
We toured around the area and enjoyed a coastal walk and a tour of beaches. We also had a lovely meal at The Ship.
Anna and Miles were extremely friendly, laid back, and most importantly, seemed to take pride in the site and genuinely enjoy dealing with people.
The only issue I would like to raise (not a gripe as I never bothered to speak to them about this) is that our pitch (within the caravan area) didn't appear large enough to allow us to put up our awning even though I did mention the use of an awning when booking.
We have a skinny little type 25 van and an awning which may seem large next to the van but would not look out of place attached to a caravan and so I would not say that it is excessively large. We had planned to use the awning but the weather was so nice we decided just to use a wind break for some privacy instead.
As I have said, this is not a gripe as we never raised the subject with Miles and Anna, and there are different sized pitches available. I am sure they would have accommodated us had we mentioned this to them. I would just recommend checking about pitch size when booking if you are planning to use an awning.
Value for money? absolutely! This is the most expensive campsite we have ever used and it was worth every penny - I wouldn't actually say it is overpriced, I would say that you get what you pay for (and more).
Cant wait to return!

Arrived late afternoon to warm welcome from site owner. Yes, the 5 stars in the title really does reflect the quality, clearly aimed at the exclusive market. Offered the use of a TV aerial hook up lead but not required as digital signal was fine.
I am sure the views were wonderful but unfortunately a heavy mist spoiled that. Toilet and shower block would not shame a boutique hotel. Showers hot as you wanted. Perhaps the washing up water could have been warmer but a kettle was available to top up the temperature.
Very quiet area, nearest shop a bit of a walk, as was nearest pub/restaurant. Narrow approach road but entrance wide enough for even a large unit. No hesitation in recommending.

We stayed in the willows new attraction called (hobbits) they have two of these, and are much the same as camping pods, they are beautiful inside and outside,very warm and cosy. We stayed the 12th of march for the weekend and the weather was horrible but we had a great time. The site is one of the best we have stayed in (we do a lot of glamping as well as camping) and have travelled the country looking for those great sites you always want to go back to. This is one of them.
The family who run the site are great (friendly) as well as the couple who help run the site, nothing is too much trouble for them. The shower and toilet facilities are amazing, you almost feel bad for using them they are that clean. Real hand soap and real loo rolls all supplied. The facilities to wash up those dishes are indoors too, with fridge & freezers for your food and supplied ice packs for your ice box. There is a microwave avail (you need 20p's) for this. They have a small summerhouse which has a freeview TV in so you won't miss you soaps ladies.
This is a truly exceptional site, and the views are wonderful, you can see MT Snowdon on a clear day. Lovely people, lovely staff, lovely site, you wont be sorry you booked

Once again a wonderful holiday. Every thing you could wish for. Shower block amazing always spotlessly clean and endless hot water. Dishwashing facilities top class.
A beautifully positioned camp site with every thing you need for a truly relaxing holiday. Very peaceful site with stunning views and very helpful and charming owners. Miles and Anna always on hand but very unobtrusive,very helpful to novices and experienced campers alike.
We had a campervan with electric hook up and a rather large tent.We were made to feel very welcome and knew they would do every thing they could to make our stay as enjoyable as possible.
They have created a beautiful,quiet and very clean site in an area of outstanding natural beauty
Has a good local shop very quick walk and surrounded by breath taking views and outstanding beaches.
This was our third stay and cannot wait to return.

Spent 10 days here and could not fault it. Anna & Miles are very welcoming and helpful. The facilities are second to none.
Shower blocks are superb with plenty of hot water and ample toilets/showers and wash basins.
The washing up facilities are good again with plenty of hot water and everything is kept very clean and tidy. Large bins for all the rubbish and plenty of water points. You are also given a cable to boost your TV reception, however we found we did not need it, freeview had the best signal we have found anywhere.
The access for caravans is great with plenty of room to manouver into your space and you have room for awing and car on each pitch.
The dog facilities are brilliant a large field that is mown with plenty of room to let the dogs have a good run and play.
The views are amazing from the site and there is a summerhouse which has a lot of local information/leaftlets inside. Anna & Miles are always very helpful with any questions.
There is a small shop in the village and Llanbedroch has a Londis supermarket. There are plenty of shops/supermarkets etc within a short drive.
There are plenty of walks which can be started from the site and lots of beaches and coves to explore within a short drive. We went blackberry picking in the lanes by the campsite, very tasty especially with apples & crumble!
We highly recommend this site and will definitely be back for another visit, its a lovely site in a great part of Wales with welcoming hosts.

We have just returned from a 5 night camp at the willows, on arrival we went into the office and were greeted by anna and miles who gave us all the info req,
We found a fairly level pitch and set up camp, the views are 1st class and the site very clean,
However the water in the showers was only ever luke warm the shower room itself though very clean was cold with no heating on.
At night the site was very dark and feel some lighting should be installed for safety,
In saying all this we enjoyed our stay
Owners response: Had this customer informed us about the water temperature, we would have shown him that there are water temperature adjustment dials on the actual shower panels. You can have it from piping hot to stone cold it is up to the individual.
The heating in the shower building comes on in late September or when the outside temperature warrants it. It has been a mild September to date and nobody else has commented when asked.

We received a warm welcome from Anna who showed us to our grass pitch,there's loads of room to manoeuvre so reversing on was easy. Level pitches,well kept site with excellent facilities and views from the site. Local shop about 10 min walk away for basic daily needs (Papers and beer!). A summerhouse holds loads of information on the local area,eateries,etc.
We used the laundry once and found it met our needs.
The site is ideally situated for both Abersoch and Llanbedrog beach. There are some lovely walks from the site,especially up to the 'Jam Pot' a derelict windmill.
We enjoyed our stay so much we booked again for next year before leaving and cant wait to go back.
Dont forget to try the burgers,They're fantastic!
