Liked: Park was well kept, toilet and shower blocks were clean, useful to have a washing up area. Lovely location next to the river. Pitches were level.
Disliked: Would have been a 5 Star review if it hadn't been for the noise from road.

Liked: Really lovely site. You could tell how well looked after it is, even with all the rain we had, any signs drained away quickly and the hardstanding pitches were dry. Fully serviced pitches, very good, everything on hand. Showers/toilets were always clean and the water was hot, well planned out with plenty of space too. We had a great pitch with a view of the river, and also close to the great little playground area, my boys loved thst they could play football there too. We did the canal walk a few times, that was nice to have straight from the site. We also had a meal on our last night st the local pub, we'll priced and the food was lovely too. We were just sad to leave, we left 2 nights early due to Storm Kathleen, and not wanting to be driving home in even stronger winds than we were already getting.
Disliked: Nothing. Newtown is so close to drive to you don't need a village shop, or one on sire.

Liked: A really well kept site with concrete pitches surrounded by grass. The fully serviced pitch included an easy to use grey waste hose that would be suitable for the outlet on any unit. The facilities were clean and well maintained. Even though we didn’t use the pub (Mulefest weekend) the fact that it was a short walk from the site was appealing. The adjacent River Severn and Montgomery Canal provided an interesting walk.
Disliked: Obviously little the site can do about this but you certainly realise just how busy the nearby stretch of the A483 is at this time of year. Sounded a bit like the Isle of Man TT on Sunday morning.

From the manager: Thank you for your review, it was quite a busy weekend on the road and in the village!

Liked: Great little site close to nature. Fully serviced pitch, perfectly level, making setting up on arrival a doddle. Facilities on site spotless with nice hot showers. Go for a meal at the Abermule Inn, a quintessential village pub serving excellent meals at reasonable prices, a rarity nowadays. As for location, 10mins to Newtown, 20mins to Welshpool, and an hour to Borth, so a good base for exploring. Locally a walk along the Montgomery canal is an excellent fresh air fix.
