Liked: I have spent two night's with my son. Loved the location, very close to walking trails and other attractions that we wanted to see. The campsite was exactly what we been looking for with Basic facilities and wild camp feeling, and campfire are allowed! Pub is very nice addition to a campsite with welcoming owners.

Liked: A little nugget of a site - very close to the river and Cambrian Way, with fire pits and a basic but effective hot shower. Warm welcome from the pub across the road where there is a proper toilet with 24hour access. Fantastic local ale on tap. Ample parking. Trees provided my pitch by the river with a good deal of protection from the storm while the wind was coming north up the valley, enough to have a fire for a few hours while the rain was steady and wind strong. Would definitely come again.
Disliked: No phone signal on the pitch (EE) but wifi in pub - and no signal is actually a positive right?

Liked: Really enjoyed my stay here, the owners were really nice and couldn't be more helpful, they made a massive fuss of my dog which was a plus and the locals did also! Would highly recommend to people who are looking for something with easy access and local amenities, but also looking for an adventure as I heard there's an amazing lake about an hour or so's walk away and also loads of hiking trails. Will be booking again soon if summer actually shows up!
