What customers say
This is a peaceful, quiet, adults-only campsite in a beautiful rural location with stunning views. Pitches are spacious and well-maintained. Facilities, including clean showers and toilets, are generally considered adequate and well-kept. Owners are frequently praised for being friendly, welcoming, and helpful.

Top Field non-electric grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Very quiet site with very spacious pitches. Local pub nearby is very friendly. The owners of the site were very accommodating and the fire pits are a lovely touch. Clean well kept facilities and self checkin works well.
Disliked Nothing to dislike on site. The road to it is narrow (one way traffic) not a camp issue but just a warning to go steady on this road.

Hosts were friendly and helpful. Campsite is excellent.
Top Field non-electric grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Large pitch, with decent gaps between campers. Facilities were as advertised and clean. Location is excellent, close to a local pub and 20 minute drive from local town, but far surrounded by countryside so no disturbances.
Disliked Nothing to dislike about this site.

Beautiful campsite with good facilities
Top Field non-electric grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Absolutely stunning location with nicely laid out camping pitches and decent facilities. A good location for going to Aberystwyth.
Disliked Very stony pitch, couldn't put pegs in more than 2 inches. Toilet paper ran out in 3/4 of toilets and there were no spares (we could have called the site manager but we were only there one night and were leaving at that point)

From the manager: Hi
Glad you enjoyed your night with us. Sorry about the loo roll situation. Some campers take it to dry their tent! Then it runs out. When we checked at cleaning time we found the empty canisters. All sorted. Please do let the site manager know on any site if there are any issues. We would rather rectify them straight away than find out we had failed you by a review. You’re welcome back anytime. Kind regards
Andre
