Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Great location, lovely site. Facilities were very good, nice clean showers and toilets. WiFi worked well. Staff very helpful.
During my stay it rained at biblical levels all weekend, this caused the river to rise dangerously during the saturday evening and night. They moved us during the night as a precaution. They were really helpful and efficient and kept us all updated on the situation. Certainly have a story to tell after the visit 🤣
The local pub abermule inn is a great place to go, friendly locals and great food.

From the manager: Thank you for your review, it was a 'different' weekend.
We will always put safety first, and our visitors were all understanding, helpful and kind about the situation.
Thank goodness that it is very rare that we would have to move people.
The beautiful Sunday cheered everyone up!
Look forward to seeing you again.
(Hope the 'value for money' score was a typo!
