The Vale Park Hotel and Touring Site: Electric motorhome pitch

General

  • Friendly and spacious park 10 minutes' drive from Barry Island beaches
  • Close to a bus stop for trips to Cardiff city centre, 10 miles away
  • In the grounds of a hotel, with access to guest bar and dining room

City breaks are fab. Beach hols are fab too. So it surely follows that combining a bit of both with a south Wales stay at The Vale Park Hotel and Touring Site must be doubly fab.

For your urban wanderings, it’s a 10-mile jaunt into Cardiff, where there’s heaps of stuff to keep you occupied for many a day on end: shops, museums, nightlife, the castle and rugby matches should get you off to a good start. One city aspect you’ll not need to experience is the search for a parking space, for there’s a handy bus that runs from a bus stop a few metres down the road from the site to the city centre.

Time to make a break for the beach? It’s a mere 10 minutes’ drive to get to Barry Island for days of sandcastle building, fish and chip scoffing and family-friendly hours at the amusement arcades or Barry Island Pleasure Beach. And if it’s more exotic beaches you had in mind, you’re only 10 minutes’ walk from Cardiff Airport should the mood take you to leap on a flight somewhere more far-flung.

Scoop up supermarket supplies while you’re in Barry and you’re welcome to stoke the coals of a barbecue back at base; if you’re more in the mood to eat out or sip cold beers in smart surrounds you’re equally welcome to join fellow guests at the hotel’s bar and dining room.

Please note that the pitches here are next to a main road that may be busy.

    Owners were really friendly and couldn't do more to help you out throughout your stay.
    Pitches were spacious so you didn't feel overcrowded at all.

    Disliked: 

    Toilet and shower facilitates are quite dated.
    Water pressure and hot water could be limited in the showers so not the best experience.
    Site sits on a junction of a roundabout so can be quite noisy with traffic.

    My wife and i have been camping across Europe for the last 30 years, sometimes as a couple, sometimes as a family and sometimes as an extended family group.
    Never in all this time have we experienced customer service as we enjoyed here - the number of favourable experiences we experienced at Vale Park were so unexpected and kind that it would be unkind to the hosts to mention (for fear they would be expected to repeat the same for all).
    Some of the negative reviews are factually correct; the toilets are old and clean, there is some road noise. How many sites we have seen that have modern facilities that aren't clean, how many have no road noise in perfectly convenient locations? However despite this - from my perspective they completely miss the point about what Vale Park is.
    Vale Park is a family friendly site, in a beautiful location and i very much look forward to returning. Thank you!

    Disliked: 

    Negative reviews - as i've said they completely miss the point.
    if you value customer service as it should be - there is nothing to dislike....

    The ground was soft which was to be expected with the amount of rain over the last week.
    Gerald was very helpful.
    Read reviews.
    Yes, Toilet & shower block outdated but very clean and usable.
    Road noise, but didn’t bother us and certainly not enough to stop me sleeping.

    Great location for visiting Cardiff & Barry.
    Thank you for the stay.

Local attractions

The beach at Barry Island is a smashing sandy stretch that’s fab for families, with its sheltered shallow waters, numerous cafés and amusements to play with; it also welcomes dogs in certain areas. If you’re looking for something a little different, head half an hour along the coast to Southerndown for surf schools, or to Ogmore-by-Sea to ride horses along the sand.

Cardiff’s a cracking city to visit, too – on top of a generous range of shops, restaurants and the like, the Welsh capital is also home to all manner of leisure facilities including an ice rink, go-kart track and whitewater rafting centre. If you’re after something a bit more cultural there are always shows to take in at the Wales Millennium Centre, and visits to Cardiff Castle and the excellent (and free) indoor/outdoor exhibits at St Fagans National Museum of History.

More? There are three golf courses within a 10-minute drive, a designer outlet village half an hour away and a bunch more castles to saunter around (Fonmon Castle, five minutes away, is always good for a foray).

Must see

  • St Fagans: National History Museum (6.1 miles)
  • Millennium Stadium (8.1 miles)
  • Cardiff Castle (8.2 miles)

National Trust

  • Dunster Castle (16.2 miles)
  • Dunster Working Watermill (16.2 miles)
