Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Lovely little campsite. We stayed for 1 night just to get away with children and had a lovely time. However, it’s also a great location for days out in Cardiff etc. toilets and shower very clean and the little bar/cafe lovely.
Disliked: I struggled to get the shower water warm enough…could be used error though.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Arrived and went to the cafe to check in, owner/staff come over and greeted us, he was very friendly and showed us where all the facilities were then showed us to where out pitch was, toilet and shower facilities were clean and tidy and the grass was kept maintained, as it’s located on a farm there was a range of animals from goats to rabbits chickens donkeys and then horses in the neighbouring fields! Had some games for kids to play with and an opportunity to meet the animals at a small cost, they have two friendly farm cats too which loved a fuss. The pitch was level and the site was quiet and peaceful with a lovely view, there’s a cafe on site where we went and had sausage and egg roles which were delicious, would definitely recommend
