What customers say

This is a friendly, family-oriented campsite praised for its clean facilities, lovely animals and beautiful views. Visitors highlight the safe, enclosed fields for children, good value cafe, and helpful staff. While most reviewers had a positive experience, a few noted issues with noise, cramped pitches and occasionally inconsistent water temperatures. Despite minor drawbacks, many guests express a desire to return.

Margaret W.

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked The Friendliness of the staff...
And the manager/owner
Breakfast box and hot drinks at cafe very fresh and hot
Loved the picnic area
How easy it was to get too.
Lots of animals.
And nice small tent area.

Disliked No one to check us in on arrival as reception was closed. Manager did apologise next day when we made her aware.
Toilets and shower facilities are very basic. MY partner struggles to walk with his mobility, and found that we couldn't drive to our pitch not even to unload we had to carry everything across the field and found it very difficult. These are just a few minor points which im sure can be improved on.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Area was close to local places. It was ok for the one night for us. Did the job

Disliked Nobody to check us in. Someone had taken the spot allocated for us. People were walking past most of the night down the lane. Toilets were unclean and no toilet paper the entire time we were there. Looked like nobody had checked them at all.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Lovely little campsite with good facilities. Showers are large enough to be able to wash, dry and dress a child. Lovely fresh air.

Disliked Not much other than the rocks stopping my pegs going in.

Lisa M.

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked Loved the size of the site itself. Very peaceful. The farm animals are gorgeous, we didn't use the cafe on site but it seemed to be pretty busy. There are only 10 pitches so no risk of overcrowding. As soon as my tent was set up we were joined by a cat. My son loved him. Washing up facilities near the cafe. We were woken up one morning by the Highland cow, it was beautiful. I would recommend this site.

Disliked The tiny toilet block but if you head to the cafe toilets they're much bigger so not really any issue.

Local attractions

A castle visit is a must, but which will it be? Caerphilly Castle (25 minutes’ drive) is a medieval castle, Castell Coch (35 minutes) is from the 19th century and Cardiff Castle (45 minutes) has over 2000 years of history for you to uncover. With the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park around 20 minutes’ drive to the north, mountain hikes are always an option. Otherwise, the Sirhowy Valley Walk (around 15 minutes) is certainly spectacular. The long-distance hike has miles of walking over farms, woodlands and mountain ridges in the Valleys landscapes, beginning or ending in Newport. You may want to learn a little about the history of Welsh mining while you’re around these parts. If so, the Big Pit National Coal Museum (25 minutes) runs tours around a Welsh coal mine. Perhaps a visit to a cider farm too? Hallets Cider (15 minutes) runs cider tasting tours and food pairing sessions.
