Anonymous Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Easily accessible from main road. Clear instructions received from owners prior to arrival. Excellent facilities. Toilets & Showers very clean. Well organised recycling & rubbish bins, even had an electric car charging point and a de-fib!
Pleasant views and very large pitches. Easy access to Barry / Cardiff / Penarth. Can walk to the pub in village in about 10 minutes.

Quiet site
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Very quiet site in a great location. The toilet & shower block by the entrance
( only 2 toilets and showers, but never had to queue), was very clean and there was plenty of room in the shower rooms, that had hangers, shelf & seat. There was another block just around the corner, which also had big sinks & recycling bins.
It only took a few minutes to walk to the bus stop, which either goes to Barry or over the road to Cardiff.
Added attraction was a big garden centre in walking distance over the main road, which had a good restaurant.
Disliked As we used the satnav, it took us up a narrow, dead end road, after we turned off the roundabout and was nearly opposite the farm !
But that was entirely our fault, for not reading the signs. No real problem.

Okay for one night
Anonymous Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Easy to locate, clean toilets, lights that come on at night so you can find your way to the toilets. Excellent recycling and washing up area. Clean and tidy.
Disliked Hardstanding was basically a car park with hock ups on 2 sides and sloped. No toilet paper in the toilet with the working lock when I went to use it. Other toliet lock broken. No info given where things were unless asked.
