This is a well-maintained, clean, and peaceful campsite set on a working farm, highly recommended by guests.

Lovely site, very peaceful, superb facilities!
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked This is a lovely site in the grounds of a working farm. The pitches are mainly grass. We had booked a hardstanding one, these were on tarmac with no grass at all and looked like a car park . We were greeted by Daniel who said we were OK to pitch on one of the grass pitches. As the weather had been so hot and dry the ground was like rock so grass it was.
The facilities are excellent, with lots of emphasis on recycling; all the various bins are in the dish wash area. This area is next to the showers. The showers are lovely with a whole unit to yourself, walk in shower, wash basin and toilet. Showers were lovely and hot!
A short walk to the right of the entrance is the main road where you can pick up the 96 bus to Barry or Cardiff, very good half hourly service.
At the same junction walk right then left onto Old Port Road to find the local pub, The Wenvoe Arms-very nice.
It was nice to see all the cows and their calves and to hear them mooing away!
Very peaceful and relaxed site-definitely recommend!
Disliked Absolutely no WiFi, which you need to plot your journeys, busy timetables etc
Hence 9 stars
