Rural break in Wales on the agenda? Book in at The River’s Edge and you'll have a restaurant on site and easy access to hiking or biking in hilly countryside 10 minutes’ drive from the market town of Abergavenny. This peaceful holiday park is on the edge of Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (formerly the Brecon Beacons), and 20 minutes’ walk from the scenic long-distance Offa’s Dyke Path as it passes through Pandy. Sitting right by the pitches is the welcoming River’s Edge pub and restaurant, a splendid setting for lunch or dining on burgers and steaks on those days when cooking is off your agenda. Call in for regular evening entertainment over the weekend too. Pet-friendly and family-run, The River’s Edge has spacious fields partially shaded by trees and family-friendly amenities including a shower block and a washing-up area. There’s also a kids’ play area right next to the alfresco seating area behind the pub.

Liked Everything, the facilities, including toilets, showers, and disposal areas were excellent. The pub was more than just a pub, the staff were welcoming, the food was outstanding. The grounds included many options for camping, caravans and motor homes. I would highly recommend Rivers End to all, including those with children and dogs, and I will most definitely be returning 😊

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked The site is beautiful and the pub is lovely food is amazing

Disliked We found staff rude as a group of 10 we phoned the pub in advance to book a table they asked us to pre order again this wasn't a problem for us we booked the table for 6 we arrived at the pub just before was shown to our table and ordered our drinks at the bar at 6.45pm we still hadn't been severed our food we understand that it is all cooked to order but that was the point of pre ordering my niece very politely asked if we could possible have the child's meal as he was becoming restless the waitress snapped at my niece that the "food was coming out "the same waitress then made hwr way to the bar where another family member was waiting for a drink and said to her co -worker " they come in as a big table and now they are DEMANDING the child's food " we were served a few minutes later and the food was amazing
On the Saturday morning the ladies toilets ( 3 of them ) were out of toilet roll my niece went to inform the owners to be meet with " well you all used it and my cleaner can't clean in the morning as it's too busy " again we understand this but we were just letting them know we found this very rude

From the manager: Thank you Annabele for taking the time to leave a review and we are obviously disappointed that we fell short in a few areas, excellent standards and service are what we always aim to achieve and it seems we got one or two things wrong here. We have had a very unfortunate run lately of guests removing our shower block products rendering all our other guests without the basics which we apologise for, without manning the facility day and night, we are struggling to police this particular area at this time whilst we find a solution, I am assuming our frustration may have shown which we truly apologise for. The preorder is and always has been to ensure we have what you would like and never means you will get it instantly unfortunately, we have both bookings and walk in business and it really does depend on the level at the time just how quickly we can get our food out and at a standard we are all happy with and I think we will possibly need to agree to disagree on how the question was asked and when based on our review of the evening. Again, we are sorry we fell short on one or two things and rest assured, we take all feedback seriously and discuss regularly where we can improve.

The hosts were very accommodating and friendly. We did a little concern…

Local attractions

Active types can be on Offa’s Dyke Path in 20 minutes’ stroll, or head off into Bannau Brycheiniog National Park from the pitches for mountain-biking adventures on the trans-park Cycle Across the Beacons route. Families can stretch their legs on the grassy common around the National Park Visitor Centre at Libanus (50 minutes’ drive), where red kites can often be spotted in the skies. Historic Hereford (half an hour) has plenty to keep everyone happy for the day, from the exquisite medieval Mappa Mundi in the Norman-era cathedral to the period oak furniture and wall hangings at the half-timbered Black and White House Museum, which dates from 1621. Learn about the region’s industrial heritage at the Waterworks Museum, and round off the trip at the Cider Museum for a guided tour and tasting session. Kids behaved nicely? Time for trekking adventures at Golden Valley Llamas (15 minutes). If the weather isn’t playing ball, make for the swimming pool and squash courts at Abergavenny Leisure Centre (10 minutes), or take toddlers to have a tootle around at the soft-play centre in Marlow’s Place (15 minutes).
