Liked: Really lovely location. Good amenities close to the pitches. Plenty of things to keep the kids occupied, so I could relax. The indoor play area was good on the soggy days.
Disliked: Because if the wet weather driving on and off the campsite got pretty muddy. Could do with a stone road way through the top camping field.

From the manager: Many thanks for your kind review and we look forward to seeing you on the farm again. We pride ourselves on providing a friendly and value for money attraction. The weather has been a challenge for us this year but overall given how wet the weather has been we feel we have done as well as could be expected and having only the gateway slightly muddy feels like a victory to us now the season is coming towards the end.

Disliked: The bathrooms/toilets could do with updating. Or adding a few more.

From the manager: Thanks for taking the time to review and we look forward to you returning to stay with us. Our toilets/showers are functional rather than "high end" but on the flip side we feel we offer excellent value for money having kept our pitch prices the same for the past 2 years, which includes free entry to Dyfed Shires. We are delighted you feel that there was plenty of activities and space for your children to enjoy.

From the manager: Thanks for your review and we hope to see you again on our site/farm. We appreciate the positive comments about the nature of our pitches. Despite the poor summer weather we have worked hard to avoid pitches turning from grass to muddy brown and we feel on this we have succeeded. We are delighted you enjoyed our animals and our friendly animal handlers. Your comment about our facilities is honest and accurate. We are more than happy to be sent an email over any "niggles" and would do our best to resolve or explain.

Liked: Plenty to do with the kids, lots to explore and great not to have to pay extra for the activities. Nice and quiet and Huw was friendly and very helpful would definitely go back.
Disliked: Campers would benefit from their own toilet/ shower block as farm gets busy with visitors.
