What customers say
A beautiful, peaceful site with stunning views and abundant wildlife, perfectly situated for exploring the coast. Guests praised the spacious pitches, immaculately clean facilities, and the excellent honesty shop offering local produce. The owner, Huw, is consistently described as exceptionally friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. While a desire for additional toilet and shower facilities was noted, it was generally seen as a minor point given the site's value and ongoing improvements, such as a new outdoor washing area with hot water.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Lovely spacious level pitch - we were in pitch 4 overlooking the pond - had really helpful advice from the owner to use our motor mover and go in front first to get the best view. Site is only small but really good for a weekend break like ours.
Disliked Not a criticism really but the owner did say the weather had stopped him from being able to do some jobs on the site and they showed but really not his fault!

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave a kind review, as mentioned the winter weather has played havoc with the planned improvements to the site, its rained constantly nearly every day since December but hopefully work will commence once the weather allows.
Staying again 100%

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked We could only stay one night as a stop over but could have happily added another couple of days. The site suited us perfectly, a warm welcome, clean toilets and showers, a massive 30 acres to wander round with ponds, marsh and river to explore with the dogs. Huw is a great host (and salesman!) - he talked us through everything and recommended some products from the honesty shop. We will definitely return and already know which pitches we want 🤗
Disliked Nothing at all

Ill Look forward to seeing you again at some point
Thanks a lot
A favourite of ours and within easy weekend away for us. Love It!
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Lovely little quiet site with lovely views. Has a small shop with home grown essentials. Nice clean toilet and shower, elsan point. There lots of places for dogs on leads to walk and a big pond to walk around. We have returned having stayed last year. Site owner is very helpful and goes out of his way. Like we said on another review this is definately a favourite of ours and within easy weekend away for us, especially since it is open all year. Top Marks.
Disliked No dislikes at all. Ideally a dryer for a longer braek but it's a small site and growing, so not a deal breaker by any means.
