The Vale Park Hotel and Touring Site

Positiv Nothing

Negativ Shower & toilet facilities dated with poor maintenance.
Surrounded by two busy roads resulting in lots of traffic noise.
Promoted as being dog friendly but limited space to walk one on site and due to the busy roads difficult to walk off the site.

Positiv Overall, it was okay – but definitely not worth the £40 per night we paid.

The owners were super lovely and did keep checking in to see if we were all okay with the visit which isn’t something which normally happens when we have previously been away.

Negativ The site was a fair distance from pretty much everything except the airport, which meant a lot of walking along busy main roads just to reach the nearest bus stop. This wasn’t ideal, especially with young children in tow.

The shower blocks were very dated and in need of renovation. The biggest issue was that the lights would go out mid-shower, which made for a frustrating experience.

Noise levels were manageable during the day, but the layout of the site – a V-shape with main roads on both sides – meant that it wasn’t exactly peaceful at night. Motorbike noise, in particular, was quite loud and could easily disturb lighter sleepers.

While the bus into Barry itself was convenient once you got to the stop, the overall location and quality of facilities just didn’t justify the high nightly rate. I wouldn’t recommend it for families or those looking for a quiet, well-connected stay.

Positiv Sehr netter Empfang, die Lady hat uns auch noch Tipps für weitere Ausflüge gegeben.
Ebene große Stellplätze

Negativ Das Duschhaus ist leider schon sehr in die Jahre gekommen.
Dafür ist der Preis viel zu hoch.

Negativ Very close proximity to 2 major roads and the noise was horrendous and too close to other pitches, rubbish left on the ground at the remaining spaces and the owner had the worst attitude you could expect for a host. We were supposed to be there for 2 nights but left straight away as we just couldn't stay there .
