What customers say
Gorgeous, tranquil spot with a river and stunning views. Spotless facilities, super-friendly staff, and great walks for dogs. Local pub nearby. Mostly excellent, though WiFi and dishwashing spots could be better. Everyone wants to come back!

Powered grass tent site (no pets)
Liked Firstly when I arrived the owners were lovely, very welcoming, explained where I could pitch up, they then told me about a lovely breakfast spot down the road, where the closet shop was.
The pitch itself was beautiful, right next to the river, the electric was easy to access, we ended up having the whole space to our self which was lovely and felt very private.
The showers and toilets were cleaned regularly and always warm when we walked in. I would definitely recommend this place! It has a lot of things to do within an hours drive too!
Disliked The only thing I would say is having a bin/rubbish area a bit closer to where the pitch is, just easier for everyone to keep clean down in that area

It’s lovely to hear that you felt welcomed on arrival and enjoyed the riverside pitch, peaceful surroundings, and the little local recommendations too.

Love the pictures too:-)
We really appreciate your feedback about the bin/rubbish area as well – that’s a very helpful suggestion, and we’ll certainly look into ways to make this more convenient for guests staying near the river pitches.

Great site for walking and exploring the Berwyns.

Liked Lovely welcome from the wardens. Level hardstanding pitch. Facilities were great and very clean. Loved the sound of the river running alongside and with great walks directly from site - lucky enough to see a peregrine falcon among plenty of other wildlife on show. Definitely plan to come back.

From the manager: Thank you so much for your kind review.
We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay with us in March and that the warm welcome, well-maintained facilities, and level hardstanding pitch all met your expectations. It’s especially lovely to know you made the most of the riverside setting and nearby walks—spotting a peregrine falcon is certainly a memorable highlight!
We truly appreciate your recommendation and are very pleased to hear you’re planning to return. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon.
Breathtaking location, excellent site all round. Very peaceful stay.

Liked A fantastic, well kept site in a beautiful part of the upper Tanat Valley. The backdrop of Craig Rhiwarth is spectacular, with the gentle sound of the river audible from our pitch. Nice access to the village pub via the riverside footpath. Lovely clean and heated shower and washup facilities. We only stayed one night and we are from the valley originally, so it was ideal for a visit. The site team met us on arrival and were really friendly and helpful. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

From the manager: Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for awarding us a 10/10 overall! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the peaceful setting and the spectacular backdrop of Craig Rhiwarth – it really is a special part of the Tanat Valley.
It’s great to know you appreciated the riverside atmosphere, the footpath access to the village pub, and our shower and wash-up facilities. Our team will also be very pleased to hear your kind comments about the welcome you received on arrival.
We’re especially glad the site worked well for your visit back to the valley, even if it was just for one night. Hopefully next time you’ll be able to stay a little longer and enjoy more of the area.
Thank you again for your lovely feedback – we hope to welcome you back again soon!
