What customers say
Super clean, well-kept site! Staff are friendly & helpful. Lovely riverside location with spacious pitches. Kids & dogs love the river. Nearby pub & dog walks are a bonus. Some prefer non-push showers & note occasional road noise, but it's generally quiet.

FHU cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked Lovely clean and luxurious showers and toilet block. Lovely pitch with tree for shade very much appreciated by the dogs. The field on the other side of the river where the dogs coukd safelybrnyer and paddle was a great I. The hot weather.
Disliked Only small thing not a fan of push button showers. Appreciate where hot and reduces water waste.

From the manager: Thank you so much Paul for your lovely review. We're delighted you enjoyed the clean facilities, your shaded pitch, and that your dogs made the most of the riverside field during the hot weather.
We also appreciate your feedback about the push-button showers. We understand they're not everyone's preference, but they're in place to help conserve water while still providing plenty of hot water for our guests. Thank you for your understanding, and we hope to welcome you back again soon.

Liked We had a great pitch very close to the amazing facilities. It was absolutely spotless! Great pub and only a few minutes walk away, unfortunately they don't allow dogs inside which was a shame as we got caught in the rain a few times.

From the manager: Dear Joanne,
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay and that you were pleased with your pitch being so close to the facilities. It's wonderful to know you found the shower and toilet block absolutely spotless, as our team works hard to keep everything clean and welcoming for our guests.
We're sorry to hear you got caught in the rain during your walk to the pub which is on the main entrance. We did just want to mention that the Cann Office is actually dog friendly and does allow dogs inside, so perhaps there was a misunderstanding on the day or a particular area wasn't available. We hope that information is helpful for your next visit, as it's a lovely place to relax with your four-legged companion after a day exploring.
Thank you again for your kind comments. We really appreciate you taking the time to leave a review and hope to welcome you and your dogs back for another stay soon.
With our kind regards

Must return!
FHU cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked Amazing! Superbly well kept, the owners were super friendly, they kept the site so well, staffs clean the facilities multiple times a day, always fresh and clean at all times. The river was great, my children (3&6)had so much fun here, couldn’t get enough of the splashing, the playground was great, a proper playground not just a couples of swings and slide. We have thoroughly enjoyed our 5 night stay and will be back! Highly recommend!!!!
Disliked Nothing! Not even if I was try to be very picky!

Liked Really nice and convenient location;
Took the train from Llanfair to Welshpool and walked to Powis Castle, then back and walked around Welshpool before catching the train back to Llanfair - nice day out!

We're so pleased you enjoyed our location and found it a convenient base for exploring the area. It sounds like you had a fantastic day out on the heritage railway to Welshpool, with time to visit Powys Castle and explore the town before heading back.
