Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Everything. The plots were large, the host was lovely and it had basic facilities that you need. Suzanne was very helpful, firewood available for small fire pits and recycling boxes. Suzanne will provide meals as ordered, we didn't try these but there was a lovely selection on offer. 30 odd mins to Cardiff, lovely drive to Porthcawl and Swansea. I would love to stay again. Hopefully with better weather.

Disliked: The narrow lane to property however there are other entry options that aren't as tight.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Owners really friendly, hot water in shower, nicest compost toilet I've ever used, nice size level pitch. Fire pit provided so lots of opportunities for smores and fire cooking, keeping teens and toddler entertained. Animals to see, beautiful view, feels really rural but nicely accessible to shops and m4. Owners contacted me over expected bad weather and were really helpful over it. Good phone signal with Three. Bottom line we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! 😊

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: What a wonderful host Suzanne is! Very friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Her husband even helped repeg our tent when the wind was up, and Suzanne leant us a tool to help dismantle when done. On site catering was very appreciated after a rainy night - the bacon sandwich and tea very welcome! There was a fire pit included, and roasting marshmallows is very important to us, so appreciated. Site itself is lovely, very rural and felt like a proper camping experience, which was needed. Pitch size was huge, and the small number of guests at a time made sure we felt relaxed and not at all crowded.

Disliked: The road getting to the site was challenging for a little car like mine. Just go very, very slowly!

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: - Traumhafte Lage - Kleiner Campingplatz mit großer Stellfläche - Freundliche und hilfsbereite Platzbetreiberin - kleiner Kinderspielplatz - Tiere (Alpakas, Schweine, Hünher, Gänse, Schafe) toll für die Kinder - Handys konnten wir im Haus der Platzbetreiberin laden lassen

Disliked: - V.a. die Gäse können sich frei auf dem ganzen Platz bewegen und hinterlassen überall ihre Spuren. Vor allem vor der Toilette am Wasserhahn sind reichlich Hinterlassenschaften vorhanden. - Keine Spülbecken

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Everything about this place is just amazing. If you are looking for a back to basics campsite but with a host who can't do enough for you to make it as comfortable as they physically can...THIS IS THE PLACE! Suzanne is always on hand to make homemade meals if needed at a fantastic price, and there to give a helping hand with anything. The site is completely spotless, quiet, just the perfect place to get back to nature. The kids LOVED the pigs, chickens, geese and alpacas, even given the chance to feed them. The views of the sea and surrounding valleys are incredible. Not far from the local sainsburys, and a short drive from the beach. Will not hesitate to come back here again. Thank you for a wonderful stay
