What customers say
Pool Farm is a neat, friendly farm campsite, loved for its welcoming owners and spotless facilities. Visitors rave about the farm animals, nearby beaches, and handy pub next door. Features include a shared kitchen with a kettle and fridge. Some noted weak phone signal and Wi-Fi. Small upgrades like brighter toilet lights and better signs were suggested. Overall, a great, simple rural escape highly recommended.

Perfect campsite for first time campers
Primitive grass and earth tent campsite (no pets)
Liked Friendliness of hosts, very relaxed atmosphere. Toilets were cleaned daily to a high standard. Lovely to have the fridge and freezer and kettles as back up. Pick your own pitches were of a good size. Car park right next to camping and could take car on pitch to load. Very good location to all shops, the ideal location for Ogmore, Southerndown, and Porthcawl too. Also a pub just over the road if it all goes wrong! Gorgeous smell of a proper working farm (not to everyone’s tastes but it made my holiday!), with goats and cows nearby. Also lovely fresh eggs!
Disliked That we hadn’t booked to stay an extra night! It was a shame we didn’t have any internet or signal the whole time but other networks might have done. Some people would see that as a positive though!

Liked Friendly, helpful people. Nice compact size. Cheerful cows next door. Good pub across the road. Kettle, fridge freezer most useful. Toilets and shower decent and clean. Near to beach, Cardiff, Porth Cawl. Not far from Bristol.

Friendly owners, toilets/kitchen kept clean, access to fire logs.
Primitive grass and earth tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Small pitch, but kept clean at all times. Small kitchens with access to the fridge, kettle and toaster.
Very friendly owners, felt welcomed and well looked after. We stayed at dog friendly pitch and kids loved chickens, ducks, horses and cows on the fields around us.
Bit further to the beach as expected however the walk was fantastic though woods and fields - with young kids would be around 30mins
And the fact we could buy free range eggs was a bonus
Will definitely be back!
