Liked: Loved every minute, it was so lovely there we paid for an night, the cabin was clean and tidy and had everything we needed. Based on a quiet site but close enough to amenities with a shop and pub 5 minutes by car or easily walkable. Andy the owner was friendly and chatty and nothing was to much trouble for him, we went to the gnoll park on the Sunday which was only half hr by car. Will definetly visit again.

Disliked: Nothing

Liked: Everything! The caravan was lovely and clean, had everything in it I needed. The area was peaceful and quiet; the owner was really friendly and helpful. Will definitely be going back for another stay! Haven't rated child friendliness as it's an adults-only site and I haven't rated wifi as I didn't use it.

Disliked: Nothing.

Local attractions

As you’re here to unwind, how about a visit to Clydach town (25 minutes by car) for canal walks and a stroll around the RSPB Cwm Clydach nature reserve? Or get some good-for-the-soul fresh air at the 200-acre Gnoll Estate Country Park (30 minutes). Combine treks with culture and spend some time marvelling at the area’s many historical landmarks. Carreg Cennen Castle (25 minutes); the castle, abbey and gatehouse in Neath (half an hour); and Dinefwr Castle (35 minutes) are good places to start. For the soothing sound of tumbling water, a collection of waterfalls can be easily reached – aim for Aberdulais Falls (30 minutes), Henrhyd Falls (30 minutes) or Melincourt Waterfall (40 minutes). Days can also be well spent at Cefn Coed Colliery Museum (35 minutes), which tells the story of coal mining on a former site; the National Botanic Garden of Wales (35 minutes), a must-see for the green-fingered; and the caves at the National Showcaves Centre (35 minutes) – there are waterfalls here, too.
