Liked: Beautiful site with good size pitches, lovely to be camping in the orchard. Facilities were clean and good number for the size of the site. The owner is really helpful and friendly. On site taproom was a bonus!

Orchard non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: The owners are extremely accommodating and it’s a beautiful site with lots of snug pitches surrounded by apple trees. A pizza oven and BBQ can be reserved which we used.
Disliked: Paying for showers but in fairness £1 lasted longer than some I’ve paid for and the temperature was perfect.

Liked: The setting was very nice, pitches charming, host was friendly and good at keeping in touch, and facilities were great. Very clean. The children played in the river or on the swing: outdoorsy, foresty things they enjoyed for a few days. Tap room on site is an excellent bonus: adds character, tasty drinks, does not spoil the peace.

Orchard non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: There's so much to like about this campsite... Pitching amongst an orchard, car free field, nature walk a few yards from our pitch (with a river for dog/child paddling), seeing for children, on site tap room with great beer/ cider, delicious charcuterie & cheese boards at the tap room, fire pits/ logs available, very friendly and helpful staff.
Disliked: Our first night was extremely busy (bank holiday combined with hay festival) so the facilities were a little stretched, though they were more than sufficient on the other nights. A nice to have would be soap and paper towels in both toilets, one had soap, the other towels, not a big issue as I could travel between the 2. (as a contact lens wearer I need to ensure I remove them with clean & dry hands).

Orchard non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Excellent friendly campsite with good quality pitches that were well spaced out. The campsite has everything you could need and was great value for money. The onsite brewery was a big plus.
Disliked: Showers required £1 coin to start and were on a timer which was a little awkward but was ultimately a minor inconvenience

Orchard non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: This is a place where we stayed before and loved it. It is small and green, close to Hey-on-Wye.
Disliked: This time, it was overbooked and too crowded. Yes, we came in the peak time of the Hay Festival, but the numbers should have been limited like last year. The toilets were blocked because of the amount of people using them.

Liked: Fire pits to borrow and logs/kindling/firelighters for sale Swing, downhill kart and climbing tree for kids to play on Clean toilets Friendly staff Long grass around pitches to encourage wildlife - so many birds around the site! No cars on site, so safe for children to run around (the car park wasn't far and wheelbarrows were provided) Easy walk across a meadow down to the river for a paddle
Disliked: Pitches are a bit sloped No private washroom with a basin, only showers that charge £1
