What customers say

A lovely, tidy, peaceful spot by a river. Great, clean loos and showers, super for fishing and swims. Friendly owners. Roads can be tricky, and facilities might be busy in summer.

Jolene H.

Power optional grass and earth site

Liked A beautiful well maintained campsite. With all needs covered. It has pitches for tents, motor homes and vans. With picnic benches scattered around. A couple of toilets and showers. A unexpected horsebox conversion too. A wash area with hot running water and a refrigerator. Also a lovely communal firepit area.
We used it to visit Devils bridge falls, Hafod estate, Bwlch nant yr arian, and Aberystwyth, all close enough by vehicle.

From the manager: We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay with us Jolene, it was nice to meet you and your family... However....

Sadly your review comes with a sting in it's tail ! You gave us a 1/10 for Customer Services, I am sorry, but we cannot accept that, we bend over backwards for our guests and do all we can to make their, and your stay a lovely one, we are on hand most of the time and always there to help and advise when asked. We are very upset and insulted with your appalling rating of our Customer Services, it is very unfair of you - It would be nice if you could tell us what was so bad about it?

With regards to the facilities, we actually have 3 toilets and 2 urinals for the men.

You also only gave us a 1/10 for location, if our location was so bad and not to your liking then I have to ask, why did you book????? After all, you booked well in advance to have been able to research our location and to decide if it was for you. It is your opinion on our location, our location cannot change, it suits 99.9% of all the guests we have had for the last 6 seasons its the reason they come. Do you not look at maps?

As for WiFi, we have a very good mobile phone signal here, and WiFi is very good from the site WiFi if you need it, you cannot miss lead people and give misinformation/untruths, it is a bit naughty of you.

Very clean site and well maintained
