Lovely to be on a working farm.
Lovely host
Disliked Pitch 32 as you are in the heart of nature and this is no reflection on the site.
Just be careful of the mice as they chewed a hole in our tent. Easier to go closer to the pitch 33 sign.
Wouldn't want any harm to come to them at the end of the day we are pitching onto of their home.

From the manager: Thank you for visiting us and for taking the time to leave a review—we are genuinely pleased to hear you had an enjoyable stay.
That said, we must admit to a touch of disappointment that the points listed under “dislikes” weren’t mentioned to us during your visit. We would have been more than happy to assist, including helping you move to another pitch. While pitch 33 doesn’t have an electric hook-up, we certainly wouldn’t have minded you relocating nearby had we known—especially as you had the entire area to yourselves.
We also appreciate you noting the presence of field mice nesting in the area—what a lovely bit of nature to encounter. We’ll make sure their little home is safely cordoned off so they come to no harm. That said, it would have been very helpful to know at the time so we could have ensured no one else set up in that spot.
Thank you again for your feedback—we do value it, even if we’d have preferred the opportunity to address things while you were still with us.

Great food and the pub less than 10 min walk away
Disliked Only one shower
Nothing else nearby in the village except from the pub
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for visiting. It is a shame there are no services in the village. Years ago, Penybont had a post office and shop as well as blacksmiths, livestock auction and even a Midland bank. Crossgates is only 2 miles away and has a shop at the garage, which are listed on the website and also in the information that we email out to everyone before they arrive.
We are pleased you enjoyed your stay.
A perfect site if you want a peaceful getaway So quiet and relaxing.

Liked Great spacious pitch near the toilet block. We had pitch 7. Lovely touch of a picnic bench on the pitch . What a lovely little site. Local pub/hotel 2 minute walk away. Dog field over a little bridge. Will definitely return. Friendly owners.
Disliked Only thing that wasn't ideal was one shower which didn't have the best pressure but a minor thing in a lovely site.

From the manager: Thanks for visiting. We have a plumber coming to look at the pressure. Thank you for making us aware of this.

Liked Our 3rd visit overall but 1st in our tourer.
Pitched on the small grass field with electric and water available close by (pitch 35).
We love the relaxing, quiet feel of this site. Time to just switch off and forget about the outside world for a while.
The field was very wet due to recent weather and we did have trouble getting traction to reverse on to the pitch. The owner was down to us in 5 minutes in a very capable off road buggy and placed the caravan perfectly on the pitch for us.
The weather improved significantly during our stay so we sent a quick message to Rachel and an extra night was booked.
This site is definitely our 'go to' quick booking for a few days away and we'll be back a few times during the year.
Disliked Nothing to dislike, we love it here.

Liked Beautiful surroundings, facilities were lovely, including fresh flowers in the cubicles and the water was lovely and hot.
Also, owners were very accommodating and let me change pitch as wasn’t sure my EHU would reach.
