Liked We had a fantastic stay here in Henstent Park. The campsite is in a lovely location and we were camped right by the river which was splendid. The facilities were clean and there was even a fridge and microwave in the little wash up room. Our wardens Roy and Caroline were very lovely and helpful, they lent us a map and gave us lots of useful information about the area. They showed us tremendous kindness which we are very grateful for.
The village has a pub and cafe and you can hike straight from there. We hiked to both the nearby Pistyll Rhaeadr waterfall and Lake Vyrnwy. We were without a car so took a taxi from Welshpool station.

Very enjoyable two nights.

Liked We had a lovely, spacious pitch for our campervan which had the brook running behind it and we were placed nicely out of the way. The scenery was gorgeous and very relaxing. Nice quiet campsite. Very friendly owners. There was a pub about 10 minutes walk through a field of sheep which was OK for us as the weather was amazing but if it had been raining, it wouldn't have been so good.
Disliked There was Wi-Fi on site but the signal was very poor a lot of the time (not the owners' fault obviously).

We’re delighted you enjoyed the views, peaceful riverside setting and the walk into Llangynog. It’s lovely to hear you found everything clean and tidy and that both you and your dog made good use of the dog field too!
Your comment about the road “fading into existence” made us smile — that quiet feeling is exactly what so many guests come here to enjoy.
