Liked: It was a cheap no frills kinda site. Owner came to speak with us and gave us an information sheet. Temporary toilets that were kept clean

Disliked: We had no phone coverage or Wi-Fi. This is not the owners fault but we did not realise this and could not complete our arrangements for the following day!

Unpowered grass motorhome site

Liked: A lovely little site for a short stay, in a beautiful location. We were greeted when we arrived. The facilities were basic, but perfectly adequate - 2 portaloo's and cold drinking water only. Great walking routes and the scenery was stunning. Very little mobile signal, but we loved that, as we could fully switch off.

Disliked: No recycling or rubbish point, but we were made aware of this before our arrival.

Local attractions

You’re never short of an ancient building in this corner of Wales; start off a day off castle-bagging at Usk (10 minutes’ drive) where medieval ruins border landscaped gardens, or head for Raglan, once a mighty defence castle and now open for self-guided tours. Moated Caerphilly Castle (35 minutes) has a trail of underground passages to explore, and if you haven’t had your fill of history by now, try glorious Tintern Abbey (40 minutes) for a stroll among peaceful ruins. If you’d rather be yomping than mugging up on history, there are plenty of challenging hikes in the Brecon Beacons National Park (15 minutes) or stroll to Symonds Yat Rock in the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (40 minutes). The whole area is full of places to get out for a great walk or bike ride, and there's dry slope skiing in Pontypool too. If the kids are behaving, treat them to subterranean mine tours at Big Pit National Coal Museum (20 minutes), and if you all fancy a big city day out, Cardiff (45 minutes) hits the spot with rip-roaring RIB cruises around the bay and international musicals at Wales Millennium Centre.
