Liked: Site was lovely, as were the owners. Our dogs were very welcome at the site and in the pub. They even got treated to a sausage each followed by pudding. The pub did really nice food and the bear garden was fab. Bus stopped right outside the pub and was a 5 min bus ride to into Welshpool.

I have you on cctv. 16 people? Did you count everyone? Again don't tell lies. We are relived you won't be returning, meanwhile I'll dispose our your brown stained wetwipes that you dumped. I have reported you to pitch up and the Welsh authorities. Kind regards Tommy Gee

Liked: Location is great, lots of access. Didn't get to use the pub this visit as they had closed by the time we go there but during our last stay the pub is warm and welcoming. Shower block is lovely, actually gets hot! We were the only camper this weekend but I can imagine it gets quiet busy as there is only one shower.
Disliked: Nothing

Liked: Hard standing site was easy to access. Only one shower and one toilet on site but other toilets available when pub is open. Food was very good, staff very welcoming and friendly. Had a lovely walk along the Montgomery Canal into Welshpool
Disliked: You get used to the noise of traffic on the nearby road and the odd train passing by.
