Good pitch location and flat surface for tent
Power optional grass tent campsite (two person, small)
Liked The views were great for our pitch. Good location for the event we completed and staff advised us on a good walk just off the site.
Disliked Toilets were blocked, they got my booking wrong and didn’t have me done as electrical set up etc.
I found 1 staff member a bit rude taking a phone call on headset while talking to me.

From the manager: We are sorry to hear about that, mistakes do happen, staff member will be scolded about that, as per the toilets we advise to tell us if something is wrong so we can fix it, we check the toilets regularly but if something happens in the meantime and no one tells us, we cannot fix it!

Excellent site with clean facilities, friendly staff and level pitches
Power optional grass tent campsite (two person, small)
Liked Very tidy love the Vue. clean facilities, friendly staff and level pitches
Disliked The pitch was on the hill could do with some toilets on top off the hill
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your review, we are always happy when our campers are happy.
In the future we will look into having some toilets there, but it will be a bit hard as the infrastructure does not allow that.

Power optional grass campsite
Liked No nonsense booking through Pitchup, someone on site to show me the way to my pitch, despite the late hour. Price was fair, pitch size was more than enough for me and the facilities ticked most boxes.

From the manager: Thank you!
Good stay despite the negatives, We would stay again.
Powered grass campsite
Liked Location, self check in, great for Torrent walk.
Disliked Tents mixed with campervans, We prefer separate areas as we had large vehicles around us......toilets blocked, shower cabins like sweat boxes and shower rails rusty.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to review us, we apologise about the toilets being blocked but we do urge you to tell us if you notice that so we can go and unblock them, we check the toilets at least 4 times per day but if in that time something happens, it is advisable to let us know so we can fix it!
Not sure what do you mean by showers like sweat boxes, shower rails we are actively looking for a solution from keeping them to rust as it is a damp area and metal rusts!
Overpriced for ordinary facilities.
Power optional grass tent campsite (two person, small)
Liked View from campsite.
Disliked Run down shelters with a few dilapidated chairs , drop toilet didn’t bother trying to find showers. Other campers dogs barking at all the time.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Hi there, thank you for taking the time to review us, i am not sure what shelters you are mentioning, we do not have shelters or chairs on the campsite, only whatever the campers bring with them, toilets and showers are more than obvious, in the middle of the campsite with plenty of signs to point to them, and we are sorry about other camper's barking dogs, we are a dog friendly campsite!!!

Power optional grass tent campsite (two person, small)
Liked Amazing location with so much to explore near by. From cozy welsh towns to a variety of walks fit for all ages. The Campsite accommodates for all your camping needs with clean toilets and warm showers that are plentiful. For those who love quite , sleeping won't be a problem as the area is not near any main roads , the noisiest neighbours are the owls which was a pleasure to listen too , really sets the scene for where your staying. Finally all staff working on camp were kind and always happy to help. Highly recommend to anyone who loves the outdoors. Till next time Torrent Walk :).

Powered grass campsite
Liked The site is tidy and well kept, we have stayed here in a tent around 13 years ago, it's changed alot for the better since then. Lovely to see the horses and the geese and goslings.
There's an ESSO garage at the top of the narrow road on the main A road plus a Starbucks
