Liked: The 2 ladies are polite.
Disliked: The site is very rural there's no shops or pub near by there's not even a footpath so you can't even go for a walk safely. It's close to a main road so very noise when you try to sleep. The kitchen and toilet/shower are very basic. Are the bus only runs every 2 hours on a Sunday.

Liked: Friendly and helpful staff. Handy for Barry or the airport. Facilities fine. Can’t hear the airport for the road noise but at least traffic noise only ramps up at 6am at the weekend. Earplugs recommended.
