What customers say
Dolswydd: neatly kept, tranquil spot with lovely country views & walks nearby. Friendly owners and campers, spacious pitches. Showers a bit basic/limited for some, but most would return for the peace.

Great site with hotel/ bar next door with access from the site Great x
Electric grass pitch
Liked Everything here - this was a return visit we enjoyed it so much last time, so much to see and do here if you want it, or just chill around the caravan and enjoy the peace and quiet even partaking in a glass or two of wine in the pub next door which is via a gate at the end of the hard standing pitches.) Good food there too!
Disliked Nothing really but did find the grass pitches a little tight to get our caravan off (twin axle)on the top corner luckily most people had pulled off when we left so had plenty of room to manouvere out but that’s just being picky not a real dislike

A lovely weekend
Electric grass pitch
Liked This was my first stay at Dolswydd (11/07/25) I initially booked for one night, but after a few minutes and a wander around I booked a second night and recommended it to my mate who arrived the next day.
The site and facilities are absolutely spotless, well kept and maintained, everything is very neat and tidy, other visitors were very friendly and welcoming too.
After about 10.30 pm the site was very quiet with no noise or disturbance of any kind, luckily the weather was excellent and the night sky was spectacular.
The Severn Arms pub is just through the gate at the rear of the site. The food was excellent, the beer cold and prices were very reasonable.
Pen y Bont is a beautiful area with some lovely walks and cycle routes with wonderful views all around.
Booking was easy and communications from Rachel were friendly and a pleasure.
I hope to return very soon.
Cheers!
Andrew

Electric grass pitch
Liked The space on the pitch (only us)
Disliked The old 80’s bathrooms. The only
Place to eat as advertised doesn’t do food on a Tuesday (wasn’t told this) the owner cutting headgear with a chain saw at 8:30am. Nowhere to eat no food as we were camping no such thing as a food delivery. Really disappointed. Left a day early. Won’t be back

From the manager: We are so sorry to read this. But we would like to clarify a few of your points.
The sinks, showers, paint work and panels were all completely new last year. The toilets and cubicles are older, but not in bad repair and are clean. Replacing these is not in line with our sustainability policy and there is nothing wrong with them. There are pictures on Pitch up profile to show you what it looks like before you book.
You would have received an email to confirm your booking from us, advertising other places to eat and where the local shops are. Unfortunately we have no leverage over whether the pub next door serves food the night you visit and on our email we always advise you book in advance.
The owner was not cutting anything at 8.30 am in the morning. The neighbouring property was having its grass cut by a contractor. This is out of our control and only done on week days. Although, you did opt to stay on a working farm - there will be noise, animals and all sorts of factors that you may not be familiar with when in rural Wales.
We are in deepest rural Wales - no, there is no food delivery service here. We do not advertise that there is and would always suggest guests research this before traveling. The local shop is two miles away and Llandrindod Wells is 5 miles away with many food takeaways and supermarkets. It is clear that you did not read the booking confirmation email.
No there is no Wifi, we do not advertise on Pitch up that there is and our confirmation email to you states this also.
Child friendliness - there are areas of land to walk, play football, tennis or any other games the children would have wished. As you were traveling with children we specifically placed you in a bigger area for this purpose and always will where we can.
Not once did you contact us, or try to catch our attention in any way. Our phone numbers are on the email we sent and on the notice boards.
We are really disappointed that you felt the location and many other factors were 1/10. Reviews such as these can be extremely damaging to a business and we are especially disappointed that you did not even try to make contact, we would have helped you find a site more to your liking. We would suggest you thoroughly research where you are visiting, the facilities and ensure you are prepared for your visit before booking another site in the future. We also suggest you read any emails or information sent to you beforehand.
We had an amazing stay on the farm thank you
