Penally Court Farm

Nice camp site that's situated just outside Tenby town centre and around a 40 minute walk along the beach or nearby path. The field we stayed in had 4 toilet/shower units split into 2 separate cabins that looked pretty new. Close to a nice little pub.

The toilet blocks needed cleaning more often as by the afternoon there was no toilet paper left and they were in need of a freshen up. There is a busy road backing onto the field. Our plot was against the hedgerow to this road which does make you worry about potential dangers.

Facilities well maintained, no issues with toilet ques etc. short walk to the beach & local pubs. Well spaced pitches.

Slight road noise, however this wouldn't effect me staying again

The space of the pitches and closeness to the electric hook ups.
Nice, clean shower and toilet facilities.
Dog friendly, plenty of space In the field for the dog to have a wander around without being closed in by tent pitches.

Longer than a 20 minute walk into Tenby, more like a 35/40 mins, across the beach (especially with a dog!)

very pleasant stay especially our walks along the beach into Tenby. Owners helpful when trying to set up.

This site was very slopping shall not use again

Lovely spot. Close to town and easy access to some beautiful walks. The management was very helpful.

Lovely location with great views and easy walks into Tenby . Dog friendly

A bit to close to a busy road, not the best amenities.

Wet rooms, location

Road traffic was very loud.

Location to both the coastal path & Tenby.
Shower cubicles were clean.
Price.!

Not enough washing up areas, toilet or shower facilities

The couple that run it were really friendly

The busy road along with the train and the army firing range right behind the pitch 🤦

large open field
outdoor toilets - so no going into a block with other people, useful during covid!
little shop in the village to buy supplies
opposite the coastal path and within walking distance of the big beach and train station

Noisy road - the tent field is located alongside a busy and fast road, it did quieten down over night, but motorbikes whizzing past or fast cars would wake you up in the night.

Not marked out pitches - The pitches were not marked out and so the managers squashed tents in and our guy lines overlapped with the neighbours tent meaning there was limited social distancing and it felt as if you were sleeping right next to another family. There was no space left for cars so you had to park your car outside your tent door and had no space for tables and chairs, although we did manage to bag an area next to our tent when our neighbours to one side and before the next ones moved in. A couple arrived pitched a reasonable distance away from our tent but the site manager was furious and demanded they move their tent so they could get another one in. They were given the option of being thrown off the site if they did not move, so we all helped them carry their tent to another space. A few days later a tent was placed next to us and it felt uncomfortably close as our heads when sleeping were less than 2m apart, which felt very dangerous in current covid conditions. It also meant that we could hear every word and a peaceful break was impossible as we felt as if we were sharing a small area.

Noise control - There was a very noisy group of tents who had a party until 3am one night, but there was no intervention. There was no checking the site for quietness or any signs to say be quiet after 10pm and on a number of nights car radios were left blaring and opposing music from different tents was played too loudly and too late (after 10pm). When I did complain about the 3am party, they did speak to the people involved and it was quieter the next night. The site could have done with patrolling to check for people quietening done after hours as this is billed as a family and couples site only, but it felt a bit more like a festival than a quiet site. Also dogs were not required to be on leads and would wander around the field.

Cleaning - The toilet/shower cubicles were cleaned once a day in the morning, but that was all. There were 4 toilets for the whole tent field and they were in constant use. With covid, I had expected there to be more cleaning, or at least materials for you to clean the toilet before use. There were none - there was watered down handgel on the door by the toilets, but it was very watery and didn't smell of any alcohol and had bubbles in it, so I question whether it was appropriate. I bought my own antibac wipes and cleaned the toilet before use, but they did get in a bad state. The shower is in the same room as the toilet and one mop (no cleaning fluid) was given for people to mop the room after use, but it basically wiped pee, shower water and detritus over the whole area and didn't clean it. They remained in that state until the next morning. The doors on the toilets were self shutting and could not have been propped open, in light of covid and the requirement for ventilation, this should have been looked at as the moist environment was a perfect breeding ground for germs. It also meant the toilet/shower cubicle was usually wet and didn't dry out, the small extractor fans couldn't cope.

The pitches were also on a slight hill but this bothered us less. If you got a pitch in the caravan field then they were more level and they seemed better spaced.
