Polubione Great place and lovely space. The showers/toilets/dishwashing facilities were fab. Lovely and clean.
Jill came to greet and check on me as I arrived when they were not available. Super lovely and friendly hosts. Enjoyed my stay here, was a peaceful night and felt very safe.

Polubione A really beautiful, tranquil location - just a little road noise but quiet by late evening. A path leads down to the babbling river below the campsite.
Big pitches & spotless facilities. We chose a weekday night with just one other campervan staying. Very helpful owners, Vernon gave us all the information we needed and his wife was just a joy!
Would love to return with my husband for a walking weekend as there are so many woodland tracks from the camp site.

Polubione Nice, simple and well maintained campsite with lots of luscious green grass, in a charming and peaceful location. Lovely friendly owners, and spacious facilities, and not too many plots which is right up our street!

We had the patio pitch which we sadly didnt fully utilise as we were so busy exploring the area but it was still lovely to know we had the space if we needed it.

There isnt much for children to do but as we go away to spend time with them, thats a plus for us!

Niepolubione There are only 3 sit down toilets and 2 of these are also the (only 2) shower rooms. This means the morning 'rush' is a challenge as showerers wait for toilet users and vice versa, and there forms a queue by the facilities block... as well as the unavoidable smells if youre showering after a toileter!

There is only one washing up sink which wasnt a problem on this occasion but could foresee a wait at busy times!

Od administratora: Thank you for the review, its always interesting and important to hear what our guests thought of us. The only way we can improve is to get feed back, but not always are we able to do anything about our lack of facilities, but we do try to make them as good an experience as possible.

On Pitch Up, we try to give as much information as possible so that you know what to expect from us and therefore not be disappointed. We are a quiet basic site, away from the hustle and bustle, in a beautiful location with no facilities for children although they are welcome.

We cannot do anything about our toilet and shower facilities, they are what they are and within the recommended guidelines set down by the Council and the Caravan Club - there are sufficient toilets and showers for the number of pitches we have - we cannot provide
'en suite' facilities to our Patio Pitch I'm afraid. It is very common on campsites that you have to wait for a shower or a toilet to become available, its all part of the experience.

Regarding the washing up sink.... you just have to be patient and wait, as you had a campervan, you probably had facilities within your van for washing up.
Thank you for the review, its much appreciated, it also gives other people who are looking to book a clearer picture of what we are. We do hope you will try us again.

Polubione Spacious pitches, quite, and clean.

Polubione Lovely quiet spot next to the river with easy access to nearby places of interest. This site is very much geared up for the comfort of campers! Fabulous facilities kept lovely and clean and nicely decorated with thoughtful touches like beautiful paintings, shelves and plenty of hooks, even a stool in the shower! Site in general is immaculately maintained, well equipped and pitches are spacious, all pretty much equal in distance to the facilities. Washing up area with very useful fridge/freezer for ice packs etc. Well done all round!

Niepolubione Nothing

Polubione It was a really quiet site with a river running down the side. It was really dark so take a torch for late night toilet visits.

Od administratora: We are really disappointed that you were not 100% happy staying on our site, which is surprising really, as 99% of people have said they do enjoy it. You would recommend to friends, but wouldn't stay again yourselves, that's a bit odd!

There are 3 toilets, 2 showers and 2 urinals. I was not aware that the horsebox shower/toilet was locked, it was only a case of turning a knob to open it or coming to tell us and we would have opened it straight away. As for cleanliness, I am offended by that, we pride ourselves in its cleanliness and 100% of all reviews say how clean the facilities are and how great the showers are. As for you saying we have poor customer services, I'm also offended by that, as I was there to greet you on arrival, we had a nice chat, I showed you where everything was etc. but you didn't say what I did wrong?
As for the river, you obviously don't know about Spate rivers - they rise and fall very quickly with the amount of rainfall - it will be very shallow and a beach is revealed as in the photos in dry weather, but when there is a lot of rain, like there has been this week when you stayed, the river fills up and the beach goes. We cannot do anything about Nature I'm afraid; besides, it is now Autumn, and we get a lo of rain, it is Wales after all. However, it has been a fantastic summer, very dry and the river had been at its lowest for more than a decade this year, and our campers have enjoyed the low river and its beach for swimming and messing about.
As for location/value for money/facilities, you will have seen all this on PitchUp when you booked, I'm wondering why you booked at all, then saw fit to complain after you paid the money, but location..... did you not look on a map to see where we were? (its a fantastic location) yet you still booked????
Thank you for the poor review, maybe you should read the information on sites and communicate with the site owners, you might have a nicer time and will not be disappointed with your stay.
