Heritage Coast Campsite

Понравилось: Everything the owners and staff were really friendly the whole site was kept clean and tidy facilities were cleaned regularly. Food was very good too.

Понравилось: Very quiet and tranquil site with lovely surroundings. Phillipa is a very attentive, welcoming host. The toilet/shower blocks were very clean. Good restaurant/cafe onsite with small bar as well. Missed the entrance on the first two passes as expecting to see a larger campsite sign at the entrance rather than a smallish white sign. Rugged beach nearby about a 25 minute walk through nature reserve. Rocky path unsuitable for wheelchairs, mobility scooters and pushchairs and those with less mobility. If you do make it, then the rock strata is spectacular. Internet OK but mobile phone signal not very good.

Не понравилось: Bit of a faff having to leave shower cubicle to insert 50p into the shower meter.

Понравилось: There absolutely nothing not to like. I particulary liked the very friendly and chatty owners ethos to employ locals, use only locally sourced products and the fact that they are not in this business to extract every last penny. They live next door to the site and just want a comfortable living without over development of the site which by the way is gorgeous and just a few fields up from the wonderful Vale of Glamorgan coast line. In fact the lane to the site leads on down through an ancient coastal woodland to a tiny little known about secluded beach. The site is absolutely spotless and has a brilliant little on site cafe and licenced bar with great cooked breakfasts and drinks all at resonable prices. Pitch prices are also very reasonable. Oh and there is a great local village pub just up the road again with very friendly chatty locals.

Не понравилось: Nothing at all.

Понравилось: Wonderful area which we hadnt visited before, reminded me a lot of the Gower with the countryside. Not too far from the beach although we didn't visit it ourselves as we had days out planned. 30min drive to Cardiff Centre and 30min drive to Barry Island beach and amusement Park so even though the campsite was in a rural area it was still close enough to visit other places if needs be. If you don't fancy cooking you have takeaways etc in Llantwit Major which is a 10-15min drive (Big Sam's was a big thumbs up for us) Theres a lovely looking pub a stones throw away from the campsite (not sure if they do food) and also the site itself has a bar area and a lovely outdoor seating area. The campsite itself was immaculate, don't listen to the negative review.....(there's always one 🤣) It is well kept and looked after, not a piece of rubbish in sight as someone comes around regularly to check this, and sometimes take your bins for you too as they are very active with their recycling. There's 2 fields, one as you drive in which is a gravel car track with grass tent areas either side some electric some not, water taps all in close proximity too. And then if you go to the bottom of the gravel track there's a big field to allow for more non electric pitches. They've even had portaloos installed in the bottom field so that you don't have to walk all the way to the top to go to the loo (very thoughtful) and as far as portaloos go these were also kept clean and fully stocked with paper and sanitiser. All the staff are friendly and welcoming, highly recommend a breakfast at the main building where the bar is, they serve till 11am and have options for kids like pancakes and waffles, veggie breakfasts and a traditional fry up. There's a clean utility room where you can wash your dishes and even use a communal freezer.....again very thoughtful! Lots of little bits that you wouldn't expect but were available anyway like little shampoos in the shower and even a charging station where you can pay £1 to charge your phones (for the desperate teenagers 🤣) things I've never seen available at other campsites. *NOTE* You can hire big firepits for £4 a night which I highly recommend and the wood is £7 a bag which lasted us 2 nights but depends how much you use it. Your not allowed to take your own wood but the fire pit comes with a griddle too so it does double up as a barbecue which is handy and then you can enjoy some marshmallows around the fire for dessert 😍 If you prebook your fireplace and wood (get firelighters too) it will be there at your pitch when you arrive. All very efficient

Не понравилось: The ONLY thing that I didnt like and this is me being picky......the shower you have to pay 50p for 5 minutes which is fine but you don't know when your time is going to run out so let's say my conditioner doubled up as a leave in conditioner this weekend....on a plus my hairs lovely and smooth 🤣 When I was leaving I spoke to the owner to say thank you for everything and just mentioned the shower and she is aware of the issue and they are looking to upgrade soon so that's all good 👍 Again just me being picky or maybe a thought for the future.... It's a very dog friendly site, you can even take the dog inside the cafe but all dogs MUST be kept on a lead at all times....might be an idea to have a fenced off area or another field where dogs can run off lead at the owners risk? I'm not sure how that would work insurance wise and then maybe people may ruin that idea by not cleaning up after their dogs mess but a thought none the less 😊

От менеджера: Thank you, delighted to hear you enjoyed your visit and the local area. We agree your comments re showers and dogs, the showers will be upgraded over the winter. We welcome well behaved dogs and the condition is they are kept on a lead at all times while on site, unfortunately the minority spoil it for the majority. Thank you for your kind comments, we do hope to see you in the future.

Понравилось: Very nice site good shower and cafe also freezer for the ice packs if needed. lovely walks along the coast and over farm land. Lots of space to camp

Не понравилось: It was a 10 min drive to the nearest shop so take all you need if you don't want to drive off site

От менеджера: Thank you, lovely to hear you enjoyed the site and we look forward to welcoming you again soon.

Понравилось: Very friendly staff. Very clean facilities. Cafe onsite for breakfast, drinks and maybe evening meals (fish and chips I think at the weekend). Wifi was in the cafe area. Pub a few minutes' walk from the camp with a range of ciders and ales on tap. Great walks down to the beach with circular routes back to the camp possible. Stunning views along the cliff tops. Campfires available to hire along with logs at reasonable prices.

Не понравилось: Having to pay 50p for a shower that was alternating between freezing and boiling hot. There was no 4G in the fields but then again that could be a positive! 4 portaloos in the far field which could have done with changing more often.

Понравилось: Pub very close Walking on the beach nearby Beautiful scenery

Не понравилось: Poor showers (you'll get cold water if there's someone else showering at the same time) & you need to pay 50p for the privilege,. There are only 2 toilets and 2 showers for men and 2 for ladies +1 disabled. The portaloos in the field are really smelly. There's no phone signal and WiFi only near reception. The cafe/bar is very hit and miss, and expensive.

От менеджера: Naturally we are sorry to read your comments, particularly in respect of the 'Smelly Toilets' which we absolutely dispute, the portable toilets were emptied, sanitiser and deep cleaned by the hire company prior to your arrival, our groundsman checks and cleans am and pm daily, we would ask anyone reading this review to read others visitor reviews. Surprised also to read the comments regrading our Bar and Cafe being ' hit and miss', as we have numerous positive reviews and have just been awarded a Certificate of Excellence by Food Guru 2022, That said, we aim to offer clients a consistent service, unfortunately in this case we did not succeed.
