Cardigan Bay Camping

Tyckte om: Choice of where to pitch tent.

Tyckte inte om: Rundown, no signage, deserted, no footpath to the beach as described. Expensive for a couple to stay.

Från föreståndaren: Good morning, sorry to hear you had such a bad experience. There are signs. We have used old surfboards for this point to the toilets and they point to the field. We also send out a what3words to the location and a site map which I have checked you did get sent. As for the site being rundown, this is a very basic site in a very windy coastal environment so within a week things can look windblown as for cutting grass. For example, if that is something you were thinking about it is a working farm and we only cut the grass by using the animals. This is not a groomed site. However, the location linked with views I would think it's very hard to give such a low mark.

Tyckte om: Fantastic location with a wonderful view and really like the yurt set-up it's like a two family settlement. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need, fridge, stove, cutlery, plates, pots & pans etc.

Tyckte inte om: The toilets were the worst I've seen anywhere. Picture a chasm that drops as far as the distance from your upstairs bedroom window full of other people's waste, flies and toilet roll hanging off various ledges of the chasm wall with a toilet seat ontop. We are not fans of compost toilets but even proper compost toilets are a luxury compared to this horror. It's a real shame as the rest was ideal.

Tyckte om: Sir Benfro/Pembrokeshire and Ceredigion are very beautiful parts of the world.

Tyckte inte om: We (3 families) had booked to stay in the bunk house for 2 nights on 6th of May bank holiday weekend. When we arrived we were pretty shocked by the bunkhouse. It was very different to the photo on the website and it was very run down including holes in the walls in one of the bedrooms and no sides on 2 of the corner bunk beds. There was only a bolt lock on the front door (no key or anything) so there was no way to lock and keep the property secure if we went out. The area surrounding the bunkhouse was run down and over grown. There was barbed wire in weeds near the bunkhouse, an old bath and a pair of pants next to it. There were open sheds with catering equipment (including knives), farm machinery and an axe. There was also a slurry pit (which was only partially secure). The host arrived about three quarters of an hour after we arrived. I was a bit upset about the conditions at the property and proceeded to show him the holes in the bedroom wall. The host thanked me for bringing the holes to his attention and later told us we could use a gas patio heater inside the property because (he joked) there was plenty of ventilation. The host told us that he didn’t live on site, it was unmanned. He also said that there was no mains water. The water was untreated and from a borehole. He said it would be our choice whether or not to drink it. The children had already drunk from it. As we were not told prior to arriving we hadn’t known to bring drinking water with us. The location is remote and nowhere for miles to buy water. We only felt able to stay for one night. It just wasn’t suitable for families to stay there. The kids naturally wanted to wander around this new environment and seeing as the sheds were open it was dangerous. It was bank holiday weekend and other accommodation in the area was unavailable so our trip was cut short. Luckily, we had only paid for one night at £10 a head (£120). We have asked the host for a refund twice but he has refused. He has also refused when contacted by Pitch Up. He says the accommodation is ‘basic’ and that’s why it’s £10 a head. He has since said it’s like ‘indoor camping’. The truth is, I’ve stayed in quite a few bunkhouses and I’m fine with basic, no frills accommodation. I also camp every year; the conditions in a tent are much more desirable compared to this bunkhouse and other bunkhouses I’ve stayed have been clean, basic and without holes in the walls etc. Staying in this bunkhouse was not like other bunkhouses I’ve stayed in. This was not ‘basic’ and ‘no frills’, it was run down and dangerous. The host did not make us aware of the conditions before we arrived. If he had then it would have been fair enough. He has been unwilling to accept any criticism and he has been pretty condescending in his replies. I expect his reply to this post will be equally condescending but if you have kids I strongly recommend you don’t book this property. Diolch/Thanks for your time.

Från föreståndaren: It is set at a budget price, and the way a bunk house/ camping barn is, hence the name and price. less than a tent pitch! The insulting comments about Rusty tractors are actually the farm tractors and being by the sea with out having millions to spend on new ones they will be rusty! PARENTAL CONTROL ! would be a good idea to work on, as you were not asked to climb in to every shed, search for every key and generally disrespect everything.. Your cleverly taken photo of the barbed wire was near fence posts if I am not wrong the other side of the yard due to us doing fencing. The areas I told you not to go you decided to allow them to WHY? DITO on taking the criticism, And you did not actually pay for the whole group also.

Tyckte om: Incredible value! The kitchenette and bathroom areas were the best I’ve seen for a camping experience! The yurt was really spacious and the log burner was a lovely touch! Highly recommend- there was nothing we would have changed!

Tyckte om: The view from the camping field

Tyckte inte om: The camping field grass hadn’t been cut. The toilets were not clean & didn’t lock. The shower was basic at best.
