From the manager: Thank you for your review. Yes we are next to a main road as you know. There are 2 toilets and hot water. Please don't tell lies. You dumped your rubbish on my site. I have you on cctv. 16 people? Did you count everyone? Again don't tell lies. We are relived you won't be returning, meanwhile I'll dispose our your brown stained wetwipes that you dumped. I have reported you to pitch up and the Welsh authorities. Kind regards Tommy Gee
Great place to say and explore further into Wales.

Liked: Location is great, lots of access. Didn't get to use the pub this visit as they had closed by the time we go there but during our last stay the pub is warm and welcoming. Shower block is lovely, actually gets hot! We were the only camper this weekend but I can imagine it gets quiet busy as there is only one shower.
Disliked: Nothing

Liked: Hard standing site was easy to access. Only one shower and one toilet on site but other toilets available when pub is open. Food was very good, staff very welcoming and friendly. Had a lovely walk along the Montgomery Canal into Welshpool
Disliked: You get used to the noise of traffic on the nearby road and the odd train passing by.

Liked: The food in the pub was amazing.
Disliked: The drinking water tap was indoors, and while I was filling my tank, my hose came off the tap. Unfortunately water went all over the floor. We looked for a mop to clean the spill up, but couldn't find one, and when the owner came to clean up, we offered to do it, as it was our fault, my wife was met with a bad attitude. I did try and apologise, but it seemed to fall on closed ears.
