Non-electric grass and gravel touring pitch
Liked: This pop up touring pitch does what it says on the tin.
We just stayed one night to break our journey. We parked up and walked our dog along the Montgomery canal (3 mins away)
The staff in the pub were lovely and friendly. The food was delicious (we had tapas) the toilets were available to use all night in the pub and they had a shower available. Which I used the next morning. Although I had to hold it as the catch was broken, but it was warm and you didn’t have to pay for it.
Bargain for £18 for the night.
Would definitely use as a stopover again. Thanks for your hospitality 🙂

Non-electric grass and gravel touring pitch
Liked: no
Disliked: We booked on line for that evening but on arrival the site was not as we thought.
There was a row of probably stored caravans and a few old vehicles on the grass which was long. All felt uncared for and not a place we wanted to stay.

From the manager: hello (anonymous)
a couple of things we would like to pick up on in your "review"
1) our caravans are not "stored" they are enjoyed by people who come to visit us often, contrary to what you saw.
2) a few old vehicles? more like customers who have parked on the grass far away and a safe distance away from your pitch.
I would also like to point out that we value constructive feedback, but to say you enjoyed nothing about your stay? a peaceful and safe place to sleep? 24 access to clean showers and toilet area? for a reasonable price?
we sincerely hope you find a site that meets your standards.
A perfect camping experience
