David F.

Electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked Good size of pitches which are pretty level. Good toilet and shower facilities. Lovely play areas for young children. Nice walks from the site. Cafe on site has good choices on menu, and staff were really friendly and pleasant.

Disliked To access the gents toilet/shower area you open the door outward into the entrance area that is used by both male and female campers. If any man or boy is using the urinals they're in full view of anyone standing outside the door.

Local attractions

Head about half an hour west of the site into the Brecon Beacons and get to the national park’s waterfall country, home to falls with nicely tongue-tripping names like Sgwd Gwladys (30 minutes’ drive) and Sgwd Yr Eira (35 minutes). The former’s just the place for wild swimming in a deep plunge pool surrounded by woodland... Drier times are to be had at stately piles about 35 minutes south of the park, including Caerphilly Castle with its massive moat and towers or smaller Castell Coch reconstructed in a fairytale style in the Victorian era by well-known architect William Burgess. Cardiff (40 minutes away) also has its own castle with renovations by Burgess – head to this swish city for cool concerts and sports events at the Principality Stadium or just check out the boutiques in the Victorian shopping arcades. For another architecturally intriguing manor home from a different era, the Tudor-style Tredegar House is 45 minutes away from the park.
