Electric optional hardstanding campervan pitch (maximum 6 metres)
Liked: Greeting immediately and everything explained. We arrived on a Sunday for just one night and had the whole of the river side field to ourselves. Gorgeous setting next to the river, a quiet site for us but l imagine it gets fully booked peak season. Showers included are red hot and clean. We had a short but lovely stay. Wouldn’t hesitate to go back and highly recommend. The grounds are beautifully kept and it feels like you’ve arrived on holiday. Worth the money.
Disliked: Restaurant closed early so missed Sunday lunch but sure its opening hours reflected the number of people on site.

2 bedroom cabin (family)
Liked: Everything! We stayed in one of the cabans, it was stunning. Every single member of staff we met were really friendly. The weather wasn’t the best so we were grateful for the games room. The site is super clean and really well kept. Def my new fave place and our cockapoo Wilbur was spoilt rotten by the staff! We had everything we needed and more thankyou to Catherine and Adam and all the team we will def be back!
Disliked: Going home!
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Hi Sarah
Thankyou so much for your lovely review.I know its wrong to have a favourite glamping dog but Wilbur is definitely our face of Caban Derw! I maybe cockapoo biased but we all thought he was gorgeous.
So glad you enjoyed your glamping stay- it was the right place to be over a wet Easter with the fire going & the hot tub
We look forwards to welcoming you again soon!
Kind regards
Catherine, Adam, Sue & Lisa

Liked: The toilets were nice, the site was very tidy and neat, the staff were friendly and facilities such as games room and shop were good, liked the fact that we could park the car on our pitch by the tent

From the manager: Thankyou for your review Saffron- it was lovely to meet you both- such a shame about the weather!
Yes we thought you would like pitch 8 where it has a little parking space, there's only 2 tent pitches where you can do that on site so seemed a good idea in the wet weather! Hope to see you again
Kind regards
