A little gem of a site, right next to the river.
Powered grass tent campsite (no pets)
Liked The site is so calm and quiet, and makes for a very relaxing stay. The camping dell is absolutely perfect; right next to the river and had only a handful of pitches. The toilets and showers were spotlessly clean and modern. The owners were so helpful and friendly, they made us feel at home.
Site is a ten minute walk along walking paths, not along the road like a lot of camp sites, to the local pub. It could do with a bit of a spruce up, but was OK for a quick pint to get us out for an hour.
We had a lovely meal at the Wynnstay Arms, which is a ten minute drive away, so if recommend that.
Our kids are a little older (12), so enjoyed the more laid back vibe of this site. They loved playing in the stream, skimming Stones and building dams. There's no play park for younger children, and no space for ball games etc, so worth bearing in mind if you have younger children. That wasn't a problem for us, and actually made it a more relaxing break. We lived getting up in the morning and having a brew next to the river, with only the sound of the water, birds and sheep... Oh, and the donkey up the road that would pipe up every now and again. 😂

Powered grass campervan campsite (small)
Liked A great campsite run by lovely, helpful people. The facilities were always very clean and the setting was perfect with mountainous views and a peaceful river (which we even went for a little dip in one morning). It is possible to walk directly from the campsite and there is also a small village with a pub in walking distance (though bear in mind there is no shop) Would definitely recommended a stay here.

Lovely place gorgeous views. Noisy neighbours!
Powered cement/asphalt campervan campsite (small)
Liked The site was spotless and pretty. The mobile homes looked lovely as they were raised up at different heights and looked nice. The stream was lovely that I was parked next to.
Disliked My spot didn’t have slabs so was slightly sloping. The neighbours had a radio on and were strumming a guitar and had a small dog who yapped too much. I had gone to have a peaceful relaxing stay.
I decided to go to the pub for tea unfortunately there was only 1 in the village and it was quite gloomy and too many flies outside so I didn’t eat there.

Great site, very clean and tidy, nicely kept pitches
Powered cement/asphalt campervan campsite (small)
Liked Gorgeous campsite with fabulous views! We had a pitch next to the river which was lovely, also had a great view of the mountains. Very helpful and friendly staff who keep the site immaculately clean and tidy. Shower and toilet facilities were perfect with individual cubicles with both a shower and toilet inside for ultimate privacy. There are dvd's, books and games for guests to use which was a nice touch. Will definitely be back when we return to Wales in the future.

Liked Lovely clean site, with great customer service! Facilities were regularly cleaned and never had to wait to use them.
Disliked There are only around 5 pitches for camping so it can be a tight squeeze!
WiFi was cutting out at times.
