Liked: We only stayed one night, and it rained through the night 🤣 but we had such a lovely stay.
The sore was so beautiful, clean and well kept. Everything was well explained before hand and with young children I felt really safe.
Disliked: Nothing

Liked: Lovely site.
Convenient for Cardiff, but quiet and in some lovely countryside. Pitches were perfectly kept and the facilities were very good. There is even and EV charging point (PodPoint). Easy access in all ways.

Winter powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked: We needed to stay somewhere close to Cardiff. The site was ideal close enough to Wenvoe where the Wenvoe Arms provided us with fantastic food, great choice of beer and excellent service. The site was on a farm, small and compact with sufficient hard spaces available. Water and waste areas were close to hand, Toilets and showers were clean and in good working order, also sufficient bins for any rubbish. Plenty of lights at night if you needed to use the toilets. We will definitely stay here again, ideal for us when we need to be in Cardiff early morning 🏴
Disliked: Make sure you have a high vis if you’re thinking of walking to and from the pub at night 15mins walk one way.
