A aimé : Clean, tidy, everything was so easily accessible. Shower blocks and toilets were very clean and well kept! Plenty of electric hook ups. Everyone was respectful for each other's space. Check in was smooth and easy! Had a fab time!

A aimé : Lovely views, good pitches for the tent, nice people.

N'a pas aimé: Very noisy until 10:30pm, very difficult to get the kids to sleep at a decent time. There was screaming and shouting non stop until then. The play area for the kids is very run down, slide has been taken off. The toilets and showers were ok but could be cleaner. Would maybe return with friends but definitely not with kids because of the noise.

A aimé : A couple of friends booked with our children - this is the second year in a row we have all stayed here, and yet again has been a lovely stay. The owners kindly ensured that our pitches were all together which we really liked. The site is clean and tidy, very safe for young kids and is nice and quiet. The kids all missed the slide from the park that used to be there, but that didn’t stop them playing in the park all day and evening (my youngest said the park was his favourite part of the trip!). They also loved being able to plane spot. It’s a lovely little site and we will be back again next summer for sure.

A aimé : Great base for exploring Cardiff and the surrounding towns and villages. The site itself is quiet and peaceful. The toilet and shower facilities are clean and we liked the fact that all guests muck in and clean up after themselves, as well as the owners giving everything a good going over every morning.
Our 10 yr old had plenty of space for football, and it felt very safe. Owners were lovely too.

N'a pas aimé: Nothing to do with the actual site but the surrounding roads are very narrow and it can be a bit hairy meeting somebody coming the opposite way! Especially towing a caravan!

A aimé : Sorry not much to like.

N'a pas aimé: Nothing on site only toilets and showers, not very nice. In the middle of nowhere. Need extra transport to go anywhere. Nowhere near Barri. This site definitely not for us . If all you want is to stay on site doing nothing going nowhere, then this could be for you. We only stayed one night!!!

Réponse du gestionnaire : Sorry we were not the correct site for you. Our details do state that we are a countryside location some miles from the nearby towns of Llantwit Major and Cowbridge. With the nearest pub being a 20min walk.

Unfortunately there are no bus routes either as they have all been cancelled by our local council.

Toilet and showers "not very nice" - this does not match with all our other recent reviews so sorry you didn't like them :-(


If you are arriving in a Motorhome it is wise to have some other form of transport available or you will need to take the Motorhome with you and park up. Llantwit Major has a large free car park that will take motorhomes and give you access to the local train/bus station that has regular routes to Barry and Cardiff.

A aimé : I liked the pitch space and being right near the toilets and showers.
The showers were excellent, spacious and clean and there was even a hairdryer.
The site was quiet and lots of dog walking areas. Great for beaches.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you. Glad you enjoyed your stay

A aimé : Lovely location, near to Barry Island where we wanted to visit as avid Gavin and Stacey fans. The toilet and shower block was very clean and I could see it being cleaned in the mornings by the lady who ran the site. She was very friendly and approachable. There were also signs in the toilet block with useful information including taxi numbers, local cafes and which takeaway delivered to the camp site. The block also had a washing machine annd tumble drier, as well as a fridge. Overall very happy with our stay.
