Richard G. May 2024

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Visited for one night. Lovely clean site, on-site cafe/shop. Clean toilets. Helpful and welcoming hosts. Nice playing field for children to play in as the part for tents was small (12 pitches, I think) so having a separate field for them to play in was very nice. This is a lovely site that has a countryside feel to it, but isn't in the middle of nowhere! Will be going back as it's nice and local to me.

Disliked: My pitch wasn't completely level - wasn't horrendous, but was a bit of a learning experience for me. Will pitch my tent better next time.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review we are glad you enjoyed your stay with us see you again we hope.

Excellent site. Will be using them again.

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked: This was the second time that we've stayed here and already booked for next year. We love this campsite. The kids are happy playing (even though there was a bouncy castle there this time.) Hoist/ owner is so welcoming and friendly. The chips in the little cafe are lovely. Toilets clean and showers were warm. We can't wait to come back.

Local attractions

A castle visit is a must, but which will it be? Caerphilly Castle (25 minutes’ drive) is a medieval castle, Castell Coch (35 minutes) is from the 19th century and Cardiff Castle (45 minutes) has over 2000 years of history for you to uncover. With the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park around 20 minutes’ drive to the north, mountain hikes are always an option. Otherwise, the Sirhowy Valley Walk (around 15 minutes) is certainly spectacular. The long-distance hike has miles of walking over farms, woodlands and mountain ridges in the Valleys landscapes, beginning or ending in Newport. You may want to learn a little about the history of Welsh mining while you’re around these parts. If so, the Big Pit National Coal Museum (25 minutes) runs tours around a Welsh coal mine. Perhaps a visit to a cider farm too? Hallets Cider (15 minutes) runs cider tasting tours and food pairing sessions.
