Lovely campsite for short stay

Me and my partner went away for two nights, and found it very easy to book and check in. Everything was clean and tidy, two onsite toilets were useful. All guests were respectful of quiet time. Owners seemed friendly enough, little interaction with them however that was perfect for us. Would stay again. Thank you very much :)

Good

We arrived at the campsite and had to go find the owner. When we found the owner, we introduced ourselves and said we will be here for 2 nights. We were told to read the sign and were told where the toilet, shower and wheelbarrow was. We was then left to our own devices. There was no washing up sink so we had to baby wipe the cutlery and plates. There was no communication as such with the owner and was very much left to our own devices. The toilet and shower was clean and kept on top of, but there could be better facilities with adding a washing up sink facility. Also, the camping field is next to a used road, where you can hear vehicles going up and down quite a lot. Overall, we had a nice break away but there could have been improvements :)

Site's response

Hi Georgia, glad to hear you had a good break. We're a self check in campsite and all in the info is on the board where you park, sorry if this wasn't clear, we'll look into that. We're a very small site, so we know who to expect for arrivals/departures each day. Anthony said hi you to you and explained all you needed to know in a perfectly friendly way - there's not a lot to it really. Campers expect to be left to their own devices in our experience but we're around and happy to help when needed. All the best, Louise & Anthony.

Okay, not great for camping

We have been camping around Wales and found this place to stay. We arrived the first night and wasn't greeted by the owners. The camping meadow was big but we were the only ones pitching that night. There was no hot water for washing up, which made cooking and eating difficult. After asking (on the phone) the owners gave no help and suggested we just "boiled the water" - very hard and expensive seen as we were using a small stove and gas cylinders. The campsite had a really nice toilet and shower which made up for some of the negatives. Close to Aberystwyth with short drive or nice train ride in (every hour from 5 min walk station). The local town of Bow Street is nice, with a friendly pub the Black Welsh which serves Thai food. We weren't planning on eating there, as we were are camping on a budget, but seeing as there were no facilities to wash up after cooking, we did. It's an okay place. I wouldn't come back or strongly recommend for others, but however I'm sure the owners will read this and implement some changes to be more caught up with other camping sites found across the beautiful Welsh country.
