This is a quiet site, with good views over the Dyfi valley looking out to the coast. I had a hardstanding fully serviced pitch, which was a good size as the site is tiered on the hillside. It stayed in good condition, surrounding grass included, despite fairly heavy rain. The pitches are well spaced out with each having it's own picnic bench. Good sized shower cubicles with plenty of hot water. Machynlleth is 5 mins away, with rail links both up and down the coast if you fancy a break from driving.
Quiet and lovely views
