Motorhome - Grass Pitches (Optional Electric)Jul 2024

We loved our stay here! The best views ever, wonderful location and Margaret was a delight! Thank you so much! We have even offered to caretaker it if ever she needed someone, haha! Wonderful riverside dog walk with the quirky Bridge Inn pub down the road (Margaret will know why I say quirky!)

Excellent stopover

VW-Type Campervan - Grass Pitches (Optional Electric)Jun 2024

We stayed here for one night whilst touring Pembrokeshire in our campervan. We booked a plot with hook-up. It was a very well maintained site with fantastic views, and very quiet. Check in was easy & the facilities were very clean. For us a big bonus was the designated dog walking area! Would highly recommend this site.

Gorgeous campsite
