Hi,

New to this site, and really need some suggestions for a Seasonal Pitch near Saundersfoot/Tenby with atleast electric hook-up for next year.  Also would like to keep the awning up for the season if possible.  We have 2 children so ideally would like some sort of play area and somewhere for my daughter to ride her bike.  I have been searching for weeks, and either sites are fully booked or do not offer seasonal pitches.  Please help. Many thanks.

Welcome to the site!

We just vacated Wood Office Caravan Park in Cold Blow near Narberth. (its about 5 minutes further north of Folly Farm). Its a lovely site, with loads of room for bike riding and a little park for the kids. New shower block. They have loads of room. I think this year they're charging £1100 for the season plus £2.50 per night leccy. And you have to pack everything away when you go home, which is why people buy those green plastic storage shed things from B&Q or Argos.  I honestly wouldn't leave an awning up while away, even if I could - its not called Cold Blow for nothing. 

I was there for 4 years, its extremely safe for kids, quiet site, but I had issues in the end with the owners. 6amps max leccy, which isn't enough. They kept dropping the ampage over the years.  She likes to be picky about things but I learned to keep my head down and sent the kids down to the shop with the leccy money!

I'm on Gower Villa Touring Park now, in Clynderwen (there are reviews on here). Its a lot smaller but the owners are a lot friendlier and its in the middle of a village. You can leave the awning up all year (porch early and late season). I know they're full at the moment, but it might be worth giving them a ring to see if they can hold on to your name in case anyone moves off.  Ironically, our only gripe is that there aren't many kids for our 2 girls to play with, its mainly older people, but that just makes us go to the beach more instead of lazing around.  There are a few boys. They have a small play area though, in the tent field.  They're cheaper and don't charge for leccy. They also have wi-fi, which is good. 

Let me know how you get on.  Oh, there's another one, Moreton Farm on the way into Saundersfoot. Nice site, we just called into look at it last year. Don't take dogs. Its dearer, as they all are on that stretch, because you can walk down into Saundersfoot. They summed it up really - they never know how many pitches they'll have next year until the end of the season when people tell them they're moving. Same for all the sites.  Grondre Vale is another one. Just outside Clynderwen, its more commercialised with a pool and a clubhouse (I think). Two 'vanners went there from the other site this year.

Best of luck! 

I know how hard it is to find a site, I came upon Gower Villa by chance in January.  Pantglas is another one, and there's one in Tavernspite, who's name escapes me.  Little Kings is another one.....

Hiya,

Thanks very much for the reply, we have put our names on most of the sites you recommended above, so fingers crossed we should know if we can get in somewhere by the end of the year - problem is I am too impatient and like to be organised! ha ha.  We particularly liked the Gower Villa Touring Park and had previously added our name to their waiting list, so your daughters may have someone to play with as we have a girl and a boy.

Thanks again for the help and suggestions.

No prob. You really shouldn't have a problem with Wood Office. Stone Pitt is another one, again on the same road as Folly Farm, but just below it. The village is Begelly.  Its a minefield out there, loads of sites, but its normally word of mouth to find one.  Buttyland in Manorbier is another one....

Oh, tell you whatelse I did - I google-earthed Gower Villa before going down, gives you an idea of the situation of it. And Grondre Vale.  You can whizz down to Wood Office too, the pictures are about 3 years out of date so if you look at it, the huge triangular field now has vans around the perimeter and a new shower block. You can't really miss it, Cold Blow is a very small village.

Best of luck!
