The kids have had a traditional full on holiday no tv no computer games just good old get outside and play with your friends. They played in the lake, walked miles up the hills visited the nearby villages. Kids took part in a charity fun run and loved it.
We sat outside every night beside the camp fire and chatted. Showers kept clean staff so friendly we are arranging a toddler group swap! They even fixed the broken loo at about 10pm (with a very strange tool kit!).
Little sensible things in the campers room like mobile phone charging area, fridge and freezers for campers to use.
Great weekend spent in Fforest Fields. Can only echo the positive comments here. When we arrived the owners were very helpful and directed us to a quiet pitch. As a childless couple it was great to see kids out all playing rounders together, from a distance, while we could enjoy the peace and quiet and sit outside til later without worrying about families in nearby tents.
This place definitely has an old fashioned feel to it. Everyone friendly and relaxed. Getting superb bacon and eggs from the shop when the owners are not about and putting money in the honesty box was so convenient.
This campsite is in a great location, walks and bike rides info are available from the information hut. The hill is tough to cycle up, but there are some great views and routes from the top.
We went to the Indian restaurant (Bilash) in Builth Wells for a meal which I'd recommend.
The shower / toilet blocks are a little tired looking, and only 3 of each meant queues at peak times. Also they're fairly small, so not much space for getting changed. However after returning very wet, cold and tired after getting caught out by the mother of all showers when trying to cycle up the aforementioned hill, the guaranteed hot water from an electric shower was very much appreciated.
We have just returned from a wonderful week at Fforest Fields. It was our first stay here - it was absolutely lovely.
Our pitch was in the field overlooking the sports field. The views were beautiful. In one direction was the valley, opposite was the forest on the hill, and the other had sheep on the hill. It was so peaceful, great to just relax with a cuppa admiring the surroundings. From my pitch, I watched red kites swooping down from the forest - when the tractor was mowing the field.
This field had hookup pitches on one edge, with non-hookup (mainly tents in the middle). There was loads of space for the children to play badminton, footie etc, alongside their pitch. In addition there was a huge field for kite flying etc.
The supplies from the honesty fridge were delicious, especially the mega thick bacon slices in rolls from the freezer - yum!
The showers were excellent. Temperature controlled, clean & hot. The loos & sinks were always very clean. There is a mop on hand & cloths if needed. I was surprised by other reviews - the facilities are not ultra modern, but perfectly clean and adequate. I loved peeking at the baby swallows who were nesting in the porch - every time I visited the ladies loo :)
We had a campfire a couple of times during our stay - and watched the meteor showers. I have never seen so many stars. It's the first time I've seen the milky way (light pollution in Surrey) It was brilliant.
Television reception is a bit hit and miss. There were tall aerials to borrow - but we couldn't get a signal. It was a nice change though, not to have the tv on in the evenings.
The site is very popular with walkers. We are certainly not walkers, preferring to take the lazy options! We loved the area. Particularly 'the common' the lane that leads over the hill to Llandrindod Wells. We parked, had a picnic and flew a kite several times up on the hill, alongside the sheep. The views are superb.
We visited the Red Kite feeding station at Gigrin Farm. The Elan Valley trail was spectacular - we drove along all the lanes, lots of big drops which was a bit scary! The Spaceguard centre & observatory at Knighton was interesting for adults and older children too.
The Severn Stars pub was superb - delicious steak & ale pie, even the chips were homemade, great cider. Shame about the Hundred House pub though - my steak was inedible, and the landlord was unfriendly/rude.
When we are next in Wales - we will certainly be staying again at Fforest Fields - this is camping as it should be. I hope it remains just the same.
We have just spent a week here and it is perfect in so many ways. Quiet,secluded,beautiful scenery,charming hosts,good facilities(showers do what they are supposed to do, with plenty of hot water). Beautiful lake and walks so close at hand.
We saw a meteor shower and Will paragliding off the hills too (not at the same time I hasten to add.) This is a Wonderful site for relaxing and forgetting about the 'real world'.I would definitely return.
This is one of the loveliest sites we have stayed on and lived up to all the other reviews on here. From the first welcome on arrival to being waved off on departure, it was a wonderful experience. Katie, George, Will and family made us feel extremely welcome during the whole visit.
Pitches are very generous and very sympathetically spaced, in that you are not generally looking out at another unit, all of the pitches are among lovely greenery, with the planting very clearly thought out to provide natural protection and a degree of privacy.
The toilets and washing up areas are kept very clean, the toilets and showers have received some negative comments on here but I found them perfectly adequate and I never queued once for a shower.
While there is no shop on site, local produce is available in the fridge in the office, this is available any time of day with money going into an honesty box, as does the money from using the washing machines and tumble dryers. There are two camp fridges, two freezers and a microwave available, all free of charge.
The site itself is beautiful enough with stunning views in all directions, but the addition of the lake is fantastic, with kayaks and a dinghy available to borrow, again for a donation - all of which go to charity - the kids can spend hours sailing, swimming and jumping off the jetty. It's not only the kids that love it, it's brilliant for dogs too, the only problem was we couldn't get ours out!
There is also a well stocked fishing lake on site and lovely walks straight off the park.
A new Tesco has just opened in Llandrindod as well as an Aldi for shopping and lots of other smaller shops and takeaways in Builth Wells.
Some lovely places to visit in the area, would particularly recommend the National Showcaves near Llandovery, a great day out and also the Red Kite feeding centre.
Visited as part of a bigger group (all tents) with young children (under 5's) and a couple of dogs.
Site location is great and easy to find - site itself is lovely and big and there is plenty of room between tents, even on the bank holiday.
A very organised site with a reception hut for booking in and getting information. Lots of help with things to do both on the site and around and about.
The site is great just to walk around and the lakes provide some water sports if you're into that sort of thing. Our kids loved it and had a great time just hanging out.
The facilities are generally good, with usual toilets and showers and a separate dish washing facility. They are also keen on recycling which is good.
We didn't need to go outside the site for entertainment but we did venture out a couple of times - to the local play barn when it was raining and also a trip to Builth Wells.
Unbelievably we had frost overnight and with a 2mths old baby this was quite a challenge - but we layered on the clothes and were fine. Amazingly, having got up early with the baby and seeing the frost outside gave us a chance sighting of hot air balloons taking off over the lake - absolutely fantastic. We all raced off to the lake and watched them set up and take off.
Overall a great stay and would like to revisit again. However, our friend who booked the site on our behalf didn't receive very good customer service and was very upset at the way she was spoken to when there was some mistake over the payment of the bill. This was a genuine error on her part and she was happy to rectify it asap but was made to feel like a criminal. A big shame.
Site has nice pitches near hedge rows with beautiful views of hills woods fields etc.
Loads of wildlife,walks up to stunning views,
Very laid back owners,we were to leave sunday most sites you are off before 11.00.No leave after dinner no rush we were told.Nice felt like a extra day.
Roads very light,loads of farms selling eggs etc as will the site with a 24 hr access to milk.Eggs. Etc. nice touch!
If you require a quiet site where you can bring all your extras like gazebo, tents.
Neg-- only the washroom I think needs more showers,
Wife said hers was fine !
Most of the time it was clean but as this was the main week I will allow a bit of dirt !
Look forward to going back sometime.
Did I tell you that this is the best dog walking site I have ever seen,loads of paths lakes for swimming if too hot.If your lucky :)
Have just returned from 2 weeks at FF which we chose based on recommendations from the users of this site.
Have to agree with all the positive things everyone says. Showers/Toilets basic but very clean and free - never had to queue even at weekends. Washing up facilities a godsend (saves boiling kettles of water). The all weather pitch for the tent was great - we had good weather but it was still nice to have such a level surface for sleeping/cooking.
Firepit/BBQs great, honesty box system great - dogs and husband swam in the lake. Did the hill walk to the pub and back (have the blisters and calf muscles of steel to prove it). We walked through the woods to the pub at Hundred House for a drink one afternoon but it was shut (at 5.30pm) so check opening hours before you set off).
Plenty of space around our pitch and good privacy with the landscaping. For the most part the site was very quiet and relaxing. Gets busier at weekends and unfortunately our last 2 nights were somewhat spoilt by a couple of large family groups who pitched up 2 campers, 2 tents and a gazebo behind us which they all congregated in at night. Despite the 'quiet after 10pm' rule it was nearer midnight on Friday and Saturday by the time they all stopped talking and went to bed plus there was a lot of noise from children running around from fairly early in the day.
However aside from that most of the people we met were lovely and very friendly.
Nice to see the swallows nesting and lots of rabbits running about.
If you're looking to stay for a longer period than a weekend would recommend arriving late on a Sunday or a Monday for a wider choice of pitches.
Dog friendly site with scamper area and lake for dogs that like a dip. Be aware that there are sheep pretty much everywhere (walks from the camp and in the area in general) so if you can't trust your dog with sheep they won't be able to have much 'off lead' exercise.
Lots of nice places to visit - recommend Hay on Wye for browsing bookshops and nice river walk - also Hergest Croft gardens well worth a visit - dogs allowed and some great plants for sale at good prices. The Elan valley is great for walking - 1 hour walk from the visitor centre in Elan village is another one that's got fab views but some real uphill sections so not for the faint hearted.
Food shopping not great so take what you need with you. Quite a way to nearest shop for supplies and we found sometimes we had to go to a couple of shops to get what we needed. May be a problem in a camper van you don't want to move when parked up. There is a new large tescos being built (opens at the end of July I think) and this should be a great bonus to the area.
We had both sets of in-laws visit us whilst we were there and they stayed at a great B&B up the road recommended by Kate.
Our only reason for not returning would be that we tend to like to go to different areas each year for our main holiday rather than returning to the same place. So if anyone can recommend a Fforest Fields somewhere near east coast beaches in Norfolk, please let me know.
I have to agree with all the other reviews and say what a great site. It was our first time here after it was recommended to us by some friends. A great site in a great location.
Really friendly and helpful staff.
Great walks all around the site and through the woods.
Very spacious pitches with plenty of room to manoeuvre.
What a find! This is a beautiful campsite in a stunning location! Went there for father's day weekend with our 7 and 9 year old boys. Perfect for our kids with lots of open space to play in and ponds to fish in (nets supplied by campsite free of charge), there's also a lake for canoeing and lots of beautiful walks in the area.
We would definitely recommend a trip to the Elan valley. It was a simple, but fun weekend, enhanced by the lovely weather.
The campsite owners were so helpful and friendly, even interested in the boys tadpole collection! The site was well organised with pitches nicely laid out, allowing plenty of room and privacy.
The facilities were good and always clean, aided by the addition of cloths to clean, encouraging people to look after communal areas. We'll definitely be visiting this site again.
We have already booked again for august and we can't wait.
We were given a pitch for our van in the quiet area and it was perfect so peaceful with the only noise being the sounds of the wonderful bird life.
The 2 lakes are great and our two springers loved swimming in them and cooling down. Wonderful walks around the site and great views from the top of the hill. This site seems to have everything well thought out especially for the people in tents and we wished we had found it when we were campers.
We had difficulty getting TV reception but that wasn't a problem because George just directed us to the TV ariels that you can borrow for a small donation. We didn't do a lot of travelling around wales the weather and the walks around the camp site were so good.
We did enjoy a day out to Elan Valley and a walk down to the Hundred House pub for a meal.
Great campsite, Really looking forward to our next visit. PS The Bacon sold in the camp shop is fab.
Unfortunately we had to change our plans twice and sent emails to Kate who assured me so kindly that the amendments were no problem at all.
Our welcome was warm and was personally shown three different pitches to choose from. The owner asked the ages of our children and then recommended a pitch near the stream for them to play in. The pitch was huge.
The site was beautifully maintained and the walks and lakes beautiful.
We are early risers and did not have to queue for showers but did see long queues later in the morning and in the evening. In fact the showers and toilets were the only thing that we felt let the site down slightly, though they were clean and functional they were very 'tired' and we felt that 3 showers and 4 toilets for each sex was not really enough for a busy site. Having said that it would not put us off going again.
The fridge with local produce in it was brilliant and the fact that we could go and buy milk at 6.30am and leave money in the honesty box was fabulous!
First time at Fforest Fields & certainly won't be the last. Very well kept site, friendly owners, clean toilets / showers, use of fridge / freezer / microwave a bonus too. Lovely views, pretty walks, not too overcrowded yet still busy and ideal for Mid Wales sight seeing.
Recomend the Severn Stars pub in Aberedw (10 min drive from the campsite & do beatuiful food), Elan Valley trail, The Strand Cafe / Bistro in Rhaeyder, Llandod sculpture trail, Llandod Lake to see the Water Beast (although we wouldn't recommend the Lakeside Cafe - staff a tad snooty!)
We have just returned from a fantastic few days at this site and being new to the world of caravanning (2 outings) we found this an ideal site for us.
The site is very accessible and even as a novice I found manoeuvring into my pitch an undaunting exercise. Recommend pitches 16, 17 or 18 which are close to all of the sites amenities
Our 13 year old labrador loved this site for its walks and the chance to have a cool off in one of the beautifully kept lakes.
Facilities are well cleaned and maintained even during this week which was a busy period, but by no means overcrowded.
I also recommend the Seven Stars Inn (Local Pub) about a 5-10 min drive from site (directions available in room behind reception) which served tasty local meals and a whole plethora of cider's from local & afar.
George was a familiar and friendly face and always willing to help where required which is always an added bonus.!
The added bonus of being able to have an post-bbq camp fire (subject to availability of galv trays) was the cherry on the cake.
Highly recommended to all age groups
