Date of Visit: August 2019 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Nights stayed: 9 Travelling as:  Extended family
Reviewer: Susiejane 25 reviews from this member

 We were a party of 10 in 3 touring caravans. Rather strange that we weren't given pitch numbers until we arrived, although we were assured that we would be together, and we were.

The problem was we were very near the play park which meant that children congregated there. They also played ball games on the green area outside our caravans, kicking the ball into awnings and hitting the caravans several times! The parents seemed not be bothered by this at all.

The site was lovely as were the wardens who were very helpful. The approach to the site is through a very narrow road, you wouldn't want to meet another caravan coming the other way!

A well stocked shop which was open long hours. 10/12 minute walk to Nottage where there are 3 pubs. A short drive to Porthcawl, which you probably could walk. Toilets and showers were well maintained and there are disabled facilities.

I would visit the site again but not during school holidays unless I could pick a pitch away from the play park. A green area for ball games would be a good addition to the site.

Reviewer: Caergeiliog 18 reviews from this member

 Staff very friendly, toilets/showers were very clean and grounds well maintained. 3 Village pubs and local beaches all within walking distance, Major, major, major concern over the approach road as its very narrow and a railway bridge 9 foot 3 inches high at lowest point.

Our autotrail tracker FB went through with literally 2 inches to spare
( a hairy experience, which I would not want to duplicate again).

Site was fairly busy, which I guess is what it should be in the summer months. Quiet at night. Paid £22. 50/night for MOHO, incl elec. And 2 adults 


Date of Visit: July 2018 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: JudieT 2 reviews from this member

 Pros:

1: Proximity to Nottage village and Porthcawl

Cons:

1: Had to pay full fee 6 weeks before arrival

2: Access lane to the site very overgrown - be very careful if arriving with new van or a wider van, hedges scrape both sides

3: Small, tight pitches, tents in particular were shoe-horned in during busy periods, looked like a real fire hazard

4: Very high percentage of seasonal pitches, residents were very cliquey

5: Despite being stated as forbidden in the T & C's we witnessed a dog being left howling in a seasonal unit for over 2 hours; a dog roaming free and pooping on our pitch; plenty of car movement around 10pm - midnight; and the odd gazebo!

6: The smell of the toilets was at times overwhelming

7: The sanitary bins in the ladies loos had all their lids missing (bar one) - not nice at all

Reviewer: Pozzle 23 reviews from this member

 We booked for 5 nights over the phone. No internet booking available. It was mixed up by the reception staff so we had an issue on arrival

We were also lead to believe it was nearer to Porthcawl golf club, for walking, than it was so had to drive and unfortunately the gates are closed at 10pm and not opened until between 7. 30/8. 00am in morning. We needed to leave for club at 7am son one day We had asked if they could be opened at 7 that day but it proved so difficult we stayed out that night elsewhere

The pitches are very close together. I was a bit concerned we wer3 too close.

There are a lot of seasonal pitches there also.

Personally we found it very noisy and some children used our unit as a place to run around, under our windows.

I wouldn’t go back and did not enjoy our stop at this site at all

Reviewer: Jonjesk 7 reviews from this member

 We really liked this site, staff very friendly, toilets/showers were very clean and grounds well maintained. Village pubs and local beaches all within walking distance.

I would have slight concern over the approach road as its very narrow [although distance is short] I wouldn't like to meet another unit coming the other way.

We would stay here again.

Date of Visit: September 2017 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Dragon56 30 reviews from this member

 Stayed 2 nights on route from lincolnshire to west wales and we wish we could have stayed longer.

Excellent site with very good facilities. A well stocked shop and only a 10 minute walk into the village. Very friendly staff and the site is set in some lovely countryside.

We will be back when touring the area. 


Date of Visit: April 2017 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Gailwilliams57 2 reviews from this member

 It was our first visit to brodawel site and have to say it was one of the best we've been to quiet clean fab showers and toilets and loved the peace and quiet during the evenings.

We walked into porthcawl which took us half hour at the most. The owners was really helpful and nothing was too much trouble for them.

We'll definitely be regular visitors this year 


Date of Visit: September 2016 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Bilbo1 1 review from this member

 Our first visit to the site 3 night stay non elec (elec sold out) Thurs - Sun arrived at 3 made welcome by lady warden showed facilities and given a choice of several pitches. Space between pitches not huge but adequate clean and plenty of hot water.

The site is a 38 min walk to main shopping area in Porthcawl ( some say 30 I'm nearly 60 and not fit ) there are 3 pubs close by 15 mins same direction The Farmers is dog friendly and serves food. The access road is narrow but only 700 metres to entrance.

We got taxis back from town twice both times only cost £5 and accepted the dog, Elvis weekend so parking was limited. The site was quiet and all our neighbours were friendly and helpful to each other. The site is open 6 months of the year and stores for the other 6 months. Several of our neighbours were on this option.

The site is quite level but there was a dip between the road and where we sited which was ok but we had to be careful as there's little clearance on our mover. We enjoyed our stay and will come again.

Reviewer: Baloosp4 2 reviews from this member

 We received a warm welcome on arrival to the site. The owners are friendly and helpful. It was easy to find the site from the directions on the website.

The site is well maintained and the facilities are obviously looked after and regularly cleaned.

We were in a tent with electric hook up. There is a slight slope but the ground is flat and we had no problem putting in tent pegs. Easy access to recycling, fresh water and dishwashing facilities.

A great little site with great views but only minutes from the motorway.

Reviewer: Allun13 17 reviews from this member

 Its a good caravan site. Very noisy during the day and early evening. A tractor driving round the site at 9. 30 didn't help matters.

Its very well oranised for the permanent/touring vans but a bit ad-hoc for tourers.

The facilities are good. The toilets and showers are good and there is very good recycling facilities. Well stocked shop sells everything from beer to beans and the staff are cheerful and helpful.

Site is well placed for the smal local village and for Porthcawl which is 10 mins drive away.

Overall, a good family fiendly base.
