After reading previous excellent reviews, decided to stop off here before travelling down to the Pembrokeshire Coast.
Stayed for two nights and was not disappointed. The site is really fantastic & situated in a beautiful location. The pitches & shower/toilets are maintained to a very high standard. There are lovely woodland walks on the hillside forest that overlooks the site. From here you can enjoy the wildlife & stunning views of the valley. Builth Wells is approximately 5 miles away and is a very nice Welsh town. Here you will find a fairly large COOP supermarket, a good selection of shops. Pubs & take-aways. There is also a local Cinema, showing the latest releases.
I would highly recommend this camp site. For the discerning camper Fforest Fields is well worth a visit.
WOW. Just come back from 1 idyllic week on this site and had to get on their web site to revisit what we had left and re-live the beautiful, peaceful tranquil site and views on line. This will have to do until we visit again. Nothing negative to say at all. I found no fault with the showers or toilets, in fact, given some previous comments about them being aged - I thought I was using the new facilities when I got there as they are not that bad, they are very functional - if the new facilities were to charge, as most sites do, then you would hear people complain! The best dog friendly site I have been to. Two dog scampers on site and as soon as you leave the site (2 minutes walk) there are hills, forests and fields they can run free on for miles (as long as they are not inclined to chase sheep!). The owners have developed a boating/swimminglake and are in the process of developing a fishing pool. Take a map, visit surrounding areas, chill out, relax, I cannot give this site enough credit.
Fforsest fields is an oasis of calm. It has a variety of level spacious pitches, some with a quiet field.
There are shallow streams & bridges to keep children occupied.
The owners Katie & George gave a us a warm welcome & were not far away. There were theremo blocks for barbecues & fire baskets to hire. At reception there was a fridge for campers use, & another stocked with basic local produce, anything else can be bought in Builth a short drive away.
Although we were her over the wet Whit weekend the showers were always clean & had hot water. There is a spacious laundry& washing up area.
From the site there are some lovely walks& is a great place for exploring the Elan dam&mid Wales.
If you want a commercial site, with a clubhouse & playground then please don't come here.
However if you are looking for a peaceful well maintained site then you need look no further.
This site is a must for anyone whether you have children or not. It is the most beautiful site we have ever visited. The scenery is stunning. The fee was so cheap, £20 per night for a large tent 2 adults, 3 children and electric hook up was a steal! The facilities are superb, especially the honesty box - the best ideas are often the simplest ones. The site owners are so friendly and welcoming, and the pitches are wonderful, no sticks or thorns, no stones or uneven surfaces. The swallow chicks in the utility block roof and the visits from the hedgehogs into our tent at night time were a real bonus too!
We visited during the bank holiday, and although the site was full it didn't feel crowded, just peaceful and relaxing. (Incidentally, we didn't have to queue for showers loos etc despite the bank holiday and there were five in our group.) At 10pm every night quiet descended over the site ensuring a peaceful night for all.
Perfect for families with children, friends, couples etc. Perfect for walkers, cyclists and those just wanting to sight see or chill out.
We will definitely be going back to this site. After five nights we felt completely relaxed and refreshed, the only down side was having to leave and we can't wait to go back!
Visited over the BH weekend and it was fantastic. Even though the site was full there was still plenty of space in the far field whilst still being close enough to the toilet/shower block. As reported by others, the toilets/showers are kept immaculately clean. Despite the full site I did not have to queue for more than five minutes for a shower during the weekend.
Have to agree with other reviewers on the peaceful surroundings. The only real noise we heard was from the buzzards in the woods nearby and from the hot air balloonists setting off from the corner of the field in the mornings and evenings. What with these and the odd para-glider landing in the field during the day it's great free entertainment!
Visited the local hostelries during the stay. Hundred House Inn is a 20 minute stroll along the main road. You can also reach it via a path from the campsite that follows a small stream. Watch out though for nettles and boggy patches. Very pleasant pub when you get there- friendly locals, good beer and good food.
Also made the hike over the hill to the pub in Aberedw. It was a glorious walk that took about two and a half hours to cover the 5 miles. Waymarked along the entire route so we hardly had to look at the map. Fantastic views of the Wye valley along the way and utterly peaceful. We only met four others during the walk. They recommend that you book places in the restaurant before setting off. Great Sunday lunch on offer. Can't tell you if it's easy to make the return journey as we bottled out and got a lift back to the site with fellow campers who had a car!
If I had to choose just one positive point about this place it would be the owners obvious commitment to their venture. Their dedication means that they will do everything possible to make sure that you enjoy your stay and that their site is as nice as possible for you when you visit. We're definitely going back.
What a fantastic site. Beautifully kept, acres of space, simply idylic. Plenty to keep the kids happy on site and the most beautiful walks. This site is clearly the pride and joy of the owners. I visited just after the extremely heavy rains and there were a few pitches that were still sectioned off but that was the only evidence of the extreme weather we have experienced this year. Can't wait to return with just my husband to show him what I have been raving about.
Disappointed with this campsite. Be assured there is no facilities for the disabled despite what they may say. The toilets are in need of a overhaul and with only 3 showers units be prepared to queue for a shower. Thats when they are working. More than once they had problems resulting in only 2 showers working.
The worst thing's about this this site is the following.
1. If cooking outside be prepared to cover your food with a coat of dust. The circuit around the road is very poor and you will find your burgers and sausages with a nice coating with dust. There is no respite from the dust as cars, caravans, kids on bikes, local taxis, motorhome's etc etc just churn up the dust regardless of keeping to the site speed limits.
2. Being told to keep the noise down at 2145 when we were not being noisy just sat around the table chatting in one corner of the site. We all went to bed at 2230 but the way they came over like some sort of night time police force just served to ensure they got back what they gave.
Still the views in the site are excellent, the pitches are big enough although we had some problems with having to keep resetting the trip on the RCD.
The owners seem nice enough but there is much more to be done to make outstanding.
Following all of the positive reviews of this site, we decided to visit for the August Bank Holiday with our two daughters (ages 8 and 6) and I am so glad that we did.
This site has to be one of the best managed and most picturesque sites that we have ever come across. George and Katie Barstow (owners) have created an absolute gem and demonstrate total commitment to the well being of their guests which is evidenced by their seemingly constant presence on the site. The camp fridge which is well stocked with the most fantastic thick cut, home cured bacon, orange juice, milk eggs and sausages and is freely available (so long as you leave your money in the honesty box!) which is a revelation in itself. If only the rest of today's society was as open, friendly and trusting as Katie and George, the world would be a much better place. I sincerely hope that nobody seeks to take advantage of the trust that they have placed with people who are complete strangers to them, since it would be a travesty if such little (but important) things were to change.
The whole campsite is a playground and is ideal for children who can play in complete safety.
During our stay, the commitment of the owners was amply demonstrated when the 'Campers from Hell' arrived in the form of three women who seemingly did not appreciate the concept of quiet and tranquillity - however they were swiftly asked to leave!
In summary a fantastic site, managed by owners who are truly committed and one for the favourites list!
Probably the best site we've been to so far. We were given the biggest pitch on the site so had plenty of room for our awning and privacy as well. Immaculate shower blocks and facilities, constantly kept clean and the laundrette also. The owners were pleasant, polite and very helpful. Nothing was a problem for them. There is an honesty box in the reception area where you can take food from a fridge and place money into the honesty box. I believe you can also hire ariels and bbq's from the owners.
The site itself set inside farm land with wonderful scenic views of the mountains and hills. There's a cute little brook that runs through the camp site with lots of little bridges over to cross to the other side, depending on where you're pitched.
Just a short drive to the town where there are shops, pubs etc We ordered a taxi to take us into the town one night and we went to a restaurant which was all very reasonable.
A very nice quiet friendly site the owners make you feel very welcome, nothings is to much trouble. Theresa nice walks around and well spaced pitches. The showers and toilets are clean and tidy but as bit small but you don,t live in the toilets so can make do fully recommend
Fforest Fields is a lovely peaceful site with stunning views. The pitches are level and well spaced, there's a good range of pitches to suit everyone whether in a tent or a caravan.
The owners are very trusting and let you choose your own pitch and if they're not around you can leave your payment in the post box. Although the owners can be seen around the site at many times during the day or can be contacted via the phone at the reception area. The family are very friendly.
The toilet / shower block is quite dated and although the site wasn't terribly busy they were a bit dirty and smelly at times. There's only 3 showers so you either have to queue or shower at a different time of the day. They are a bit cramped too, especially if you are showering with a child but have lovely hot water. There is also good washing up facilities with 2 washing and drying machines for clothes at a reasonable cost.
The fridge in the reception area contains a good stock of milk, yoghurts, bacon, eggs, orange juice and water and is a fab idea. They also have a supply of fresh locally baked bread delivered everyday. A further fridge and freezer are provided for free use. A few more basic grocery items and you really wouldn't need to leave the site! But we were told that the owners don't want to commercialise the site.
Our children loved playing around the ponds which are lovely but unless you take a bike there isn't much else for children to do. Our children said they would like to see a little play area with some swings and a slide. From experience of other sites we found that children congregate in the play area making it easier for them to make friends.
We'd love to go back for another relaxing holiday.
If Carlsberg did campsites this would be it. Relaxed, clean, good facilities. Children loved ponds and streams. Beautiful surroundings. Great pint of Brains in Hundred End Inn. Flat well grassed pitches with privacy. Never met owners! Paid via honesty box for site and bread, milk and bacon. Campers fridge and freezer - essential as we don`t have hook up.
From the minute you turn onto this camp site you WILL feel the stress beginning to fall away. Set in a beautiful valley with excellent flat grass and hard standing pitches, hook up is available too. Reception is a basic large 'shed' however all you need is there. Maps, info packs and best of all, a campers fridge and freezer. Just mark your own bags with the felt pen provided. The site also provides a fridge with bacon/bread etc available. Just put the money into the honesty box.
Showers/toilet block is clean but basic, hey who cares, they do the job and are free. There are washing machines + tumble dryers too, again a small charge into the honesty box
Ideal place for walks, bird watching and mountain biking.
The best bit about this site for me was this though. There is nothing there, no club, no noise, just the gentle evening hum of people having BBQ's and chat. I slept the sleep of the dead. Brilliant.
Took our babies on their first camping trip here (our second) - theyre 13 months old, didnt think they would enjoy it, but they loved playing on the grass, which is as beautiful as any lawn i've ever seen, no stones or nasty prickly plants, no rubbish anywhere, they were totally safe and we could relax. Plenty of room to pitch the tent and park the car, and plenty of space between us and our neighbours, 1 minute walk to the toilet/washing/laundry facilities.
Toilet blocks were spotless, cleaned at least twice a day i'm sure, with cleaning equipment by the sinks, and outside of the blocks themselves, so you can clean any mud you take in with you, not leave it behind and feel guilty. Showers were lovely, quite small, but heat adjustable, and plenty of water, and free, enough space to get dried in, with hangers and duck board, hairdryers too. The laundry room is great 3 or 4 sinks to wash up in (with washing up liquid incase youve forgotten yours) plus a seperate sink to wash clothes in - which was deep enough to bath the babies in! Heaven! 2 washers + dryers worked great, also had an iron (no charge) a small ironing board, and a changing mat! outside of there is the recycling centre, for paper, glass and tins, unfortunately not for cardboard - never mind, the roof over head has swallow nests, look up on a night to see them peering out at you!
The reception room has a fridge which stocks bacon, eggs, milk, butter, orange juice and apparantly yogurt (none there when we went). Theres also a fridge and freezer for campers to use, postcards and washing powder tablets are also on sale here, and theres leaflets and information sheets.
There are streams running through the park, with little ponds here and there, At the recycling centre theyve left some nets for children to catch the pondlife (mainly bugs, but very exciting none the less) - take your own bucket! haha.
We had an amazing walk through the forest (or wood, not sure) quite steep, very muddy in places, but we got the pushchairs through it all, worth it for the view from the seat at the top - oh, if youre brave theres a lovely pond half way round that would be lovely for a swim (not for lone children - its deep)
We saw LOADS of rabbits, birds (one popped in and did a lap of the tent?! ) and strange insects, and really enjoyed the experience. The owners are very friendly, and almost always on site, theres a phone to ring them on if theyre not on. OH and there are cooking herbs around the centre of the site too!.
They really have thought of everything, tiny little details that made alot of difference. I really couldnt complain about anything. Except that its so peaceful and tranquil that the sheep seemed noisy! fantastic.
there are two large lakes being constructed. We're just hoping theyre going to having fishing lakes on site, definitely looks like theyve built fishing pegs - watch this space!
Cost us £10 per night for a 6 berth tent and two adults (babies were free)
This was my second visit to this site. It really is a lovely, pretty tranquil site. Everything about it feels relaxed and chilled out, it's a great place to come and wind down.
The owners seem helpful, friendly and laid back.
The pitches were a good size - we went on a gravel pitch this time because it had been raining heavily recently but last time we were on a grassed pitch - I liked both areas.
There are some lovely open spaces, and my son enjoyed playing on the large grassed area. There were also other little areas surrounded by trees and flowers and the odd picnic bench dotted about. Small ponds and streams added to the tranquillity of the place.
