We have just returned from a week at Park Farm. There are many positives about this site - it is really close to Manorbier beach and to pubs and shops which is great. The site is well maintained with the grass cut regularly. The managers are really friendly and chatty and give some really good tips on where to go and what there is to do. There is a shop (expensive and really interesting collection of goods on offer!) but if you want croissants/fresh bread you have to order them the previous day and collect them between 8. 45 and 9. 30 the next day - bizarre!
But what is not clear on the website is that the site is split in two. One for the static homes and another for caravans and tents. The laundry, Internet and facilities to freeze ice packs are in main reception and a long walk from the tent site which was a real pain. The wireless access is expensive and doesn't work in the bottom field for tents so don't bother buying it if you are pitching in the tent field. The biggest disappointment were the shower and washing up block. The sinks for washing are in the open air which is hideous when it is blowing a gale and lashing down with rain. There are newish showers - two unisex and one family - but these were very compact and the showers in all three were an annoying dribble. This was in direct contrast to the taps which have so much pressure that you got soaked each time you turned them on! There were only two showers open when we were there as they had locked the older two. This was really annoying as, although there were only a few of us on the site, we had to queue! It is real shame that when the owners updated the block that they did not add more showers and put a bit of thought into the pressure for the showers. We also had several cold showers which was also hideous. There is also no way you can clear the water from the shower rooms, so often when going in the floor was swimming in water and grass. A simple mop and bucket in each room would be useful. There was only us and four other tents on site so we could pitch where we liked and had plenty of room, but in high season when it is busy the pitches will feel cramped and very close together.
We were divided about how we felt about value for money. They charge per tent, not per pitch. They then add kids, dogs and gazebos on top. Another bizarre thing was that if you put the sides on your gazebo to protect you from the wind, they then charge you for a tent (pitch) price, not a gazebo price! We also felt that a £3 per night charge for a dog (more than a child!) was seriously over the top. Particularly as there are no facilities (dog wash, poo bins) for dogs on site.
The closest pub is the Castle Inn which caters for kids but only takes dogs in the garden. The next nearest pub is the Swanlake which is a 20 minute walk or 5 minute drive from the site which takes kids and dogs inside. Both do good home made food at good valued for money
Manorbier is beautiful and the beach is lovely. There are great walks along the coastal path to Swanlake Bay and for the more adventurous to Tenby.
Sadly we will not be retuning to Park Farm unless they improve the facilities in the camping field but will definitely be returning to Manorbier as it is a stunning part of Wales
I liked this site, I received a warm welcome and reassurance that I would have no problems with my unit on site as the ground was rock hard. Also, after I had paid for one night, the owner said I could stay as long as I liked. (we stayed 3 nights). She also said that if I wanted to stay on return, I could just pitch up as the code to the barrier was the same.
The sanitary facilities were clean and there were a couple of en suite facilities and a family room. There was a disabled shower room, though access across the grass may not be easy. The facilities could come under pressure in peak season, though it was no problem for us as there were very few units on site. There was a chemical disposal point but no dedicated motorhome service point.
The site is an open, all grass site, surrounded by trees and has a very spacious feel to it. It is, however, undulating, so be prepared. There are some great rural views.
They have made a rear access to the site which takes you to the beach, initially a steep path, via Manorbier castle, which is well worth a visit.
There are excellent coastal walks, to Tenby in one direction, to Freshwater East in the other direction.
There is a well equipped Londis supermarket in Manorbier and the pub is worth a visit.
They are also in the process of increasing the number of EHU's.
We absolutely loved this site! We took a 6 year old a four year old and a dog. If you are looking for wide open spaces, clean facilities and peace and quiet then this is for you.
Every pitch was well marked out and spacious and I loved the family shower room to which only families with small children are given the key.
The children enjoyed playing on the grass and riding their bikes and the lack of play area was a bonus as it meant the kids spent time with us and there was not the usual screeching gaggle of kids concentrated in one area
The nearby beach has everything you could wish for, a castle overlooking it, sand, dunes, rockpools and a river that runs down to the sea.
We have already booked our next stay here and will be booking many more
Very warm welcome at reception. Lovely views all around the surrounding areas.
Toilet facilities were very good and well maintained but could do with a few more shower rooms.
Nice and secure campsite with lock and barrier accesses.
Well signposted areas for hiking, strolls to the beach etc but only real downside is that it's very stoney so if your pitching a tent, make sure you take plenty of pegs!
I would also say that it's a little pricey considering that there's no clubhouse but if you got kids like us, there's no playground/ play area etc.
Turned up on spec on a Saturday and were easily accommodated in the camping/touring field up the road. We were only staying the one night so can’t really provide an in-depth description of the facilities, but they seemed clean, functional and well-maintained.
Our pitch was on a slight slope but sheltered by some trees which provided a little privacy and a place for my son to develop his bushcraft skills.
The site itself seemed spacious and quiet, particularly for a bank holiday weekend. Despite having no sea-view, it had a lovely chilled-out rural ambience, slightly offset by the bustling of rooks rummaging in the trees behind us. As we wound down after our evening barbecue we were briefly joined by some rabbits before turning in for an undisturbed night’s sleep.
It’s a 10-15 minute walk to Manorbier Castle and the picturesque beach, from where you can access the coastal path. To get back into the site from the footpath you need to enter a code into a combination lock to open the gate – it’s not really clear why the site has taken this step as it seems like a quiet, sleepy area but I assume they have their reasons.
The site is close to the bustling resort of Tenby and provides an excellent base for exploring the rest of South Pembrokeshire. I suppose it seemed a tad pricey at £24 per night for a small camper and awning. However, we had a very relaxing, chilled out time in a tranquil setting and would definitely come here again and stay a bit longer.
On arrival we were welcomed warmly and pointed in the right direction of field, which is secured by a security barrier, Field on a bit of an incline and uneven but in good order.
Toilets and shower block clean and well maintained, and hot water when needed.
All round a good site, for exploring the surrounding area. But bring plenty of tent pegs as there are a lot of stones in the ground.
The washing up facilities were fine but they are open to the weather we were lucky as it was dry.
The coastal path walk to manobier beach is good and well worth a try a good choice if visiting this area
Just returned from this site. One of the few that accepts group bookings. We were given our own corner in a lovely sheltered spot. Gorgeous site with so much room to play and feel free! Facilities good, but best thing was walking to the beach -10 mins, fairly steep but all the children managed it - 5-17 year olds and adults! The toilets were cleaned regularly, though did run out of paper one night, and there were some extra showers for this year. We loved the fresh croissants and baguettes, the beach, and places to visit! recommend it!
Just returned from 4 night stay. We were in a group with 4 other tents and all came away with the same opinion!
Toilets inadequate for the number of pitches. Total of 5 showers in the touring field, always a queue and dirty. Shower heads need replacing on all showers and considering that 3 of the showers were new for 2011, they have not worn well.
However, the site is well located for exploring the area. You can walk to Manorbier beach in about 10 mins. There are plenty of local pubs to eat out at. Tenby is beautiful and the fishing trip is well worth the money.
The site has a shop with the basics and they are croissants, pain au chocolat and baguettes freshly baked daily.
If this site sorted out the toilet block it would be spot on.
My family stayed at Park Farm from Tuesday to Saturday in August 2011. The part of the site reserved for tourers is not accessible from the site office and shop without walking or driving half a mile along a lane and then a further quarter of a mile along a bumpy farm track. Because this field is out of sight of the shop and reception office entry to the field is only possible by entering a five digit security code on a key pad in order to raise a barrier. The field slopes but we were lucky enough to get two adjacent pitches ANOTHER quarter of a mile down the field which were almost level. Just enough of a slope to force the choice of which way to point our lilo beds!
The grass was short and freshly mown and largely litter free, and frequented by rabbits in early morning and late evening. There is a toilet block with the nuisance of keypad entry to the showers although the water was hot.
For those campers looking for a 'green' holiday, this is not the place to stay. There is no effort made to recycle rubbish so all glass and bottles is piled up with food waste. The owners drive a 4wd truck between the camp site office and the tourers field burning diesel. Cigarette ends littered the entrance to the toilet block - there is a no-smoking rule inside the block.
My personal beef about the place is the absence of coat hooks inside the toilet cubicles so just where do I hang my raincoat/jacket etc while sitting on the throne! The floor is too wet to put anything down because of all the wet feet tramping in over the rain or dew covered grass.
This lets the site down because it is in a truly beautiful location.
We stayed here just at the beginning of the summer holidays and the site (up the hill in the tourer section) had only scattered tents and caravans. We were towards the bottom of the field and as a result the tent was one quite a slope. This isn't a huge problem but is awkward especially when trying to cook.
The shower block was at the top of the hill and I was quite glad that it didn't rain whilst we were there as the walk there and back in the rain would have been quite daunting.
The lights in the mens toilets were broken and therefore toileting in the nighttime was a challenge. The showers were basic and could do with some new heads as its a lottery as to whether or not you get wet (though the floor is always soaked by the end).
The location of the site is fantastic though being rural you do have to contend with the odd wake up call of someone out with their shotgun!. The staff were pleasant and helpful and as a base from which to explore the area it is a lovely starting point.
As someone else has pointed out a child play area would be nice, but so many people took cricket, football or frisbees etc that the children had a fine time without
