Date of Visit: July 2005 Unit:  Trailer Tent
Reviewer: Jane Coles 3 reviews from this member

 We stayed here on several occasions in 2004-2005.
 
The site is indeed small, but quaint. Sadly, they do charge 20p for the showers, but then the 4star one we stayed at last week does this, so it seems to be acceptable in the best of sites.
 
In defence of the 'owner' in the last post who was woken at 8.30 am, he was most definitely Brian the warden, who is as far from being owner as anyone can be.  He has a gruff manner about him - as do many wardens - but is a good bloke and very helpful if you work with him rather than treating him with ignorance as I have seen many campers do.  I'd be grumpy at 8.30am.(!)
 
As for being noisy, the funfair closes by about 8pm and cannot be heard from this field.  In fact, once you get through to the campsite field, you are unaware of the statics, the funfair, the car park, the bars, the daytrippers etc.  On the contrary it is a peaceful spot.
 
The lights are on a sensor at the toilet block in the field and have always worked when we have been, though irritatingly the warden has to frequently replace the lock on the toilet because campers keep putting the latch on to save having to use their keys, which in turn gets broken.
 
The shower block is further away and is dated but clean and functional.
 
Two pubs are conveniently near - the "Wye Not Inn" is up a steep flight of steps from the campsite and has an excellent menu.  The "Ferry Inn" is a longer walk along the river but is well worth the walk to sit and watch the salmon jumping while the canoes paddle by.
 
Sorry anyone else didn't enjoy, we have had wonderful, relaxed, quiet and peaceful breaks here - perhaps because we don't mind 'quaint'.

Brilliant stay. Really good surprise - it was a last minute booking. Great location so close to the river and you can walk to nearby pubs. We went off season so it wasn't overly busy on the funfair adjacent. We'd definitely rebook this site - basic shower facilities but they were hot and working! Very clean site.

 July 2005
We found this site online, and booked on the telephone. This proved difficult as the owner was very difficult to communicate with.

The site was very clean and tidy, but we were pitching a tent and there was not sufficient space or access to the tiny area for campers and tents. There are no facilities nearby other than a paid shower and toilets which were unlit at night.

The site was very noisy at night, being beside a full scale funfair and bars.

On departure, we had to wake the owner up at 8.30 in the morning to get our £10 key deposit back, and he was not very happy about this, and made that clear.

Being objective, this site is a static site with a small inadequate area for tourers.
