We have just come back from a wonderful 5 night stay at Three Castles. What a fantastic site this is. The site is made up of 12 grass pitches with drive on hard standing tracks for your caravan/camper or car. The pitches all have electric and tv aerial points and are well spaced out. The site is in a great location and whilst close to B roads we were not disturbed by traffic noise at all.
The facilities are wonderful (almost brand new and state of the art - lights come on when you walk up to the block which is located centrally on the site) There are three rooms which have walk in showers/sink and loo as well as shaver points, mirror etc (as well as some complimentary supplies in case you have forgotten anything) (one of these is fully equipped for disabled people).
There is also a separate loo and basin if you do not wish to use the shower. There is a great washing up room with a freezer for you to use if you wish, again there was even washing up liquid in there - nice touch. There is also a separate laundry room with a washing machine and tumble dryer and sink and drainer for hand washing. Finally there is one further room which houses a TV and sofa and chairs, leaflets and information and books for sale or borrow, I even noticed a small kettle so you can make yourself a hot drink.
There is hairdryer in the main lobby and an umbrella. The owners Tony and Lorraine have thought of everything. There is full recyling and chemical disposal point. On arrival you go over the road to the rear of the main farm house to book in.
The site was not full when we were there - about 7 pitches were in use. At no point did we have to wait for a shower or the loo, which indeed I think would have been the same if the site was fully booked. We took our little dog and were delighted to have use of a well kept doggy exercise field right next door to the site.
There were eggs for sale and also icecream and Lorraine said she was looking at providing breakfast packs in the near future. The local shop is only about 3 miles away at Grosmont and Monmouth about 10 minutes drive or so which has bigger supermarkets.
We had a great time visiting the three castles. Skenfrith can be walked to very easily down a very quiet lane that is across the road from the campsite. The Church is wonderful and the castle, whilst ruined is also very nice to see (and free), there is also a pub in the village.
White Castle has a charge but it's peanuts and worth paying - it's a lovely castle and Grosmont is also free. There is a tea shop in Grosmont as well as the little shop and pub. We visited Part-Y-Seal Tea rooms which is about 3 1/2 miles away (leaflet on site), wonderful experience, the host is the most darling chap who made is us feel very welcome.
We used the site as a base for exploring the Beacons, Talybont reservoir is stunning, if you follow the road past the reservoir you will come to the Old Barn Tea rooms which was also very nice. We are country loving folk so can't really comment much on the local towns, Monmouth was ok for food shopping and we did look at the very old bridge but we spent most of our time outside with our dog.
If you are the outdoor type there is a cycle route to and from all of the three Castles or if you prefer walking you can do a walk to all of them - although it is pretty long. The campsite provide all this information as well as shorter walks with good information on terrain and difficulty.
We had a lovely day at Symonds Yat (West) where we went up to the Rock - the views are amazing, had lunch in one of the hotels and walked along the river (which is suitable for bikes as well as feet). You can take a river trip but we didn't do this, although our neighbours did and enjoyed it very much.
We had a day walking the Monmouth and Brecon canal which was super, including lunch at a put on the tow path - very peaceful.
All in all we had a super time, excellent site, lovely location, great for things to do and would highly recommend. If we went back to this area again I would not want to stay anywhere else. Big, big thumbs up all round.
This site has a great facility block, three very large shower rooms plenty of hooks to hang clothes and towels, lots of room to dry off, always plenty of luxury toilet paper and very clean, very nicely decorated.
Lots of little extras like ice creams for sale in the fridge just pop your money in the box & free range eggs too, nice TV lounge, and washing up room with draining rack washing up bowls and even a choice of 3 different washing up liquids if you forgot yours,
The owners Tony & Lorraine are very welcoming and only to pleased to give info on the surrounding areas and places to visit.
The site is kept spotless and bins always emptied every day, The Bell Pub in Skenfrith less than a miles walk down a quiet lane, more of an eating pub but very friendly and dog friendly too (dogs not allowed in eating area).
Site has a nice field next door to exercise the dog. We would highly recommend this site to anyone looking to get away from it all for quiet break and will definitely be going back.
PS. Poor signal for mobile phones but I class that as a bonus.
We have just returned from this great little site. The weather this weekend was excellent and this certainly enhanced our visit to the area.
Three Castles is an adults only site which we prefer. 2 very hospitable and friendly staff who are happy to talk although we only saw them once (to pay). They live behind the owners property opposite so not far away if in the unlikely event you have a problem/issue etc.
Only 12 pitches all with electric and some fully serviced with mains water and drainage. They are all level with hardstanding where your wheels sit, the rest is grassed, so just unhitch and wind down the steadies!
The only slight problem we uncounted was the outlet from my Lunar Lexon meant the waste pipe had to go 'up hill' to the drain point thus did not empty (Perhaps the drain could be re-located to the sides of the pitch). This meant that we had to use the WasteMaster but it was no real issue.
They also cater for tents but I think this is another field.
The Facilities are fantastic with 3 large shower rooms which incorporate a toilet / handbasin / powershower and electric hand dryer too. There is also a separate toilet too. Another nice touch were the basic essential toiletries that are free to use - Shaving Creme & Hand Creme & nice scented liquid soaps and other items too.
Also inside the facilities building (which is spotless)was a small T. V Lounge/Library, it had 2 comfy armchairs so if you were tenting you could get out of the elements! I noticed that they have a 'boot' drying room as well.
There is a small kitchen area to wash up (with free wash up liquid), a chargeable washing machine and tumble dryer. You really could not ask for more.
I understand that the owners have recently completed this little campsite and in my opinion have set the bar at a great height.
Highly recommended by me for peace and tranquillity and not far from Abergavenny / Monmouth and surrounding areas via a nice drive through lovely smooth sweeping roads.
Not much in the way of provisions near by although there is a tiny produce shop in the village but more like a W. I stall and a Cider Farm up the road! Large Supermarkets within 15 minutes in Monmouth / Abergavenny - Waitrose / Morrissons etc.
This was our second visit to this lovely site; and again it didn't disappoint.
After e-mailing the owners to rebook following our Aug 2011 visit they tried their best to let us have our favourite pitch again. And on arriving for the Easter weekend for 4 nights we got pitch number 6 again, which is in the corner and a generous size pitch; we had plenty of room for our 4 man tent with porch and gazebo.
As the other reviews state this is an adult only site made up of 12 pitches all with electric hook-up and tv point and accepts both tents and caravans and allows dogs too.
The shower block was spotless as always and has everything needed. The only minor flaw we encountered was because the weather was so bad and cold the building could have done with having the heating turned on as the showers were cold when getting dressed; although the water was always hot so washing under the powerful water flow was bliss.
Would we return - oh yes with no hesitation.
Thank you to Lorraine and Tony for the Easter card and bag of mini eggs on Easter Sunday with a lovely message for each of us brave souls staying there in the rain.
Lovely small site tucked away on the Welsh/English border. Fantastic facilities-all en suite bathrooms that were beautifully kept. Only twelve pitches which were very spacious. The site was easy to find and easy to get onto your pitch. The grass was kept tidy and so were the bins and chemical disposal area. We had a fully serviced pitch which also included TV hook up. Carol & John were the resident 'helpers' and were extremely friendly. We had mixed weather but found plenty to do. Some great walks even if a bit hilly. There is a shortish walk to nearby Skenfrith Castle straight from the site which was great to blow the cobwebs away. The New Inn served great food at very reasonable prices and had a lovely charm to it. A tiny criticism would be that the shower block was a bit chilly but as long as you didn't dawdle it was not a problem. We will definitely be returning again.
Just had a wonderful 4 night stay over Easter at Three Castles. The site was immaculate, toilets and showers were 5* and very, very clean. This was my first stay at this site and I was so impressed, I have just booked another in August. Great area for walking and nothing is more than 11 miles away. The only downside (for some), my O2 mobile signal was rubbish which meant I couldn't be contacted - Oh what bliss!
A big thank you to the owners for the card and Easter eggs on Easter Sunday morning, thank you to the wardens for being really healpful and thank you to Ed for your fresh free-range eggs at £1 per half dozen.
We have just returned from a fantastic 5 night stay at The Three castle caravan site.
On arrival we were met by Karen & John who were very welcoming & helpful. The site is well kept & peaceful.
The shower block is of the highest quality & very clean. In the Shower block there is good information about local attractions, TV room, washing up and washing facilities.
On Easter Sunday we received a card & Easter eggs which just goes to show the detail that the owners give to their visitors.
We shall be returning to this site as it is top notch.
Just returned from this small peaceful site in our folding caravan. The facilities are first class, apart from the odd spider.
Wardens could not have been more helpful and we enjoyed our daily visits from Max the dog.
Excellent shops in nearby Monmouth, and the Angel pub at Grosmont, 4 miles up the road, is to be recommended for food and drink. The locals are very friendly and welcoming.
Please be aware that this is an Orange mobile signal black spot, it makes for a peaceful break though.
Absolutely beautiful area of the UK to visit in stunning rural location. Lots of local places to visit, we ventured a bit further too into Cardiff and Hereford.
Campsite not recommended for those people who don’t have or want a dog sat with them constantly. My husband, who really doesn’t like dogs was put off by having Max sat licking his bits while we were trying to cook and although Little Max the 15 year old terrier was a pleasant and friendly dog we weren’t impressed that we found two pieces of dog poo on our pitch on arrival and various others on the field during our stay. Because of this alone we won’t return to this site.
Shower block new and the concept was a great idea, but it was filthy. My husband emptied the mop bucket to find a thick layer of sludge in the bottom. The bucket had obviously not been cleaned in months. We both spent a good half hour cleaning one of the shower rooms and only used that one for the duration of our stay. Having said this we didn’t let it bother us and were pleased that there was always plenty of hot water,
There were lots of cobwebs, especially above the area where the hair dryer was, and the window in the washing area was filthy.
The laundry and washing up facilities were nice and we never had to queue to use any facilities.
We did not meet any of the owners, only a couple who were staying in a caravan and helping out on the campsite.
All in all, we loved our holiday BUT the following things spoilt what could be an idyllic place to stay:
• Dogs were allowed to roam free (including the owner's dogs) with the inevitable results of dog poo on the camping field.
• Facilities Dirty
• Although plenty of information leaflets on tourist attractions, no info on where the local shop/pub/petrol station was.
• Our pitch had an apple tree on, looked lovely but meant the tent was full of wasps, this improved when we picked up rotten apples off the floor (this should have been done before we arrived)
The Positives where:
• Lovely Rural Location
• Reasonable Sized Pitches
• Large bathroom style shower rooms
• TV Room with book exchange
• Nice local pubs (drive though, the roads are too dangerous to walk along)
In all the site wasn't bad but I don't think it's for us so won't be visiting again, Just wish the facilities had been cleaner and the owner cleaned up after their dog.
Stayed here August bank holiday weekend to test out our new tent and equipment. We were on plot 6 which was very spacious and had plenty of room for our tent, porch, and gazebo.
The site is adult only which meant it was lovely and quiet; the only noise we had was running water in the stream, birds and the occasional car on the road which runs alongside.
The facilities were great and kept very clean, set in the centre of the 12 pitches it was a few yards from each one, so you weren't disturbed with people walking past. There is three spacious shower rooms each one with its own toilet, vanity area and powerful shower; and a fourth separate toilet; so we never found ourselves having to queue up and wait.
There is a washing up area and separate lounge area.
Max, the owners extremely friendly 15 year old terrier, was always around to make sure you weren't lonely and loves barbecue chicken!
All in all a lovely break;
We have already rebooked for our return camping weekend for Easter 2012.
