Date of Visit: May 2011 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Pajavan 3 reviews from this member

 We have just enjoyed a relaxing 12 days at the Woodlands. As on previous visits we have appreciated the wonderful location, spacious feel to the site and surrounding views and walks.

It is a handy walk to the local narrow gauge railway and the post office shop, Hafod Hotel for a coffee or evening meal and small shops. You do not have to travel to see spectacular scenery and enjoy beautiful walks.

We like to avoid the school holidays but there is a play area for children on the site and room to roam. Our grandchildren stayed with their mum & dad last year and thoroughly enjoyed their stay as they are outdoor types.

There is everything you need here though some comment on the shower facilities, they are adequate and loads of free hot water.

The site also gives value for money, and we are returning often. If you need entertainment and club life, then this may not be the place for you, but for those who like mountains, valleys, scenic beauty it is hard to match.

 We have stayed here at least once a year for the past 4 years now. Every time having great fun.

There is loads of space for the kids to play in and two different park areas.

The pitches are of a good size. Some of our friends have very large dome tents and they easily fit onto the pitches.

The toilets and showers are well maintained and considering the rain this year the toilets and showers were still very clean.

Only draw back this year is that the showers were often cold. There is a notice in the showers that explains that they may not be hot when demand is high and to try showering at a different time of day.

Reviewer: The Plumbs 2 reviews from this member

 This was a nice friendly site.

Facilities were clean.

I liked the fact that you could pitch caravans and tents together, which was ideal for us as we went with family who had a different unit from us.

The shop on site was well stocked.

Devils bridge was only a 5 min walk from the site.

The only bad point was that there wasn't any rubbish bins on the touring field, all bins were at the bottom of the hill by reception,

I think it would be a good idea to have some bins on touring field, having said this there wasn't any rubbish lying around, so maybe this works!

Would visit this site again.

Reviewer: The Currans 2 reviews from this member

 Just back from a fabulous relaxing weekend at this beautiful site. The surrounding scenery is breathtaking. The site is immaculate. The facilities are amongst the best of any campsite I have been, lovely hot free showers and hairdryers, numerous play areas for the kids, well stocked shop and a tea room/cafe attached. The site managers are always around and very helpful, nothing is too much trouble. Situated right next to the Devils Bridge Waterfall which is well worth a visit, also just a short walk away is the quaint train station which can take you into Aberystwyth on the steam train which the children loved. I would highly recommend this site and the three families in our group have all booked again for the end of August, this is a first as we never usually go to a site more than once as there are so many sites to visit but, both the adults and the children had such a good time we have all decided we would like to visit again!

 Friendly staff and excellent value for money.

The showers were a bit hit and miss regarding hot water as you needed to be lucky re: timing your visit.

We camped in the field without electrical hook-ups and it was handy for the toilets/showers but, as mentioned in a previous review, the rubbish bins were way back near the entrance.

Apart from these two minor points though it was a very good site and heartily recommended.

Reviewer: Jooost 1 review from this member

 Just back from a lovely relaxing weekend break. Myself my partner and another couple enjoyed two nights here. A huge complex with lots of facilities.

The pitching area was nice, the lighting was good, not too bright. The site was very clean and the noise levels very low, suppose not surprising given the time of year. The scenery is breath taking and would happily go back again

The only downer was the rubbish disposal was on opposite side of site. After reading reviews can honestly say the campsite have listened to the reviews regarding the shower rooms and toilets, they are now immaculate and have had a deep clean and are cleaned for around 1 hour each day as we had to wait as they were being cleaned. We spoke to the cleaning staff and they said that this was there new policy and must say left a positive vibe with us.

The local pub is only 5 minutes walk away and the waterfalls at devil bridge are amazing and a must, the 1 hour walk is very scenic but the steps seem never ending on the way back up. Well worth an ice cream over the road with some of the best local ice cream we've ever tried

Reviewer: BrownLC 1 review from this member

 Myself, husband and two young children have just come back from The Woodlands. We spent a weekend in our touring caravan and had a wonderful time. Was surprised to see past review about cleanliness of toilets as found them to be immaculate. The site is in a beautiful spot, quiet and ideal for my boys to run around. The owners and site wardens were very helpful and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. As my children enjoyed the countryside and park on the site we did not go out much but did take a ride into Aberystwyth (as the weather was amazing we even went in the sea!).We have just booked to go again in a few weeks and would recommend the site to anyone. 


Date of Visit: September 2010 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: 2646patricia 4 reviews from this member

 Stayed at this site for nearly a fortnight and we had torrential rain nearly everyday. We were pitched on a hardstanding / half grass pitch which flooded several times which left the inside of the awning soaking and slow to drain. You will need good sturdy pegs for the awning as the ground is very hard.

The site consists of mainly static vans in two locations and were very well kept.

The tourers/campers are in a field adjacent and to the back of the site. Very picture postcard views to be had with some great signed walks close by.

We hardly saw any staff during our stay which is not a bad thing sometimes! Only one washing machine for the whole site.

We have 2 dogs and there was only one dog bin provided for the whole site. The rubbish area is a walk away and so was the water/waste/ and chemical waste area.

We felt the toilet/shower block was a disgrace, it needed a very deep clean, better still knocking down and renewed. There was no where in the showers to put anything, no seats or curtains and your clothes got wet when hung on the back of the door. This lets this site down a lot. With a little more attention to detail this could be a brilliant site, we just felt the touring/camping areas could do with some attention and felt neglected.

We will not be back unless things were improved.

Reviewer: Trevor2110 9 reviews from this member

 Excellent site to visit Devil's Bridge. Staff were friendly and helpful which is a major plus at any site.

Hafor Arms only a few minutes walk,worth a visit. The Steam Train ride to Aberystwyth was fantastic,beautiful scenery.Aberystwyth is a marvellous place to visit. There's a cliff railway,lovely views at the top. The museum,which is free, is interesting and well laid out. Devil's Bridge and the falls equally beautiful.

As others have said, another washing up sink is needed but don't let this minor criticism put you off. No children with me,so can't comment on that aspect. 


Date of Visit: July 2010 Unit:  Campervan
Reviewer: Jade2605 16 reviews from this member

 Nice campsite, able to choose own pitch as we didn't need EHU. Shower block very basic - a portable cabin basically. Only 4 cubicles and has the grass had just been cut - this has been trod inside. Devils bridge water fall - amazing and the allow you to take your dog as well. Good shop and cafe. Friendly site staff - willing to help.

Plenty of nice walks nearby. Good base for visiting wales. A bit isolated if you like a pub within walking distance from the site. But overall a decent site. May come back if we are in the area.

Date of Visit: July 2010 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Ozzie1989 7 reviews from this member

 Once again a great stay at this site - we use it each year!

The people are very helpful - and also generous allowing us to swap a deposit on a caravan pitch with electric to a tent pitch when a member of the party suffered a problem with their caravan.

Very accommodating - allowing us to pitch caravan and tents together. When we arrived they sorted us out quickly and allocated us a corner pitch giving us plenty of room for our 3 vehicles as well.

Facilities were clean as always! It was quiet, being the beginning of July, so it would be a good time to go if you want to relax.

Reviewer: Dewsbury 2 reviews from this member

 Toilets and showers very clean, friendly staff to help and advise you on things to do. We went on a steam train to Aberystwyth, worth a visit. Also went on a lovely walk down road to see waterfalls it was £3.50 at entrance when we went back later it had a sign up saying £2. When we questioned man next day he said that it paid for man on the desk, when there is a group of you it works out very expensive to pay for a man on the desk so would recommend you go later for £2 but worth the visit.

Food was lovely in the local pub with beautiful scenery to relax and enjoy would go back again had one of the best weekends

Reviewer: Helen Mann 10 reviews from this member

 Just returned from this campsite, yes it is a pleasant site, but beware that non hook up pitches are not flat, it was extremely busy whilst we were there (whitsun holiday!) and not a lot of choice of pitches, despite pre-booking.

The showers were cleaned daily, but again because it was busy water was not always hot, it does warn you in the toilet block about this though!

Another sink for washing up would be most appreciated, and also watch when you push the cold taps down - in toilets too water is very forceful, splashes everywhere and you can get wet!

Also rubbish bins could be located closer to the tourer / tent pitches quite a walk down to the rubbish site.

If you need to refreeze ice blocks the shop will do them for you,for a donation of 20p per block to the air ambulance fund, check shop times though!

Didn't use play areas, but smaller kids seemed to appreciate it. 


Date of Visit: May 2010 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Tockers 28 reviews from this member

 We stayed here in our motorhome for 4 nights and had a lovely time, the weather was good and there were tents and caravans and a few other motorhomes.

The site was well kept and very safe for children. The showers and loos are in a porta cabin and are in need of doing up. One shower was out of order. There is only one sink to wash up and a chemical disposal point but no drain to empty grey water so had to put down sinks which is not easy unless you drain your tank daily. There is not suitable drain for motorhomes at all. Water is close by but you have to go on the grass to get it, could be dodgy if wet.

Never went to cafe, staff very helpful and always busy as it is a working farm. The site is set in outstanding countryside and great for walking and cycling. It is remote but we will probably go back.

Reviewer: M+mrachel 19 reviews from this member

 Very helpful on booking and arrival. Bottom side of electric hook ups is flat and mainly taken up with motorhomes and yearly sited units, some areas prone to flooding!.

We were on pitch 26 which has a steady gradient and does require you to level your unit. This pitch had only recently been refurbished for electric hook up and was a little too close to the play area, ok if you have young children though.

The toilet block is a porta cabin and is cleaned regularly, but has signs of ageing and could do with a deep clean, (call me fussy). This doesn't put me off as it is situated in a lovely rural setting and was lovely to be so close to nature and the animals.

The tearooms were busy when we were there but never ate at them, the shop was small but adequate.

The 'Hafod Hotel' was just a 5 min walk down the road and served a lovely evening meal in the bar area as the restaurant was full. If you want Sunday lunch they serve that in the restaurant and is advisable to book in advance. If visiting in the night make sure you have a torch as it is a very dark narrow road.

Only approx 20 mins into Aberystwyth nice town with shale beach, small pier and cliff railway to observatory.

The best part is there is a 2pm check out!
