What was great?
Idyllic location about a miles' pleasant walk from the pretty little market town of Llanidloes in mid Wales. We decided to head there last-minute at the Bank Holiday weekend and found the site by location on the internet; a quick phone call booked our spot! When we arrived we were greeted by one of the owner's sons and told to pretty much go where we liked which was great!! There was one field with full hook-up and several pitches on the other field too. We don't use hook-up though so we were off looking for a wilder spot! The site was fairly busy but really filled up as the day went on and over the weekend in general, but there was still plenty of open spaces for ball-games etc. I saw the farmer giving rides on his quad whilst he was delivering sacks of logs (£5 a sack) and fires were encouraged throughout the site (off the ground or in a pit obviously,except for the beach). The river that runs around the edge of the site is good for trout and it is free to fish for campers. also suitable for paddling, swimming and general frollicking!! There is a well equipped campeer's kitchen with microwave, kettle, large freezer, fridge, plug-sockets etc for those that needed them.There were evenwhisks, corkscrews and other random utensils as well as some board games (good old Frustration!) This is also a working farm and we got to see sheep being sheared as well as studying the cows in the cow-shed...and them studying us! On the Bank Holiday Monday the field thinned out a bit as people headed home. We moved into a lovely little pitch right next to the river, the sun came out and the rest was holiday history...!

Even better if....
Unfortunately there were a few showers in the blocks out-of-order while we were there so there was some considerable queuing at busy times and a hot-water issue over busy periods too. It would be even better if there was a very basic store on site selling bread, eggs, bacon, ice etc.

What was great?
Beautiful secluded site in a scenic location, plenty of space for camping and field games, we given a fire pit to use which was a bonus, and made the week with the children really special. The river running by the site is calm, with shallow and deeper areas for swimming. Brilliant clean and modern facilities which included heated wet rooms and a kitchen with fridge freezer and a kettle etc. The kids loved visiting the farm and all the animals, and we will definitely be returning this summer!

Even better if....
