Wow!

This is such a great CL. Very clean, spacious. Fantastic views & great walks to probably the best beaches in the UK. Really helpful owner who helped us out when we had issues with our electrics. Loved it so much we stayed on for an extra 2 days, which the owner was very kind & accommodating about. Definitely one of the best CL’s we have stayed at, & one we are absolutely returning to (hopefully he will have us back!).

Wonderful CL!

If you’re looking for a superb, quiet site surrounded by nature in a beautiful setting with a lovely, lovely owner, then this is the place for you. Pitches are hard standing but with plenty of room to put up a canopy or awning onto the grass alongside if that’s what you’d prefer. A walk to the beach of Rhosilli Bay is about 15 - 20 minutes and there’s a bar and little shop there. The local pub is good for food and about a 10 minute walk. We were surrounded by nature and bathed by birdsong. Thank you, Andrew for such a lovely break. Recommended!

Best CL we have stayed st

We have been to many CLs around the UK and this one is the best for what we like. So peaceful - fields of sheep all around. Right on the side of Rhossili Down with free roaming sheep, cows and ponies. Access straight from site to the downs with a 20 minute walk to Rhossili bay beach which was dog friendly. Easy to drive to Rhossili for the Worms Head and back towards Swansea for other bays like Pobbles Bay to see the Three Cliffs. Only downside was leaving! Visited on April 2024

Superb CL

Just stayed 3 nights here as part of a 2 week tour of South Wales. We generally only use CLs now and prefer the basic ones without showers etc and this was a little gem! Approach road is narrow although short and you’re welcomed at the gate by a sign telling you which pitch you’re on. We had no.3 which was a level hardstanding. It’s a big wide open site with plenty of space between pitches and amazing views. The Kings Head pub in Llangennith is a 20 min walk or 5 min bike ride which was great fun! Superb atmosphere and lovely food and beer. Bus stop is by the pub which we used to go into Swansea for the day. Bike ride down to the beach is only 1.5 miles too which is great on a sunny summers day. We thoroughly recommend this CL for regular CL goers

Peaceful site with outstanding views

We visited Barraston Hall Farm for 7 nights in June. Unfortunately, we arrived in 50mph gusts and torrential rain but once set up and safely indoors, we could see the absolutely beautiful view down the valley to Llangennith village and across Rhossilli downs, to a glimpse of the sea. You can get onto Rhossilli Downs from behind the farmhouse with access down to the sea or to the village of Rhosilli three miles away. We ate at the King's Head pub in Llangennith, the food was very nice and plentiful with good service and atmosphere. The pub is within walking distance from the farm. We visited LLangennith, Port Eynon, Rhossilli, The Mumbles, The Worm's Head & Broughton Bay. This was our first trip to The Gower Peninsula and will not be our last. Ellen (the CL owner) and her husband were very helpful with local knowledge and nothing was too much trouble for them if we needed any advice. We were very happy with the CL. It was fully booked when we were there and beyond. This is a very popular CL and we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Lovely site, spacious pitches

Lovely site with very great views. Well kept and very quiet. The pitches are all very spacious. Easy access to nice coastal walks across Rhosilli Downs or down to the beach. There’s a cafe & small shop in the big caravan site by the beach and this also has a car park which charged £5 for the day. The food in the Kings Head pub wasn’t bad when we visited. Don’t be put off by some of the reviews: there’s now a new Elsan point and while you do see some farm machinery on the way in, it is a working farm! Within a couple of days of arriving, we both said that this is a site that we’d like to return too, if we revisit the Gower.

Tranquil site with beautiful views

We spent four nights at this lovely rustic site. Once parked up we didn't drive again until we left. Good level pitches each with hook up and a tap. Area great for walking and we used the local bus a couple of times. Can't wait to go back.

Outstanding!

If you want a site with tranquility, endless beach and coastal walks straight from the site including a village pub in walking distance, great views, and welcoming owners who leave you to get on with your stay unfettered, then look no further than Barraston Hall Farm! Andrew and Ellen have worked hard to create a wonderful site with large, spacious pitches which are very well kept. Each pitch benefits from a hard standing as well as EHU, wooden picnic bench, water tap and views in every direction - a real luxury for a CL. This is a working farm so you would expect the odd "farm machinery" to be present. We have stayed in both Summer and Winter and always thoroughly enjoyed the sheer peace and quiet with our 2 dogs along with the wonderful scenic walks straight from the doorstep. Overall a wonderful CL, Thanks as ever, for a brilliant stay!

Rather dissapointed

We had a lovley position at top of sloping field with good views and we were looking forward to our stay. The following morning we decided to give 10 min walk to the beach a try with the dogs but it was more like 25 mins and due to the rocky uneven path its is not suitable for elderly or anyone not used to walking on rough areas. We made it to the beach but decided to take the road back which was much longer but a much easier walk. The service area was neglected and the bins were not emptied regularly with rubbish spiling out. The toilet disposal was via a rusty manhole cover with galvanized wire handles. On the approach to the camping field there was builders materials and old rusty farm equipment scattered in the field and in front of us was an old neglected static caravan generally needs a bit of time and attention. The hard standing was dark loose material which carried into the motorhome on both ours and the dogs feet. The saving grace for us was the tranquility, views and the local village was very pleasant but we wont be returning. This is such a shame as the position is really nice and it could be amazing.

A gem

A beautiful CL. We happened to be there during the glorious heat wave. A peacful place to be with great views over wonderful country side. We had glorious walks down to the beach, all of a 10 minute through the back gate over the downs and onto Rhosilli beach. We walked along the beach up to Rhosilli for breakfast and back again before it got to hot. The sea was warm!!!! The beach is about 3 miles long so great for the dogs. Thee beauty of this CL is each pitch has its own water supply which makes a huge difference. Pitches are flat and hard standing again a real plus. The owners are friendly and recommended some lovely places to visit and eat. There is a pub up the lane but the best pub was the Britannia Arms about a 10 minute drive away, fantastic food. We had such a wonderful peacful week we will definately be back.
