WOW what a great find

We have stayed on many good cl's before,but this is certainly the best.We debated whether or not to review because we would prefer to keep it secret.However on reflection that would be totaly unfair on Ben & Netty,who since opening in August last year have done an amazing job to get this project up and running.We received a warm welcome from Ben on arrival,who pointed out where everything was.The whole site is spotlessly clean,and very well organised.We were allocated pitch 5,and the view over the Wye Valley is to die for.Also the resident animals,chickens,ducks,geese and turkeys make for an entertaining backdrop and soundtrack.There is also lots of wildlife,buzzards,peregrine falcons,red kites,owls,just to name a few.Netty and Ben can always been seen around site doing jobs and generally keeping everything in shape.There are fresh eggs and salad bags to buy,and also plans for a shop on site to buy their produce.We visited Ross on Wye,Monmouth and Symonds Yat,which are all very close by.We also took a walk to the local pub,The Royal Arms which serves excellent food.We enjoyed a fantastic 3 night stay,but we will certainly be back for more.Ben and Netty's keen eye for detail and their hard work have really paid off.

Amazing views, lovely people!

This is a lovely CL site with the most amazing views over the family smallholding and the surrounding countryside. We awoke every morning to see the ducks and geese being let out and Netty tending her veggie plots. The electric is metered, but we had more than enough per day for everything we needed and didn't go over at all. The waste facilities are clean and well located, and there is a little honesty shop to buy eggs and salad fresh from the garden. There may even be bread, once this is up and running. The person along the road also sells lovely asparagus! We put up a bird feeder and loved seeing the woodpecker, nuthatches, tits and finches every day - great entertainment. Also heard the cuckoo and owl, saw skylarks, red kites, buzzzards and a sparrowhawk. The local pub, the Royal Arms, does a great Sunday roast and other meals, and a little further away The Yew Tree Inn community pub does an impressive range of ciders and holds quiz nights with a free buffet for £2, burger nights, pie nights, pizza nights etc and were very welcoming. There is so much to see and do - some of our favourites:- Hereford Cathedral, The Waterworks Museum which was fascinating, especially as we went on a Steam Day. The Brecon Beacons - we can recommend a trip on the Brecon Mountain Railway. The Big Pit mining museum was excellent and free, CADW Blaenavon Ironworks was great, and Llanthony Priory was so beautiful and peaceful. The 3 Castles - Penfrith, White and Grosmont Castles. Also Monmouth (make sure you visit the Courthouse and Cells) and lovely Abergavenny. NT Croome Park is a beautiful building with a fascinating history but you almost need another day to do justice to RAF Defford which was so interesting. NT Weir Garden is lovely - take a picnic. Eastnor Castle is a bit further afield but had a great Steam and Vintage Vehicle event. And make sure you visit some of the pretty local churches - Garway Templar Church, Kilpeck church. We stayed at Rock Point for 3 weeks and enjoyed every minute. There is a picnic table and plans are afoot to provide more facilities, which will be great (especially WiFi!!). Thank you, Ben and Netty, for a wonderful stay!

Fantastic Return Visit

Our first return visit to Ben and Netty priced just as enjoyable as our first. We were blessed with 5 days of early-Spring weather and the loveliest of welcomes from Ben and Netty. They have continued to develop the site with excellent hard standing and "privacy hedging" between the 3 lower pitches. On this trip we discovered the Pengethley Farm Shop. The steaks and wild boar sausages were delicious. The Londis, at Peterstow, is well stocked if you need routine provisions and conveniently, just down the road is the Yew Tree Inn. Owned and operated by the Wye Valley Cider and Perry Company, they provide an excellent and enthusiastic introduction into their bespoke range of ciders and Perry's. You may want to take a "nominated driver" with you. And, if that were not enough, you must meet Ben and Netty's latest addition, Eric the Boxer. Can't wait to be back.

Great facilities and a very scenic location

This CL is listed on the CL booking website https://clbooking.co.uk/, which makes checking availability and sending a booking enquiry easy and the comms from the owner were brilliant, email of full details, route and access etc and payment can be done by BACS, which I prefer. The site itself is very neatly laid out, with 5 hardstanding pitches. We were given pitch 1, which is a double width hard standing at bthe top of the site, which was handy as it was wet during our stay. There is water to each pitch and the waste water/tipping point was of a very good standard and kept clean. There are fantastic views down a valley from the site and it is very peaceful with virtually no traffic passing. The owner was very friendly when he came to say hello and was very helpful. there is loads to do and see nearby, Symonds Yat, Tintern, Goodrich (and other) castles, Forest of Dean etc etc. Electricity is metered, but even staying four cold days in March, with the electric heating on every morning and evening and all day one very wet day, we only went 'over use' by £3 worth, so the normal allowance appears to be ample for most stays. All in all, a really good quality CL. It has obviously had a lot of money spent to set up to a high standard, which is understandably reflected in the pitch fee.

Brilliant introduction to Motorhome living

We picked up our first Motorhome on Tuesday and were at Rock Point by Wednesday. We had called and spoke to Ben who booked us in for three weeks time, but I told him we were new and totally unfamiliar with motorhoming and he said we were more than welcome to come immediately if we wanted and he would help us with any problems we had. He was true to his word, lending us a water hose and grey water pipe that we didn’t have on board. He gave us valuable tips on our new hobby. The site is immaculate and Ben and Netty are gems. Fresh eggs and delicious home made soda bread went down a treat. We stayed 4 nights instead of the 2 we had planned and have booked again for April. Very highly recommended! What a great start to our new way of life.

Little piece of heaven

We were greeted with a warm welcome from Netty on a sunny but blustery day being assisted with the remains of storm Eunice. Pitched on an immaculate level pitch with stunning views. That night storm Franklin rocked us to sleep. Ben and Netty even offered to help us to a more sheltered pitch but we’re able to manage a quick swap where we stayed for the following 6 nights. The site is easily accessible if you follow the instructions that Ben and Netty send out and the site is pristine with fabulous views with water and hookup to each pitch. We would definitely recommend this site and wish them both the best for the future. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Just Perfect

We visited this site for a 4 night stay in late October. The site is pristine, with water and EHU on each pitch. The views, from all aspects are wonderful. Rolling countryside and distant hills. Ben and Netty are truly delightful people offering a warm welcome to their little piece of heaven. The pitches are mostly level but some leveling will be required. The gorund is sand, so drains well even after heavy rain but we did have some wheel spin in our Moho on leaving the site. We carry old mats for such eventualities and with these in place moving off the pitch was not a problem. The elsan point is quite possibly the cleaninst we have ever seen as is the rubbish and recycling facility. We had good mobile signal on both 3 and Vodafone. The eggs from the site are totally delicious and I would reccomend anyone to purchase them, even if you are taking them home. Ben and Netty are to be praised very hgjhly indeed for this CL, it deserves to be a huge success. We will defeninetly return when we are in the area again. There is no road noise!! During our stay the only 'road noise' was from the tiny lane which runs up alongside the site from the occasional tractor/farm vehicle. The weir at the bottom of the valley can be heard and is definitely worth the walk down to see it, it's beautiful. If you are looking for peace and tranquility, this is the CL for you.

What a CL

On arrival at the CL the first thing you see is the beautiful location with tremendous vista Ben and Netty are both exceptionally nice people and very helpful. The instructions supplied on how to get to the CL were 2nd to none, the site is layered so all have good views with electricity and water to each pitch. We stayed for 4 nights in October with heavy rain and wind battering our caravan, expecting the site to be very boggy but it drained very well however on our last night the rain was very heavy and we expected to have difficulty getting off the field but no the field although muddy was quite firm. During our stay we purchased some fresh eggs from the farm which were very tasty and on our last night Ben gave us some home made Soda Bread again very tasty. Would not hesitate to recommend this CL to all .

What a delight

Shame this was a one night stay as the site is in a wonderful rural location with wide ranging views to Symonds Yat and surrounding countryside from all the pitches. There is everything you need on site with water and electricity on each pitch and a solar light on the post. Pitches are level and the site is pristine. Great hosts too, couldn't be more helpful.

Lovely cl site

We arrived on 12 September 21, to a warm welcome by the owners Ben and Netty, this lovely new site, was just perfect for relaxing. The lovely ducks, chickens, geese and turkeys, were great to watch each day, and there are fresh eggs to purchase if you wish to, they were amazing. This site is situated near Hereford, Ros on Wye and Monmouth. There is plenty to do by visiting the local areas, we used our electric bikes to travel around, as we found this was the best way to explore, although we did use the car to travel to Puzzle Wood. Symonds Yat was a beautiful place, to watch the boats and kayaks. We enjoyed our stay so much, we ended up staying for the week. We will definitely return to this site, as we still had lots more to do.
