Just returned from a wonderful week at Windy Hill Farm.
This is a beautiful CL, so much space and we were lucky enough to see some spectacular skies and sunsets.
We were welcomed and shown the usual bits and bobs but then left to our own devices though we knew where to find the owners should we have any problems.
There were two male and two female toilets, always plenty of loo paper and soap to wash your hands. The showers were excellent, plenty of space though you need 10 pence to use them.
You can walk to Wiseman Bridge from the site which is an easy walk there but it is up hill most of the way back. From Wiseman's Bridge you can walk through three tunnels to Saundersfoot. Saundersfoot is a lovely seaside town. It has a wonderful beach, ice cream shops, cafes, pubs but has a lovely feel to it.
Tenby is about five miles from the CL, an easy pretty drive. Lots to do and see and once again a wonderful beach. One thing we did find was that most of the beaches were dog friendly and there were life guards positioned on the bigger beaches. Caldey Island is a must, you can get the boat from Tenby and then need at least two hours on the Island, if not longer.
Over all we had a wonderful weeks holiday with fantastic weather.
Thank you to everyone at Windy Hill farm. We will definitely be back should we come back to this area again.
Lovely Site
Follow the directions in the CC Hanbook not Sat Nav.
Booking in and payment was very straight forward. £16.00/ night including the dog
A lovely site, very large short grass field. Plenty of room for just 5 vans
Some levelling blocks needed
A dog walking area just to the side of the field.
Can't comment on the WC & showers as we didn't use them.
After booking then read some very negative reviews was a little apprehensive but we were very pleased and have nothing to complain about
Enjoyed lovely 8 mile round walk to Saundersfoot via the cycle path to Wisemans Bridge
Nice pub at Wisemans Bridge, plenty of sitting area outside and dogs are welcome.
Thank you Mr Maddoxs , we will return. Julie& Mark Phillips
A Little Gem
Having read the last five reviews there is very little that I can add to this review as like me others just adore this site and the owners. We have been coming to Windy Hill for 21 years and never failed to have a wonderful holiday no matter what the weather is like. My wife and I are country folk and therefor appreciate the nature that this site offers. The peace and tranquility is so relaxing and the room for children to play is so large that noise is never a problem. Libby and John along with there lovely family go out of their way to make sure that all their guests are looked after always. We have been quite secretive about this site for many years,but feel it is only fair that others should share "A Little Gem". Thank you Libby& John.
Best Wishes

Lovely peacefull site
Being new to the motor home life, I booked last minute, and John and Libby were more than accommodating. Stopped 2 nights on the the main field with a service pitch and then moved down to the CL field, with all the rabbits, my 5 year old loved it. This was my first time staying on a CL site and my son and I loved it. Would definitely recommend and will return later on in the year for sure.

Elusive Middle Field
Last minute booking as we usually do, we were not able to get onto the CL field however we were able to pitch up on the 'Middle Field'. John was very welcoming and pointed us in the direction 'ish of 'Middle field'. Once done a full circuit of the 'Outer Ring' occupied by pitch owners (nothing wrong with that) we found the field. during our 9 night stay we saw lots of holiday makers doing the 'outer ring' circuit which made us feel less stupid. John and Libby went for their holiday 2 days after we arrived (nothing wrong with that). They left us in the very good care of their lovely daughter Rachael (known affectionately to us as Dunster). There are many local beaches not only picturesque but dog friendly too for our little Bob. The weather was kind to us which is always a bonus. Yes it was windy at times but we don't think it was any less windy off site so it must be mother natures fault. The few pitch owners I met were very friendly too. Sorry to any of them for Bobby not making the dog walk area on more than one occasion but it was always picked up straight away. We do think we would return just a note about the 20 minute walk to the beach - this is accurate on the way down to Wisemans Bridge, does take a little longer on the way back up. The walk is through some lovely tree lined small roads. You can also walk along the beach from Wisemans to Saundersfoot (tide allowing). If the tide is in then there is a proper foot path with 3 little tunnels in it to get to the same destination. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, thank you once again. John, Libby & Dunster. X

Rabbits Galore
What a lovely site , we stayed here spring bank holiday 2015 . This is the second time and we are still impressed with how well presented it is a large field big enough for a dozen caravans let alone 5 all of it mown like a lawn ,We arrived on Thursday evening and as usual received a warm welcome . We were the only van on site that evening and we were entertained by at least 12 rabbits playing and grazing on the field what a pleasure !. The facilities are great and yes there are a lot of signs but at least you're not left wondering what you can and can't do .As for the entrance to the site we have a twin axel 26 ft long Bailey Unicorn and had no trouble turning in or out of the site it's just a matter of positioning your vehicle correctly Thanks again for lovely break

Lovely Site!
Stayed 5 nights over Easter (2015), slightly unfortunate with the weather; it's not called Windy Hill for nothing! That aside the site is really good, excellent facilities, John and his wife are really nice, and when the clouds parted and the wind dropped it was really beautiful :)
There's a small playground for kids including a baby swing - note that only foam balls are allowed onsite to avoid vehicle / caravan damage.
What with the 40 to 50 MPH winds sweeping the UK the day we arrived we took it slow, avoided the M4 / Severn Crossing and ended up arriving just after 9pm; we had phoned ahead and this wasn't a problem. Will be returning here in the future although probably during the summer holidays.

A lovely Dog and child friendly site
We stayed at Windy Hill in Aug 14 with our new born baby, 5 year old boy and our dog. This was our second time at Windy Hill. We love the big open field which lovely and quiet. Waking up in the morning to rabbits and pheasants on the field. John is lovely. The site has rules which keep our children and our belongings safe. Oggy was barking one afternoon when we were out. She was in the awning on a long lead. John came down and put her in her crate for us. He later came to us and asked if we minded. of course we didn't and felt bad that the dog had been barking but it was due to somebody playing ball next to the caravan which is not permitted and they were asked to stop playing. If dogs are off the lead you will be asked to leave if you do not abide by the rules which I completely agree with when young children are around playing just incase. The play area is lovely and has a baby swing which is very well kept. Its a must see site with a nice walk to saundersfoot and Wisemans Bridge. We will be back another year. Thankyou John for a lovely holiday. We hope you are well.
Good location, but didn't like approach
This is a lovely large mown field with a children's play area, ladies and gents toilet and showers. Showers take 10p coins, but found you would need 30p-40p for a shower. Directions in the book say to turn left at the signpost for Sardis, there is no sign there now, so be careful. We ended up going through Kilgetty to the roundabout to go back and look again. The Iron Man challenge was on the day we arrived, but as we do not know the area were not aware until we were almost there and came across numerous road closed signs. Majority of the local roads were closed as well as the A4075 and A478. We were travelling from Haverfordwest direction and had to divert to St Clears. If we had been told of this event by the owners when booking, we would have arrived a day earlier or a day later as we felt we wasted a day of our holiday. All roads to Tenby and Saunsdersfoot were closed on the day we arrived. The access road is narrow with some passing places, but this road is also used by local buses. The entrance is also a tight turn, so although it says no maximum outfit length, we would disagree as we scraped our caravan on the brick wall when trying to turn right into the site. It is a very tight turn. On leaving the site, we chose to turn right of the site and drive down to the church to turn around so that we could leave the way we arrived. After pitching and levelling, we noticed that there was a very small sign on the electricity point to say not to pitch within 4 metres of this point or you could be asked to move. We weren't asked to move, but if this is a rule, then it should be pointed out before pitching and levelling. Agree there are too many signs. Why not put them all on one notice board. Commercial site adjacent, but no noise from here. Slight traffic noise at night from A477, but we are used to living in a very quiet road where we don't hear any traffic noise. Probably wouldn't bother most people.
August Bank Holiday week 2014
Our stay during late August was very enjoyable. We loved the quiet site and the space available. We were also happy that the pitch we chose was secluded and level. The welcome on our arrival was nice and friendly and we were able to select the pitch we preferred too!
The facilities are good for the CL site, although the toilet block was somewhat tired. Showers were within the toilet block, but were nicer. We liked the area as it is close to Tenby and West Wales. The directions were good to the site with a tight left hand turn and a road to the site that was a little narrow in places, but we didn't have any problems.
Overall I would recommend the site as it has everything needed for an enjoyable stay.
