lovely site, lovely beach nearby, dog friendly

we have just come home from spending 5 nights on the site. The wardens are very friendly and accommodating. The site is spotless, the facilities are like new, so so clean, the grounds are also kept to a very high standard, and to think that it is quite a big site and very busy, it was full when we visited, you cannot fault it. We were on site 32, which I think is one of the furthest away from the facilities, it was lovely weather so the distance didnt bother us, but, if it had been raining etc. I think it would have been a different matter. If I had to find a negative it would be the no mobile phone signal, to think that there are so many vans on the site, I am sure it would benefit the site dramatically if there was a mobile signal, the tv reception is very limited, about 6 channel I think, but the main channels are there so no bother at all. The wifi signal is poor, we paid for a weeks worth of wifi, but it was down on a few occasions so we only got 2 days worth. The beach is only about a 10 min walk from the camp, so so dog friendly, and it is a brilliant beach, we were having a walk early morning and last thing at night couldn't fault it. Yes, we would definitely stay at the camp again, and would recommend it to friends, infact we already have.

UK Coastal tour

We have just returned from a 9 night stay at this site. We had an amazing stay, the site facilities are immaculate, unlike a review a had read before hand. We nearly didn’t go for that, so glad we dismissed that review! Upon arrival I knew that it was going to be good as the site reception area is abundant with floral pots and flowers, and so was the reception we received from the wardens. Our pitch was ideal for both facility blocks however we only used the first one, they are prestige, like new, as the wardens keep them immaculate. The site is very close to the beach and a couple of pubs, it is in a wonderful location to visit surrounding areas:-Towns, Castles, churches, and many more beaches. The coastal path is great. Make sure to pack plenty of water if doing these walks especially for the dog as the paths are very challenging. We are looking forward to re visiting this great site again in the future. Big thanks to all the wardens for making our stay enjoyable.

Perfect for the beach

Stayed here In June, lovely site,friendly wardens,good facilities, limited TV signal and the WiFi was a bit slow as the site was full. Excellent location for walking to the beach and visiting the numerous attractions in the area. Barrafundle Bay was stunning, Tenby was also well worth a visit as was St. DAVID'S.

Dogs and more dogs!

We found that nearly every caravan had a dog on board. Some caravans had two, three and even four. The barking and yapping was non stop. On several occasions the dogs were on site off the lead and those that were on a lead it was an extension lead so the dogs could urinate on awnings etc as walking past. The dogs were not to blame it was their owners! We went to several beaches around the area and there were dogs on all the beaches, so not a site to visit with children who want to go on the sands or in the sea. Not a site to visit if you want a flat walk to the toilet block, some pretty steep inclines to puff up. However, the site was well kept and the wardens most helpful but not for us too many dogs, dogs, dogs!

Second stop of our 2019 Tour

Moving on from Tewkesbury we decided to stay at Freshwater East as the site description said close to public transport and good for cycling. The site itself is very well maintained and the wardens are lovely. Facilities are modern and very clean. If you like beaches the setting is ideal and the area is beautiful. Firstly, we are no Trott and Kenny and on that basis the bikes stayed on the back of the motorhome. Electric bikes would have got you up the hill to the main road but the roads were so narrow only a proficient cyclist would have the nerve to venture out. A friend had told us we must visit Barafundle Bay and Bosherston Lily Ponds We have a 10 month old puppy and so long walks are not an option at the moment. We did a lovely walk to Stackpole Quay but didn’t feel we could push puppy the extra hour to walk to Barafundle. We asked the National Trust lady about motorhome access to the Stackpole Quay car park (meaning only 30 minutes walk to the Bay) and to Bosherston and we were led to believe it would be quite difficult due to the narrow access roads. Ah well, it was not to be. We visited Pembroke on the one bus per day that stopped outside the site. The bus driver was lovely and so helpful but it became apparent we weren’t going to get to Tenby on public transport. The nearest pub is The Longhouse but it does look very unloved. The Freshwater Inn was closed while we were there. The site is faultless, but unfortunately not for us. We left a day early to visit Tenby and move on to our next site.

Too many dogs.

This is a lovely site but too many dogs. We had to pitch near the childrens play area and EVERY morning we had to watch the dogs going to the toilet just outside our motorhome on a grass area whilst we were eating our breakfast. Not a pleasant sight. The owners couldn't be bothered to take them to the dog walk which was just a few yards further on. It has to be time for the caravan and motorhome club to restrict the number of the dogs you can take. On the plus side, the site is well situated for lovely walks along the coast and access to lovely beaches. We will return but next time we will try to select a pitch actually overlooking the dog walk so that we don't have to witness the dogs going to the toilet whilst eating our breakfast.

Dog Lovers Heaven

We enjoyed our stay at Freshwater, the toilet facilities were very good, the site itself was also very well maintained. Mobile network signal non existent, so is 4g data network so forced to buy the clubs website log in, which was OK, but not great. ... But wait, this place is overrun by dogs. I have a dog so no claims of "I bet he's a dog hater". If you missed Crufts this year , you can always get your doggie fix at Freshwater. I do not drive 4 hours for some tranquility to listen to dogs barking and whining all weekend. Great site but kerb the influx of dogs guys, the bloke opposite us had 3 greyhounds turned up in a van with a big cage in the back, every time a dog and its owner walked past (which was frequently) , it let fly barking and growling.... Not acceptable and won't, for this reason only be going back. I'm wondering if i have joined a club, which is subliminally a back door for a Dog Owners club in disguise.

Perfect.

A fabulous site in a fabulous location. The site is meticulously maintained, by the team of helpful wardens. The location a few minutes walk from the beach is ideal for families too. The coastal scenery within a short drive is dramatic and beautiful. Greet place for walking, and relaxing. You can hear the waves crashing on the shore at night! Highly recommended

Midterm break at Freshwater East

Beautiful setting and immaculately kept club site a couple of miles from Pembroke. Fresh water east beach was a 5 minute walk from the site - a small, clean sandy beach that our dog and 14 year old son fell in love with. We were reluctant to venture further out from the site area in Freshwater as the weather was dry and sunny and a body board and wet suit from Tesco were all our son needed to while away the hours in the sea. The longhouse restaurant next to the beach served up a delicious evening meal at a reasonable price after a long day. We visited Pembroke castle and Tenby but returned to local beaches in the afternoon. We visited Freshwater West beach (where Dobby from the Harry Potter films was buried in the sand dunes) for a bracing evening stroll. National trust Barafundle bay was a must see beach too but be warned there are steep steps leading down to the beach. The costal path along the top was spotted with orchids and an abundance of other wild flowers. We estimated we were spending just over a tenner each a night for 5 star accommodation with the friendliest wardens who never seemed to stop working around the site to keep it looking pristine. A five star experience and a holiday to remember.

A little bit of paradise!

Fantastic location, Wardens always willing to go above the call of duty and very friendly. Facilities immaculate and site very well maintained. Some of the previous comments/reviews are obviously from very stressed people who want to find fault with everything! Would we visit again? Definitely YES and we would recommend this amazing site to anyone.
