Good for families

nice site...but

We booked for 7 nights but only stayed here for 4 nights and we were really looking forward to our trip to the Gower. The site itself is lovely and the flowers at reception were fantastic as was the welcome by the wardens. The site is deceptively large with a mix of hard standing and grass pitches, toilets were clean and tidy, but needing some tender love and care as the paint / varnish is peeling off the doors and this doesn't look very inviting, especially when you are paying full summer rates. We pitched to the LHS as you enter the site but moved pitch behind the toilet block after the first night as we didn't like the overhead electricity cables near our pitch. So be aware if this concerns you too. The town of Gowerton is quite run down with several shops, supermarket and pub recently closed so the council really need to refresh things to attract visitors. You definately need a car/ transport to get to the gower or the site could be quite isolating as apart from the local town there is not much around. There was a good new coop where we shopped but this was a good 20 minute walk through the sites back gate. We did try the commercial pub but it wasn't a great experience for an evening out. We visited a number of beaches such as Rhossili and apart from a large beach to surf or walk theres not much there. The highlight of the trip was the visit to eynon, a lovely little resort with a few cafes and a shop but nice beach and good parking albeit 5 for the day, you can take a walk to the point with great views from the top. We shortened our visit and went onto Pembrey and Freshwater sites.

We have just come back from a 3 night stay at Gowerton and from what you have said about the doors with peeling paint/vanish, you will be pleased to know that they have now obviously been updated with toilet and shower doors finished with something like a Formica type, wipe clean finish (don't know what you actually call it but you would see it in most modern places now such as leisure centres).  The walls in the toilets and surrounding walls are all now tastefully tilled and am sure you would be pleased with the update.
