We spent 5 nights here over Easter and were delighted with the site and the welcome we received. The site is especially beautiful with a fine view across the valley to the hills beyond and the variety of birds on the site (some aided by the feeders provided by the wardens) was very welcome. There are not many sites where you can sit in bed of a morning and watch treecreepers not more than 10' away, glance up to see a red kite soaring overhead and listen to the "cronking" sounds from a family of ravens! The location is excellent for touring not just to the many “attractions” of Mid-Wales but also the innumerable and stunningly beautiful small roads that wind their way all over the area with such variety of scenery, flora and fauna. It’s a magical and peaceful area and there is no need to drive far. The village shop in Llanbrynmair is useful for the basics and there is an excellent Co-Op in Machynlleth (about 10 miles away). The terracing of the site adds character and, personally, we didn’t find privacy an issue but we did feel that a more visible warning in the Handbook and web page about the potential difficulty for those who are less able to manage slopes (especially when using the service points) may be appropriate. Overall an excellent site and we will certainly return.
