Near perfect for us and probably others but…..

This was the third site in a holiday we were spending walking the Offas Dyke path starting in Prestatyn (using Chester Four Oaks as our base for the first week) on my 50th birthday, via Ludlow site over the jubilee, finishing at Chepstow (using Pandy as our base for the third week) on my mum’s 70th birthday. And for this final week, I have to say that we were a little concerned about having to use Pandy having stayed here years ago and mum finding the trains disturbed her sleep. However with the path passing by so close, it was ridiculous to go elsewhere. And what a good decision it proved to be. Yes the trains still ran although to our memory not so frequently and certainly not causing any more disturbance to our sleep then elsewhere when owls, road noise, early morning clatterers cause just as much issue. And yes the shower block was a proper throwback which wouldn’t have mattered - they were clean and the water was hot (mostly) - if only you could control the shower head. But the ambiance was great, the wardens friendly and welcoming and the dog walk fantastic for our energetic springer who had plenty left in the tank even after a days walking. So our recommendation is if you are walkers ( you’re too tired to be bothered by the odd train) and/or dog owners then I would suggest well worth a go. Families ( there is no kids area) and light sleepers maybe not. But if you do go, stand with your back to the loo block and look up at the hill. The Offas dyke path runs right past the small clump of trees you’ll see which gave us a memorable moment waving to the third member of our party in the site below. Update the shower block and we’ll def be back!

Intolerable Noise from Freight Trains

Having spent 5 nights at the Pandy Site I can confidently say I will never return. Whilst the site itself is lovely, the adjacent mainline train Line which runs along the site boundary has regular trains through the day and night which completely ruined our stay. Passenger trains run until after midnight and then from 4am you get regular Freight Trains that shatter the nighttime peace. We had night after night of disrupted sleep. Why no mention of this in the site description CAMC?

Time warp!

We first visited this site in 1998 when the toilet block was new, we have not been again until this week. Wow, it was like going back in time. The block though kept immaculate by the wardens does really need to be knocked down and started again. Cracked tiles, the good old little white stools and very small shower cubicles that you have to climb down to are not really acceptable when you are paying over £30 per night at this time of year. The water though was piping hot. There is no TV signal if you have an omni direction aerial, and no booster on the bollards. The club needs to spend money on this site soon. And yes the night freight trains are very loud.

Great site for walking up into the hills/mountains, very clean and great wardens

Firstly I would highlight the wardens - they are very friendly, helpful and keep the site in an immaculate condition. We stayed for a long weekend (Thu-Sun) and managed two great 13(ish) mike hikes from the site (used Day Walks in the Brecon Beacons). Walks 2 and 4 can be accessed without having to use the car and only add a mile or so onto both walks. We visited two of the pubs in the area for a drink only (my wife needs a wheat/gluten free food and both only offered "traditional" food). The Skirrid Inn was quaint and friendly with a garden at the back. The Old Pandy Inn seemed to be more of a "locals" pub. We visited both around 4.30PM after the walks so the atmosphere may be different in the evening. There is a railway line between the main road and the site which does block traffic noise but of course you do get the occasional train which is noticable but not too obtrusive. That said, we were disturbed by a couple of large freight trains that passed through in the middle of one night! So overall a nice site, we will visit again and a thank you again to the friendly wardens who work hard to maintain the site in a very neat and tidy condition!

Pretty Pandy

Site set in attractive location surrounded by hills and mountains. We did a couple of local walks from the campsite that were available from the information hut and the wardens, and took in part of Offa's Dyke. Shame there wasn't an OS map in the information hut though. Site generally quiet and peaceful but hubby found the freight trains at night disturbing. We took the campervan to Hay on Wye and were able to park ok in the large car park.

Lovely Site ! first time stay, but not the last

Beautiful Site. Fantastic welcome and stay. Was only one night. But will definitely return. Lovely walk for me and my very old Doggie. Nice level pitch . Very friendly wardens. And great Pub a stone throw away. We didn’t eat , but the food looked great. And other campers who did try the food , were all complimentary. I stuck to the local Ale, which was superb. A first class Campsite.

Pandy emic stay!

We stayed at this lovely site on the home leg of our 3/12 week tour of S. Wales. We booked it very much at the last minute and feel very lucky to have got in. It is a charming little site, peaceful and pretty in this interesting area of the Welsh boarder country. The man and wife wardens work hard maintaining the site to an excellent standard and are both friendly and welcoming. We did not find the passing trains intrusive, they’re are gone in a flash, and tranquillity restored. We continue to use our own onboard facilities and can’t therefore comment on the site facilities other than to say they appeared adequate and well maintained. Days out took us to Abergavenny, Hay-on-Wye, Monmouth and The Big Pit at Blaenafon. All very interesting and worthwhile. Won’t hesitate to visit this site again when next in that part of the world.
