Back from Pembrey
We are a couple in our mid 50s. On arrival there were only three pitches available, we went for the best one, but tbh there wasn't a lot to choose from. Some of the pitches are great, spacey and some are squashed and shady. With hindsight we wish we hadn't put up the awning and moved pitches, our mistake. We were right next door to the bins/CDP/ glass recycling. It really is about time the CC put recycling near the main gate, we were really fed up with the banging and crashing of glass being launched into the bin. Our pitch was en route to the toilet block, a great short cut, soon remedied by a windbreak in place, as soon as it was down, the cyclists, kids and adults and walkers were cycling/cutting through
The site is ideal for families with the country park a stone's throw away and a very long sandy beach. However no one goes to Wales for the weather, but anywhere worth going is a minimum of an hours drive away, there really isn't anything local to visit at all.
It is the first time we have visited a CC site with more wardens than showers! Four just isn't enough and with such poor pressure it takes twice as long to shower, be careful not to burn yourself on the hot water pipes when getting too close to the shower head. Also the locks were far too high for kiddies to reach.
One of our biggest bug bears was the milkman that woke us up every morning at 9am (we are on holiday!), tooting his horn as he drove round the site. Grrr.....
There are lots of dogs on site which is fine as long as they are well behaved, but we saw one couple with five! Surely it's about time the CC put a limit in place.
There is a donkey that continually brays through the night, it didn't wake me up but when I was awake at night I could hear it. I feel sorry for those pitched adjacent to the field where he stays.
At £30 a night for two adults we felt a bit cheated, the wardens were lovely, welcoming and friendly, just not the site for us I'm afraid.
