Long weekend and Dogs Day Out
Had 4 nights at Pembrey last weekend. Very nice site. Loads if room, we had a huge grass pitch at the back of the site, could have got 4 units instead of just one! I took some time to get used to the nearby Pembrey Country Park, it's a bit out of the way, no pubs or restaurants for miles. Very quiet, almost erie, ex RAF & Royal Ordanance factory, bit run down & forgotten in places and £5 to visit & park there when everything is closed is a bit much. Beach is nice, huge, deserted, windy - great views across to the Gower. Loads of walks, bike rides and the place does grow on you.
Anyway back to the CC Site at Pembrey just outside of the Country Park. It's very tidy, good clean facilities, fantastic wardens especially Bill who saved our weekend helping get the unit off the tow bar on arrival. Superb chap! Toilets on CC sites always amaze me. Just 4 showers in the Gents but 6 privacy cubicles with wash basin that few people use. Might be better turning some of these into showers. Other than that deity the site being full no queues of any note and pretty clean despite the wet weather.
Some of the hard standing pitches are a bit close together but as I said loads of room on the grass pitches around the extremities of the site. Lots of service areas to.
Dog enjoyed it as there were numerous walks and we didn't miss having an onsite dog walk. There was a brilliant dog show on the Sunday in PCP and was well worth a visit.
It's a long haul to a decent pub or for food but Sospan in North Dock Llanelli was great if a little pricy without a "deal".
Nice weekend but the surrounding area didn't do it for me, Pembrey village, Burry Port & Kidwelly a bit run down & we had to venture up towards Llandeilo to see a NT place worth the visit.
