Peaceful and quiet ????
Chose this site for a week in September as it was described as peaceful. When we arrived, all the grass pitches were closed and there was little choice of pitches to be made. If you are unfortunate enough to have to use one of the lower pitches (nos 1-14), be aware that immediately behind the hedge at the end on the pitch is a country road that is used as a rat run by people in the local villages to get to the A487. The noise of cars, vans, buses, LGVs, tractors during the day and boy racers at 2.00 am was very intrusive and spoilt the stay. We knew that there was no dog walk on site and assumed that there wouldn't be a problem walking our elderly dog along the 'quiet' lanes but it was hair-raising at times (we ended up taking him the car to somewhere to walk him). The site itself was well kept and the facilities up to the usual standard but we left a day early because of the noise . (The later option of moving to another pitch away from the road was not practical - unpitching and setting up again in the rain and wind!). Also the lighting on the roadway especially at the far end of the site could be improved - going to the wash block was perilous at night, even with a torch!
Otherwise, the area was lovely and worth a visit, especially sitting on the promenade at Aberystwyth in the sunshine, eating ice cream.
