Great for City Break
Excellent - for the most part!
We have been members of the Caravan Club for some years and have come to expect very high standards whenever we visit one of their sites. And Tredegar Country House site is of the usual level in that the site is beautifully kept, the facilities being kept clean and tidy. Whenever the facilities are being cleaned, usually when we wanted to go off site, there was always alternatives on offer. Good!! And the wardens, especially Alan and his winter replacement (Sorry, I didn't find out his name but he knew Newport very well), were very helpful and friendly. Great! But ... there really is some A48 road noise that is constantly present, although you do get used to it - until you become aware of it again! What really upset us though was the recommended cycle route around Tredegar House. We went to this site purposely to go on this ride, expecting to go around the house as well as some interesting cycling around the town of Newport to a canal centre. Well, it took us through some of the roughest parts of Newport, along streets where there were burnt out mattresses on the pavement we were to cycle along and wheelie bins in our way. Then we went through industrial areas that really weren't "interesting" or pleasant. Not like we were expecting. When we got to the canal, it was completely different, it being fascinating to cycle between the canal and M4 far below. When we arrived at the canal centre, we didn't fancy going back the 7 miles through town as recommended by the route but were shown by the canal centre a much better route back. Now we were told that the Caravan Club only took on this route because it was suggested / recommended by Sustrans. Well, my recommendation is for the Caravan Club to actually try out the routes they are going to recommend before they take them on. As a result, we decided to go home one day early which is a shame as the site itself as I say was really lovely. I suggest you recommend something else to attract members to your site.
