We have recently bought a caravan on this site and during the 5 weeks we have been there, John Cullen and his friend, Ian, have been working non stop to get the site in top shape ready for this season.
I find this place extremely relaxing, friendly, reasonably priced and a lovely place to be for peace and quiet.
It has outstanding views across the valleys, plenty of space to excercise your dog (if you have one) and the caravans have a good space between each one.
John Cullen and his family have been exceptionally helpful and friendly. They have not tried to rip us off, nor do they overcharge for gas and electricity. The electric has never gone off, nor the gas, and the water is lovely.
I cannot believe what some people have said on this website about Pen-y-Wern. I would recommend it to anyone, in fact, I have.
If you want a site that has all singing, all dancing facilities, then go and look elsewhere, but be prepared to pay the price. If you want a nice peaceful break from whatever else you do in life, then come to Pen-y-Wern.
When we looked at the vans John had for sale, every one was a good price, every one came with site fees paid until October, and John was completely honest with us. We do not need to update the caravan unless we want to. We have been allowed to corden off our own little garden space so that I can let my dogs out in the middle of the night without having to go out in the cold in my pyjamas to walk them, we can park our car right outside our van and have found nothing wrong with the bin area.
All in all, I am absolutely thrilled with Pen-y-Wern, John Cullen and his family, even the chickens and guinea fowl, and cannot wait to get back every time we come home for the post and pills!! read more
