Why stay here ...

The Gatehouse CL was originally a toll gate built in about 1830.

It is found in a very quiet road with a private, sheltered and level site, with hard standings and surrounded by trees.

Access to the Miners Walk (the old coal railway line) is opposite the site which is great for dog walkers, so well behaved dogs are welcome.

Klgetty village is a 5 minute walk away and has a petrol station, bakery, supermarket, chemist, take aways and other shops. Also not forgetting the Begelly Arms Hotel at the end of the road serving good food.

We are 4.5 miles from Tenby and 1.5 miles from Saundersfoot with lovely beaches and harbours.

National Express and local bus routes stop at the end of the road and the train station is 0.5 miles in Kilgetty village. Entrance to the site is through a stone gateway allowing access to even the largest outfits with care.

Advance booking is recommended for peak times as we have many regular visitors.

We hope you come and visit us and do not forget to ask for your welcoming cup of tea!

A superb welcome to this gem of a CL

The Gatehouse
Just had a wonderful stay at this beautiful CL site. With a warm welcome from Pam with a tray of tea/coffee on arrival, such a lovely touch. The site has the benefit of shower/ toilet facilities and all pitches are well spaced. The location is perfect and both Tenby and Saundersfoot can be reached with ease. Supermarket ,garage ,bakery and takeaway/restaurants all in close proximity too. We didn’t have the best of weather on leaving so Pam and Geoff guided us safely off our pitch too. Always going out of their way, they’re perfect hosts. We can thoroughly recommend this CL and will be returning for sure.

Also mixed feelings

The Gatehouse
We too had mixed feelings about this site but maybe for different reasons. We are motorhomers and we spend a lot of time researching an area to ensure all amenities and facilities are close to hand. Location very good, great for bus, train, shop, takeaway (didn't use) and walks. However, both nearby pubs were very disappointing, nearest one, no dogs inside, the other did not look inviting (run down) so we didn’t try either. The site itself was sheltered, flat, spacious and pleasant, the owners were friendly but maybe a bit too friendly for us. Instead of being left alone in private, they were always around, some campers perhaps like the company but it all felt a bit "too personal" for us. The toilet, shower & waste disposal were all in their actual garden, not ideal and rather basic. No hot water in the sink, shower not clean and shared with huge spiders. Also, the walks to the beaches were definitely further than suggested and very steep. We are both in our late 50’s and fit but it took longer than the suggested 45/50 mins and was more like 3 miles on our computers! Check Google maps first. Priced at £22 a night with electric, seems to be the going rate in view of the current fuel price increases but not worth paying anymore.

Mixed feelings….

The Gatehouse
Booked a motorhome pitch 2 months prior to arrival. Took the available they had and booked our holiday around the dates. Arrival - greeted by Geoff, showed us around the site. Where to get water, our pitch, facilities, local walks, maps, pubs, attractions etc. However, there were already 6 other outfits on site, one of them being no more than 1 meter away from our assigned pitch. No explanation as to why there were 2 extra pitches on site and why we were sharing our pitch with another couple in their van with a barking dog! Not letting this ruin our stay we carried on setting up and having a nice stay. Our pitch - level hard standing with electric hook up, nice grass area, well kept and peaceful. However, we had to share the pitch for the entire 6 night stay which is unacceptable in our opinion. Absolutely no TV signal available. This is NOT variable signal availability as stated on the website. This is not a problem to us but would have been nice to know when booking, Speaking to the other residents on the site, they too had no tv signal. For motorhome, disposal of the grey waste is a bit of a faff! A makeshift guttering piece is available to position underneath the van and aim in to a manhole…it’s ok. Shower and toilet on site all ok but had to squash the flies and bugs before using!! Location - The site is in a good location, with a nice local pub 2 min walk away that does great food. All mains around £10. Easy 50 min walk to wisemans bridge and Saundersfoot. 30 min cycle ride to Tenby. All lovely places to visit. Overall, a friendly host and a nice stay. Maybe check the amount of people staying if you are expecting a CL site that has 5 pitches.
