Absolutely loved this peaceful beautiful site,
From the moment we arrived the owners were friendly, helpful, and chatty. The site is small quiet, rural, but has everything we want in our holidays. IE clean toilets and showers, which the owners kept spotless, the showers were lovely and warm. We have two dogs which we felt were catered for well, ie the site is fenced, we were able to take them for a walk/run in the farm fields and track, (no farm animals to worry about.) locally. We enjoyed being woken in the mornings by cockerels and cows and the birds, just a very relaxing site. There is a lovely nature reserve just up the road we enjoyed so much we stayed an extra night, and will certainly be booking again when we visit family who live
Absolute peace and quiet
We were looking for a peaceful site in the countryside and certainly found what we were looking for here, we loved it and wished we could have stayed longer than our two nights in our camper van. We were welcomed by Roy and a site neighbour and also gorgeous farm collies Griff and Meg. It was lovely to find a shower and male and female toilets located in a wooden chalet style building, and all spotlessly clean. The site itself was immaculate, neat and tidy and grass mown, and the only sound was the occasional bellow from cattle in the field and clucking chickens....perfect. I'd taken my binoculars along and on our first walk spotted a buzzard and later a red kite which made my day as it circled in the sky for ages. As we walked along the lane we came across an old milk churn stand which made me feel quite nostalgic, as I grew up on a dairy farm in the south of England, and we had one just like it. I can well remember my dad lifting the churns up onto the stand for the milk lorry to collect. We were hoping to visit some places of interest on our second day, but the weather was quite cool and cloudy and didn't really improve until mid-afternoon, but we didn't mind because we just enjoyed the peace and went for more walks, having a lovely greeting from dear old Griff on our return. Griff and Meg are not allowed on the site apparently, but we would certainly welcome a visit from them to our van, they're lovely. Everything we needed in the way of facilities was here and we will definitely return if Roy and Jeff have a pitch available and hopefully get to see the botanic gardens etc.

Easy, Relaxed, Welcoming
Seeking a campsite close to our relatives we hadn't seen since before the pandemic, I phoned the site direct and spoke with Mr Jeff Williams, the co-proprietor, and an easier booking I cannot imagine. Given that this was the maiden voyage as a newbie Caravan & Motorhome Club member with our brand new secondhand Mazda Bongo and awning, this was immensely reassuring and made me feel welcome even though I was in Norfolk more than 300 miles away. We made the journey on 11 August 2022 in ferocious heat and arrived rather wilted, but were immediately made welcome by Mr Williams, his brother Roy, other campers, and the camp sheepdog Griff. As a newbie I haven't got much to compare it with, and there are many other reviews that outline the facilities. It's a small, cosy pitch though in the height of summer there was little shade ... except for a kind of fairy grotto at the bottom of the field which offered welcome respite. We stayed for three nights and would certainly stay there again. The Tafarn-Y-Peacock pub down the road on the six-ways crossing at Gorslas did a splendid family-friendly Sunday lunch.
5 Day stay
We called as a last minute stay and liked it that much spent 5 days here.
Gated site area with nice clean pitched and a lovely grassed area .
2 toilets and a shower in a cabin always spotlessly clean .
Site owners are very friendly, helpful and welcoming.
There are two lovely sheep dogs in residence and some chickens which all adds to how lovely this site is.
When in Wales we will definitely try to book a spot .. Thank you for having us
Amazing
A lovely quiet site north of Cross Hands. Great location for exploring Pembrokshire and Gower.
Very very clean facilities.
Well worth the 18 pds per night for 2 people.
Additional 5 pds for each additional adult was a bit steep.
Will return.
A warm welcome
We have visited this small site on 3 occasions now whilst travelling to and from Ireland. The owners are most helpful and welcoming. There is good and level hard standing for motor homes and caravans with electric hook ups close by. The shower and toilet facilities are very clean. The site is quiet with lovely views around and close to the nearest village. We can really recommend this site.
5 fab days at Dyllgoed Isaf
A superb CL in a great location - if you want peace and tranquillity - only the birds and cows will disturb you!
The shower and toilet was always spotless and the whole setup felt very safe. Grounds very need and hard standings good without having to break my back hammering in pegs. Very heavy rain on arrival but pitch quickly drained.
Roy and his brother Jeff are very welcoming and made us feel pleased to see us. No hesitation in recommending this CL
Great Site for a base to explore Brecon Beacons, South and West Wales
The site is easily found with access roads ample wide enough for most rigs, although approaching from six-ways, Gorslas is probably easiest to navigate from and is nearest to A48 / M4 at Crosshands. The access onto the 5 pitches is through a gate at the back of a gravelled yard - beware the 2 collies who frequently pop out from the driveway as you pull in!!
The views are nice for 3/.4 of your view, with 1/4 occupied by a large industrial fabrication / unit. It really isn't that intrusive. The pitches are generous in terms of spaces between them, although the hardstanding could be both longer and wider. Given the position of the building I could not swing my car on full lock close enough to the van and so parked half on the remaining hardstanding and half on the grass.
I found parking nose in gave us better views. The drawback is when VERY windy, the awning is thrown about and the wind comes through the valley. That said it was in gales unto 60mph and we are still here to tell the story!
The shower is electric and the shower tray, toilets and wash basin is very good for a site of this size. They are sited inside a wooden chalet style wooden summer house. They were kept clean and properly serviced. Also some local information and a few books to exchange etc..
As for the service points, the recycling seemed easy enough but over time the writing is hard to read and probably needs re-doing. If I were younger I could probably remember the information better. The Elsan point wooden trap door is held up by an old rubber bungee and that and the door may need a facelift. It works fine but creates the impression of being a little neglected. Having met Roy and Jeff who seems to run the whole thing I was impressed with the generally well-presented site and facilities and where I have commented otherwise they are only minor points to help. Isn't that the point of feedback.
Nearly there - there is no grey waste disposal and so you can run a long pipe to the downside undergrowth or empty your waste hog at the bottom of the site hill.
As for animals, there is no specific dog waste bins, but the locale, and fields make excellent sites to walk dogs. There is also a nature reserve about a mile along the road. As for cycling the Swiss Valley Sus Trans to Llanelli and links to the Millennium Path are a short distance from 6-ways. The route is flat, or gently inclined. Views are great.
Overall I think it warrants 4 stars. I would say 5 if there was a grey waste, dog waste bin, a slightly better door on the Elsan point and slightly larger hardstanding. None of these things would stop me going back, Jeff and Roy were very caring and attentive hosts who checked in with us violent storms, and were welcoming on arrival.
Thank you for a great 11 days.
Fantastic
Had the pleasure of staying over the August bank holiday weekend, very helpful on arrival beautiful location and so peaceful.Toilet and shower were immaculate and clean even had the pleasure of the chickens roaming the site in the evening. Will definitely be back thanks very much for a fantastic weekend.
