Our benchmark CL

First CL for us in over 40 years of caravanning. Usually aim for the CAMC or adult only type sites but needed a specific site in this general location near Ross-on-Wye that we wanted to explore. Reading all the reviews and we were hooked for sure and Rock point CL didn't disappoint one bit. First time also for us using our own caravan facilities but that turned out to be great too! Rock points waste disposal points were absolutely excellent so that all helped for sure! Just read the other reviews for everything about the views and where to visit - all true - brilliant views and area, loads to do and all close by. Netty and Ben......and the plethoro of fantastic looking crested ducks [same haircut as my young nephew - yep, I sent him a photo!] and geese and chickens and...phew!....I can go on....were simply superb! The welcome from Netty & Ben - wow! - what lovely people they are!!! Looked after us sooo well! The whole week for us was superb...oh yeah...nearly forgot.....last Thursday night...clear sky....Milky Way visible plus 2 shooting starts and 3 satellites......one satellite might have been a plane tbh, lol! Awesome!!! Definitely going back to see everyone plus the lovely new caravan friends we made on the other 4 pitches...lovely, lovely people! This site has also inspired us to look for more CL's too which has to be a good recommendation for North Point CL. All in all......perfect....thanks Netty & Ben.

A practically perfect CL!!

We loved everything about Rock Point. Ideally located between Ross on Wye and Monmouth with good access, this is a lovely and beautifully maintained site with well-spaced hard standing pitches with water and electric on each pitch. There are the most stunning far reaching views from every pitch. Ben and Netty, the owners are delightful and so friendly. They sell fresh salad leaves and potatoes from Netty’s polytunnels, eggs from their chickens and ducks and wonderful bread baked by Ben. If you are looking for a peaceful, clean and friendly site with amazing views, look no further!

What more can we add....

Having read the reviews for this site it sounded idea for us so we booked. ..... We were not disappointed. Everything has actually already been said about this clean, well placed, beautiful, serene, site. Every pitch has the most wonderful far reaching view of the rolling countryside. The ducks, geese, pet dogs and cat were all fenced off but we were able to watch and enjoy all of them from our pitch. The peace and quiet and pure tranquility of the site was made even better by the beautiful weather but we intend to come back in the winter too so we can see the changing country colours and views. The dark skies meant the star gazing was exceptional and to top it all, Netty (we didn't meet Ben unfortunately) is the most lovely lady, very interesting to talk to obviously knowledgable about the area she was born and also provided us with the freshest of eggs, wonderful home cooked sourdough and even some fresh salad leaves grown in their garden. As someone else has said, it would be very easy not to review this site and save it to ourselves but they have done such a good job on it that they deserve for it to become a great business for them. I would not be surprised if they become regular receivers of the best CL award, we will definitely be voting for them. Being sited on quiet country lanes, it is easy to cycle to the nearest pub, The Royal Arms, it is an uphill cycle taking about 10 - 15 mins and 5 mins downhill home. We cycled to Symonds Yet west all on country lanes too. We will definitely be returning as soon as we can. A very big thank you for providing such a wonderful site and not being selfish and keeping it all to yourself. We wish you well.

Superb

This is just the best CL we've ever stayed at. It's really quiet and well located for the Wye valley between Monmouth and Ross-On-Wye. The scenery is stunning and all the pitches have great views. The site and facilities are immaculate with the added bonus of the duck pond (we became obsessed with the newly hatched duckling). As others have said there are fresh eggs, Netty's very tasty salad and potatoes to buy plus Ben's sourdough bread is delicious. Ben and Netty are just the most lovely people you could meet. They were so welcoming and helpful during our stay it made us feel very special! Except they're like that with everyone!. I think Netty spreads some of her loveliness over everyone because everyone we met was lovely too. Absolutely faultless. (Netty you can do you happy dance now).

Super CL

As per previous reviews we were reluctant to review this lovely site for selfish reasons as we feel it will become too popular ! Ben and Netty are warm and attentive hosts who have worked very hard to make this a special place to visit. The views from all pitches of the surrounding rolling countryside are superb. Fresh eggs and home baked bread along with Nettys Delicious salad bags are available to purchase. The site is so quiet with no traffic noise at all and the only sound being the Ducks, Chickens and Geese And of course the natural wild life of the surrounding area. Thankyou Netty and Ben for making our weeks stay so special. Angela and Steve.

WOW what a great find

We have stayed on many good cl's before,but this is certainly the best.We debated whether or not to review because we would prefer to keep it secret.However on reflection that would be totaly unfair on Ben & Netty,who since opening in August last year have done an amazing job to get this project up and running.We received a warm welcome from Ben on arrival,who pointed out where everything was.The whole site is spotlessly clean,and very well organised.We were allocated pitch 5,and the view over the Wye Valley is to die for.Also the resident animals,chickens,ducks,geese and turkeys make for an entertaining backdrop and soundtrack.There is also lots of wildlife,buzzards,peregrine falcons,red kites,owls,just to name a few.Netty and Ben can always been seen around site doing jobs and generally keeping everything in shape.There are fresh eggs and salad bags to buy,and also plans for a shop on site to buy their produce.We visited Ross on Wye,Monmouth and Symonds Yat,which are all very close by.We also took a walk to the local pub,The Royal Arms which serves excellent food.We enjoyed a fantastic 3 night stay,but we will certainly be back for more.Ben and Netty's keen eye for detail and their hard work have really paid off.

Amazing views, lovely people!

This is a lovely CL site with the most amazing views over the family smallholding and the surrounding countryside. We awoke every morning to see the ducks and geese being let out and Netty tending her veggie plots. The electric is metered, but we had more than enough per day for everything we needed and didn't go over at all. The waste facilities are clean and well located, and there is a little honesty shop to buy eggs and salad fresh from the garden. There may even be bread, once this is up and running. The person along the road also sells lovely asparagus! We put up a bird feeder and loved seeing the woodpecker, nuthatches, tits and finches every day - great entertainment. Also heard the cuckoo and owl, saw skylarks, red kites, buzzzards and a sparrowhawk. The local pub, the Royal Arms, does a great Sunday roast and other meals, and a little further away The Yew Tree Inn community pub does an impressive range of ciders and holds quiz nights with a free buffet for £2, burger nights, pie nights, pizza nights etc and were very welcoming. There is so much to see and do - some of our favourites:- Hereford Cathedral, The Waterworks Museum which was fascinating, especially as we went on a Steam Day. The Brecon Beacons - we can recommend a trip on the Brecon Mountain Railway. The Big Pit mining museum was excellent and free, CADW Blaenavon Ironworks was great, and Llanthony Priory was so beautiful and peaceful. The 3 Castles - Penfrith, White and Grosmont Castles. Also Monmouth (make sure you visit the Courthouse and Cells) and lovely Abergavenny. NT Croome Park is a beautiful building with a fascinating history but you almost need another day to do justice to RAF Defford which was so interesting. NT Weir Garden is lovely - take a picnic. Eastnor Castle is a bit further afield but had a great Steam and Vintage Vehicle event. And make sure you visit some of the pretty local churches - Garway Templar Church, Kilpeck church. We stayed at Rock Point for 3 weeks and enjoyed every minute. There is a picnic table and plans are afoot to provide more facilities, which will be great (especially WiFi!!). Thank you, Ben and Netty, for a wonderful stay!

Fantastic Return Visit

Our first return visit to Ben and Netty priced just as enjoyable as our first. We were blessed with 5 days of early-Spring weather and the loveliest of welcomes from Ben and Netty. They have continued to develop the site with excellent hard standing and "privacy hedging" between the 3 lower pitches. On this trip we discovered the Pengethley Farm Shop. The steaks and wild boar sausages were delicious. The Londis, at Peterstow, is well stocked if you need routine provisions and conveniently, just down the road is the Yew Tree Inn. Owned and operated by the Wye Valley Cider and Perry Company, they provide an excellent and enthusiastic introduction into their bespoke range of ciders and Perry's. You may want to take a "nominated driver" with you. And, if that were not enough, you must meet Ben and Netty's latest addition, Eric the Boxer. Can't wait to be back.

Great facilities and a very scenic location

This CL is listed on the CL booking website https://clbooking.co.uk/, which makes checking availability and sending a booking enquiry easy and the comms from the owner were brilliant, email of full details, route and access etc and payment can be done by BACS, which I prefer. The site itself is very neatly laid out, with 5 hardstanding pitches. We were given pitch 1, which is a double width hard standing at bthe top of the site, which was handy as it was wet during our stay. There is water to each pitch and the waste water/tipping point was of a very good standard and kept clean. There are fantastic views down a valley from the site and it is very peaceful with virtually no traffic passing. The owner was very friendly when he came to say hello and was very helpful. there is loads to do and see nearby, Symonds Yat, Tintern, Goodrich (and other) castles, Forest of Dean etc etc. Electricity is metered, but even staying four cold days in March, with the electric heating on every morning and evening and all day one very wet day, we only went 'over use' by £3 worth, so the normal allowance appears to be ample for most stays. All in all, a really good quality CL. It has obviously had a lot of money spent to set up to a high standard, which is understandably reflected in the pitch fee.
