A good park but too isolated for us
We’ve just returned from a short stay in the run up to Easter. On balance we had a good time here. It’s easy to access and the roads aren’t bad at all when towing. The park is very well kept and the facilities are well looked after. The park borders onto a large country park which leads down onto the huge Cefn Sidan beach where you can literally walk for miles and miles. The pitch was good sized and well spaced and the new approach to the layout of caravan / awning / car worked well for us. We did have some overhanging trees which given the time of year didn’t cause an issue but I’d worry a bit about the roof of the van when the branches would be in full leaf.
Despite all the positives of the park and its staff the location was more than a little ‘isolated’ for us. The local towns of Burry Port and Kidwelly have very little to offer which means you have to travel to either Swansea, Gower or further into the main holiday spots of Tenby / Saundersfoot. Each of the these locations at about an hour away by car. The local area doesn’t have any real amenities either. The nearest shop I believe is 3 miles away and there isn’t a pub in sight either!
Sadly the weather had been horrendous in the run up to our stay so part of the park was flooded for most of the time we were there. Totally beyond the control of the club and, of course, the park staff.
In summary a good stay on a well kept park. If you’re looking for a walking and cycling holiday and enjoy getting away from it all then this will probably suit you down to the ground. If you prefer a bit more ‘local life’ then you’ll really, really struggle at Pembrey.
