"We had a wonderful stay in this very peaceful location. The site has beautiful views and is very well kept with excellent pitches and facilities for camping.There are plenty of activities in the surrounding area which will keep us coming back for more.The warmth and hospitality of Peter and Margaret made our short stay very memorable - thank you."

"9.8.11 Just wanted to thank you for a perfect night's camping. The site was full yet we never felt crowded or had to wait for any facilities, and we woke well rested and cheerful to a beautiful view."

"A lovely campsite with super views, very well maintained and clean facilities. We loved our stay there and were made feel very welcome by Peter & Margaret. We look forward to returning next season."

"Our second visit was as perfect as the first. Many thanks to Margaret and Peter for a lovely welcome. We left feeling really refreshed and look forward to our next visit."

"Having just brought our caravan for the first time to this beautiful site, we have no hesitation in recommending it. We’ve enjoyed the quiet location, panoramic views from our pitch of Herefordshire and the Black Mountains, walks across the fields and many footpaths, and its proximity to Kington and Hay-on-Wye. Peter and Margaret give their visitors a personal welcome and look after their site with great care. "

"7.6.11 We would like to let you know that we really enjoyed staying at Penlan over the last weekend. The site was perfect for visiting the Hay Festival. We were very impressed with the tidiness of the facilities and the general layout of the field which gave everyone a good amount of space around their units. The views were stunning and the clear night sky must be a stargazers delight. Thank you also for a late night cup of tea and a look around your wonderful home. "

"My Fiancé and I stayed at Penlan for a week during May 2011. The same week at the Met Office issued a severe weather warning for up to 80mph winds… The winds arrived as promised and brought with them driving rain. It may have managed to soak everything else but it didn’t manage to dampen our spirits, and how could it at such a stunning location. We had read that the views were spectacular, and they are. Even when the weather is ‘less than perfect’. The grounds are very well maintained and immaculate. The toilet block is clean, tidy and never short of hot water. The location of the site is ideal if you’re looking to get away from it all, but not so far from civilization that you feel completely isolated. Peter and Margaret did everything to make sure our stay was perfect and you couldn’t ask for better hosts. "

"We spent 5 nights on this delightful site. It was so peaceful and tranquil we didn't want to leave. Margaret and Peter are a lovely couple who make you feel relaxed as soon as you check in. It is set in beautiful unspoilt countryside which is ideal for any walkers out there! ? It is definitely worth a visit! We will be back. Thank you "

"On returning to Penlan at the end of September this year as husband and wife,we were greeted with the friendliest of smiles and the warmest of welcomes.As on previous visits, we used Penlan as a base and due to Peter and Margaret we found it to be a home from home. What an amazing time we had there and we will be going back next year. If the season didn't end in October we would be back there sooner!!!!!"

"A lovely peaceful site, super views, immaculately kept. We had a lovely week using the site as our base. An excellent base for anyone who likes a small and peaceful campsite."

"Used Penlan Caravan Park just for the one night too get used to the new tent we had purchased as this was our first time using a campsite. When we arrived the welcome was really friendly by Magaret pointing us in the direction of our pitch which was plenty big enough and field had been maintained to a high standard. Facilities were excellent and kept clean to a very high standard. Would recommend Penlan to anyone wishing to visit the surrounding area excellent views from the site and the price was amazing value for what you get. Thank you for a great weekend Peter and Margaret will see you again soon."

"23/7/10 Thanks for such a relaxing 3 day break we had at your campsite. I don't think we could have chosen a better location for its views and friendly atmosphere"

"We went there the weekend of 17th July 2010.A beautiful, peaceful location. The campsite was clean and well maintained,the Proprieters very helpful friendly and amenable. Will definitely return."

"Quite possibly THE best Campsite we've ever stayed at ! If it's peace and quiet together with spectacular views you're after look no further than Penlan Campsite.There are plenty of walks from the campsite through some of the most beautiful countryside that Britain has to offer.There is an abundance of wildlife in and around the site including a family of Woodpeckers which can be regularly seen feeding.Although there's no shop on site nearby Kington has everything you need for your stay.We were made to feel most welcome by Peter & Margaret and can't wait for a return visit.Well worth the 3 hour drive from Southampton."

"10.6.10 Thank you, Peter and Margaret for a lovely stay at Penlan last week. What a beautiful site you have, we felt very welcome and relaxed and the children loved it. We hope to return again soon."

"Just arrived home from our 3rd visit in 2 years... And i must say it gets better every time. We spent a good portion of our stay enjoying the wonderful views from the campsite. Its an amazingly quiet and tranquil place to be. The owners peter and margaret are 2 of the nicest, most genuine people i have ever met. Thankyou so much guys we cant wait to see you again... Hopefully next yr! Elaine humphrey and darren taylor (suffolk)."

"we recently took our first camping trip at Penlan. Me, my wife, our 11 yr old son, his friend and our 2 yr old labrador. We initially got lost and drove all together 40 miles out of the way making our overall journey time over 5 hrs long...not good really with 2 kids and a dog. However the kids soon stopped complaining when we arrived at the site and saw the absolute amazing views all around us. The tent went up much to my surprise and we met other campers. The site itself is not huge but I think just perfect. Our labrador had a full field to himself which was just next door to the site where he could run his little legs off. Peter and Margaret are lovely kind and very friendly people who instantly made us feel welcome and the place it'self is beautiful...every part of it! We travelled into Hay on Wye for the best fish and chips as recommended by Margaret and she was right. We loved every minute of our stay and didn't want to come home. we look forward to our next trip to Penlan "

"A beautiful, peaceful spot to sit and relax. No traffic noise; just the sheep in the next field and the swallows as they fly past at break neck speed skimming the surface of the grass. I would certainly go back there - my only wish? - that it was nearer to my home so I could drop in for a weekend break."

"This is a really beautiful site - we camped next fields and glorious views... Facilities good - lashings of hot water - and clean. Walks round Brilley to explore with easy access."

"We were looking for a quiet and picturesque site not too far from home for our first trip. Looking through the interwebby I came across this little gem. To be honest it all sounded a bit too good to be true, but it seemed the perfect place to give this camping malarky a bit of a go. The tent was delivered on Tuesday, trial erected overnight,(luckily it rained all night) The following day, all dried out it was packed away. On Thursday I phoned and spoke to Margaret, and much to my suprise, (given BBC's promise of fantastic weather) there was a pitch available. So on Friday we set out! No hanging about you know! We did have a slight problem finding the site, but that was quickly sorted and it was certainly worth the effort. This was the perfect first camping experience, made all the better by this lovely little site. It is perfectly located, not totally isolated but well off the beaten track. If you are looking for a quiet & peaceful spot in beautiful surroundings..you've found it!"

"What an amazing campsite, the photos on your website do not do it justice. Thank you so much for your warm welcome and two very comfortable nights in your idyllic site. Incidentally, how on this earth do you keep the grass so perfect?!"

"May we thank you both for the most wonderful time. Your hospitality is second to none and the site is the best we have ever visited in our many years of camping. We hope to return in the very near future and will be recommending you to our friends and family. Once again very many thanks."

"This site is a real gem. It is so peaceful as all you can hear are birds and sheep. The views are fantastic and the owners are very welcoming. The site and its facilities are spotless. We loved every minute of our stay there and feel very fortunate to have found such a great site. Try it, you wont regret it"

"May 2009. Thank you Peter and Margaret - we arrived home feeling totally chilled out after more than a weeks stay at Penlan. A wonderful site with fabulous, peaceful views - but your relaxed and friendly manner made it all perfect."

"Dear Peter & Margaret, Just a short note to say thank you for a wonderful stay during the last bank holiday. You are a working farm with a great campsite too - how do you do it?? It was so quiet and tranquil, we felt at total ease letting our young ones do their own thing. More than adequate facilities and with a great atmosphere as well. We want to come back in August thats for sure! Best regards, Rob Wendy Jack & Billy "

"Having just ended our sixth successive stay at Penlan we can recommend the site without reservation. It combines peace, seclusion and beautiful views with easy access to scenic walks, sports and cultural amenities, a warm and friendly welcome, personally managed and well maintained facilities and helpful advice on enhancing your holiday from the owners."

"Just wanted to thank you so much for a glorious weekend on your farm. We absolutey loved it!! Though Friday was looking decidely soggy, it was more than made up by your welcome and kindness. Thank you for showing us to our pitch in such horrid rain. It was most appreciated. We hope to return again before the end of Oct0ber Spot and Charlie"

"Very friendly welcome from and lots of space between pitches which was great (numbers limited due to toilet / shower facilities which where clean ). Very quiet and it was helpful to have a fridge / freezer available for camper to keep drinks and food cool in We had two children who had great fun playing with the other children on site in what is a very safe area. Yes we where next the grasstrees and enjoyed looking at the moths each morning before they were released. Would love to go back soon and would recommend the site to anyone would wanted a relaxing and peaceful time (July 2008) "

"Dear Peter and Margaret Thankyou for letting me place my moth traps around your land this last week. We very much enjoyed staying at Penlan and would like to come back some day. The site was lovely and everything was excellent. We were made to feel very welcome by yourselves,"

"a real hidden gem! fabulous facilities and stunning views. great for visiting nearby national trust properties.....thanks for your kind hospitalitiy."

"This site is peaceful, with panaromic views of hills and countryside. There are many beautiful walks directly from the site. The pitches are well spaced so that it feels very uncrowded. The showers and washing up facilities are excellent. There is plenty of information available about local places of interest and barbecues and solar lamps available for loan. A great place to stay and relax."

"Fantastic site, wonderful views with perfect host and hostess (plus a beautiful cat and dog!!!) - would highly recommend for a break away from it all with lots to see and do in surrounding areas - thanks for a lovely break."

"Just wanted to say how much we enjoyed camping with you this weekend despite the weather. The tranquility and the lovely views were just what we needed. Regards Dip and Dawn"

"yes, we red the all the praising comments, we saw the the beautiful photographs, we heard about margaret and peter who would be so kind. and YES ...... it is all true!! what a beautiful site with a splendid view, what a nice and helpful people that margaret and peter, and what a beautiful surroundings! we enjoyed it. nan and tonia from de bilt, holland."

"Lovely and quiet site. Everywhere is immaculate and it surely has the most superb view. Ideal spot for visiting the surrounding area. We loved it and we will definitely be returning."

"We had a great time despite the weather. Lovely site for peace and quiet and the owners are very friendly and helpful - even rescuing those of us that didn't follow their very detailed directions properly and required towing out of a muddy spot late at night! A brilliant place for getting away from it all and enjoying some lovely views and wild life. Looking forward to another weekend away at the end of the summer. THANK YOU."

"This is a fantastic site. Small and friendly with clean faciities and stunning views. Highly recommended."

"Thanks for a lovely week spent on your site even if the weather wasn't billiant and we look forward to seeing you again sometime. Rick, Ellen, Nicola and Laura"

"How amazing that we should meet up with John after 35 years, at your site. As I said to him, if I hadn't asked where to empty the loo, the connection would never have been made and we could well of been on your site for the whole week withoout realising the others presence!! I should like to take this opportunity to thank you both for a wonderful stay at Penlan - it was a perfect week of peace and relaxation (Our first holiday for 19 years without the children) I am sure we will be back at some stage to do some more walking and sampling the tea shops"

"Great site, which as others have observed is really quiet and very relaxing. Facilities are good and views outstanding. Ask for a flat pitch if you are in a tent as there is a bit of a slope on part of the site (but its not a problem, I'm just being picky). The owners Peter and Margaret are v. friendly and helpful. All in all a good site that I look forward to visiting again in the future. Andrew"
