Well...where do I begin? 😂
We booked Waunbayvil looking forward to a peaceful, quirky off-grid camping experience. The location is beautiful, but unfortunately our stay got off to a very difficult start.
The pond pitch wasn't suitable for our VW California (under 5m) with awnings, despite the listing stating vehicles up to 9m. We simply couldn't make our setup fit. The host then directed us to another field, which turned out to belong to neighbours who hadn't been asked. Understandably they weren't pleased to find us setting up camp, but once they realised what had happened they were incredibly kind, allowed us to stay for our 3-night booking, and even brought us bara brith and vegetables the next day. Their generosity completely rescued our holiday. Thank you Helen and Jake!
The facilities are extremely rustic. The composting toilet was fine, but the gas shower was difficult to use - only boiling hot or cold after the pilot light went out, and the inside lock wasn't working during our stay.
We also experienced a wasp nest in the shower and what can only be described as a biblical flying ant event on our final evening (bad luck rather than the campsite's fault!).
This could be a lovely off-grid campsite, but pitch sizes need describing more accurately, and campers should never be directed onto neighbouring land without permission. The scenery was wonderful; the organisation unfortunately let it down.
