Fabulous family break

Had a weekend break with family in 2 bungalows and a glamping pod. I was a bit sceptical, having seen recent reviews, but we had an amazing time. The bungalows were modern, clean and well equipped. The hot tub was lovely and very clean.
My family used the pool and said it was absolutely fine. The food at the bar was fantastic and all the staff were exceptional. My only criticism (and this is a very picky point) is that I don’t really understand why the 5 bed bungalow did not have bedding. Thank you for a great stay…we would definitely come back if we are in the area.

Bank Farm Tent Camping

First time been to Bank Farm. Kids enjoyed it and will definitely go again.
Clean toilet and bathroom.
Sea wasn’t to far from out pitch.
Swimming pool was very clean and everyone has to have a time slot which was good.

Large campsite for tents and caravans

Large campsite, on tranquil cliff site site with great views.
Large campsite for tents and caravans. Swimming pool and shop add some extra needed bits.
Cafe food was a good breakfast, bit lacking on service but never in a rush.
Swimming pool needed booking but gave an extra thing to do for the kids.
Location on cliff, above the village and beach was ideal; giving great views and a quick walk down to the sea.

Fab stay

Fab bungalow 37 extremely clean highly recommend.

School DOfE camping trip

Went here for DOfE silver camping trip lovely site and lots of lovely walks in the area and sunset at night is amazing. Staff at reception was lovely and really enjoyed it I’d recommend it to anyone doing DOfE or anyone that wanted to rent a caravan on the site xxx

Perfect

Excellent 5 star service from café/bar staff. No hassle, easy arrival straight to pitch (which was absolutely perfect) stunning views over the gower. Stunning location! All amenities were spotless and well managed. 100 percent recommend this beautiful campsite.

An absolute gem

We loved everything about this site, from the very helpful girl on reception to reimbursement of monies not used for electric!
Nice big pitches with amazing views over the bay, clean facilities with plenty of toilets and showers and a great swimming pool (covered when we visited). The club house was a bonus with friendly staff and really good food at reasonable prices.
The stunning beach is a steep 10 minute walk but worth the effort.
Thank you Brian and staff, we only had one night but will be back for longer next time

Great facilities

We brought our tourer here for a week over the august bank holiday. First time in the campsite recommended by a friend. The lines to get in were difficult to navigate with a caravan on the back, but we managed. The views were breathtaking, wish we’d brought some wood blocks to level out the van as we were wonky all week, but the views were totally worth it. Electric on smart meter was good, u get a refund on what u don’t use. We also purchased the Wi-Fi, which was needed as we had not one bar on phone signal or internet service between us. Our 3 kids (14, 14, & 6) loved it, plenty of space between guests for ball games etc. They also loved the pool & I literally couldn’t keep them out of it. As we were end of summer we could come & go as pleased with no booking required. (Be aware this meant no staff supervision, so u need to be there with your younger kids, even if you just watch). Luckily we were right next to toilet/shower block, & even though there’s only the block we never had to wait or queue. They were basic, but had what was needed (including a free hairdryer in the ladies). However they could have been kept a little cleaner. I seen the floors getting mopped in the mornings, but the shower cubicle walls & floors, definitely needed a good clean. The bar was nice with a pool table in the back & a park opposite. Overall we had an amazing stay & would definitely book again, the kids are already asking when we can go back. But again booking is a problem, website never brings up dates (making u think none available), but this happens with every date, & hard to reach on the phone lines, we tried for days to get through. Even the signs outside the campsite said “no room” however there were empty fields & pitches the week we were there. This maybe needs looking at.

Long weekend

Just returned from a long weekend staying in a bungalow at Horton, which was lovely, beautifully clean & well equipped (we paid extra for bed linen, the better option we felt). The bungalow was above our expectations & even had a sea view I think we must have just been fortunate (each bungalow has its own parking space).
We were visiting friends who have a static caravan on the same site so was perfect for us.

Scenery is outstanding

Just come back from 3 nights camping here and so wished we had book for at least a week. The caravan/camp site was so peaceful and chilled and in such a lovely area. Facilities were great for all age groups from families with young children to the retired. The showers/toilets are centrally located and the showers provide lovely hot water. There are lots of play areas for children and a lovely indoor/outdoor swimming pool. The village shop only takes cash but you can get that at reception. Would definately return. The beach is outstanding, accessed via a walk down hill or via a car park near the beach. Clear skies. Great for astronomy buffs.

Another enjoyable visit

Bank Farm has everything that you need, great facilities and wonderful beach. They are also dog friendly and this is one of the reasons why we first went to Bank Farm and have continued to visit. The food is also excellent and they have a great selection of drinks to choose from, Taffy Apples is a must try!

Camping

Very quiet campsite with good food and friendly clubhouse. Very friendly atmosphere with good staff. Only 7 mins down a steep hill to the beach and another pub in the village. 24 mins walk from the village pub to the clubhouse, where there was a good dartboard and beer. We went 2 weekends on the trot and will return as soon as possible for another good weekend.

Touring

Be careful which way sat nav takes you, there is an extremely narrow lane close by but we didn’t see the sign saying not good for caravans as it was late/dark. Park staff are very helpful and there is a shop & club on site and eat in/out food Lovely walk to the beach but take good shoes its a little rugged but lovely walk and a good Pub with good food is the Ship Inn at Port Eynon.

Camping at Bank Farm

Excellent views. Clean toilet block. Well stocked shop. Great clubhouse with something for everyone. Our children (4yrs and 1yr) love the two parks and the little toddler corner in the coffee shop. Didn’t use the pool this time but it’s a lovey added extra.

Holiday Weekend

I have been to many places in my time and never had any thing so clean and as comfortable as we did at bank farm cannot wait to come back also the views from where I stayed was breath taking .would be telling friends about bank farm.

Revisiting after many years

We stayed here 25 years ago and started our love of caravanning. This site is absolutely beautiful. There are not too many rules it is friendly and has something for everyone. The toilet block has been updated since our last visit it is modern and very clean. Dogs are allowed on the beach out of season which was great for us. We will go again soon if we can get in because it is very popular and soon fills up.

Dog friendly

Had our first visit this year to dog friendly Bank Farm. The toilet shower block has been revamped and was very clean. The bar/restaurant has also been re jiggled. They have added more seating/tables and redecorated that area. The food although has increased in price over recent years. We had burgers (massive!), gammon (huge!) and two good sized kiddies meals. We all left with very full tummies! We are planning to return in the Summer so we can appreciate the beach a bit more!!

The staff are really helpful

The location is superb with plenty of gently sloping lush green fields offering you beautiful views of Port Eynon. There are seasonal pitches which is like a community all to itself but one-off visitors like us are pitched in other fields. The shop stocks pretty much everything you need and we used the pool once for the kids to cool off. We didn’t use the bar but plenty of people we spoke to recommended the food especially the Sunday lunch. The beach is a 10 minute easy walk but it is rather steep down a rough track so might not be a good idea if you are elderly or unsteady on your feet. I was a bit concerned about the electricity smart card system they operate because I had never come across it before but it was great. We paid £5 which gave us 33kwh, of which 17kwh was left on our day of departure and you get your £5 back when you hand the card back in. I think it’s the way forward when you think most sites charge you an average of about £3. 50 per night for hook-up. We could have done with a map of the site to show all the facilities but we eventually found out where everything was. We have been going to Bank farm for a number of years now, and it’s a great place for the kids to make memories. We love going there with our friends and the facilities are great. The staff are really helpful.

Such a fantastic camp site!

Beautiful views (cannot fault them), we stayed in field 3 (I think) and waking up every morning to the sea views i didn’t want to leave! The toilet and shower blocks were excellent, very modern and cleanliness maintained during our whole stay. food in the bar was fantastic, great portion size for the value of money. staff were superb, on check in a friendly young woman greeted us and answered any questions we had, told us where the main facilities were and showed us up to our pitch personally and explained how to do the electric (we were quite dubious of the electric, but this way is definitely the way forward!, we put money on the card for a 2 night stay and we were refunded £3.70). Staff in the bar very friendly and polite, very helpful too. will definitely be returning

Great family camping holiday

Had a great family camping holiday here on the beautiful Gower. Highly recommend this site and area. Kids play area, really convenient little shop, covered/uncovered swimming pool, nice beach in walking distance, Wales’ best kept secret….the Gower.

Holiday Bungalow stay

We stayed in one of the holiday bungalows, which is accessed along a private road behind the main site. The main bar/restaurant on the site has lots of outside seating with sea views, so was very pleasant on a sunny day. The restaurant staff were very helpful in accommodating a gluten free diet and seemed quite knowledgeable. The bungalow itself was very clean and tidy and better than I expected.

Loved it

I absolutely love this resort. It’s the 2nd time I have visited here. Friendly staff, well run. Great food from the restaurant. Children enjoyed the magician show that was put on. Only a short walk to the beach, and an amazing chip shop. Beautiful views. I was camping, great spot I was allocated. Shame about a moany neighbour but that can’t be helped. Can’t wait to visit again next year.

Sunday Lunch

What a delight, busy Sunday, fab menu. Superb food selection and quality easily beats many Swansea restaurants. Check this place out, enjoy a drink overlooking Port Eynon. Cannot comment on caravans / tents / holiday amenities. Sunday lunch was amazing : choice of 3 roast, served with roast pots, creamed swede, carrots, peas, cabbage and lush gravy. You can have starters and desert. Good home cooking. Been back and forth to Bank Farm since 1980’s well done to Richards family. Nice seeing Brian and Jean letting the younger generation get on with it!

Brilliant Site

Went camping field was fab with toilet and shower block. Swimming pool is good but only as tiny changing room. Bar restaurant was reasonably priced food was of a high standard. Lovely little play area for the kids and the beach close by was brilliant for crabbing. A fab place are and will visit again.

Added bonus is the swimming pool

Beautiful location, plenty space for children to run and explore safely, campsite is kept to high standard for all users. Added bonus is the swimming pool which my family love. Then your right next to the club house for some good pub food, Sunday roast (delicious) and very reasonably priced.The bungalows are first class, with all MOD cons that you need for a functional stay for family of 4 or 5 .Bank farm comes highly recommend by this endorsement.

Pitches are also a very reasonable size.

Just wanted to say this is my 3rd visit to then campsite & it definitely will not be the last, The views are stunning, toilets/showers clean & plenty of them. Club house in case the weather is really bad, swimming pool, the beach is fab just prepare yourselves for the hill trek coming back. Well stocked & friendly shop. We had friends join us on the site for the day with no issues. Pitches are also a very reasonable size.

Ideal pool for the kids

Excellent for a few nights camping. Ideal pool for the kids. Shower block has plenty of cubicles and is cleaned regularly. Port Eynon is a good walk to wear out the kids. The only downside is the Welsh weather.

Very generous pitches

This site is our favourite, only half an hour drive from Swansea and we go most weekends. we have been using this site for many years. The Gower really is an area of outstanding natural beauty! Very generous pitches, facilities are excellent, clean toilets, free hot showers. There is a clubhouse that does excellent bar meals and Sunday lunches at reasonable prices. there’s a snack bar, that does “chips with everything.” Ice cream’s, coffee etc, and a well stocked shop again, all very reasonable. there is a small playground. They have an indoor swimming pool, also free, this does get very busy. Five minute walk down the hill to the beach, about a twenty minute walk back up, there is a bench half way.

Bungalow stay

Had a bungalow. Lovely and a nice size. Very comfortable. Clubhouse was lovely and food is really nice! Staff are lovely and nice play area and park for the kids. Very close to the beach also. Only criticism I have is that the park does not have ample lighting – this could be improved. Coming home in the nights with kids and it’s pitch black is not pleasant. And also there a concrete path back to the bungalows as it was a little muddy. Other than that we had a brilliant weekend and would definitely come again.

Great site

Great site. Very comfortable. Clubhouse was lovely and food is really nice! Staff are lovely and nice play area and park for the kids. Very close to the beach also. Site was clean and tidy, toilets were clean and sink area the same. There is a pool which was a big hit with kids, did get busy but hey its summer hols. Shop on site which was the same prices as your local corner shop. So 5 stars for me!

Wonderful site, beautiful views.

Site was well kept and clean as were the toilets and showers. staff were very hard working and polite. Food was great and well priced. Kids loved the pool which does get extremely busy on sunny or rainy days, due to the roof. Wonderful site can’t get any better.

Lovely sea view every morning

Went there with friends! two touring caravan’s and parked next each other. Went on 24th to 27th May, perfect time, very hot weather! So beautiful there, we parked on pitch by field 3 and lovely sea view every morning. Price is good. Shower is good and clean, also toilet too. there shop in village, price is good. Kids been playing by caravan and very safe! beach is so lovely.Went to the swimming pool, there is small shallow pool for baby and other pool for older. We love it. Would go back there again!

A good base

I stayed at a bungalow with 2 friends and 2 small dogs in the week between Xmas and New Year The bungalow was clean warm and comfortable with sea views and car parking within a short walk. It was also well equipped for cooking. Site facilities were limited and New Year entertainment cancelled due to Government imposed Covid restrictions. We cooked up a storm, enjoyed walks on the beaches at Horton Port Eynon Oxwich and afternoon tea at The Bay Rhossili. It rained almost daily with a few short sunny interludes but it didn’t dampen our enjoyment of our wonderful Gower. A good base for enjoying the area out of season and excellent value for money.

What a great find!

Just spent 2 nights here in a bungalow, on the recommendation of a family member that camped here in the summer. The bungalow was spotlessly clean, modern quiet, and well equipped . We brought our own linen, but the mattresses, pillows and duvets provided were high quality and very comfortable. We ate in the restaurant, the food was good, and we thought the bar prices were great value. All the staff we met were friendly. We didn’t use the pool, so I can’t comment on that. Thank you for a lovely stay, I’m sure we will be back!

Will definitely return

Just spent a lovely week at Bank Farm with our caravan. Park is well kept. Shower blocks clean. Pool is small but was a nice temperature and welcome refresh. Had breakfast in coffee lounge twice. Well cooked and good veggie option. Nice coffee too and friendly staff. Meal in bar one evening and pleasantly surprised at the home cooked food. Very nice Pie and fresh veg. Walk to beach through village isn’t too bad. Bit of a steep climb back. But four 64 year olds managed it no problem. Nice walk along beach to Port Eynon with nice pub and fish and chip shop overlooking the sea . Overall. A very enjoyable stay in a beautiful location. Will definitely return and definitely recommend . Thank you Bank Farm
