The Bridge Inn

We stayed at The Bridge Inn for three nights recently, midweek. We were camping and had a lovely pitch up on the terrace. There were a few other tents there whilst we were staying,and a couple of caravans and motorhomes.

It is not a large camp site, but is a campsite attached to a pub(and a very good pub it is too!!). There are pitches for 6 caravans or motorhomes, with electric hook-ups and a further 10 allocated pitches for tents, and facilities for overflow camping in a nearby field should it be needed. Dogs are welcome and there are very few rules and regulations, that you find on so many sites these days.

The toilets and showers have recently been refurbished to a high standard and are kept clean and tidy. There is plenty of hot water and good washing up facilities in a large sink outside the toilet and showers.

It is an idyllic place to stay, with the Escley Brook running alongside the pub and campsite, with plenty of places for children to get back to nature and have fun playing in an environment not spoilt by the usual children's playground!

The pub is a real gem too! A real country pub where locals and tourists are all welcome. It serves really excellent home-cooked food, without being pretentious in any way, with good real ales,local ciders and an excellent wine list. Then all you have to do is walk a few yards back to your tent or caravan!!

This place is a real gem and speaking to some of the other people camping, we learnt that people love it so much that they return time after time because it is such a friendly and welcoming place - pub and campsite.

Should you not wish to camp, there is a Shepherd's Hut, which is very cosy and romantic, on the site, and the owners of the pub have also recently opened a B & B in a lovely 16th Century Farmhouse 100yds from the pub.

Stayed at the pub campsite on first weekend in May, looks like the new owners have invested a lot of time and effort sorting out the pub - amazing food (strongly recommend the pie!) – and also at the top of trip advisor and well deserved!

Campsite appears to have been recently refurbished and shower block and toilets are spot on and I would recommend to groups and familaies

The location in next to a lovely little brook and is perfect for anybody who wants to be near to a great pub close to Hay on wye and the black mountains.

All in all, an excellent weekend and we will definitely be returning next year!

Just returned home after a lovely weekend in the most amazing setting . This campsite is in picture perfect country side next to a small stream. The new owners have just re vamped the shower/toilet blocks to a amazing standard with plenty of hot water and washing up facilitates. Our children aged 7 and 5 loved the site and although there is no play area as such ,they happily spent hours playing in the small stream and exploring the site we also went on some lovely walks. The both nights we stayed we ate in the pub the food is truly amazing and there is a childrens menu . The pub also serves great cask ales and local ciders ,and nothing is to much trouble we were made to feel very welcome and have already booked to return in the school holidays. I can only assume that some of the reviews on here we're written when the pub was under previous owners  please don't be put of by them it is a real little gem .

This campsite has the potential to be lovely, but as it is, it feels like camping in a pub car park. We camped here on a Friday night, a family of 4 with small children. The cars started arriving at the pub around 7pm and were allowed to park wherever they wanted on the campsite, we even had a few outside our tent. Then from around 10pm they started leaving, most doing a lap of honour around the campsite as they did so. Very noisy.

It is also worth mentioning that some of the details on this listing are incorrect. The cost is £10 per adult, not per couple, and £5 per child, even for under 3's. This meant our nights camping cost £30, which is more than we've ever paid in a campsite before. For this we got very basic toilet and shower facilities with no hot water to wash dishes with, bins that didn't get emptied the whole weekend we were there, a pitch next to a sheer 5 foot drop (not ideal with toddlers), and about 10ft from the door of our tent was another sheer ditch, which was used by the pub to empty fetid waste water in. Nice.

This site also says the campsite has a childrens play area. This is not true, unless you count a decked area at the back of the campsite, totally out of view and again with a 10ft drop. 

The sad thing about this campsite is that you get the impression the owners are not interested in it at all, seeing it simply as a means to make easy money. Similarly the pub food is ridiculously overpriced but that is another story. 

We left a day earlier than planned as we didn't fancy staying to see how a night with a wedding reception in a marquee in the pub garden across the track from the campsite would work out for us, however going by the accounts of family members who stayed on this was an even noisier affair. 

I am sure this campsite is fine if you just want somewhere to crash after a walk or a cycle and dinner and drinks in the pub, but I wouldn't recommend booking here if you are wanting somewhere nice to camp with children. 

The setting is amazing, and the facilities very basic. That would have been fine, if we had not felt like we were camping in a pub car park.

The comings and goings were non stop, including into the early hours on our last night when the pub must have had a lock in. 2am with 6 people chatting loudly outside your caravan is not my idea of a tranquil site. :( 

The pub and food was fabulous, and so was the pyder cider, but they need to decide if they are a camp site or not. If they are, then the access needs to be separate, so that the campers are not disturbed. 

On one evening we had at least 8 children playing VERY loudly on the campsite while the Parents ate peacefully in the pub. We were cooking outside, and it was not relaxing. I addition another core Le 2 dogs in their car next to our caravan, and they barked all the way through our meal!!
