“ Came here while visiting my son and his family over christmas and new year. I love waterfalls so the walk round the park was a nice treat for me. All round the park are hidden waterfalls and streams and the added fast flow river at the side of the park was a bonus. Loads of ducks wandering around that you can feed with appropriate food. Nice to see loads of bins around. Dogs and human rubbish catered for , unlike some parks in the area ( fforest fawr) after a walk in the rain a wee stop and hot chocolate in the cafe was a dry treat. Wellies needed in the bad weather... so knowing wales all year lol. Dog friendly so nice to see pets inside. Lovely palette table and chairs to sit at. A lovely choice of drinks , cakes and things. Staff very friendly and accomadating only dissablet toilet was open and 2 portaloos outside other inside loos blocked off with chairs . Dissabled was very clean and stocked well with loo roll. Well worth a visit for licals and visitors to the area. X X ”
