Vendors comments
After many years of talking about buying a campsite and quitting
the -rat race-, we started the search to look for a property with
potential in Wales. We found Dolau Afon.
We took Dolau Afon from a neglected overgrown state and spent the
next 6 yrs getting it to what it is now. When we bought Dolau Afon
in 2015, we didn-t know anything about the area, nor did we know
anyone, but being such a sociable friendly community and us willing
integrators, we landed on our feet and never looked back.
We started work within days of getting the keys, and eventually we
started to make progress, and plans for the site. We started with
the CCC as a CS just 10 tents and 5 caravans, to what we have now -
a 20 pitch touring site with facilities plus the cottage as self
catering accommodation.
.
There are many special things about Dolau Afon and its situation,
nestled in the heart of the Ystwyth Valley in the Cambrian
Mountains, especially with its accessibility to walks in all
directions - we have woodland, rivers hills and mountain walking
from the property and the beautiful coastline of Cardigan Bay only
9 miles away. Dolau Afon really has it all as far as location goes,
in an -Area of Astounding Natural Beauty-.
We have made many friends locally, where we have been totally
accepted by the friendly and helpful generosity of the community.
There is a lot going on in the village and surrounding villages,
with plenty to get involved with.
Sitting in the garden is lovely, listening to the birds and just
taking in the tranquillity of it. Wildlife is a plenty too, with
otters, herons, kingfishers, buzzards, kites, pine martins etc. and
swimming in the river is very invigorating, or just sitting on the
riverbank; we will miss this. Many of our campers and cottage
guests have returned year on year to enjoy the area and Dolau
Afon.
We have enjoyed every day of being here, but now its time for us to
embark on our next chapteradventure in our lives, and pass it on
for someone else to enjoy, who also have a passion and enthusiasm
for a lifestyle with an income.
But now its time for us to spend time doing the retirement thing -
get back to traveling and motor homing as we did almost a decade
ago, dreaming of owning a campsite and holiday cottage business.
Our time is done here, and time for someone else to enjoy the
ride.
