I walked Offas Dyke in early June and stayed one night behind the Rising Sun.

Unfortunately, the pub itself is closed on Mondays (the night I stayed) so I am unable to rate the pub, but the campsite and facilities were excellent.  Clean, and the camping area was flat. I would recommend to anyone else needing to stop over in Pandy

Offas Dyke one night stop over

I don’t like writing bad reviews as I like to point out the positives in every situation but I wish that I’d read some of the reviews on here before booking this pub campsite. On arrival we were charged the expensive rate of £37 per night for a hard standing pitch but on arrival we were greeted with a strip of grass with some added gravel. After reading their website we intended to eat in the pub for the 2 nights that we were there but was told that the kitchen was closed during the week for the foreseeable future but there wasn’t any mention of this on his website or on the notice board. Luckily we had food items with us. 
The facilities were very basic but not to a standard that I would use. The bins were over flowing when we arrived & weren’t emptied before we left! To top it all we couldn’t get any TV. We enjoyed catching the bus into Abergavenny and exploring the lovely shops and eateries there but won’t be returning or recommending the Rising Sun. 

Never Again!!!!

Very friendly staff.
Lovely warm pub with a relaxed atmosphere.
The carvery was lovely! Very reasonable. 
Great selection of drinks on tap.
Dog friendly in certain areas, we booked ahead.
Will definitely return.

Great carvery, lovely pub

Met friends for a meal, the food was delicious and good value for money!
The atmosphere was fab as they had a local singer in for the evening!  He was brilliant Jim Ramsey!!!  A fab evening lots of laughter friendly locals. Will definitely be back

Fab food!  Fab entertainment 

First opportunity to visit Abergavenny food festival, (which was great).  We needed two pitches with electric hook up, sent an email enquiring about availability and cost. Received written response £30 a night, decided even though expensive local availability was already booked back in July.  We arrived and when presented card for payment was advised £30 a night plus £15 for electricity for 3 nights.   We were out all day, ate in pub first night and friends van other two nights. No telly.  Electricity ran over on second night. 
On returning home, checked website and email there was no indication electricity extra, you always pay for pitch with or without electricity. 
Website stated site rules and no loud music and you would be asked to leave without refund.  Pitches had music boxes playing into the site and left playing whilst they left to watch football in pub.  
There was also safety issues where van were parked between 2 pitches without a safe distance.

When wrote on return explaining disappoint and being mislead about price, been totally ignored. 

Therefore left will no alternative but to write this review and warn other campers.

Very disappointed and will not return, felt local business taking advantage of local events.

Campsite never to return

Relaxed camping-site, obviously several regular weekend-campers, families and couples. Happy and laughing guests, yet very calm and quiet in late evening and night. Very helpful and friendly owner/manager. Had meals in the pub, excellent food!! Dog friendly! We had an amazing hike up in the Black Mountains along Offa’s Dyke Path.

Camping and meals at the pub

We stayed for a night whilst walking the Offa's Dyke Footpath.
A lovely little site behind a lovely inn. Very friendly greeting and great service in the pub. Lovely flat camping pitches.
Toilets were clean and tidy and the showers were hot, although the facilities could benefit from updating.
Will visit again.

Lovely campsite and Inn

This review is based on a part of 3 adults going out for an evening meal on a Friday night.
No introduction or hello on entry, just shimmied into the most crowded room to sign some signing in book, but it was full.
Then left stood at the bar like idiots again.
Finally shown through to a table.
Waited 40 mins for our order to be taken.
We had to go and fine the waitress in order to order.
Orders weren’t being taken in time of being sat down.
Service overall was a complete shambles.
When the food did arrive it was great quality and great size. We had:
- Steak
- Scampi
- Gammon
Really enjoyed the food, but as far as the service goes really need to sort your act out.

Service Left ALOT to be desired. Food -  Great!

The new owners were excellent hosts and couldn't do enough to help make our stay great! The campsite is perfectly located within the Black Mountains, we enjoyed a lovely walk up the Skirrid Mountain, fantastic views.
The amenities on site were clean and tidy, everything you need.
As the pub had only just re-opened after Covid, there was no food available yet so we took a short walk into the local village and enjoyed a lovely meal with great, friendly local people.
Can't thank the hosts John and Kim enough for a lovely weekend, we will be returning later in the summer. Thank you!

2 nights camping at this lovely spot in the Black Mountains.

Once again we had a delicious Sunday Carvery; quality food and excellent service with social distancing adhered to. Can’t fault the family for supplying such an enjoyable experience. Would recommend anytime!
