The View - Brynrodyn in Ceredigion

The View certainly has the Wow Factor! From the comfortable, modern vibe to the fabulous hosting, Lorraine with her team made our Sunday lunchtime ( and Friday coffees) an absolute pleasure. It really did feel like the customer’s needs were at the heart of what is offered. The carvery totally reached the spot with a very reasonable price tag. What more could we have hoped for. Thank you x

Unfortunately, Penycraig (amazing site) shares it's land with these lovely shiny happy people that run Brynrodyn or 'The View'. We've been staying at Penycraig for the last 9 years and have had access to 'The View's facilities and have ploughed money into their bar, restaurant and games room. I appreciate that due to Covid things are strange but their rules didn't stop me and my daughter feeding money into their game machines last year. This weekend, the same as the weekends over the last 9 years my daughter and I entered the games room where there were other children and we were asked to leave. Given the reputation of the family that run Brynrodyn or 'The View' it didn't surprise me. Do yourselves a favour and find a nice family orientated site not one that strives to take your money and be bloody miserable.

Extremely Unfriendly staff and lack of atmosphere. Perhaps a bit of music would help. The reason why the outdoor area was closed despite it being a beautiful day was frustrating to say the least. Food was poor. Service was poor. Will not return.

If you’re up for good service polite staff and a excellent Sunday lunch carvery the view is for you this was our third visit and it was as good as the other two times excellent cuts of meat choice of beef gammon and turkey all lovely and you can have a bit of all of them if you want roasted mixed vegetables this time fresh mashed swede homemade Yorkshire puddings and gravy to die for allexediningexexcellent dining experience

What can I say it’s the best carvery I’ve had for sometime choice of three meats loads of veggies and very attentive friendly staff first class we will return next time we are in our second home in BORTH

Visited The View on a sunny Friday evening. Upon arrival we noticed people sitting on the balcony enjoying the view and thought that it would be a wonderful idea for us to have our food there. We went straight to the bar and asked if we could have our meal at the balcony, but were told that we were only allowed to eat in the dining area. The dining area was a dark corner, out of sight from the main windows that had the beautiful view, with only on8e window showing the road and no atmosphere. So considering this place is called "The View", we weren't allowed to sit on the balcony or anywhere near to be able to enjoy "The View". My second complaint is to do with the menu. The menu advertised online was completely different to the one we were presented with. For example, the gammon pricing online was around £9 and the gammon pricing in the restaurant was around £12. The menu we were presented with was very limited compared to the one online. We felt this was a very unfair representation of what we should expect. Lastly, the food. There was nothing wrong with the food as such, but for the price we paid we expected much more. My partner ordered a burger, it was very standard for the price paid. Myself, I ordered a margarita pizza priced at £11, advertised online for £8. We paid £11 for what resembled a frozen pizza, the kind you could buy from Iceland, the size of a child's portion with no sides. An overall disappointing experience, and a shame as it is such a wonderful location with so much potential.

We visited The View whilst staying on the site. It was fantastic, it had well priced drinks and the food looked amazing (we were late to The View so never ate). The big screen TV was a bonus and the kids play room downstairs was excellent. The best part though? That sunset over the hill overlooking the bay - WOW! We cant wait to return!

The view Brynrodyn second visit for Sunday carvery well what can I say staff very friendly and the food plentiful and one of the best carvery I’ve ever had coming from down south we’ve had a fue normally have to ask for more hear they ask is that enough absolutely visit again would recommend the blood orange gin as pare dinner drink

We spent the day at Brynrodyn and visited The View. The View was clean,tidy and wheelchair friendly. It was immaculate throughout and the service was outstanding. We had 6 meals, and thought the lamb and chicken dishes were outstanding. The staff were attentive and made sure every need was met. The children enjoyed the games room and soft play area after we had enjoyed some time at the beach. We would highly recommend a visit!

We stayed here for the Easter weekend in our touring caravan. Great location with fantastic facilities. The views are breathtaking. We ate at the restaurant and it was good value and good quality. The children’s portions where huge!! The evening entertainment was ok too, bar well stocked and reasonably priced. We’ll definitely return. It was busy too which is a reflection of what you get there. Facilities are clean and in very good order. Only downside could be if the weather wasn’t too great as we stayed on a grass pitch. However, it didn’t effect us for our stay. The camping field is huge giving little ones chance to play football etc. with plenty of space. Short walk into Borth for the beach, food/drinks etc and the train station isn’t far if you want to explore further afield. All in all, a solid 9/10!!

Excellent one of the best Carverys ever had ! Will be going again soon . Wonderful food and friendly staff.

A hidden treasure. At last a traditional Sunday Lunch with a traditional taste at a reasonable price Every thing appeared fresh, none of this precooked, reheated,tasteless processed stuff which seems to be becoming more and more prevalent these days. Looked and tasted like home made food. Well done Chef. Must visit more often.

We turned up right at the end of the carvery and the chef was nice enough to come back and let us order which was lovely of him! Reasonably priced and it was delicious food :)

Had a fabulous weekend at Brynrodyn caravan park Superb food, entertainment spectacular views staff are very friendly nothing too much trouble great family site

Perfect newly built clubhouse . Ideal for a drink with views of Cardigan Bay and well worth the 10 minute walk from Borth beach. Friendly staff and a child friendly environment. We loved the decking area outside in the pretty garden.

The view is in quite an ugly building but the bar has an outside terrace with a lovely view of the caravan park and out to the sea. We didn’t eat there but had a G & T, very pleasant in the late afternoon....even had the tranquility nicely spoiled by a parrot of all things shouting “Hello” from nearby house on the site......Priceless

We have been here a number of times and it WAS very good and the steak WAS very good and the presentation excellent however the time before last when my wife ordered her steak it came out with all the usual presentation apart from the hot stone the steak was served on was stone cold and within minutes the steak was also cold not to be put off we gave them another try and was disappointed for another cold steak.

Came for Sunday lunch and was the best I'd had in ages. Great variety on carvery serving beautiful vegetables and lean meat, could not fault it. Staff very helpful and friendly. Will definitely come back, best wishes Gina & Mark

We've been to the restaurant quite a few times over the past few years and have always enjoyed the food and the friendly custom. I booked for 7 of us to have lunch on Sunday at 1pm...our table wasn't ready so we sat with our drinks. About 40 minutes later I thought I should ask when our table would be ready as our two boys were getting restless. I also asked if there was a kids' menu and an alternative to carvery and was told there wasn't. I'm sure there have been alternatives when we've visited in the past, but maybe I'm mistaken.

Lovely new building with great views. We were there on curry night so had curries. My husbands beef curry was OK but my "chicken tikka" had fourteen big lumps of new potato in it and was by far the largest ingredient in the curry. I left all the potato lumps on the side of the bowl and ate the tiny chicken component. I complained to a waiter I had to go and find, and when we paid at the bar. No apology, no refund. No one cares!

Went for Sunday lunch with the family as it was the end of my holiday. The restaurant was quiet when we arrived but got busier. Two choices of meat - turkey or beef. I opted for the turkey as the beef was a bit too red for my liking. Lots of options on the vegetables - I didn't have boiled potatoes or the cauliflower cheese. Gravy was delicious. The meal was delicious and the roast potatoes were pretty good. Dessert was a bit disappointing but I still enjoyed it. Would come here again.

We ate at The View twice last week. Firstly the obvious thing to mention is the stunning view, which can be seen from both inside the club house, or by sitting in the beer garden. The staff there are etremely friendly and couldn't have been more helpful with any questions we needed answering. The food came extremely quickly and we found the choice on the menu was plenty, I can't stand a menu which has too much choice on as it is a pain with kids to choose what they want at the best of times. My 10 year old ordered the chicken nuggets and chips from the childrens menu, which were ample for him and he loved the home made chips. Now my five year old had the same meal and he struggled to finish it, but if it didn't quite fill them the options of desserts certainly would. I had the gammon, which came with pineapple, egg, onion rings, tomato and chips- delicious and completely filled me up. My husband had the gourmet burger, lets just say he couldn't manage dessert after. On our second visit we had exactly the same friendly and prompt service and will definitely be returning again. There is a good selection of drinks as well. Second time round my husband and I had the home made lasagne with 2 pieces of garlic bread which I would definitely have again. My eldest then had the gourmet burger, which he couldn't finish. A lovely friendly atmosphere and would highly recommend.

The views from this restaurant are stunning, even if you just go for a drink it is worth a trip.

De nuevo de vuelta para otra comida familiar, la comida es mejor que nunca, la calidad está muy por encima de cualquier sitio sin embargo el valor de localmente dinero todavía está allí. Excelente nuevo menú fue una agradable sorpresa.

Food was very bland, either burnt or as with the chicken it was still clucking on the plate due to how underdone it was. Very poor quality of food with senior staff not even bothering to attempt to rectify the situation.WILL. NEVER. RETURN.

Went for a graduation meal celebration, 8 of us in total, some meals were warm at best, argued whether it was in fact undercooked, that is still for debate, gluten free meals were wrongly prepared in the first instance, parts of the order missing, bacon that was described by staff as cremated, and then when we quite rightly complained some staff very offish. Would never revisit. The views from the restaurant though were glorious, looking out to the sea.

Had a fantastic Sunday lunch very tasty great service very welcoming. Can't wait to visit again well worth a trip there.

Sólo la altura de la calle y ojalá hubiéramos llegado aquí antes, asadas era encantadora y unas vistas increíbles del edificio. Personal muy amable, dueño muy acogedor también, volveremos de nuevo. Precioso jardín al aire libre también y bien cuidada, con muchas plantas preciosas.

4ª comida que hemos tenido aquí y habrá muchas más calidad de presentación y precio inigualable sabor todos yo recomendaría este lugar a cualquiera

Trip to the coast (about an hour from us) and we fancied a Sunday lunch. Brynrodyn offers a carvery 12-2pm We booked - recommended because it gets busy even out of season and we can see why. Carvery option was roast beef and turkey. We were offered both. Yorkshires, stuffing, peas, glazed carrots and parsnips, crispy roasties, new spuds, sweet potato, cauliflower cheese, choice of gravies (gluten and non) cranberry sauce, horseradish. There were half a dozen pud choices and all offered with scoops of icecream from the cabinet Movenpick. Couldn't fault anything. Location superb. And the sun was out for our walk above the beach and down below. We will be back.

We had a beautiful chicken fajita and lamb sour dough burger, very good value for the amazing quality, the prosecco was very well priced and very easy to drink. We finished the night with a flat white coffee from the new coffee corner, and some sorbet. Thanks again for a lovely meal.

We arrived at 12.10 Sunday 5th March and using a voucher in the Ego magazine my wife had a glass of prosecco. Very friendly staff and chef who serves us roast beef and turkey dinner with a selection of potatoes and vegetables. Very relaxing afternoon looking out over the bay from The View. Highly recommended!!

Went to my friends wedding, what an amazing venue.Food was top notch,stunning view.nothing was to much trouble ,staff very friendly.

Just enjoyed the best Sunday every.all fresh vegetables beef or turkey or both.roast pots lovely Yorkshire puds. Fab sweets. Great atmosphere.friendly staff.and all at a reasonable price..certainly do it again.

Best Steak Ever! There service was quality! We have had a few meals there as we own a caravan on the site! The food never fails to amaze!

I've been to most of the local Sunday lunch carvery places over the last few years and, more often that not, I've left disappointed - after all a carvery is such a hard thing to get right. With so many distinct elements on the plate there's plenty of opportunity for poor ingredients or small errors in technique to stand out.Not here. Brynrodyn's chef has somehow managed to put together the mythical faultless carvery. The meats are thick sliced, tender and juicy, the roasties are the best I've had in years, crispy but not greasy and with a hint of garlic. Yorkshires that are perfectly risen, a perfect cauliflower cheese, leeks, french beans and bright green peas. The roasted carrots with herbs were worthy of particular praise - they would not be out of place on the side of a plate of food served in any high end restaurant. And the gravy was intense - thick, glossy and so full of flavour it's a revelation.The place itself is a little lacking in atmosphere as it clearly doubles as a function room for the caravan park, but the staff are friendly, everything is spotlessly clean, and the view, for which it's named, is pretty spectacular.All in, an incredibly good plate of food, and at £8 an absolute steal. Do yourself a favour and go soon.

Recommended to eat here, (usually self cater on holiday) blown away by incredible meal - for £8:00. Carvery serving, choice of meats, Yorkshire, stuffing , roast veggies, cauli cheese, new pots ..and more. All home made, roast veggies and pots some of best ever eaten. Great staff, made very welcome . No room for dessert, but they looked lush too. Amazing views, great balcony to enjoy coffee . Sky sports for hubby, bar. All excellent, roll on next trip. Thank you.

We visited the View as we were staying in a family caravan just down the road at Y-Fron caravan park. Our family recommended visiting the view for Sunday lunch and we are so glad we took their advice. It was quite busy and it's obviously a popular venue not only for the residents on Brynrodryn but also holiday makers staying in the area. Don't let the fact it's on a caravan park put you off. It's open to all and I also advise booking as it's very popular. The carvery was lovely. Plenty of choices and large portions handed out. The price is very cheap which makes it even better! The staff are very friendly and make you feel at home. Many thanks to all at the View for making our lunch such a lovely experience. We will be back!

Lovely food , very good service , the bar staff and waiting on staff carnt do enough for you and the food is very good we have been going there for about 4 years , never had a bad meal and it's spotlessly clean .

Have visited several times. Our seventh year and not a bad meal. Specials are always good value and Sunday Carvery is a must. Chicken carbonara is a personal regular choice. Excellent selection of drinks, realistically priced. Standards are high, great building always clean, brilliant views. Staff are always professional and reciprocate friendliness. Always willing to help.

We were staying at the campsite and wanted take away pizzas. They had run out of pizza so we decided to eat in. The building itself is beautiful and the views are stunning. However, the food is really uninspired and the service was not much better. Our party did do three separate orders so we didn't expect them to arrive all together, but we did expect each individual order to arrive at the same time. This didn't happen so we ended up with some very upset children not understanding why their sister had her dinner and she was still hungry!The portions sizes were fine, but the quality was similar to a weather spoons. It wasn't expensive but I'd expected more for what we paid.

We visited the view whilst on holiday in borth with our 3 month old daughter. We had booked a table early so we could get home early and get our daughter in bed. So we arrived promptly at 6.30 and were told we could sit anywhere. We sat near a window with a view over the coast, which was lovely. We ordered straight away but were given a buzzer. We weren't sure what it was for but it buzzed about an hour and 10 mins later (by which point we were starving but couldn't see any staff to ask how long it would be) so my partner went to the bar and asked what we needed to do. He told us we could only eat in a small area of the restaurant tucked round the back with no view! We were a little shocked that they had told us we could sit anywhere when we arrived, especially with us having a baby and pram, so we clearly had a lot of things to cart across to the other side of the restaurant once we had got drinks (they didn't offer to help, just went out the back again). From where we sat to eat, we could see the staff stood round the back texting on their phones most of the time! There was no one at the bar so we were stood for quite a while waiting to be served. On the plus side though, the view is lovely, place is clean and modern, the food was delicious and reasonably priced. I had bbq chicken and my partner had fajitas. Nicely presented and tasted very fresh - so they should do, when it took over an hour to make them! Disappointing that when we asked for the dessert menu he said there's no menu, we have ice cream or strawberries! So we gave it a miss. All in all, we were there over 2 hours and only had 1 course. Quite ridiculous really.

Great place great people excellent food and drink. Excellent views this place in great for the families and couples statics touring tents holiday cottages. Excellent club house and food very clean thanks Gary telford

Visited here for post funeral drinks and food but have also heard quite a lot about lunches there and meals for other groups (e.g. junior football). The place is spacious, has plenty of seating inside and out, there is parking outside and is well decorated. There is a big bar with a good range of drinks and the food was very good. Very clean and tidy too. The views down onto the beach and up the Cambrian coast are absolutely stunning.

Stayed two nights at Easter on the site. The bar and restaurant look fairly new and have beautiful views from the uostairs balcony . there was a lift up to the bar and restaurant which are on the first floor. We are there once and went up for drinks. There is even entertainment sometimes but we didn't stay that late. The restaurant is modern and the bar has nice leather sofas to sit round and chat. Can recommend.

We visited for their Sunday carvery,£8 for one course, which we had. Lovely food all fresh the only thing stopping me giving them five stars was the fact they dished ALL the items onto your plate. I'm used to choosing the quantity of veg,roasties ii want,good portion given though and everything tasted great. We were in the area on holiday so only visited once. Would definitely go there regular if I was a local

We have been here on a number of occasions and the home cooked food is scrumptious. The deserts are to die for. The venue is always spotlessly clean and you always get a warm welcome from the professional and well dressed members of staff.

Been here a few times and the food and the atmosphere is great!! The only down fall is the unprofessional dress code, a see through blouse and over the knee boots is not what I want to see when tucking into my Sunday dinner!

Been here three times now...once for a friends wedding banquet....second for a Sunday Carvery, and the other night as my wife's friend from London spent some time with us.....all occasions were great, friendly staff, owner of the camp site there every time, the food was very good indeed and not expensive, looks an unpainted new barn...when you go....you'll get it...it works!Obviously open to caravaners and locals alike, you'll ask "what are those boards hanging from the roof"The scenery ON A CLEAR DAY is breath taking...but,I would say that as I am local.Only thing I thought strange.....and even our guest remarked....no Custard for the apple pie..????? Big dissapointment for a Londoner.....?So we passed on the sweet.........if thats our only moan.......shows how good it really is.

tasty food, good atmosphere, friendly staff, good service. been 2 times and i will come again.Tasty sunday dinner and tasty scampi.THANK YOU!!!good soft play.

Excellent food excellent service would highly recommend and the view while you eat and drink is stunning.

lwhat a lovely surprise fab food prices very reasnoble good staff would go again a lovely eating experience

we just stayed here for a week and loved every minute of it,everything was brilliant from the cleanliness of the caravans and outside, to the meals which i cannot fault ( and i am a very fussy eater believe me )we would like to thank alan and lorraine the owners for making us feel so welcome and nothing was too much to ask of them,also two very friendly members of staff, helen and james for the hospitality they showed us.we will definitely be returning.

An excellent restaurant and club with quality food and views of Borth. Staff are friendly and helpful. Very modern with entertainment throughout the year. TVs showing sport could be bigger in screen size and still no public wifi in the bar or restaurant.

A lovely place to have a meal & enjoy watching the sunset over Borth.Food is good & well worth visiting '-]

The View is wonderful.food fantastic staff are brilliant nothing too much trouble. I love the place cant go enough.

Visited Brynrodyn which was the end of a charity bike ride for Bobby on a Bike, saw the riders come in and all had a meal at this super view Restaurant /Bar.It is an impressive place well fitted out great food and drink and what a view over cardigan bay from the bar and the large balcony. They also have a stage and dance floor for their entertainment nights.Great staff and Owner what more could you want.

Over the past month we have visited / eaten at The View on a number of occasions. The food be it the Sunday lunch or evening menu is fantastic. All members of staff, waitresses, bar staff, chefs and the owner are extremely pleasant and helpful; I can't recommend The View enough.

It takes a lot to satisfy my palette when dining out and paying good money for it but this venue never fails to impress. Service is faultless, food impeccable and delicious and value for money would be a genuine 9 out of 10. Couple the above with great bar service, free entertainment as in live bands/singers, and a homely feel...... you'll know that when you enter this establishment you've entered a home from home.

It is worth a try especially if you are not staying on the caravan site.. The view is brilliant :)We have had sunday lunch here a few times now and it has never let us down. Good value quality food with very friendly staff and the chef is able to accommodate slight changes in meals if requiredPS it has sky sports

We ate here on Saturday for our anniversary on recommendation from a lady we had been chatting to earlier in the day. We were delighted to see a wedding was being held there and loved the choir singing as part of the celebrations. We both had a lovely meal and the staff were very helpful. Hopefully we will return to Borth and The View in the future x

Have just come back from a weeks holiday at Brynrodyn. The site is maintained to the highest of standards and could not fault the facilities. We frequently ate at The View (the clubhouse) and found the food to be of great value and plenty of it!! There was always a great atmosphere in there and we were warmly welcomed not only around the site but also staff had remembered our names. The entertainment suited our and the kids needs for a great British holiday. It was so good Im considering purchasing a caravan on the site to spend summers there!!

Was recommended this site by a friend who has been on a few occasions. Oh my god how impressive !! from the second we got there to the unfortunate day in which he had to leave. The staff were very polite and nothing was to much bother even to the point where they would help entertain the kids ! The whole campsite was clean and tidy, all the grass cut and kept short, also plenty of things going on for the kids to do (mine took a shine to the bouncy castle).Had a few evenings in the club house (The View) and there was plenty going on in there from entertainment to bingo and even the football on the tv. We ate in the restaurant in the evenings and not once had a bad meal (thanks again for the welsh mustard !) Looking forward to the next school holidays as will hopefully will be making a return. Thank you to all involved for making our stay a special one :-)

A large group of us visited The View for the Sunday Carvery. It was a pleasant visit. The staff were very friendly. It wasn't overly busy, so no real queues at the carvery. The food was ok. They had Beef and Turkey on. It was £8.00 for the carvery so not bad for the price.

Went here for a carvery for a special family occasion on a sunday. Brilliant customer service from the chefs and waiter/waitress. Can't fault the food absolutely beautiful for a cheap price too. 2 courses for £11 can't go wrong, lovely setting overlooking the bay and modern decor. Overall great experience and atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

We've visited Brynrodyn 3 times in the last two years. It's always a great experience, wonderful food, friendly staff, nothing is too much trouble. The icing on the cake is the wonderful view. Its a great night out for the family.

Never again ,we have eaten here before and the food was actually not too bad however I have never met such rude people in my life , the couple who own the view walk around as if they have the weight of the world on their shoulders and everything is too much trouble , very clicky atmosphere which also makes for a poor night out . If the owners took a back seat and stayed out of the way instead of telling children off for petty things such as getting their feet down off the shabby furniture or walking too quickly this place could be wonderful. All of this is a great shame as the venue itself is a fantastic place and could be great with the right ownership/management.Such a shame as we loved the venue just not the owners or the atmosphere.

We dined here last Friday night which was also the evening of Borth carnival. As a group we were five adults and four children and everyone had the buffet on offer. At £7.95 for adults and £3.95 for children, it represented good value for money.A choice of ribs, fish, chicken, potatoes, rice, garlic mushrooms along with several side orders. The waitress service was excellent, the server on the buffet very helpful and overall a great evening. The drinks are also very reasonably priced and coupled with the live evening entertainment show that followed, a fantastic night was had by all. Would definitely recommend and will certainly return.

Wow! The food and atmosphere at 'the view' was simply amazing! We were a group of six looking for somewhere nice to eat that would cater for all our needs. We were all truley impressed with the food and the great prices! We had the steaks, bbq chicken, salmon and gammon as well as well presented starters! We unfortunatley didnt have room for pudding! Couldnt recommend this place enough!

Excellent views, great food and good value. Friendly staff but cash only and the machine charges you £1.75 to use it !

Visited the caravan park as we are considering buying here. We wandered into The View only to be greeted by smart, friendly staff, more than happy to help and the wonderful smell of the carvery. The restaurant is modern, spotlessly clean, spacious with a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. We decided to book in for lunch there and then and were not disappointed. My husband had pork and lamb which he says was cooked to perfection and the chef, Manwell was very generous with the portion size. I had chick pea cakes which were full of flavour and a refreshing change from the sometimes unadventurous vege option. Accompanying veg was mash, roast pots, parsnips, carrots, broccoli and cauliflower cheese and I have to say all were really tasty (although I have a feeling, not good for the diet) as quite buttery. Loved it! Puddings to die for, although we did struggle to finish them. We will definitely be going back.

We have stayed at this Site on many occasions And we have always had a Brilliant time & the Kids love it....Very friendly Staff & Owners....Lovely Food Cooked By Chef...+++++Always things going on with different Activites / Shows going on throughout the Season.....This is a Lovely Site with Lovely Views and Borth has a Lovely Beach....Will Defo be visiting again...+++++

My family and i visited The View at Brynrodyn caravan park to visit friends who were staying on site. We were invited for Sunday lunch unexpectedly, and what a fantastic surprise it was! A carvery style lunch served by the chef himself, with a great selection of meats, roasted vegetables and seasonal vegetables. We could not fault the food, and the staff were friendly and willing to help. The desserts looked mouth watering, but i was too full to sample one!The facilities are excellent and it is a real hidden gem. Prices are very reasonable, and next time we visit we will be sure to buy a bottle of champagne!
