A Mid-Wales caravan park was left in a state of confusion after it was listed for sale online - despite the owners having no plans to sell the spot.

The managers of Twin Rivers Caravan Park, Foel, received some unusual news in late April, when they started receiving questions over whether the park was being sold.

The questions came as a surprise to site managers Anthony Ayre and Daniel Shipley, because the 129-pitch caravan park was not in fact up for sale.

Having been listed on RightMove, marketed by Colliers International Property Consultants at a price of £3.5 million, the news caught the attention of residents and holiday goers, especially regular visitors who became concerned that their preferred caravanning spot was under threat.

Mr Ayre said: “It seems to have been listed by mistake, for which we’ve received an apology, but it has started a rumour which has been hard to shake off over the past few days.

“We’ve had multiple people dropping in and calling us up, booking for what they thought would be their last chance to come here before it passes on to new owners or to ask if the site is going on sale when it absolutely isn’t.

OTHER NEWS:

“There aren’t even any plans to sell the park, or certainly not at the present.”

Twin Rivers Caravan Park was sold four years ago, under the management of Colliers, hence why the accidental for sale campaign contained a large amount of information on the park.

According to Mr Shipley, all of the pictures featured on the RightMove page were over four years old, indicating that it was the old profile of the site.

He added: “It says a lot that the site was supposedly up for sale and I was only made aware of it when my phone started ringing with people asking what was going on.

“It came as a shock to our regular visitors, some of whom were concerned that it was being sold.

“When a caravan park is sold, multiple changes can occur like fee increases or new limits and restrictions on what you can bring, or in extreme cases a conversion of use, so a few of our regular visitors were really concerned even though the rumours of a sale were completely false.”

Colliers has been contacted for comment.
