Rheidol Retail Car Park

Had a great time shopping at the retail park. However several days after I received a penalty notice for overstaying the two hours free parking. I say parking, but I mean entering the car park. They photograph you as you enter and leave. You aren't told this and as it took ages to park (lots of people coming and going) I had ages to wait to pull into a space. Not realising it was two hours from entry I noted the time of parking and returned before the two hours were up. I queued to exit the car park too. This was classed as the time I parked. SO A WARNING TO EVERYONE, note the time you enter the car park and not the time of parking. Despite there being no actual loss to the retail park for me allegedly overstaying the parking time. It's a greater loss to the companies on the site as I won't be returning!

Parking spaces, Argos, Lidle, Iceland, Mountain warehouse, easy access to the town centre shops too. 2 hour max stay. Then go round the corner to Tescos car park, 3 hour max stay there! Nice little park next door. Go do a Park run on Saturday morning, then shop. (No Idea what I'm on about? Never mind, there's a car park there, use it)

Do Not stay in car park overtime as parking eye will send you a nice charge notice. Its a car park for argos, iceland, lidl & mountain wearhouse. All shops are good as expected. Also close to town & handy for craft 2nd hand shop.

You get a £85 fine if you go one second over the 2 hour limit, despite no signage telling you there is a limit. Just got a £85 fine for under 3 hours stay. This has put me off EVER visiting Aberwystwyth EVER again. Even the shop in front of where we parked was abandoned.

Not enough parking time. Over 7pm should be free parking. Where else is there close to places to eat? Fined for 39 minutes over the time for using weatherspoons for dinner. The car park is empty and not being used, sort it out Council!!!

Update 04/04/2022

New Lidl store now open and very well stocked. Car park completed with spaces suitable for the larger vehicle on today's roads. Still time restrictions on parking though...beware !!

Car park is a bit of a mess due to the new Lidl store being constructed. Also please be aware of the strict 90 minutes parking. You will be fined over that time. Don't think you have got away with it by having no ticket on your car, the fine comes by post !!

Park on here to shop at Lidl or go round town first. The parking is very small for some vehicles so watch your doors. Also keep a very good lookout for the parking time count from the second you get past the cameras. Then get back with at least 5 to 10mins to spare as it can get very busy. A lot of people have had a ticket after getting back with a little time to spare. Not good enough as when it's busy you get stuck in your car trying to get out. Unfortunately the carpark company don't give an inch and think nothing of charging you for a few seconds. But it's a handy carpark and if your sensible your safe.

Good shops I can mostly find what I want. Good for parking so very convenient.
