Ours is a small family run camp site with the River Frome on one side, next to the medieval buildings of Stowford Farm. The river is suitable for fishing, boating, swimming and paddling.

Despite the weather we had a great few nights here. The facilities are clean and modern and the barn provided everything we could need, including some much needed shelter during the high winds and rain we experienced. Great campsite with plenty of space.

This is a lovely place to stay. The railway carriage was very comfortable and very well laid out, packing a lot of functionality into a cozy space. The grounds are beautiful and quiet. It’s just a short drive to several must see places like Bath and Avebury henge.

We really enjoyed our camping stay at Theresa’s. Fantastic location, great views. Good facilities and a well kept site. Loved the wild flower meadows, made the pitches feel more private and added to the outlook. It was a peaceful stay and we will definitely stay again.

My daughter and I had a blissful week at what has become our favourite campsite. The location is off the scale, but what really makes it is the wonderful simple thoughtful hospitality. The guys at Pwllyn Farm have thought of everything, firepits, honesty shop, great showers, everything really clean and calm and just perfect. Thank you so much we will be back 😊

Everyone was friendly, but they are quite strict on the noise level even before 10pm. I was confused by the honesty box as I couldn't find it to put money in. Camp site is well laid out and nice facilities.

Pwylln Farm offers a tranquil campsite for hikers, with its stunning views of Pen y Fan and Corn Ddu. The campsite has luxurious showers and toilets as well as shelter where we could cook and hang out with sofas and an honesty shop. The owner was friendly and informative and made our stay feel welcome. We would recommend this site to anybody and have fun!

Lovely amenities, beautiful flat ground, plenty of space and a big barn to relax in or cook in. The place is massive. There were a lot of people around when I went but with all the space it was easy enough to keep some distance between everyone. The big barn is where the kitchen sink, toilet, and showers are located. It's not too far from the campsites but parking is provided just outside if you don't feel like walking. I don't think there are toilets in the campsites themselves. I had a lovely time there but initially I wasn't sure where to go. Perhaps more signs after the entrance may help.

A beautiful location for a night camping in a camper van. Several large fields to choose between and it was so quiet in early June. The centre of the fields is preserved for wild flower meadows and nesting birds, so the whole place is peaceful and relaxing. Great shared facilities, with a rustic, welcoming atmosphere. Views of the surrounding Brecon Beacons absolutely stunning, whatever the weather. A lovely place for a stopover.
