4 nights at Cwmffrwd Farm Campsite

Oh my goodness. This site was simply magical. We were blessed with beautiful weather, but I’m sure no amount of rain could take away from this beautiful place. Pridie clearly loves and cares for her land. The pitches are large and well laid out, maximising privacy, it was quiet when we were there but I imagine it never feels “busy.” A fire pit is a great addition and the wood bundle was brilliant value for money. The composting loos were fab, the shower facilities basic but clean and hot! Washing facilities were great with eco-friendly washing up liquid provided. Plugs with USB in the Byre (where washing facilities are) for charging your tech (but hardly any signal - bliss.) We missed Pridie’s walk but overheard a bit of one and chatting with her she is clearly extremely knowledgeable about the land she cares for and I would definitely sign up for a walk next time we go. So many beautiful walks on your doorstep, with helpful walks highlighted in the Byre for you to explore, which was really helpful and led to us discovering some stunning walks nearby. This will be one of the very rare sites which we will revisit.

3 nights at Glan Y Mor Camping

Beautiful, peaceful campsite with lovely hosts and great location-walking distance to Pembroke through a pretty woodland. Facilities were immaculate and the shower was hot and powerful. A lovely communal area with a fridge, plug sockets, seating and firepit. We absolutely loved it here!

1 night at Pytingwyn Woods

Lovely spot to camp by the river! David came out and said hello a while after I arrived. Basic facilities but exactly as advertised

1 night at Pytingwyn Woods

Very nice and chilled field, quiet and peaceful. There is a limited amount of hard standing if it is muddy, plus a single composting loo

1 night at Pytingwyn Woods

Beautiful spot, perfect for the dogs, and generous with free firewood. Would definately stay again.

Weekend Trip to Cwmffrwd Farm Campsite

We absolutely love camping on Pridie and James’ land, it was perfect back to basic camping, compost loo and shower/wash room, plenty of space and outstanding views. We will 100% be returning especially when the sauna is built! This campsite was so peaceful and welcoming! The horse and sheep in the meadows next to your pitch are just incredible! Also worth getting a box or two of wood as the fires in the evening just top the day of perfectly! If you want a lovely refreshing weekend I can’t recommend this site enough! We didn’t want to leave!

Weekend Trip to Glan Y Mor Camping

Really lovely campsite, perfectly sized & super friendly hosts. A lovely welcome! Very clean facilities & thoughtful provisions for guests to access i.e. kettle / hand soap etc. Pitch was really quiet of an evening & surrounded by woods, though a short walk into town for pub food. Ideal & would absolutely return!

1 night at Pentwyn Dingle and Lodge Field Camp

We spent two nights in a lovely spot by the woods and river, so quiet and peaceful. Tucked away from everything and everyone, just what we wanted! Martin is so friendly and very accomodating, we will definitelty be back soon.

3 nights at Over-the-Moon Luxury Shepherds Hut

We loved our stay at Over the Moon. Location was perfect, bed was extremely comfy and the hut was very cosy with everything you'd need. We loved the chickens mooching around and hearing the sheep and baby lambs. Such a peaceful and beautiful location. Thanks to Ruth & Jude and the animals ☺️

2 nights at Over-the-Moon Luxury Shepherds Hut

Over The Moon is a charming shepherd’s hut, and it was an absolute delight to stay there. The accommodation is thoughtfully designed and beautifully finished to a high standard. It was also super cosy and warm. The peaceful setting made it the perfect place to unwind and recharge. Waking up to the sounds of nature and enjoying the tranquil surroundings was just what I needed. I would highly recommend this hidden gem to anyone looking for a relaxing and restorative getaway.

5 nights at Pytingwyn Woods

I absolutely loved it here, very peaceful and I could sut for hours listening to the river and wildlife David the owner popped in to check everything wad OK and what lovely guy to talk to. I will ge back....

2 nights at Pytingwyn Woods

We had a lovely couple of evenings. It’s very peaceful with a friendly horse nearby and a gentle stream. Near enough to town to nip in for supply’s, but far away enough to enjoy the peace and watch the stars. We’d love to come back.

Weekend Trip to Over-the-Moon Luxury Shepherds Hut

I had a wonderful time at Ruth's Shepards hut. The hut was so cozy and a perfect location to explore the delights of North Wales. The eggs from the hens were the best I've tasted! 😍 I was travelling alone with my dog and Ruth put me right at ease and was a very welcoming host. I can't wait to return to Over The Moon in the future 💖

1 night at Pytingwyn Woods

We had an absolutely lovely stay here. We were incredibly lucky with the weather which only added to a fabulous location. George, the horse mugged us for polos 😊 A great spot to get away from things and chill next to the stream. Dave was a great host and made sure every thing was ok.

Weekend Trip to Over-the-Moon Luxury Shepherds Hut

We absolutely loved our stay in this shepherd’s hut. The location is fantastic, with plenty of walks and nature spots nearby—perfect for outdoor lovers. The orchard garden was much larger than we expected and ideal for letting our dog roam safely off-lead. The hut itself was impressively well equipped with everything we needed: a fully stocked kitchen, shower, toilet, sink, soft towels, various lighting options, indoor and outdoor seating, plus both a radiator and log burner for cozy evenings. The bed was incredibly comfortable, making it easy to relax after long walks. It was also, without a doubt, the cleanest holiday stay we’ve ever experienced. Communication with Ruth was spot on. Everything felt just right, and we enjoyed every moment. We loved it so much we’re already booking our next stay!

Weekend Trip to Pytingwyn Woods

Great location - right next to Brecon town centre! But also very wild! David was a great host and very friendly. I don’t recommend driving to your pitch as my 4x4 got stuck (which David helped me recover!). Great woods surrounding with a lovely stream. We had the place to ourselves and it was so tranquil. Plenty of flat space at the bottom of both fields and even in the woods if you wish. Everything for a camp fire is provided (stones and wood) but I’d recommend bringing your own dried logs if it’s been raining as they are stored outside. We can’t wait to return when it’s a little warmer!

Weekend Trip to Over-the-Moon Luxury Shepherds Hut

We had the most wonderful stay at The Sheperd’s Hut. Ruth and Jude were truly wonderful hosts. The location is just beautiful. Waking up to the gorgeous views, and our exploring the local forest was amazing. The sheep, chickens, and friendliest dogs made for a wonderful walk through the field. Everything was spotless, and you could feel the work and love that had been poured in. Tea, coffee, and sugar provided, as well as all the cooking tools you could need. The log burner was set up for us before we arrived, and we lit it on our last night. It was so toasty. The hut was comfortable, cosy, and exactly what you need to escape to the countryside. The eggs from the chickens are a must have! The local village was lovely too. We had the most beautiful Sunday Roast in the village. We are so grateful for the hints and tips given in the binder on arrival. Diolch!

Absolutely stunning location and great hosts, they even dropped us a message to let us know the northern lights were visible that night. It's well kept, cosy and has everything you'd need. We will definitely be booking it again.

Weekend Trip to Pytingwyn Woods

It’s as close to a wild camping experience as you’ll get. For £12 a night per person it’s an absolute bargain. Lovely site. The owner is really nice chap. We’ve been twice and we will be going every year until we can’t.
