Weekend Trip to Eden's Nook

I can’t tell you how peaceful, how pleasant and enjoyable my time was properly. I’ve left today relaxed because I slept incredibly. The lake which is 5 mins away is spectacular. Honestly everything you can think of is provided. Because it’s a smaller site the attention to detail is doubled. Great energy, owners are incredibly welcoming and sweet. I feel like they do anything to make your stay pleasant. I will be back, 100%. I want to come for a clear night because there is no light pollution so the stars will be incredible. Hot showers, lovely clean bathrooms. Also they have lots of spare bits, I needed a pot for cooking and there was a plethora to borrow from. 10/10

This is the perfect mix of luxury and the outdoors. Charlie was amazing from start to finish and couldn’t do enough for us. There’s nothing better than sleeping under the stars (in a proper bed!). We can’t wait to return. Thanks for the perfect break ❤️

Thanks Mark for the lovely stay! The area is secluded and picturesque, which really gave us the feeling of living a nomadic life with just the basic amenities. A few tips for future visitors: Bring a hanging light or headlamp, as it gets very dark and there’s no lighting provided. There’s a gas stove and cooking area, but you’ll need to bring your own utensils. Pack warm duvets and thick jackets if you’re visiting in autumn, as nights can get very cold. 🚗 Important: Do not drive your car down to the tent. Park just after entering the gate and walk down instead. I missed the host’s message about this, got stuck trying to drive back up, and had to be rescued by a farmer with his tractor (thankfully the host responded quickly and was super helpful!). Despite that little adventure, I absolutely loved the stay and would highly recommend it if you’re looking for a unique experience without the hassle of putting up a tent yourself.

We had a wonderful time at Eden’s Nook. Jayne helped us to feel so welcome and went above and beyond in the hot weather to make sure we had what we needed. The site is really clean and very peaceful. We saw lots of butterflies and birds. A gorgeous stay! Thank you.

Staying in the yurt was the perfect way to end our Snowdon adventure – warm, cozy, and full of character. After a day of climbing, it felt amazing to relax in such a unique place, surrounded by nature and good vibes.

This was such a quiet, lovely location! It was near to one of the access points for Glyndwr’s Way so we were able to hike a nice section of the trail. Clean facilities and super easy to find with responsive, friendly hosts - a good spot to unwind! The field for tent pitches was enclosed and we actually had the place to ourselves so our dogs could wander without worry - really enjoyed our stay here.

A fairly small camp ground with a beautiful big barn containing couches, TV, table, fridge, water and home like showers and toilets. Outside the barn there was a picnic table and a hut further along with a fire place that you could sit around and cook food. I did get a bit lost on my way there but the hosts were able to sort me out. When I did arrive they showed me around the place and explained where everything was and how it all worked. I shared the camp ground with only one other person and had a very pleasant time, so maybe consider booking during the quieter times of the week.

Well equipped and in a beautiful setting, it even had wild deer roaming around the grounds which was very special to see. We took a trip to Barmouth which was close by and a hike up to Arthog waterfalls. Would highly recommend.

Quiet and beautiful camp spot, perfect for hiking in the black mountains. One WARNING, there is a gas stove but no cooking equipment provided contrary to listing so plan ahead if you want to cook. Still great value and would recommend

Weekend Trip to Camp at Nantgwynfaen Organic Farm

We spent two nights in our van on the Love at First Site pitch. It was perfect - totally private, absolutely beautiful and so peaceful, could just hear birdsong. The site had its own outdoor shower, with leaves as the ‘roof’, just magical, and its own washing up area. A little wander down a grassy track to the compost loo (very clean) and farm shop to get lovely organic supplies, just dreamy. The whole farm was incredibly beautiful, with stunning views of rolling hills and valleys. We had a lovely walk through the valley on the last morning. Ken was very friendly, and Amanda very helpful when I needed to make date changes. All in all, an a wonderful site that we very much hope to revisit :)
