Weekend Trip to Magical Roundhouse or Train Wagon

What a gorgeous place! The perfect place for a calm refuge to reset and re-enter life restored. Lovely kind hosts, beautiful views and walks straight from the roundhouse enjoyed by us and our cat Blue. Absolutely magical. Such a comfortable bed, cosy lights, cooking supplies, folk takes - all you would need. Can't thank you enough!

This was our second time staying here, and it was even more special than the first time. Every second is something to cherish. Hosts are lovely, warm and very welcoming. Facilities are outstanding, with communal kitchen and games rooms with had a pool table, air hockey and the means to play table tennis. The pod was warm, comfortable and homely. We cannot wait to stay again. Perfect getaway.

Our second stay and even more perfect, the camper van pitch is secluded and quiet, the decking and fire pit beautiful touches for relaxing outside of the van. We were very pleasantly surprised at just how warm the showers were despite the wind and cold and the roundhouse is lovely. To top it all it’s easy to get to the coast path and marvel at the dramatic coastline. 💕

We loved our stay at smugglers cove! The pitch is very well maintained with stunning views. It’s so peaceful and the fire pit was great in the evening. Facilities are clean and well kept, lovely to have warm water for washing up. We can’t wait to come and stay again in the spring/summer. We loved it!

A very warm welcome from Nigel at the site, with explanation of the site. We loved staying in one of the pre-pitched bell tents, so cosy and warm with very comfy beds! Warm shower and clean composting loo. Helpful little things like the - rechargeable lanterns for use and bottle lanterns when it got dark. A plus too, lots of kitchen ware and crockery.

Loved my stay! The pitches were well kept, the river was such a beautiful view to wake up too and not too far a drive to the places I wanted to visit! Highly reccomend this site.

The pitches sits on a raised slate plateau, nestled under the treeline...separated from the other pitches by shrubs... (picture taken in early spring before a lot of the green leaves have grown back after winter!)

1 night at Ffosygrafel Isaf Camping

We recently camped at this enchanting site with our two children, aged 8, 9, and our dog. From the moment we arrived, it felt like stepping into a fairy tale, complete with a beautifully crafted communal campfire hobbit house. Despite stormy weather, the cozy atmosphere of the hobbit house provided the perfect retreat for family bonding. The camping pitches were well-groomed, flat, and sheltered, ensuring a comfortable experience. The facilities were impressively clean, far exceeding our expectations for compostable toilets, and the warm showers offered a refreshing luxury after a day of outdoor fun. A highlight was the hobbit hut, featuring warm water for dishwashing, making it feel like a home away from home. The food prep space and cozy seating area encouraged board games and reading, keeping our kids entertained for hours. With stunning dark skies at night, the site is perfect for stargazing—bringing a telescope is recommended. The welcoming owners added to the friendly atmosphere that made our experience special. Conveniently located for day trips to Aberystwyth or Borth, there is a shop around 1 mile away, though we suggest bringing marshmallows and wood for the campfire. The owner sells firewood, ensuring you can enjoy magical evenings around the fire. The children loved playing on the swing and running in haystacks, while our dog received a warm welcome, making it a truly family-friendly location. Overall, this campsite was the highlight of our summer.

Really great campsite! We pitched our bell tent in the woodland where they have only 5 spaces available. I loved staying in the woods rather than in an open field. The lighting at night was magical and the facilities were fab which you only share with the 5 pitches on site so we're never crowded. We listened to the owls at night and ravens by day (my favorite bird so I was really chuffed). We used the pizza oven but unfortunately didn't get time to book the sauna - next time! My 3 kids loved the play area and tried really hard to stay up late enough to use the star gazing chairs. Location worked really well for us, we headed to the beach on the west coast, did the 4 waterfalls walk and the show caves too. We would love to try the treehouse next time, it looks epic! Thank you for a lovely holiday! It was our first visit to Wales and we'll definitely come again.
