Weekend Trip to Westland Farm

We had a lovely time at the farm, 2 adults and 2 kids staying at the Drover's hut. Nicky was super lovely and even showed our boys around the chicken coops. The beds were comfy and the hot tub was great too.

Weekend Trip to Nordic Glamping at Botswicky

Absolutely amazing! Couldn’t have asked for more from Emma and Vidar (hosts) or the accommodation we stayed in (Hazel). Beautiful, clean and tidy site. Equally as pristine sleeping, cooking and toilet/shower facilities too. We stayed one night but will be back for more.

Weekend Trip to Radcot Leisure on Thames

Great location by the river, the bell tents were well spaced out and spacious inside.

7 nights at Farrs Meadow

We loved it. The meadow is beautiful and during our week in May we awoke to the sound of cookoos every morning - joy. We were in the smaller Yurt which was really warm and comfortable. David was really available and bought us wood for the fire when we needed. Classic camping and a wonderful escape from the city! Thanks David.

5 nights at Cuddfan - The Hiding Place

Great location, secluded but close to crickhowell. Amazing bird song. Nice river. Loved the ease of camping we without putting up a tent. We stayed in the wild camp bell tent.

Weekend Trip to Smugglers Cove Boatyard

The site is in a fantastic location, the boat had everything we needed, the site facilities were very good, the woodburner was wonderful, we loved seeing occasional trains go past, our reactive rescue dog loved having the beach areaa to himself. A problem was sorted out within half an hour.

Beautiful place, very friendly and helpful hosts. Lovely little village nearby (walking distance) and loads of nature to enjoy. 5 stars. Will come back for sure!

4 nights at Smugglers Cove Boatyard

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on The Hannah! The location is absolutely stunning and the boat stay was a brilliant change from our usual tent camping. After a few bumped heads from the lower cabin inside, we quickly got used to life aboard. The boat is well equipped with plenty of your basics and some thoughtful additions (including a cool looking radio/CD player). Sophie was a brilliant host and very quickly sorted out a query for us (thank you!!!). Pretty much all of our time, though, was spent outside soaking up the stunning views, watching the birdlife (including one the local Ospreys!) and cooking on the firepit. In the evenings we regularly heard a Nightjar and Tawny Owls, it really was wonderful. The information pack emailed to us recommended a train trip from nearby Penhelig station to Barmouth on the Cambrian Coast Line. We did this and would recommend this too! Beautiful journey with gorgeous views on either side. If you’re looking for a break away from the usual, it’s definitely well worth a stay at Smuggler’s Cove.

2 nights at Smugglers Cove Boatyard

This was absolutely right up our street - quirky, amazing views, relaxedn with a great ambience from the record player (cant beat a bit of Matt Monro!). HIghly recommend as an unusual stay away from it all. Our dog loved it as well.

Weekend Trip to Cuddfan - The Hiding Place

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

The camp site is great! Hot shower hit the spot! Fire pit was awesome! Tranquil sound of running water from the river! Overall a very good spot! Would recommend!

Weekend Trip to Nordic Glamping at Botswicky

Had such a lovely time here, it was in a perfect location and wonderful touches across the site. The overhead showers and kitchen area were just perfect!

Weekend Trip to Westland Farm

Nicky and her son were very friendly and helpful. Showed us around and left us to it but when I did need them they were a phone call away and very helpful. Cabin was beautiful and so peaceful. We stayed for two nights. Walked to the reservoir which was worth it.
