Orchard 1 bedroom cabin
Liked: One of the best places we've ever stayed! Loved the cabin, the privacy, the orchard, peace and quiet, outdoor shower, comfy bed and chairs, dining on the decking, compost loo. Our dog also had a great time zooming (on long lead) in the entrance field! Close to Aber and Borth. We hope to return!
Disliked: Cooker was temperamental, but owner quickly supplied a spare. A glass or plastic bowl for microwave cooking would be useful, and a small mirror near the sink. But minor issues. We've previously stayed in a few shepherds huts but liked this cabin better, much roomier.

Meadow primitive grass campsite
Liked: Really lovely, quiet and peaceful campsite. Pitches are a great distance apart for privacy and peace. Very relaxed as we just pulled up and pitched where we liked. Very convenient area as close to Aberystwyth City but still feel like you're in the middle of nowhere. Facilities are basic but still do the job.
Disliked: Was a bit too chilly for an open top shower and there was no where to put my clothes as it was raining and didn't want them on the wet floor so had to get my partner to hold them for me.

Primitive grass tent campsite (backpacker, no cars)
Liked: Lovely atmosphere on this site. Peaceful, spacious, proper facilities for real campers (nothing posh but all good). Love the gas powered showers and the sheltered cooking area can be a real bonus.
