Camping pod (adults only, no pets)

Liked Unfortunately there was nothing that we can honestly say that we liked .We were booked in for 2 nights but only stayed for one.

Disliked Everything was scruffy . The showers and toilets were not clean.
This is advertised as ‘Glamping’which is a completely untrue statement.We would never stay again .

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Our toilets and showers are cleaned each morning and the pods are basic but have everything as advertised on the page.
Thanks for the feedback

Clean and cosy little glamping pod.…

Camping pod (adults only, no pets)

Liked Clean and cosy little glamping pod. It has a little oil heater which was such a luxury to have on a camping trip. The owners were friendly and the food at the pub were just what you need after a day's walking. Toilets and shower were very clean.

Would go again, 100% recommend

Local attractions

What horizons to set your sights on first? Well, for those of you who have historical sites high up on your holiday to-do list, there are a few places to get started and Powis Castle (10 minutes' drive) is one of the closest out of the lot. This huge Welsh castle has some splendid garden terraces and walks in the grounds are a real treat… For less walking and more chugging about, steam train trips go from the Welshpool and Llanfair Railway Preservation Company (10 minutes). To continue with your historic streak, The Wharf Powysland Museum (10 minutes) spills the beans on Montgomeryshire’s local history, while for ruins, Montgomery Castle (15 minutes) and the Mitchell's Fold Stone Circle (20 minutes) are some of your options. Of course, activities-wise, walking is particularly fine around this area, especially in the Shropshire Hills National Landscape (20 minutes) and Snowdonia National Park (40 minutes) but the kids in your group could cheer on the pig races or meet the alpacas at Park Hall’s adventure farm (25 minutes). Meanwhile, the adults might prefer to go for a laidback game of golf at the Brookland Hall Golf Club (10 minutes).
