  • Spacious and peaceful site with lovely Brecon Beacons views
  • Within half an hour's drive of hill walks, canoeing and horse riding
  • A 10-minute drive from Hay-on-Wye and the Hay Festival site
Question: what do bookworms, mountain bikers, hikers and heritage railway buffs have in common? Answer: they should all be making a beeline for Borders Hideaway Holiday Home Park in Herefordshire: this small but spacious site is on the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park, under five minutes’ drive from the village of Clyro and 10 minutes from the antiquarian book browsers’ haven of Hay-on-Wye. If you want to load up with paperbacks and hide away in the hills perusing them, this site’s a suitable venue, with space and solitude, country views and a sensory garden to soothe your other senses. It’s also a comfy base to come back to after days filled with active stuff in the area; there's a splendid combo of hot showers and hairdryers in the bathrooms. With an eye for the small but significant details, the kids’ playground is centrally placed so grownups can keep an eye on younger party members while they continue sizzling sausages (barbecues are permitted on site)… or savouring their stacks of paperbacks.

Electric grass pitch (family)

Liked Spacious pitches, clean bathrooms, park in the middle of the touring field was perfect for the kids. They loved the Easter activity and exploring all around the different areas. Staff were amazing and checked on all of us after we battled with storm Dave. Definitely planning to come again in the summer

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Very clean, immaculate site! Liked the shower/toilet/sink cubicles. Liked the piped music in the showers.

Disliked Pitches quite close together,especially if using awnings. Don't agree with extra charge for awnings when already paid for pitch.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Beautiful, well maintained site. Very clean facilities. Toilets and sinks adapted for young children (steps and seats). Playground right next to the pitch. Levelling blocks and bbq bases available free of charge. Water taps right next to the pitch. Relatively good signal. Free WiFi. Picturesque scenery with sheep and horses in the near by field. Nicest park we’ve stayed on by a country mile!

Disliked We did not dislike anything. But, if we have to nitpick, slope on site can cause wonky caravan. We were well aware of this at booking. The site has done everything in their power to mitigate this. The chemical toilet disposal was difficult to flush. These were the TINY issues that we didn’t even consider to be proper negatives.

Barbara B.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Excellent campsite, very nicely maintained and facilities were very good and spotlessly clean with pitches that were well spaced. We also found that the WiFi was very good as sometimes it’s included but only works in limited areas.
One of the best campsites we have stayed at in terms of covering most of the things that make for a comfortable and stress free stay.

Disliked Nothing to dislike as everything was very good.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Spacious pitches; spotlessly clean facilities (and for once, shower cubicles with lots of hooks for towel, clothes etc - a rarity on other sites!!); really lovely and helpful staff; gorgeous views; great location (very quiet, yet close to Hay-on-Wye); really well maintained site; lovely 'additions' like the play area, orchard and gardens. We'll definitely stay again!

Local attractions

Once you’ve filled your boots in Hay-on-Wye’s numerous bookshops, there’s more to do in town, including exploring the castle, strolls and picnics by the river, and fortifying stops in the many hostelries and eateries. If you fancy further river ventures, make for Glasbury (10 minutes' drive away) to hire canoes and kayaks for trips down the Wye. Should you prefer the ease of an engine-driven craft, the base at Llangattock (40 minutes) has cruisers for daily hire. If it’s walks at height you’re after, Talgarth (15 minutes) is a starting point for paths up the Black Mountains’ highest peak, Waun Fach; for gentle wooded wanders with a waterfall at the end, plus wildlife spotting on the way, head over to the Pwll y Wrach nature reserve (20 minutes). To see the Beacons on horseback, there are treks of various lengths from Llangorse Multi Activity Centre (25 minutes), as well as indoor climbing and high up zipwires and rope walks both inside and out. If that’s not energetic enough, Oakerwood Leisure (40 minutes) has pastimes like paintballing, quad biking and clay pigeon shooting to get the adrenaline pumping. Historical type? Clamber round ancient sites like Crickhowell Castle and Llanthony Priory (35 and 45 minutes), puff through the hills on the Brecon Mountain Railway from Pant (50 minutes), or descend deep into mining heritage at the Big Pit National Coal Museum, an hour away.
