  • 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’ll all be beaming from ear to ear at 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 supremely 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: thanks to a winning combo of hot showers and hairdryers in the bathrooms, and a laundry with washing machines, dryers and irons, you can emerge from the hills looking pressed and clean enough for a literary luncheon, or a dapper dinner in town. (If you prefer your dining alfresco, barbecues are allowed on site.) 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… or savouring their stacks of paperbacks.

What customers say

Visitors praise the site's beautiful location, stunning views, and exceptionally clean and well-maintained facilities, particularly the modern, individual shower/toilet cubicles. Staff are consistently described as friendly, helpful, and welcoming. The grounds, including the orchard and wildflower meadows, are highlighted, as is the well-placed children's play area. While pitches are generally spacious, some noted they can be slightly sloping. Close proximity to Hay-on-Wye is a significant advantage.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (sloping, wild)

Liked The Wild Camping area is located at the back and is shielded from the camper van section. Beautiful scenery, quite and peaceful. Water supply was close to the pitch.
The toilets were clean. There was a wash-up area.

Disliked A bit hard to reach without a car.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (sloping, wild)

Liked Just home from a lovely long weekend and despite the rain we had a great time. It's a fab, well maintained site with lovely extra touches like the provided washing up liquid/ brushes and draining racks, a freezer for ice block refreezing and a charging point for devices/ power banks. Loved having the bathroom with shower, toilet and sink in a cubicle, deff the best bathrooms on a campsite we've seen and lovely and clean too! The small park was nice and central and great for smaller children. Even the dog was catered for with a dog walking route around the wild camping area and other areas on the site and plenty of dog poo bins dotted around.

We had some lovely walks from the site and also visits into hay on wye which isn't far away by car. We stayed in the wild camping area which had beautiful views and was so quiet in the evenings. The sloped pitches are manageable and large enough to be able to park by the tent even with a large tent. We're already talking about coming back next year again!

Non-electric grass tent pitch (sloping, wild)

Liked This site is maintained to an exceptional standard. Pitches are well spaced apart and the showers/ toilets are very well stocked and looked after. There are facilities to wash up, charge your phones and even refreeze cooler blocks if needed. The play area for children is super useful and the grounds are beautiful. And that is before you take in the stunning views.

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.
