Rita cabin
Liked A beautiful campsite. They have thought of everything here. There’s a little honesty shop for eggs, sausages, jam etc. We stayed in the cabin and it was really well equipped, it had its own toilet and shower and lovely views to wake up to. The owners are probably the friendliest owners I’ve ever met on a campsite & the food they provided was spot on. The facilities were all great too and the village was close enough to walk. All in all a relaxing weekend…we will be back!

Mary yurt
Liked Where to start, this site/farm is run by the most welcoming, lovely people! With fresh produce for sale such as eggs, sausages and all sorts of jars of goods!
We stayed in the Mart Yurt and it was stunning! Beautiful inside and out and a great introduction to our first time glamping.
We took part in the pizza night which was home cooked pizzas in a pizza oven and home cooked wedges which were beautiful.
The toilet facilities and shower and clean and well looked after, there is a shared kitchen area also which has a kettle and microwave.
The private compost toilet and outdoor shower with the yurt were also exceptionally clean and well looked after.
And the price, for a bank holiday weekend in summer was so very reasonable!!
Genuinely could not be happier with our stay. Thank you

Best camping spot ever
Tipi (wild)
Liked Best camping spot we've ever stayed. Unbelievably blissful and serene, little slice of heaven. We stayed in the wild tipi, such a gorgeous view and the lovely babbling stream to wake up to. Really clean and quiet campsite, run by teo exceptionally wonderful hosts with amazing pizza skills! We joined the other campers for a saturday pizza night and were blown away by the homemade wedgies, salad and woodfire pizzas 🥰 we had a go at fishing in the Cain river by our camp, and we explored the local lake and went wild swimming in the Rhiwagor Waterfall pools whilst we were here, well worth a trip!

A wonderful time
Tipi (wild)
Liked Peaceful and beautiful, gorgeous scenery, great clean amenities and lovely friendly owners. Stayed in wild tipi which is a private pitch and perfect for a little hybrid camping trip when you don’t want to deal with packing and pitching a tent.
One of my favourite places to just relax, unwind and have a little peace.
Disliked Loved it all

Tipi (wild)
Liked What a magical place! My partner and I had the best time staying in the wild tipi over a long weekend and it was exactly what we were looking for. Ian and Jane were incredible hosts and gave us lots of recommendations for non-locals. Can’t recommend enough, we will be back!
