  • Off-grid glamping site on a farm on the slopes of Hope Mountain
  • Half an hour’s drive from Chester and the North Wales coast
  • 20-acre setting with a field kitchen, barbecues and firepits
Why do people gravitate to Ty Uchaf Farm Glamping? For the stunning sunsets, starry skies, gorgeous views and peaceful wildlife, for sure. However, the location also leaves many hankering to return after they spend time getting to know historic Chester and the North Wales coast, which are both half an hour’s drive away. This is a place for off-grid glamping holidays and short breaks, tucked onto the slopes of Hope Mountain in the North Wales borders. The small farm base is surrounded by the Welsh countryside, with barbecues, firepits and 20 acres to its name. Plenty of space to explore? Tick. Low impact? Double tick: there’s solar and woodfired energy. The site is peaceful, green and refreshing, with attentive hosts. They created their two-acre glamping field from a meadow where the cows used to graze, and they leave parts of the grass long and wide hedgerows for native grasses, wildflowers and hedges to grow (minimising the visual impact and maximising the guests’ privacy). This all comes together to create a fab combo of comfort and wildlife. In the toilet shack, the shower has no roof (it’s been fondly named ‘The Sky’s the Limit Shower’, due to its position under the trees and open sky). Elsewhere, there’s a field kitchen with a gas hob, sink, food prepping space and spare supplies of firewood, charcoal and marshmallows. There are tables nearby to tuck in over views of Moel Famau, the tallest peak in the Clwydian Hills, as well as a sustainable greywater reed bed and pond. This takes all of the water from the sinks and showers and urine from composting toilets to turn it into fresh water for the pond

Ty Seren camping pod

Liked Everything! Just the best experience. Pods were comfortable, clean and had all we needed. The site was beautiful with lots to do nearby and great pub within walking distance. Out of a holiday that included mountain climbing, the beach, and the zoo, our children's said their favorite part was 'Robin and the chickens'. Robin was fantastic and my eldest (8 years), who is neurodiverse, took to him faster than she has with anyone outside of the family. He was very patient with her, which meant she felt brave enough to chat away, ask questions and join in feeding the chickens - which was so wonderful to see. Thank you for the fab holiday!

Disliked The only thing we didn't like was leaving.

Ty Seren camping pod

Liked We had a wonderful couple of nights here. My first little break just myself and the girls and they had the best time. Robin is so kind and patient with the children, letting them get involved with feeding the animals and sharing his knowledge. The pod had everything we needed and more. The little touches when we arrived were really appreciated, especiallyby the children. We will definitely visit again when it gets cooler, so we can take full advantage of the log burner. Thank you for a great break!

Ty Seren camping pod

Liked The views for miles. The peacefulness. the chickens were a massive hit with our children. They were so friendly. Last of all the host - Robin was absolutely fantastic with us. Couldn’t be more helpful . The kids loved him. He was great with the children feeding the lambs and hens and nothing was a problem. Thank you so much for a lovely weekend.

Disliked We had to go home.

Ty Seren camping pod

Liked Pretty much everything about the site, it’s private and secure enough to feel like your children are safe, it’s pretty, lovely views, the chickens, the faculties, although composting toilets are to get used to 😆 Robin is great for keeping you up to date with what is going on nearby the site, he checks in to make sure you’re happy with everything on message, extremely helpful. I even left some items behind and he posted them back to me. We will be back and have recommended the site to friends too. Excellent

Disliked Not really a dislike, but the composting toilets do take a little getting used to. That said, they’re really well designed, thoughtfully maintained, and fit perfectly with the eco-friendly feel of the campsite.

Ty Coed camping pod

Liked Beautiful location, didn't need to bring anything but food and clothes, lots of eco credentials. Robin the owner was brilliant, gave us lots of advice about what to do in the area, left out treats for the kids, let them feed the chickens and the lambs and had thought of everything we could possibly want.

Ty Coed camping pod

Liked Good morning

Thanks for the hospitality over the time of our stay, the location was beautiful, peaceful and we could have stayed for even longer.
The pod was fantastic, very comfortable and cosy on a night with the burner on which we managed to light after reading your hints and tips.
The local pub was a great suggestion lovely food and great atmosphere.
Thanks for letting us feed the sheep on a morning it was a very kind gesture and I think we will miss Steve the most who spent last night sitting with us up the pod and then again for breakfast.
Look forward to returning next year and enjoying the peace and quiet
Take care

The UNESCO World Heritage Site of Pontcysyllte Aqueduct (25 minutes) will surely take one of the top spots.
