Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Beautiful, natural place to camp. Really quiet and pitched well spaced out. The owners were really friendly and helpful when we needed directions, and we're really attentive bringing us a fire pit and logs. We lived waking up to the peaceful sounds of nature, overall a really relaxing stay and would definitely come again.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked The location was amazing. So secluded and peaceful. Our hosts were very warm and friendly, and clearly cared a lot for the land. We loved the firepit, and the ability to order logs.
Disliked The only things I would say that could be improved would be having access to drinking water, and if possible, access to a shower or somewhere to clean yourself up.
Recommend to friends Visit again
Would stay here anytime. Proper camping no interruptions.

Great quiet pitch. Hilly - but hey it’s wales !
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Lovely views of the Berwyn range. Nobody else in sight. Even got most of my gear taken up the hill on quad which I was very thankful for as it’s very steep. It was my choice to go up to the top for views as there were plenty of spaces down at bottom.
Disliked Nothing really. As usual the wind blows hard in wales so make sure you take appropriate gear. Ground is skate / shake so you may need to secure pegs with rock weights but plenty about.
