  • Wild camping on a hilltop farm near Lampeter, Carmarthenshire
  • A 20-minute drive to Cae Hir Gardens; half an hour to Aberaeron Beach
  • Dog-friendly site with livestock; shops and pubs 10 minutes’ drive
Go back to basics with an off-grid break at Pyllau, a pop-up site on a family-run farm with outstanding views over the Welsh valleys and hills around Lampeter. Book an overnight stay when visiting family or friends at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David, or settle down for longer to explore this peaceful corner of Carmarthenshire. However long you stay, you’re sure to be warmly greeted by the site menagerie, consisting of horses and ponies, pigs and cows – there’s a friendly resident cat too. While dogs are welcomed on the site, it goes without saying that they need to be closely controlled due to the presence of livestock. Lampeter (10 minutes’ drive) is where you’ll find supermarkets for picking up barbecue supplies (bring your own gear from home). If you don’t fancy cooking, search out the local pubs, where you can get a good pint and food. Please note that this is wild camping in the true sense of the word, and there are no showers and no electricity on the camping field.

Guests enjoyed a peaceful and beautiful farm stay with friendly animals and helpful owners. The site offers lovely views, ample space, and clean facilities. While the location can be tricky to find initially, taking it slow and looking for the sign is recommended. Mobile reception is excellent throughout.

Non-electric grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Absolutely loved the stay! Had a superb location just under a tree which came as a salvation during the heat wave, owners great, really friendly and around in case of anything... Facilities kept clean. Definitely an exciting experience with all the different animals around but not overwhelming. There are activities on-site refer to FB/website. My mobile reception on full everywhere there.
Off-road track leading up to the farm heads-up go slow 😉. Also noticed people commented about finding the location but no need to panic, it looks a bit like concealed entrance once close to location just drive slower and there is a white sign on entrance hedge level for Peaceful Pools Wellbeing Farm.
