  • Peaceful rural site a 15-minute walk from the village pub
  • Half an hour from the beaches of the south and west coasts
  • Firepit hire available on site, with wood and kindling to buy
Fancy a spot of rural relaxation a short walk from the village pub and with easy access to the famed Welsh castles and coastline? Then take a break at Y Bwthyn, a peaceful place surrounded by farmland and a 15-minute trot from the pub in Llandissilio. Energetic small fry (and accompanying canines) can romp about with impunity at this spacious site, and there’s plenty of stuff nearby to fuel holiday smiles too. Perhaps they’d like to play at being knights at Laugharne Castle, build sandcastles on Saundersfoot beach or have a go on the heart-thumping rides at Oakwood? All are within a half-hour drive. Guests are welcome to set up their own barbecue or campfire for warm alfresco soirées (sensible locations away from the pitches only please, peeps) and individual firepits, wood and kindling are available to request on arrival for an extra charge. All the basics are provided for a comfy stay: the toilet and shower block is sited on the accommodation field, and has separate facilities for ladies and gents.

Conin camping pod

Liked: We have stayed at Y Bwthyn numerous times and every time it gets better. We are always welcomed with a smile. Since we last stayed the toilet blocks have been updated, which is much better now. Lovely calm and quiet site, close to Narbeth & Tenby.

Derwen camping pod

Liked: Very quiet peaceful site and well laid out. If you are staying with children it is very safe as all the pitches are on the edge of the field leaving plenty of room in the middle of the field for kids to play. We stayed in one of the pods which was warm and cosy. Has electricity, fridge, microwave, kettle and a tv and a comfy bed. The showers were lovely and hot and the toilet block is lit at night for safety. Very friendly owner made us feel very welcome. The site is ideally placed for exploring Pembrokeshire everywhere is no more than a 30/40 min drive. Narberth is a few mins drive and has a good shop for supplies. Would definitely recommend this site for a lovely peaceful getaway.

Local attractions

Half an hour’s drive takes you down to the beaches of the south coast, including the sandy stretches at Saundersfoot and Tenby, from where you can also take a boat trip out of the harbour to try your luck spotting the local seals. Active types can pick up the Pembrokeshire Coast Path from Tenby to take a ramble along part of its 186-mile length in search of cliffs, coves and castles; a popular stretch is the eight-mile section from Tenby to Manorbier Castle. Those who’d rather take to the sea can hire motorboats, kayaks and jetskis in Tenby, or have a go at waterskiing or wakeboarding. Surfing types can head west to Newgale, just over half an hour away and a well known fave for boarders. There’s always a castle nearby in this part of Wales, and at Y Bwthyn your nearest examples are Picton Castle, 20 minutes away, and Laugharne Castle, half an hour’s drive away. Picton looks like a classic castle from the outside, but has been restored inside as a smart stately home – a rather fab mash-up of styles. Leave time to walk through the woods and visit the Secret Owl Garden, too. Laugharne, in contrast, is an atmospheric ruin that overlooks the Taf estuary and provides some imagination-firing glimpses into 12th-century life. Oakwood Theme Park and the Blue Lagoon waterpark are both around a 20-minute drive away.
