  • 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 or build sandcastles on Saundersfoot beach? Both 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.

What customers say

This well-maintained site offers spacious, level pitches and a peaceful rural location. Visitors consistently praise the exceptionally friendly and helpful owners, clean facilities (particularly showers), and ample space for children to play. Glamping pods are noted as well-equipped and comfortable. The site is considered a great base for exploring Pembrokeshire. Some minor points raised include a lack of lighting on the campsite and limited hand-drying facilities in toilets.

10-amp electric grass pitch

Liked Spacious pitches, friendly hosts. Shower hot, but cold facilities.

Disliked We wouldn't stay here at peak times due to minimal toilet and shower facilities.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Many thanks for your review and thoughts. We are well within the national guidelines for shower and toilet facilities as we also have a family room available for those with younger children (3 showers and toilets for men and 3 showers and 4 toilets for women) Also, we only allow campers around the outside edge of the field, so never have too many on site. Thanks again

Very good stay. Highly recommended.…

Derwen camping pod

Liked Peaceful area, well kept grounds, lovely little pod, fresh bedding and friendly hosts

Disliked Not a dislike but a little internal storage in the pod would be beneficial and hand towels in the toilet would be great, had to use toilet paper to dry hands. Neither of which effected our enjoyable stay

Derwen camping pod

Liked Good location

Disliked No lighting on campsite. Mattress very uncomfortable with springs protruding.
Toilet block unclean. No bins, no way to dry hands, no shelves or hooks to put belongings on. Hadn’t been cleaned in a long while. No solid driveways (all grass) on site so only suitable for very dry conditions

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: We expect reviews like this when the weather is non stop rain.

10-amp electric grass pitch

Liked I loved the amount of space the children had to play, plenty of room for running around and ball games. The pitches were a good size and kept clean and tidy at all times.
The owners were very kind and helpful and never too far away if needed, they even give us the option to stay a few hours longer so we could dry are tent. We will 100% be returning.

FANTASTIC PLACE IF YOUR LOOKING FOR A CHILLED HOLIDAY, WITH PLENTY OF THINGS TO DO IN THE SURROUNDING AREA..

Disliked Nothing to dislike.

From the manager: Absolutely lovely review thank you. We're really please that you not only enjoyed your stay with us, but also everything that Pembrokeshire has to offer. Look forward to seeing you again soon.

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.
