Liked: Quiet orchard setting, good location half way between Brecon & Hay-on-Wye. Toilets/shower block was clean. Host was welcoming and knowledgable about the local area. Firepits (with wood for an additional charge) on offer on an evening.

Liked: Lovely low key site in a beautiful Orchard. Owners were really helpful and make you feel at home. Fire pits included in the very reasonable price. Cider tap house next door is a must. Lovely nature trail to walk the dog.

Orchard non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: What an absolute find! We booked last minute the night before (decided on a whim to hike the black mountains and needed somewhere to sleep after). Took our eldest son (12) and a small tent. So easy to book, turned up and there was a helpful sign telling us to pitch and check in after 5. We were met by the owner who was very lovely and explained what was available as well as what was in the local area (talked us into doing another ascent the next morning since it was so close before we came back home, loved Hays Bluff!). The orchard we pitched in was picture perfect. We were lucky enough to be the only ones there so it was very quiet. The weather was too wet and windy for a fire so We popped in to meet Adrien in the tap room next door and tried his beers (😋 very decent). We had an early night (shattered from doing the dragons back) and used the very clean and well kept washrooms and showers before heading home. We’ll definitely be back again, cannot overstate how lovely and easy it was. Thanks so much!
Disliked: Only sad we could stay longer

Liked: Beautiful campsite amongst an orchard. Very low tech, which is what we wanted, but impressively clean washing up area and washroom with hot showers. The on site cider press was lovely to come back to after a day canoeing in the Wye. We enjoyed several local ciders and a charcuterie platter.
