Liked: Realy beautiful place to stay at the top of the hill overlooking the sea and the brecon beacons. Tim was really understanding and helpful. I booked the wrong date and he let me change it. He brought me an egg from the chickens in the morning for breakfast. The campsite is really peaceful and it's close to the gorge which is also beautiful

Unpowered grass tent site
Liked: Plenty of space, good views and hospitable host. There are plenty of walks nearby and pubs a short walk down the hill. In terms of layout, there is a small field at the top with 8 large pitches, note no electric hookups or wifi, this site is great if you want to get back to bssics. Down the hill there is a barn with a couple of section off rooms either end containing porterpotties. There is an outside sink with clean running water. Further down the hill there are hens, swings and hammocks. The grounds are beautiful and very peaceful
Disliked: For us the portapotties was not an issue however I can see how some more modern families may struggle.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Glad you had a good time despite the rain. To be fair the portapotties are rarely an issue and blend in with our almost off grid and almost wild camping vibe. Hope to see you again.

Liked: Absolutely gorgeous site with stunning views. Tim was very knowledgeable about the local area, recommending walks and places to eat and drink. If you're looking a site with no frills but a relaxed and welcoming feel, then this is it, even my 14 year old son managed to put his phone down for a while to go exploring. We'll definitely be returning in the Spring

From the manager: So glad you all had a good time. Thank you for a lovely review. See you again.

Batch Belle bell tent
Liked: Friendly welcoming host, very knowledgeable of local area and plenty of recommendations. Beautiful location with views over to Wales surrounded by wildlife. We stayed in a pre-pitched Bell tent that was clean and tidy inside. Basic cooking tools and camping chairs was provide which we didn't expect. Feel the pre-pitched tent is really good value and excellent for those unable to transport all the equipment needed for camping.
Disliked: We didn't realise the toilets would be caravan toilets In stable blocks which my friends struggled with... however they were always clean and maintained. They were far better than any festival toilets I've been in just a little on the very basic side.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: WE do make it clear on all the websites we use that this is "almost wild camping". I'm sorry your friends were unaware we use caravan style toilets. We'll try and make sure it's more obvious in our descriptions.
