Peaceful Powys site on a remote family-run sheep farm
A 25-minute drive to Welshpool; Gregynog Hall 20 minutes
Playground and dog run on site; guests can join in with farm tasks

If your main requirement for a place to stay in Powys is a peaceful spot with lovely green scenery all around, Carmel Caravan Park could well be the place for you. This place is rural and remote, with rather wonderful views of the hills all around – just the spot for a proper countryside chill-out. There’s a pub about five minutes’ drive away in the village of Cefn Coch, but that’s about it for local facilities; for shops, places to eat and other urban amenities you’ll need to head to Welshpool, about 25 minutes away. There are plenty of practical facilities on site, though – including a launderette, washing-up areas and a guest fridge-freezer, plus a smart modern bathroom block with accessible facilities and underfloor heating to keep your toes warm. In such a thoroughly rural setting you’ll really be able to throw yourselves into farming life if you want to. This is a family-run site where the owners have been offering a warm welcome for more than 60 years – and these days that includes offering guests the chance to help out with the everyday running of the place through things like lamb feeding in spring. Even if you don’t choose to get stuck in, you’ll no doubt want to say hello to the farm’s friendly pet sheep; they’re amenable to being taken for a walk too. For other countryside pursuits, there’s coarse and fly fishing available on site, and plenty of places to get out for walks nearby. Back on site, there’s a playground for the kids and a secure dog run where four-legged guests can get the zoomies out of their system.

Liked: When we arrived, we were greeted warmly and welcoming by the park's friendly owners. They guided us to our pitch and next to our in-laws.

The children's playpark was clean and well kept - our 5 year old daughter loved it. The shower block nearest to us was lovely and spotless.

There is no mobile phone signal nor internet, which was nice to be off grid for a while, although we did purchase a token for wifi for only £3 for 1 day.

The friendly owners of the caravan park were also in the middle of their lambing season, and nothing was too much trouble - routinely popping by to check we were ok and if we needed anything. They even offered our daughter to see the lambs.

The roads to the park are a little twisty and windy, however the beautiful views and scenery were totally worth it.

We shall definately return!

Local attractions

It’s all about the outdoor activities around here – ask the team on site for tips on places to get out for a walk nearby, or base your stroll around a landmark like Dolforwyn Castle (25 minutes’ drive) or Lake Vyrnwy (45 minutes). For two-wheeled adventures, try the off-road trails at Caersws Bike Park (25 minutes). Meanwhile, for gentler days out you could choose to take a ride on the Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway (15 minutes) or opt for a stroll through the gorgeous gardens at Gregynog Hall (20 minutes). Or, if you’d like a further fix of animal encounters, sign up to meet the big birds at Falconry Experience Wales (five minutes) or go for a woolly walk at Mid Wales Alpacas Trek and Experience (15 minutes). If you’re heading over to Welshpool (25 minutes), plan to spend some time at the National Trust’s Powis Castle and Garden while you’re there, or take a walk along the Montgomery Canal towpath.
