What customers say
This adult-only spot offers chill wild camping with awesome views. Hosts Jane and Ian get rave reviews for their hospitality. Facilities like showers and a communal kitchen are spotless and top-notch. Your dog will love the secure field too! Enjoy the sunset shack, fire pits, and heaps of wildlife. A few pitches cop a bit of road noise or are a bit steep, but folks reckon it’s a ripper and plan to come back.

A wonderful hidden gem
Tipi (wild)
Liked Beautiful peaceful campsite. I stayed in the wild tipi and had the most wonderful time.
Gorgeous views, great clean amenities and perfect hosts. As a solo female traveller I felt very safe and I can’t wait to stay again

A perfect campsite. Highly recommend.
Mavis tipi
Liked This is a wonderful campsite. We stayed in the Mavis tipi which was perfectly kitted out. The plot was secluded and faced out onto the river and fields. The campsite had a great rural and meandering feel to it with each plot in its own little glade. The facilities at the top were great with places to sit and chill. The hospitality was the best though. Ian and Jane were so kind and helpful, helping us out when we got a hiking injury and offering to help with our luggage. Definitely want to return and spend a little more time there.

Mary yurt
Liked We stayed in a lovely, cosy yurt that was thoughtfully stocked with all the essentials. The setting is beautiful, and the owners were so friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Their homemade pizzas are a must-try – we’d definitely recommend them! All in all, a wonderful experience and we’d happily stay again.

Unpowered grass tent site (wild)
Liked Great communication with the owners - helped us out a lot and made us feel very welcome! Perfect peaceful campsite with lovely views. Only stayed here the one night so didn't make use of all the facilities but really enjoyed our stay. Our pitch was spacious and felt super private and the toilets were as clean as they could be in the wild!

Dafyyd unpowered grass and earth tent site
Liked Absolutely everything was fantastic. What a beautiful, rustic, quirky little site. Gorgeous view, relaxed atmosphere, lovely walks, the river running through to name but a few of the highlights.
The owners are really lovely and welcoming and their attention to detail very impressive. The toilets/showers and kitchenette all spotlessly clean and the sunset shack to die for with sofas, all day sunshine and gorgeous views. Add all of this to the fact you can take your dog/s and the package is special.
We camped on Daffyd which had all day sun, outside firepit and lovely views of the countryside.
If you don't fancy camping then try the yurt or tips, all with outdoor, private space with firepits. The yurt interior looks gorgeous.
I highly recommend you try this little haven we will certainly be back. Thank you again both.
Disliked The walk to the shop is a little difficult with no pavements, but doable.
