What customers say
Fantastic spot, with brilliant views & tranquil woodland. Owners John & family are super welcoming. Cosy, clean pods/cottages with private BBQs & fire pits. Hot tubs get rave reviews. Minor quibbles on parking walk, loo doors & what's included. Overall, a cracking stay, people can't wait to come back!

This is a great little family run place 👏
Camping pod (large)
Liked My 6 year old granddaughter and I stayed in the 1 bed barn October half term and was lucky with the weather. Nant Bach has 2 land pods and 1 small barn which all have use of a log hot tub (which we used both nights of our stay) I can imagine the view looking over to the coast in the summer is special . Super comfy king bed with separate kitchen area and loo & shower. All very clean. Fantastic location love this part of Wales with all of the wildlife around. John the owner was very helpful on both nights with starting the log burner for us. My granddaughter loved the hot tub as it was end of October and a lovely warm treat! We both walked over golf course and back along beach to the famous Ty Coch Inn. Fond memories of going here as a child❤️ Anyway thank you to John and his team for allowing us to stay. Would recommend!! Ps close to some stunning coast
Disliked Nothing other than a few recycling points for your used plastics etc. There maybe one that I missed I’m not sure

Camping pod
Liked Lovely 1 night stay in the camping pod which was a revelation! So warm and cosy on a chilly October night, wonderful facilities and very welcoming hosts.
Disliked The hot tub got barely warm at most. Even with a full bag of wood it took two hours to burn through and was still lukewarm. Very disappointing. Would recommend 2 bags minimum and start heating it early!!!

Camping pod
Liked Wow we loved everything about this little hideaway from life. The pod was super cosy with comfy beds, there was a kitchen with kettle & fridge & super clean toilet and shower. A hot tub fuelled by fire with the most gorgeous views, fireplace, bbq and plenty of furniture. We were left a hamper with wine, biscuits and crisps and the owners couldn't have been more hospitable or helpful. No mobile signal, just us amongst a beautiful setting. We'll definitely be back. Thank you 🫶

Proper glamping, family friendly, cosy off-road location.
Camping pod
Liked Love this place! We didn't know what to expect but for two adults and two small ones looking for adventure, the isolated glam pod in the wooded area was perfect :-)
There is another pod with a clearer landscape view if that's your thing, and two larger 'comfort' options, all set in a small very family friendly, community encampment.
The hot tub is, as others have stated, a lovely extra, wood fired with a quality landscape, and therefore absolutely right for the glamping experience.
We did 4 days, found the beach, did the shopping in nearby Pwhelli and found an indoor play / bowling area, with outdoor go-karting ... I'm sure there's lots more, this part of Wales is great location.
Parking with our van was an issue, so we were given allowed access to the farm car park, otherwise this would have been our only minor whinge.

Totally BRILLIANT The 5 year old was delighted & we unwound perfectly
Camping pod (large)
Liked What a remarkable place. We had a wonderful stay. The pod, the firepit, hot tub, kitchen, scenery, atmosphere are all first class. Friendly family run with lovely touches which welcome and delight. They really have thought of everything to make your stay a real escape and totally relaxed.
Disliked Parking worked like a treat the first night. Instructions were clear and the grass path that led from the cow shed to the gated parking was all communicated to us perfectly. The second night parking was a bit trickier as both us and the residents in the other pod both had big vehicles and getting us both into the parking area ensuring that we could both get out again was a bit tricky.

Liked Absolutely loved our long weekend here . What a little oasis this place is . Stayed in the lovely self contained cottage. Met all our needs . Quaint little court yard which had beautiful views and perfect sunsets . Hot tub was a perfect add on too. Can’t recommend enough . Comfy , clean and cosy . Great host who made sure you were comfortable. Easy check in and communication. Couldn’t fault anything 😊

Camping pod
Liked Great location with amazing views.
Friendly owners.
Camping pod was great (possibly a bit tight for 4 people but we took a pop up tent for the eldest to stay in).
Facilities were great (powerfull shower).
Hot tub overlooking the hills is a fantastic touch.
Disliked Walk from the car park to the pod was a bit of a pain.
Door to the toilet/shower is a bit "rustic" so take a towel to cover the gap.

A beautiful hut with private kitchen, wash facilities in rural area.
1 bedroom cottage / chalet / bungalow
Liked We stayed for only one night much to our dismay. We could have spent the week there! The hut was so cosy with all the amenities you could possibly need. The bed was very cosy and comfortable too. The woodfired hot tub was a lovely addition especially after a long day of hiking.
John was so welcoming and informative.
There was a bbq within our space that we enjoyed both for dinner and later as a fire pit.
The stay was so beautiful we were sad to leave, but we will definitely be back.
