  • Off-grid eco-glamping with spectacular coastal Carmarthenshire views
  • Pembrokeshire Coast Path 10 minutes’ walk; Pendine beach 20 mins’ walk
  • Adults-only site welcoming dogs on a lead only and horses
Set on a 37-acre farm with spectacular views to Carmarthen and Saundersfoot bays – you can see the Devon coastline on clear days – Bryn a Môr is an adults-only glamping spot with a few luxurious and ultra-private units tucked into woodland copses. In line with the site’s green aims, it’s off grid (although charging facilities are available), so cannot cope with any high-energy appliances, and there is a strict recycling policy, with bins provided. Dogs are welcome, as long as they're kept on a lead at all times. At 10 minutes’ drive from Pendine (where you can pick up grocery basics), the accommodation is accessed via a long track skirting a wooded valley with three beaches within 40 minutes’ walking distance. The Pembrokeshire Coast Path is 10 minutes’ stroll from the property, backed by craggy cliffs popular with climbers. All the deluxe units have a distinctive decor with woodburners to keep them cosy, and there are kitchen facilities for simple campfire suppers too. Shared amenities include an LPG-powered shower producing reliably hot water – welcome after a day of beachcombing or hiking – and a spotless, well-maintained compost loo, plus a washing-up area with a gas hob for heating water. There's also a communal tipi with beanbags and cushions, which all guests can use as a relaxation space. You can also cosy up around the communal firepit and keep warm while stargazing on clear nights. Other activities available on site include horse livery and encounters with the site’s resident horses (you can add either of these as an extra with your booking). If you’ve left the car at home, the site owners can pick you up from Pendine if notified in advance. The glamping site is a little walk from the car park, so guests are offered a wheelbarrow to transport their belongings. A fridge is located in the barn by the car park, so bring a coolbox if you wish to have your cooled items near to hand.

Coed Bach unpowered forest floor tent site

Liked: Bryn a Môr was such a great find! We always look for sites that feel like a nice hybrid between wild camping and having facilties like a toilet and shower nearby, and this delivered perfectly. The site is really close to a number of secluded beaches and some lovely walks. The facilties - compost toilet, hot shower, outdoor sink and indoor stove, recycling- were amazing, super clean and it was basically just us using them. Everyone was super friendly and helpful, and the resident dog was a particular highlight.

From the manager: It was so lovely to meet you both, and I was very pleased to teach you some willow weaving too! Hoping to see you again next year :-)

Coed Bach unpowered forest floor tent site

Liked: The hosts are really welcoming and give you a tour of the site to make sure you know where everything is. The camp site has a really nice tranquil feel to it, and each pitch is spread out, so you have a quiet space to yourself. Camping under the tree was a nice way to get some extra cover and made me feel extra close to nature in my tent.

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review and glad you loved the pitch under the chestnut tree! It's our favorite too :-)

Liked: Beautiful location, close access to beach

Disliked: Strict pack up time for no real reason. Unfriendly owner. Camped with friends and had a lovely stay until the owner got shirty on the last day over being 15mins over the check out time. Check out time had not been stated on any information we had been given and check in time is after 3pm for a tent site…no cleaning required. Also additional charges for dogs for no real reason as no additional cleaning required for a tent site…potential to be a beautiful site without the human factor.

From the manager: This guest says there was no stated leaving time - it is clearly stated on pitch up as 11am. This guest repeatedly let their dog off a lead - despite it being clearly stated this wasn't allowed. We have now decided not to accept dogs because of this guest's behaviour. So other guests with dogs now can't enjoy our beautiful place. This guest is why we charged for dogs, as they can be a nuisance to other guests and to the host. This guest was given free firewood and loaned extra matresses for their comfort. We received no thanks at all. Their review is both factually untrue as well as being personally insulting. This review does not reflect the high standards of our facilities, nor does it reflect the high standard of our other reviews.

Fantastic semi wild camping gem with everything!

From the manager: We are so glad you enjoyed your stay, you had perfect sunny Welsh weather :-) and the whole place to yourselves. Re: being child friendly, we are an adults only site, so that's not applicable. Re wifi: we do say there is no wifi, though we have seriously considered getting it for the shepherd's huts. However part of what we try to offer is a detoxing from technology, so we will stick with how things are, though we appreciate it's not ideal for everyone. Thanks again, and maybe see you another time!

Beautiful site, cosy cabin and amazing workshop!

Caban Pren shepherd's hut

Liked: We have loved every minute of our stay! Super cosy shepherds hut, was instantly made to feel very welcome by pets and humans alike. The location is absolutely beautiful with stunning views and really lovely walks, lots of stargazing to be done on a clear night. The kitchen yurt made cooking outdoors so much easier. We made a basket each on a basketry workshop and are so pleased with what we achieved. Cassandra is a very knowledgeable and patient teacher and the workshop had a very relaxed and informal feel to it. We have both come away feeling well rested and so inspired by what we were able to achieve in a day. We really hope to return in the future!

From the manager: It was so lovely to host you and teach you basketry, loving the photos and captions and your baskets are superb! Hoping to see you again :-) xxx

Local attractions

Close to Bryn a Môr, there’s a beach to suit every mood. The busy sands at Pendine (20 minutes’ walk) are a hub for watersports, with a hire shop and instruction available. Near-deserted Morfa Bychan (10 minutes) is backed by dunes, while wild Marros Sands (30 minutes along the coast path) has walks to a petrified forest. You can also head to Saundersfoot (half an hour’s drive) or Amroth (15 minutes). To mash up your outdoor adventures with a spot of culture-vulturing, visit the former waterside home of Welsh poet Dylan Thomas at Laugharne (20 minutes), stopping by at Laugharne Castle to see the Norman towers and tour the knot garden. Medieval Carew Castle (half an hour) should also be on your to-do list for the looped walk around its ruins to the 18th-century mill. For a day testing your nerve, nip off to Oakwood Theme Park (half an hour) for a go on the Megafobia rollercoaster and other adrenaline-thumping rides. Animal antics more your style? Spot tigers and rhinos on a walking safari at Manor Wildlife Park (half an hour), or watch raptor flying displays at the National Botanic Garden of Wales (40 minutes).
