  • Woodland park site in Mid Wales, five mins' drive from Builth Wells
  • Half an hour's drive from Elan Valley; 40 minutes from Brecon Beacons
  • Communal kitchen, pizza oven and firepit; games room and playground
Well-earned rest or Royal Welsh Show, hiking the Beacons or bookshop mooching... it’s all here. Here’s a spot fit for royalty, a five-minute drive from Builth Wells, home of the Royal Welsh Show. Celtic Woodland Holiday Park is close to town, but surrounded by 10 acres of wooded parkland; you’ll feel both away from it all and at the centre of everything. There’s a lot on site to ensure your stay’s a comfortable one, much of it handily packed into a single hub. There are bathrooms with a walk-in shower, and everyone has access to the fridge and microwave oven in the communal kitchen and the firepit and pizza oven outside. The hub is also home to a games room, with pool, table tennis and air hockey, as well as a stock of books, magazines and DVDs. For those with an urge to hurtle about, the kids’ playground has swings and slides for the smallest guests and a wooden fort for the larger ones. Those itching to get out and explore Mid Wales can hit trails through the surrounding woodland; head into Builth Wells, meanwhile, and you can walk paths along the River Wye as far as the mouth of the river in Chepstow, 136 miles away (although perhaps best not to attempt that in one day).

Cabin (woodland, family)

Liked: The lodge was absolutely stunning. We stayed in Bedw. Felt like no one else was around while sat on terrace. Beautiful scenery. The communal games room, kitchen and bathrooms were extremely clean. We really enjoyed using the sauna. You pre book it so just for the people you are staying with. We woodland walks were picturesque. It was so quiet and peaceful. The staff we spoke to were really polite and had helpful info for using the site and going into town if you wish. They had wifi in the main building which was open 24/7 which worked well but not much 4/5g around the site. This didnt bother us. The town wasnt too far away and although there are hills it was a nice walk even for me who is disabled. A few cute little shops in the small town and good pubs. The closest in the greyhound hotel but we preferred the ones in the town a couple more minutes away. Just personal choice. This is not far from some amazing waterfalls too. Cant wait to go back again

Disliked: Couldnt get a taxi or Uber getting to or from town but the walk although hills was actually ok. We were told by a local you have to book way in advance

Cabin (woodland, family)

Liked: Site was beautiful, really peaceful, lovely views from the patio at the pod.The lady we met me on arrival very kindly swapped me to a pod with a ramp rather than stairs as my dogs are old and a bit wobbly Communal facilities were clean and well equipped. The dogs loved strolling and sniffing around the paths that criss cross the site. Good location feels remote but very close to town and lots of places to visit. Honesty shop very handy for any bits you may have forgotten. There is no electric in the pods so be aware of that though it just adds to the peace and atmosphere.

Liked: A lovely set up everyone was very friendly.
The view from our pod was amazing and would have been lovely sitting out on the dec with a bbq in the summer.
Quite hilly and paths were quite slippery when raining heavy we all had walking boots so wasn’t too bad. Facilities was very clean and my son enjoyed the games room.
We enjoyed the games they supplied in the room for something to do in the evenings.
Good location.

Disliked: We had quite a steep ramp up to our pod when it rained the decking on the ramp got very slippery.

Local attractions

The annual Royal Welsh Show draws crowds to Builth Wells every July, but there are events at the showground throughout the year. Whether the circus is in town or not, it’s a place worth wandering, as well as being stocked with pubs, eateries and supermarkets: pick up a picnic and make for The Groe, a fab riverside park to scoff your sandwiches among views of the 18th-century Wye Bridge. For bigger walks, along with mountain biking, angling and nature spotting, head half an hour to the Elan valley, an area of lakes, hills and rivers dubbed the Welsh Lake District. To see nature close up, visit the Red Kite Feeding Station in Rhyader (25 minutes from site) to see an array of hungry raptors swooping by for their rations. The peaks and moors, waterfalls and castles of the Brecon Beacons are similarly handy for day trips. To see the heights without the huffing and puffing, head an hour’s drive to Pant for a seat on the Brecon Mountain Railway. Equally doable in a day are the beaches, watersports and coastal walks around Aberystwyth, an hour and 20 minutes away. If you're more into surfing the bookshelves, it’s half an hour to Hay-on-Wye, home of the famed literary festival and some two dozen booksellers.
