  • Spacious and peaceful site with lovely Brecon Beacons views
  • Within half an hour's drive of hill walks, canoeing and horse riding
  • A 10-minute drive from Hay-on-Wye and the Hay Festival site
Question: what do bookworms, mountain bikers, hikers and heritage railway buffs have in common? Answer: they’ll all be beaming from ear to ear at Borders Hideaway Holiday Home Park in Herefordshire: this small but spacious site is on the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park, under five minutes’ drive from the village of Clyro and 10 minutes from the antiquarian book browsers’ haven of Hay-on-Wye. If you want to load up with paperbacks and hide away in the hills perusing them, this site’s a supremely suitable venue, with space and solitude, country views and a sensory garden to soothe your other senses. It’s also a comfy base to come back to after days filled with active stuff in the area: thanks to a winning combo of hot showers and hairdryers in the bathrooms, and a laundry with washing machines, dryers and irons, you can emerge from the hills looking pressed and clean enough for a literary luncheon, or a dapper dinner in town. (If you prefer your dining alfresco, barbecues are allowed on site.) With an eye for the small but significant details, the kids’ playground is centrally placed so grownups can keep an eye on younger party members while they continue sizzling sausages… or savouring their stacks of paperbacks.

What customers say

This site gets props for spotless facilities, especially the modern washrooms. It's a gorgeous, quiet spot with amazing views. Staff are always friendly and helpful. Sites are spacious and well-set-out, with thoughtful extras like levelling blocks. Being near Hay-on-Wye is a big plus. A few found pitches sloped a bit, and there's no shop on-site.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Spotless facilities, very welcoming friendly staff and you could hear a pin drop at 10pm. Great spacing for pitches, we would stay again! Also the team were kind enough to help us jump start our car when the battery died - extremely quickly I must add! We loved it!

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Friendly staff, set in gorgeous views and only a stone throw away from Hay on Wye. Nice clean showers (piping hot water) coupled with a spacious washing up area, make this a place we will visit again. Like the lightweight breeze blocks for your BBQ/firepits

Disliked Nothing

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked This is such a well planned site, with lots of open spaces and even a dog walking circuit. The facilities were spotless and so well cared for. The showers in particular were spacious. I would highly recommend this site especially for tents.

Disliked I wish I’d had a tent instead of my campervan because the touring tent spots had a fantastic view, whereas campervan were accommodated with hard standing and grass with water and electricity that I didn’t need.

Local attractions

Once you’ve filled your boots in Hay-on-Wye’s numerous bookshops, there’s more to do in town, including exploring the castle, strolls and picnics by the river, and fortifying stops in the many hostelries and eateries. If you fancy further river ventures, make for Glasbury (10 minutes' drive away) to hire canoes and kayaks for trips down the Wye. Should you prefer the ease of an engine-driven craft, the base at Llangattock (40 minutes) has cruisers for daily hire. If it’s walks at height you’re after, Talgarth (15 minutes) is a starting point for paths up the Black Mountains’ highest peak, Waun Fach; for gentle wooded wanders with a waterfall at the end, plus wildlife spotting on the way, head over to the Pwll y Wrach nature reserve (20 minutes). To see the Beacons on horseback, there are treks of various lengths from Llangorse Multi Activity Centre (25 minutes), as well as indoor climbing and high up zipwires and rope walks both inside and out. If that’s not energetic enough, Oakerwood Leisure (40 minutes) has pastimes like paintballing, quad biking and clay pigeon shooting to get the adrenaline pumping. Historical type? Clamber round ancient sites like Crickhowell Castle and Llanthony Priory (35 and 45 minutes), puff through the hills on the Brecon Mountain Railway from Pant (50 minutes), or descend deep into mining heritage at the Big Pit National Coal Museum, an hour away.
