Liked: Fferm gelli is the perfect camping location! My young children absolutely loved seeing and feeding the animals, such a family oriented site! With lots of handy supplies, such as fire burners, wood, ect. They also have a lovely little cafe there with the friendliest employers, lovely and clean toilets and shower room!

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: Arrived and went to the cafe to check in, owner/staff come over and greeted us, he was very friendly and showed us where all the facilities were then showed us to where out pitch was, toilet and shower facilities were clean and tidy and the grass was kept maintained, as it’s located on a farm there was a range of animals from goats to rabbits chickens donkeys and then horses in the neighbouring fields! Had some games for kids to play with and an opportunity to meet the animals at a small cost, they have two friendly farm cats too which loved a fuss. The pitch was level and the site was quiet and peaceful with a lovely view, there’s a cafe on site where we went and had sausage and egg roles which were delicious, would definitely recommend
