Wildflower bell tent
Liked: If you’re looking for a location which is quiet and back to nature. Then this is the place for you! Within driving distance of Tenby, Barafundle Bay and Castle Carew. Within walking distance of wild Lakes activities and The Snooty Fox. The host was very friendly and even came with feed for my children to give to the sheep. The tent was surprisingly warm and the double bed was comfy. There was enough room for my children to sleep on their camp beds and still have room to walk around and play games. Toilet facilities were clean and well kept. It’s also a dog friendly site so we took our little dog along and he loved it as much as we did. Would definitely recommend and return here ourselves.

Wildflower bell tent
Liked: Location is fantastic for families, close to all main attractions e.g. Oakwood, heatherton, folly farm, wild lakes, bluestone. Truly best of both worlds feeling very rural in the farm surroundings and forests but also a short drive from many fantastic beaches! The field for campers is huge with a fantastic forest at the bottom. The bell tent field is just next to the main camping field. Each bell tent had their own fire pit and wooden hut with basic cooking equipment, plates bowls, cups ECT really no need to bring anything other than food! The cooler box system worked fantastically! We were able to change our ice packs when ever we needed to with the owners which kept out bacon and milk for breakfast cool enough. The tents are all lit up with battery fairy lights inside and out as well as some solar lights in the trees which was just magical for our little girl. We enjoyed visiting the animals on the farm from the cows in the next field to the gorgeous sheep and horses. Our little girl enjoys feeding and seeing all the animals every day she even sat on the horse one morning when the owner bright him into the camping field. This was such as lovely touch! There are three dogs onsite too, the owner checked if we were happy for them to be roaming around the farm, they were obviously very use to visitors and children and were very well behaved. Skye was a particular favourite of my little girl! The owner shared her hopes for developing this side of the business and we are so excited to see what it becomes and cannot wait to book in next year! We just wish we had found this place sooner!
Disliked: Really nothing to dislike about this place!

Wildflower bell tent
Liked: We kind of stumbled upon this new camping by accident but loved every minute we spent there! The bell tents were nicely decorated and each has its own little external kitchen area that is fully equipped; pans, two wine glasses, cutlery, two gas stoves. Just perfect. Also the complementary fire pit was a big plus. The camping itself is the perfect base for trips to towns like Marloes. The owner told us about the natural splendour of that beach town. It blew our minds, especially for us Dutchies. The owner was very kind and helpful and really made us feel at home.
Disliked: The only thing I can think of is an upgraded shower. But since this camping just started not everything can be perfect. The shower and toilets were clean and had nice hot water but could use a touchup. The owner told us that this will be the first thing they will take care of in the new season. So for now see this awesome rural camping as a diamond in the rough. Good enough for most people, perfect for us. Ps. We did not use wifi so I do not know if that was an option.
