What customers say

Campsite beag síochánta le radhairc áille ar an gcnoic sa Bhreatain Bheag. Mhol na cuairteoirí an suíomh, na húinéirí cairdiúla, na háiseanna glana (lena n-áirítear cithfholcadáin te). Bhainfeadh go leor taitneamh as an gcóngaracht do shiúlóidí, tithe tábhairne, agus nithe is díol spéise. Cé gur mheas formhór go raibh na háiseanna bunúsacha sásúil, bhí sé tugtha faoi deara ag roinnt go bhfuil na cithfholcadáin bheaga agus gur féidir idirghníomhú ar an wifi. D’fhéadfadh an páirceáil a bheith teoranta le linn na tréimhse gnóthach.

Sophie Y.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked The location is stunning, with beautiful views of the mountains right from the pitches. The site itself is fairly small, which gives it a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere, and there are several areas to choose from when setting up your tent.
The facilities were spotless and very well maintained.

Disliked Nothing!

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked The campsite was quiet and peaceful. Exactly what we needed after a long hike across the beacons. Clean facilities and happy chickens! It was also easy to find and close to the main road for easy bus access.

Local attractions

Getting out into the national park is a doddle – get your boots on for the hour-long hike to Henrhyd Waterfall, perhaps, or climb the Cribarth hill (Sleeping Giant) which overlooks the site. There are also riding stables a mile away. For something a bit more leisurely, take the 15-minute walk from site to Craig-y-Nos Country Park for a wander around the 40-acre park’s lake and meadows and a visit to Craig-y-Nos Castle and its listed theatre (once owned by famed opera singer Adelina Patti). A five-minute drive from the site takes you to the National Showcaves Centre for Wales, which has in the past been voted one of the UK’s best attractions – after you've delved underground, take the kids to the dino exhibit to see loads of life-sized model-sauruses. If you're yearning for a breath of sea air, it'll take you less than an hour to drive to the Gower Peninsula for some of the UK's best beaches.
