  • Views of the Clwydian Range; 10 minutes' walk to eateries in Rhuddlan
Birds singing, lambs baaing, cows mooing
 it’s all about the wake-up calls at Abbey Farm Caravan and Camping, and it’s likely that even reluctant early risers will be keen to get up and about once those rural sounds start up. At this peaceful farm in the Denbighshire countryside, you’ll get a warm welcome from Rob and Celia, their children Lewis and Owen and friendly sheepdogs Buster and Jess. Take a stroll around and you’ll often spot free-range chickens wandering about the place too – they’re the ones that provide freshly laid eggs for sale each day. Surrounded by cows and sheep grazing, plus lovely views of the Clwydian Range, the site has a bit of history behind it, too: the farm’s location was once a Dominican friary, and you can still see remnants of that past in the abbey buildings. (Not often you get to stay at a field that’s part of a Scheduled Ancient Monument, right?) It’s the kind of place where families and couples can kick back and relax with simple facilities on hand, including three bathroom blocks (for toilets and showers), plus a utility area for washing-up, complete with a communal fridge and freezer. Getting out to handy amenities is straightforward: it’s about a 10-minute walk to the lovely village of Rhuddlan for cafĂ©s, pubs and shops – plus a castle (this is Wales, after all). Days out should also be easy enough, as there are main roads nearby, but you’ll face a choice: up to the coast for a beach day (10 minutes’ drive), or over to Snowdonia for hikes and other outdoor activities (40 minutes)?

Liked: Friendly welcome/interaction was great after a long journey and continued throughout visit. As site was quiet (Oct visit) was able to choose pitch near v clean toilet/shower block. Good accessibility to Rhuddlan and local buses made this v useful location. Lovely to wake up and see a couple of alpacas wandering across the site. Definitely hope to return.

Camping pod

Liked: Was absolutely fantastic, the pod was lovely, very clean and modern with a lovely soft bed. Great scenery and seeing as though it was a working farm there was hardly any noise. Celia was an absolute pleasure! My partner really wanted to see the alpacas so she invited us to the house to feed them and the Shetland ponies, extra bonus was their 3 dogs We will be returning in the future

Disliked: Absolutely nothing!

Local attractions

A stately home built in the 17th century, Bodrhyddan Hall (five minutes’ drive) is known for its gardens, which include manicured lawns and paths snaking through dense woodland. After a guided tour of the interior (which takes you past artworks, period furniture and an Egyptian mummy), you can stop for refreshments in the tea room. With its wide sandy beach and miniature railway, Rhyl (10 minutes) is a top destination for families. If the weather takes a turn for the worst, you can head to SC2 Rhyl, with an indoor waterpark, a ninja assault course and a soft-play area for younger kids, or to the SeaQuarium. Snow leopards, lemurs and brown bears are just some of the animals at Welsh Mountain Zoo (15 minutes), which spreads over 37 acres near Colwyn Bay. Other residents include exotic birds, reptiles and the furry and feathered guests at the Children’s Farm (rabbits, guinea pigs and ducks, among others). The park also has colourful gardens and woodland walks.
