Friendly staff, beautiful setting, relaxing, clean and tidy all round.

Liked Our first visit to this site and gojng to be our new favourite going forward! The hosts "Simon and John" were fantastic, personable, good local knowledge and on hand if you needed them. The Blue Bella pitch was amazing, private, secluded and quiet away from city life it really does bring the Welsh countryside to life. We collected fire wood and has ourselves some classic marshmallows after dinner every evening. Private facilities on the pitch included compost toilet, HOT shower, hot washing up water, gas stove and covered seating/kitchen area which was a godsend with the heavy rain, there was even crockery and kettle if you needed it. Little solar lights around the pitch give a great ambiance whilst stargazing in the night. With the pitch being 7m x 20m we easily fit a 7 person tent and suv all within the space. Cows met us in the morning by the shower and there is plenty to do just a short walk or drive away. The main site just a couple minutes walk away provided a place to charge phones etc if needed and communal freezer units. A hike up to Mynydd Garn-Wen which too us about 30mins gives you some great 360 views all round. We visited the big pit too which was just a 20min drive away. A quick 10min walk takes you into Lasgarn Wood for some great forest walks. My 11 year old boy loved it and we both can't wait to come back again! P.S. No WiFi as far as I'm aware (which in my eyes isn't needed being out in the remote countryside)

Disliked Nothing

From the manager: Thank you so much for staying with us in August and for sharing such an incredible review. We’re over the moon to hear that Blue Bella has become a new favourite for you — that truly means a lot. It was a pleasure meeting you both, and we’re really glad you found us helpful and welcoming. The privacy and seclusion of Blue Bella are something we’re really proud of, so it’s wonderful to hear how much you enjoyed the peace, the wildlife, and the feeling of being tucked away in the Welsh countryside. We’re delighted the pitch worked perfectly for your tent and SUV, and that the private facilities, covered kitchen area, and little touches like the solar lights helped make your stay comfortable even in the rain. It sounds like you made the most of the evenings too — marshmallows by the fire is exactly what Blue Bella is made for. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the walks, the views from Mynydd Garn‑Wen, the Big Pit, and the woodland trails. And we love that your son had such a brilliant time — that’s the best feedback we could hope for. Thank you again for the recommendation and your kind words. Nothing to dislike is the highest compliment. We’d be thrilled to welcome you both back next season for more countryside adventures.

Well kept site, friendly helpful staff, facilities kept clean & tidy

Aug 2021

Liked Very clean, well kept site. First time taking my 7 y/o away. We were greeted by Abi who showed us around and selected our pitch, then generally served by Richard (self proclaimed worlds best milkshake maker ... p.s. we haven't given the secret away). All staff seemed very friendly and helpful. The site does have numerous livestock roaming free (turkeys, chickens, geese, ducks etc) as well as a donkey, goats, alpaca and pigs! There's a small play area for kids and a regularly cleaned toilet/shower block. There's also a small shop/bar on site which came in handy. Open fires are allowed by way of hiring a fire pit to help with the camping experience. Plenty of green scenery all round which was great for our walking adventures. Will definitely be visiting again
