  • Private use of a peaceful off-grid caravan and bell tent
  • A 15-minute drive from Mold and 25 minutes from the nearest beach
  • Dog-friendly farmland setting with farm shop nearby
If you’re wanting to burrow down somewhere well away from any neighbours, Herbie’s Hideaway might be just the hidey hole you were foraging for. This private and peaceful off-grid glamping site gives its guests exclusive use of a renovated caravan and bell tent with their own personal field and woodland area. This is a true farmland setting, so you may quickly find yourself itching to sink your teeth into some fresh farm produce. Handily enough, Herbie’s Hideaway is 15 minutes’ walk away from a farm shop and there’s a gas cooker provided for you on site, so it's easy to get chopping and grilling. You won't be entirely without neighbours here – there are goats, chickens and ducks on the site’s smallholding a short walk away through the farmland and it's possible you may spot visiting owls and badgers. Access is down a woodland track, so there’s a short walk to get to the pitch. A trolley is available so you don’t have to carry your belongings on your back. Together, the caravan and bell tent sleep four people. Fresh water is kindly provided, as is basic lighting (and the water pump is powered by solar lighting). The caravan has a shower and composting toilet too. Other big perks here include the fact that the pitch is just a five-minute walk from the local pub, with another second pub option a 35-minute walk away (mini pub crawl anyone?). There’s no shortage of local walks either, and the A55 10 minutes’ drive away leads to plenty of north Wales attractions, plus Chester (35 minutes) and the coast. The closest beach is just 35 minutes’ drive away.

What customers say

This quiet, private site offers a unique getaway with well-equipped caravans and bell tents on lovely grounds, featuring cows and goats. Guests love the privacy, space, and the hosts' warm welcome, with many enjoying the freedom for kids to play. Some note a muddy path to accommodations (wear boots!), and one guest mentioned the fenced perimeter for dogs. A nearby pub is recommended.

Liked Amazing little gem. 'Barbara' the caravan and the bell tent set on an idyllic piece of land with cows and goats for company. The kids loved making dens and playing with the toys/board games. Lovely walk to the playground and pub.

Disliked Having to go home. So peaceful and the children asked to stay another night.

Liked Privacy and location were excellent. More space than we anticipated, which was great. Most of what was required was already there.

Disliked Perimeter was not as secure as I would have liked with a younger dog.

Barbara 1 bedroom on-site trailer

Liked Away from it all. We had a great two nights here. Host Alison was lovely, helping us with our bags and showing us everything around to ensure we had a great stay. Had a problem with the water pump, but Alison ensured we had plenty of water and compensated us. Can't fault her hospitality.
The area is alone and means kids can run round to their hearts content without worry.
Must also recommend the Cherry Pie Inn a few minutes drive away. Cracking pub!

Disliked The walk to the Hideaway was through a very muddy path that the cows were migrated over. Ensure you take your wellies!
I was very fortunate the second morning to get a lift through it on the qaud by the kind farmer who was passing. Can't thank her enough! The others went the other way back to the main road, where I went and picked them up.
Alison mentioned making the bell tent into a seating area, I think this would be a fab idea. We lit the fire in the evening, but alk the seating was wet, as it had been raining. The site can not control the weather though and it certainly didn't dampen our spirits!

Local attractions

Coastal castles, little coves, seaside resorts and all sorts make up the 260-mile North Wales coast. Take off on the scent of scenic stretches along the coastal path or fix your attention upon one spot like Rhyl (35 minutes’ drive), Prestatyn (half an hour) or the dunes of Talacre (25 minutes). If you’re not too preoccupied tracking down all the golden sand, inland is historic Chester (35 minutes). With a complete Roman city wall circuit – the only one in the UK – and Tudor half-timber buildings, a Roman amphitheatre and a cathedral, you should have quite a history-filled day in store. The market town of Mold (15 minutes) must feature on your itinerary, of course, even if only to pick up picnic supplies. The town has two country parks nearby, including Loggerheads Country Park (20 minutes), which has a working corn mill and views of Moel Famau and the Clwydian Range, as well as a trail leading to the Offa’s Dyke Path.
