  • Laidback site with 8.5 acres in Bryneglwys village
  • A 25-minute drive from Lake Bala and 40 minutes from Chester
  • Fresh eggs, friendly farm animals and a well-stocked outdoor bar
A chilled site in a quiet corner of Denbighshire, New Inn is a fine place to bag a relaxed rural break. With its splendid views, this popular little spot is within easy reach of attractions in and around Snowdonia, Chester and beyond. Although the former pub is permanently closed, it has a well-stocked outdoor bar called the Wobbly Dog selling draft beer and seasonal local produce. The peaceful park is also a five-minute stroll from Bryneglwys village centre, where the local stores and tea room are on hand to sort out any off-site food needs. Need to organise a bulk shop? Corwen (15 minutes' drive) is home to a bigger range of grocery shops. One of the big draws of New Inn is the number of simple pleasures to be had here, like collecting your own eggs from the site's friendly hens or watching the tame sheep frolicking through the grass. There's also ample room for setting up bonfires or barbecues and for roaming through the wilder parts of the 8.5-acre grounds. The facilities at this back to basics spot are low-key but well-maintained, with a toilet block that's got four toilets, four hot-water sinks, two showers and a washing-up sink. Phone charging is available too, to help you keep power up for your outings.

Marc R.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (large, no pets)

Liked Excellent location with own designated pitching area. Hot showers, well-stocked bar, charging point for phone emergencies. Loved to see the chickens roaming laying eggs. Really friendly owners who lit the fire for the children to enjoy making smores (on the house). Would definitely be looking forward to visiting again.

Disliked Nothing to dislike

Non-electric grass tent pitch (large, no pets)

Liked The campsite is incredibly clean and the owners are exceptional. The site has sheep and pigs and free range chickens much to the delight of our grandchildren. I highly recommend this site to anyone with younger children who wants to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Thanks for making us feel so welcome

Non-electric grass tent pitch (large, no pets)

Liked We had such a lovely night away camping and a first for the Grandkids.
We had a double pitch on the front and was a great space to chill and play.
The Grandkids loved the free roaming chickens.
On the Dat evening was a bonfire and toasting your marshmallows for S’mores. This was free and it was such a great thing to do and get other campers talking.
The bar/shop was a cracking extra also

PHILIP B.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (large, no pets)

Liked Excellent place to stay.
Hosts couldn’t have been more helpful including the loan of a stove as i had forgotten my gas bottle.
Excellent pitches and spacing between pitches. Definitely a carefully and thoughtfully put together site and worth all the high reviews.
Kids enjoyed the chickens, and meeting the pigs.
After unloading the car having to park the short distance outside is a good touch as it is safer and means quieter at night as no car doors opening and closing.
Local shop is handy and easy walk to.
No extras so we could pitch a little tent on the pitch no issues or extra cost.
Toilets in great shape, showers good, a little area to charge up power banks a real plus.
Kids want to come again.
Really handy location to visit Langollen, Chirk castle and horseshoe falls, etc.
Other than a few sheep it was quiet at night and we slept well

Disliked Honestly nothing

Local attractions

Get gallivanting through the green grounds of Erddig Hall (30 minutes' drive), Chirk Castle (30 minutes) or Ness Botanic Gardens (50 minutes) for fab floral displays, impressive buildings and splendid outdoor strolls. They have something else in common too: top-rated cafés where you can take afternoon tea in genteel garden surrounds. Those magnificently manicured spots strike a cracking contrast with wilder haunts like the shores of Lake Bala (25 minutes), Castell Dinas Brân (25 minutes) and Horseshoe Falls (20 minutes). There's also scope for giving your walking boots and mountain bikes a run for their money at Oneplanet Adventure (10 minutes), a forest visitor centre surrounded by a host of waymarked trails. Further full-on action can be found at the National White Water Centre (30 minutes), while those of a less intrepid temperament have Chester Zoo (40 minutes) not much further away. After making friends with sloths, elephants and jaguars, saunter down into the centre for a stroll down by the Dee or a laidback riverboat cruise.
