This tranquil spot offers top-notch caravans & bell tents, loved for its attention to detail, private space & wildlife. Hosts are super welcoming.

Peaceful First Experience in a Caravan

Liked Our first experience living in a caravan, it was one of my dreams. We booked to celebrate my son's 3 years birthday and we loved it
Very well equipted caravans, big private space, good facilities and very welcoming hosts

Great for a short get away
Barbara 1 bedroom on-site touring caravan
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!

Cute, cosy peaceful accommodation in the beautiful Welsh countryside!
Barbara 1 bedroom on-site touring caravan
Liked Wow! What a beautiful hidden gem! So lucky to have found this, just booked a last minute one-night getaway for a little pick-me-up and it was so peaceful, relaxing, cute and cosy! Wish we’d been able to stay longer, will definitely be coming back! Inside the caravans and tent (you get all 3 to yourself 😍) they’re decorated with so much love and detail, including things like books, games, binoculars, Bluetooth speaker which we used whilst sat in front of the fire pit. The outside has had a lot of thought put into as well such as cute little tea cup bird feeders and solar lights and a converted horse box as a shower /loo. You could see and hear horses from the other field which was lovely, you have a stunning view of the sunset going down the mountains and you can hear owls at night and other wildlife. Perfect for nature lovers or if you want a peaceful break from everything. The hosts were so welcoming and friendly too and thank you for helping us with our bags and for the marshmallows, Welsh cakes, etc they were lovely little touch. Can’t wait to visit again!
Disliked When we had to leave 😄

Liked Everything! So peaceful and quiet, such a beautiful place to re-charge and just be! Loved the little finishing touches like the books, binoculars, den kit and the cute style of the caravans/ tent. Cannot tell you just how delightful it was spotting goats, ducks, hens, cows, horses and knowing there was owls nesting right near us and a badger set too! The hosts went out of their way to welcome us and help us get settled with our luggage! Super comfy beds and snuggly warm - Cannot wait to revisit soon!

WONDERFUL
Barbara 1 bedroom on-site touring caravan
Liked Everything!
Selfishly, I almost didn’t want to leave a review for fear that it would contribute to this place being constantly booked up, making it harder for us to go back … it truly is a hidden gem!
Alison was a gorgeous host. She was fantastic with our two children who each have quite specific needs, kindly taking time to explain where things were and how things worked before leaving us to it.
The setting was idyllic and we particularly loved the fact that we had exclusive use of a secure, private field and woodland as we have an energetic Collie puppy.
Everything - inside and out, was clean, tidy and beautifully thought through with exceptional attention to detail - from a den building kit, nature and bird watching books, to gorgeous tree bark pencils. Our children loved the bell tent, and the caravan was surprisingly comfortable.
Tip - Other than maybe a few board games incase of wet weather (although there are still some provided), there really isn’t need to bring lots of stuff with you. We brought too much when actually our kids were perfectly happy frolicking in the woods for hours. It really is a wonderful opportunity to leave the ‘Switch’ at home and just feel enveloped by nature.
Thank you again. Couldn’t recommend more. ❤️
Disliked Just the fact that we couldn’t have stayed longer.

Wonderful experience
Barbara 1 bedroom on-site touring caravan
Liked Absolutely everything about it..Alison was so helpful and accommodating such an amazing lady..we loved the touring caravan the tent and the new arrival😊…having the whole field and woodland set away from everyone and everything is the best thing ever.seeing the wildlife all through the day with the peaceful surrounding is just heaven butterflies galore and seeing the owl at night.on arrival we had water,bread,scones hot chocolate and marshamallows as a little welcome pack which was absolutely so lovely.
Also there is numerous books,games and a den building kit which is all included,the thought that Alison has put into creating a whole experience without needing to go anywhere is so thoughtful and helpful.we definitely will be back as soon as we can just a wonderful time with my wife and children,even our nervous little dog loved roaming in the woods and jumping into between the grass trying to find us.Hide and seek with all that space we all thoroughly enjoyed as a family aswell.
Disliked The fact we couldn’t stay longer
