  • Peaceful rural site a 15-minute walk from the village pub
  • Half an hour from the beaches of the south and west coasts
  • Firepit hire available on site, with wood and kindling to buy
Fancy a spot of rural relaxation a short walk from the village pub and with easy access to the famed Welsh castles and coastline? Then take a break at Y Bwthyn, a peaceful place surrounded by farmland and a 15-minute trot from the pub in Llandissilio. Energetic small fry (and accompanying canines) can romp about with impunity at this spacious site, and there’s plenty of stuff nearby to fuel holiday smiles too. Perhaps they’d like to play at being knights at Laugharne Castle, build sandcastles on Saundersfoot beach or have a go on the heart-thumping rides at Oakwood? All are within a half-hour drive. Guests are welcome to set up their own barbecue or campfire for warm alfresco soirées (sensible locations away from the pitches only please, peeps) and individual firepits, wood and kindling are available to request on arrival for an extra charge. All the basics are provided for a comfy stay: the toilet and shower block is sited on the accommodation field, and has separate facilities for ladies and gents.

Preseli camping pod

Liked: We loved this camping site , warm welcome from Owner , lots of space for kids to play ,well looked after site - showers lovely and hot and clean . We stayed in a pod for one night immaculate inside - helpful to have fridge & kettle - we usually camp - it was good to only need to bring towels and a few cups/ plates - we had fish & chips at the beach for dinner - so didn’t need to bring our mini camping cooker - there’s a microwave in the pod , bed comfy in pod & warm Fire pit/ logs you can hire - very good value - generous amount if logs/ kindling & paper . My kids- 10 & 12 were pleased about the usb chargers on the plug and eldest good phone connection - they were out on the field for most of early evening though , kicking a ball and playing with other kids 👍 It’s a good base in a beautiful area & is a safe and friendly site . It’s a good place for looking at the stars Excellent value - I’d highly recommend Thanks , we enjoyed our stay here :)

Local attractions

Half an hour’s drive takes you down to the beaches of the south coast, including the sandy stretches at Saundersfoot and Tenby, from where you can also take a boat trip out of the harbour to try your luck spotting the local seals. Active types can pick up the Pembrokeshire Coast Path from Tenby to take a ramble along part of its 186-mile length in search of cliffs, coves and castles; a popular stretch is the eight-mile section from Tenby to Manorbier Castle. Those who’d rather take to the sea can hire motorboats, kayaks and jetskis in Tenby, or have a go at waterskiing or wakeboarding. Surfing types can head west to Newgale, just over half an hour away and a well known fave for boarders. There’s always a castle nearby in this part of Wales, and at Y Bwthyn your nearest examples are Picton Castle, 20 minutes away, and Laugharne Castle, half an hour’s drive away. Picton looks like a classic castle from the outside, but has been restored inside as a smart stately home – a rather fab mash-up of styles. Leave time to walk through the woods and visit the Secret Owl Garden, too. Laugharne, in contrast, is an atmospheric ruin that overlooks the Taf estuary and provides some imagination-firing glimpses into 12th-century life. Oakwood Theme Park and the Blue Lagoon waterpark are both around a 20-minute drive away.
