Naturesbase

Giles and Alison were super hosts, campfire songs, pizza night (cooked in Giles’ wood fire pizza oven) and feeding the farm animals. We explored the campsite and the walls around the village and travelled (30-40 minutes in the car) to some of the most beautiful and child friendly beaches

Lovely campsite, spacious pitches separated by trees so you have your own lovely space. Lovely touches everywhere. Kids got to feed animals, play in the woods and complete a trail around the park. Loved our stay and can’t wait to visit again

We loved being able to feed the animals. My children were very excited with this and it was a fun experience. We loved having a private pitch (all pitches were separated by trees etc, which allowed for privacy).

The cleanliness of the site was fantastic, with hand sanitiser and soap for washing hands readily available.
I loved the use of materials throughout the site, materials were recycled for other purposes and this was a pleasure to see.

The 'honesty box' approach in the shop was great too.

Children loved the tyre swing.

We loved being able to walk the trail in the campsite.

There was a section of VERY muddy pathway of which we needed to cross to get to our tent. We expect mud as we're camping, but as I suffer with back problems, to walk over this mud everyday was an issue. Perhaps more coverage / grip here would be helpful.

The trail needs to be more clearly signposted.

Absolutely amazing site!! Everything is fabulous, the owners were extremely helpful, were always there if we needed them. Our kids loved the trails and fort, the animals they could go see. The adventure trail through the woods and over the stream was awesome.
The big barn breakfast was delicious, definitely recommend.
Facilities were all really good, even though the toilets/showers have been changed to family units instead of female/male = we actually preferred this as it was easier as a family with younger children.
We can not wait to return next year!!!!

What an absolute gem this place is- it is abundantly clear the sheer love and passion that Gyles and Alison have injected into this wonderful campsite, it felt like a home away from home. On arrival we were met by both Alison and Gyles who were extremely welcoming and keen to show us around and help us to familiarise ourselves.
Our children had the absolute times of their lives exploring, and there was something new to be discovered around every corner. They loved exploring the woods, finding the dens and playing in the stream, it was so nice to see them just being kids- caked in mud, soaking wet wellies and socks with rosy cheeks from laughing. We weren't blessed with great summer weather, but donned wellies we did and explored all the same. When the rain was too heavy (we lost a welly and a sock in the mud bog!) we headed for the play barn area which was well equipped with toys, games and puzzles which kept our children occupied for hours, allowing us to sit and read a book in peace :) the cakes available to buy in the barn were delicious.
There is so much space for the children to run around in, the tire swing was also a massive hit as was Gandalf and the hillfort.
The daily ringing of the morning feeding bell was greatly anticipated, and rain or shine our children were out with Gyles (and Hugo!) feeding the animals.
The tent pitches were spacious, and felt private but close enough to not feel excluded from your neighbours. The trees provided great shelter from the rain and the wind, and the area was very well maintained (there were quite a number of tiny thistle plants on the ground though so beware if you're barefoot). Each pitch has a fire pit area and grates are freely available.
The shop was always well stocked (although you need to be early for the milk) and was reasonably priced.
The pizza night was fantastic, one of the best pizzas I have ever tasted- especially with the fresh home grown basil! The campfire songs after were very entertaining (and athletic!). We didn't do the bush craft as our children didn't want to, but it looked and sounded like lots of fun!
One thing we loved was that the tree's have plaques on them telling you what they are and what can be made from them our children loved learning lots of really interesting facts.
Location wise, this campsite is in a perfect area- remote enough to feel like wild camping with lots of space but close enough to local towns and attractions to get out and about. Gyles was kind enough to lend us some crabbing buckets and nets and we spent a day in near by Abaraeron, crabbing, rock pool hunting and climbing the rocks- the parking is free too! Its also close to New Quay. They have a large map at the site with lots of things to do tacked onto it which was really helpful for visualising where things were, Gyles was incredibly helpful with recommending things to see and do in the local area also.
There are so many things to be written about this campsite, but truly they just don't do it justice- it was simply amazing on many levels. Our children cried leaving this campsite because they didn't want to come home, that speaks louder than anything written in a review.

Thank you Alison and Gyles for a wonderful first family camping trip experience, you blew our expectations right out of the water. We will definitely be returning and have already recommended you to many friends.

The toilets were quite far from some of the tent pitches- we are new to camping and on returning will take a portable toilet with us.
The toilets being closed for an hour everyday for cleaning wasn't ideal with young children- again though this was more a circumstance than an issue and taking a portable toilet with us would make this a non issue.
The site could do with being better sign posted in the local area so its a little easier to find.

Feeding the animals each morning Breakfast mornings, pizza nights and campfire sing songs. Kids loved the play barns & hill fort, the dog loved the woods.

Nature walk could do with a slight trim.

A truly wonderful camping experience, we took our 5mtr bell tent, awning and pop up gazebo and had plenty of room to pitch them all with room to spare. The pitch was freshly mowed and also has a ready prepared fire pit, with free to use fire grate. We loved the naturbase feel of the site, if you like back to nature, eco theme then this is the campsite for you. The toilet, showers and wash facilities are excellent and meticulously cleaned daily. I must coment on the owners, Gyles and Alison, they are the most wonderful people you could wish to meet, nothing is to much trouble for them, and we can seriously recommend the wood fired pizza evening and the breakfast morning. You can meet up with other campers in courtyard area sitting at the multicoloured bench sets, always with fresh flowers in pots curtesy of Alison. Take a bottle of wine and just chill out and take in the serenity of the site. Walk around the woodland trails, see the farm animals, you can see by the children's faces how much they enjoy this site, and of course I have to mention the sitting around the campfire with Gyles singing and reciting poems, the children all join in, in fact, so do the adults, we will definitely return to this campsite, we just wish it was open all year, we would winter camp here.

Nothing, other than we had to leave a day early due to a family issue at home.
