Shepherd's hut
Liked: Everything! The shepherd hut was perfect. Cosy, comfortable with a stunning view. We could have sat all day and stared out of the massive windows watching the lambs and the endless number of red kites that live in the area. Not to mention the sky at night when the stars were out. The owner was so friendly and made us feel very welcome. Pub was only a 10 minute walk away and the area is a haven for wildlife and beautiful walks. We will definitely be booking another visit very soon!

Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch (private bathroom amenities)
Liked: Not your average camping experience..... it's so much better! We had the most relaxing stay at 'Top of the Rock Glamping'. Such a stunning rural location on a working farm, all farm animals you would expect - pigs, sheep, goats, horses, cows and the odd Cockerell. We had a private pitch with our own water tap, compost toilet and lovely warm shower. Really friendly welcome by Guy the host who even offered to help carry some of our things, bag of logs ready for us to light the amazing firepit that is actually old farm equipment, lovely touch. Dark skies at night gave us so much opportunity to star gaze and listen to the owls. We can't wait to come back!
Disliked: Absolutely nothing!

Shepherd's hut
Liked: Lovely rural location with fantastic views from the huge windows of our shepherds hut, no matter what the weather. Own private field, great for dogs. No overlooking, except by sheep!! Welcoming hosts, very clean and cozy hut. Easy walk along the lane to the village & local pub.

Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch (private bathroom amenities)
Liked: Private camping area, own composting loo and excellent hot shower. We were greeted on arrival by the very friendly owner who helped us unload our heavy tent. The camping area is sheltered by an oak tree and a barn. It’s a lovely space and it’s not overlooked. We loved the flexibility of being able to pitch more than one tent. The supply of logs, a really nice touch and great fire pit out of an old tractor wheel. It’s a flattish pitch for being up a steep bank in Wales.
Disliked: This is a working farm, so not a dislike as much, as just be aware, the cockerels start crowing early - about 4:30am. If you’re a light sleeper you may want earplugs.

Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch (private bathroom amenities)
Liked: We had our own private pitch with a compost toilet, warm shower and fire pit. Guy, the owner, gave us a bag of wood and kindling free of charge and was very helpful giving us information about where we go could go to eat out (Llanidloes and a campsite about a mile away). Guy let the kids play rounders and ball games in another field too. We were in a field next to goats and their babies so we had a great time watching them. The pitch had a bit of a slope, but what you can expect from Wales. We went to the local pub which was a 15 minute walk away, they had a pool table and it was a lovely little local pub and we were made to feel welcome (despite our questionable song choices on the jukebox). We had to park a short walk away from our pitch, but Guy carried our heavy tent and gazebo to the pitch for us. Don't forget your torch, on the walk back from the pub it was pitch black and on the first night we had wonderful star gazing as it was so dark and clear. Guy was happy for my son to put his little pop up tent up as well as our beast of a tent.
