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!

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.

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.

Liked: I brought my daughter and her friend here as a surprise for her birthday. We absolutely loved every minute of staying here. It is a beautiful site in a lovely area with very friendly owner. The site has everything you need to have a wonderful stay. There were games, notebooks and pencils, den building kit and binoculars for the kids which were fantastic and on arrival there was fresh bread, eggs, milk, Welsh cakes, hot chocolate and marshmallows which was a lovely touch.
Disliked: Would have been nice to be able to check in earlier on out arrival day.

Barbara 1 bedroom on-site caravan
Liked: Wow!! This place is a little gem. I stayed here for just one night with my two young daughters and we absolutely loved it, we didn't want to leave. The pictures really don't do it justice and it far exceeded my expectations. The hospitality was second to none and the site was super clean. The hosts left us home made bread, provided us with fresh eggs and milk from the farm, welsh scone cakes, hot chocolate, toasting marshmallows and more!! The location is private and you have the use of your own field and woods which made for great ghost stories around the camp fire... The caravan is called Barbara and she's really cosy and warm, with a heated shower and toilet available. She had lots of little games that the girls loved to discover and play with.. they keep asking me when we can go back.. my answer is as soon as possible..
Disliked: I can't fault a thing.. there was nothing to dislike.
