Bell Tent - Large Bell TentSep 2024

This is a lovely little campsite. Very quiet and remote with lots of surrounding walks and rivers. The children loved it. Lot of green space for them to play on and my elder son loved being able to cook on an open fire. The kitchen was fully equipped and had a huge cool box to store cold food. I would definitely come back here.

Wow!

Bell Tent - Boutique Bell TentAug 2024

Wow this place is beautiful! From the natural stream that you can go paddling or swimming in, to the spacious bell tent, close location to all the beautiful walking hot spots of the Brecon's and a small town, all with friendly owners. This has to be THE best camping experience I have had (40 years and counting!) There is a shepherd's hut too as part of the bell tent, and it is fully equipped with all your cooking needs as well as a dining table and extra seating/bed. The whole experience at Cynrig was magical and we will definitely be visiting again.

Amazing slice of paradise

Bell Tent - Boutique Bell TentAug 2024

We had the most amazing holiday at this site. It is so peaceful and quiet, with the sound of the river the only constant noise. There are only three pods currently, which means it doesn't feel crowded. The separate shower and toilet for each pod is a lovely bonus, and these were clean and well placed. Our only tiny niggle was the length of time that the lights stayed on at night. They are on sensors, which meant that waving your arms around every couple of minutes was necessary. The kitchens meant that even when it rained, we had somewhere to hang out and enjoy our time together. We loved exploring the river. The water is clear and freezing, but there are spots you can get right in if you wanted, or just paddle around. The owners were lovely and were around when needed. The little decorations and touches like the handwash and washing up liquid and a freezer with blocks in to keep our cooler box cold were welcome. Brecon was lovely and only 10 minutes away by car, but we didn't explore much of the surrounding countryside as we were so reluctant to leave the site! We are already planning our next visit!
