A note from the site themselves...

We always had a dream of creating a nature-led campsite in beautiful Pembrokeshire and becoming the best-loved campsite in Wales!

As your hosts, both Jon and I wanted to give our guests the most amazing stay. We also wanted to protect nature, our environment, and the wildlife on our doorstep. We wanted to help it thrive, with new richer habitat.

We never take the beauty of our 27-acre site for granted and see ourselves as guardians for generations to come. One of the things we have done is planted 3,500 native trees and created a new woodland at Top of the Woods, with the help of our amazing guests. We hope to welcome you soon, Soo

Small Tent - Non Electric Meadow Camping Pitches (Dog Friendly)Jul 2024

Very lovely place on a converted farm. Has lots of fun activities to try out onsite and is situated in a very lovely part of the country, with lots of nature and wild space to explore. The owners (Soo and John) were always ready to help out when needed and gave a very warm welcome and goodbye. I would highly recommend and will come back to stay.

Safari Tent - Eco Boutique Safari Lodges (Dog Friendly)Jun 2023

Went for a few days glamping- very welcoming host who greeted us. Tent was gorgeous and well equipped with everything you need including linen and bedding (bring your own towels). Everything absolutely spotless and well-maintained. Lots of games for the kids and space to run around and play. Nearest shop is a short drive away, but need to go a fair distance to get a bigger shop with everything you need. Went horse riding nearby with the team listed on their website, who were wonderful and very reasonably priced. Beautiful Newport nearby and lovely beaches. Altogether a really enjoyable holiday and I would highly recommend the site (but stock up on food on the way!).

Site's response

Thank you for your stay & review, Alex. And yes, we are in a bit of a remote location so the convenience of shops is a little further away :-) It has also taken me a bit to get used to this when I came from the city, with 24-hour shops on my doorstep. The village shop though does cover most of your camping needs & the supermarket is in Cardigan, which is in the closest town (7 country miles away) - we would love to see you all again!
