Set a few minutes' drive or cycle from Ynyslas beach and dunes, Ty'n Y Gors Glamping is a tiny glamping site on the scenic Mid Wales coast for guests over the age of 14.
Guests here have exclusive use of a peaceful field, where a large south-west facing tent brings plenty of potential for thoroughly relaxed breaks. Inside the canvas unit there's a double bed with a sprung mattress, a comfortable sitting area, books, games and storage space for towels and luggage.
Outdoors, guests at Ty'n Y Gors Glamping have a spacious firepit and exclusive use of a composting toilet and shower. There's also a well-equipped kitchen hut with a sink, gas hob and coolbox. The sunsets here are particularly gorgeous, so try and time your meals to leave plenty of room for kicking back and watching the sky light up…
Ty'n Y Gors Glamping is set on a working smallholding, so you'll see chickens, sheep, ducks and pigs around and about. An honesty shop is available at the front of the property, so bring some cash along if you'd like to buy free-range eggs, seasonal fruit and veg, preserves or homemade cake. You can also pick up free-range pork burgers, sausages and chops straight from the site's pigs. Talk to the owner if you’re interested in hot and cold breakfasts or lunch hampers.
Borth (three miles) has a railway station, cafés and shops. Leaving the car at home? Chat to the owners, as they may be able to pick you up from the station.

Local attractions
This quiet site borders the Cors Fochno Nature Reserve, an area of unique habitats with boardwalks and an incredible range of wildlife. Stoats, otters, barn owls and kestrels are all regular visitors to the surrounding area, with some of them nesting on the property. You're also a five-minute drive from the Dyfi National Nature Reserve, home to sand dunes and spectacular seaside vistas.
The old fishing village of Borth (five minutes' drive) has a cinema, an attractive church and Borth Wild Animal Kingdom, a zoo with species from all over the world. You can also make it your set-off spot for hikes – the village is on a number of footpaths, including the long-distance Wales Coast Path.
Ty'n Y Gors Glamping is 20 minutes from the larger town of Aberystwyth, where you'll come across a funicular, a steam railway and a well-preserved seafront. Machynlleth (20 minutes) may also be of interest if you're into golf or fancy trying out falconry.
