Mavis tipi
Liked: We would highly recommend this site. The hosts were very friendly and the cost of the pitch was extremely affordable. We were welcomed by Jane who gave us some very good recommendations of where to visit. The pitches are very well spaced which is one of the main reasons we chose this site, it created privacy and a lovely atmosphere. We stayed in Mavis, it was in a great location. The facilities were very clean and we enjoyed a lovely walk around the grounds. We enjoyed the fire pit and the general atmosphere of the place and we felt very safe. We would definitely return. I'd recommend this site to everyone

Algie non-electric grass and earth tent pitch
Liked: Excellent stay at Tipis! Lovely owners and brilliant facilities. Can't wait for our next stay
Disliked: Hill down to the pitch with no car access so have to carry things down but wouldn't stop us staying again!
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your feedback!! So glad you enjoyed your stay with us! and we look forward to welcoming you back here again in the future. The nature of our site is to give the most peaceful experience we can, hence no vehicle access to any pitches. Algie is at the bottom of the hill nestling by the river... for those that don't want to navigate a hill we recommend Daffyd, on our main site, or a wild camping pitch on our adjacent field.
Lovely location and setting. Hosts very friendly, greeted us on arrival and…

Algie non-electric grass and earth tent pitch
Liked: Lovely location and setting. Hosts very friendly, greeted us on arrival and gave us a tour. The facilities are clean and well kept, the little kitchenette is very handy. The little extras they sell are a lovely extra touch.
Disliked: Two of the tent pitches are at the bottom of a steep hill. This wasn't a problem, but could be an issue if you struggle with mobility.

From the manager: Thanks for your feedback we are glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to welcome you back here in the future! We do emphasise on all platforms that pitches Don Don and Algie are at the bottom of the hill, but if anyone ever needed help we would of course help! or offer them an alternative pitch. Being such a small site we have to work with the limitations it provides. We feel lucky to be able to offer the beauty of being down by the river as an alternative pitch to stay :)

Non-electric grass tent pitch (wild)
Liked: The pitches were absolutely wild camping, just pop your tent up and enjoy the outdoors! Luckily they let us use the fridge in the main camp with no bother - we weren’t as prepared as we thought! The campsite was lovely and quiet, with the added bonus of a tree being planted for us because of our ‘greener camping’ pass, we will definitely come back!

Rita cabin
Liked: Everything! Beatiful surroundings, peaceful and packed with wild life. Me and my partner stayed here for 2 days to reconnect with the nature and it worked out perfect. The hosts Jane and Ian are very lovely people who accommodated all our needs. They hosted pizza Fridays and they were delicious! Baked in front of us. Rita pod where we stayed was cozy, comfortable and equipped in everything we needed. It had a kitchen, its own toilet and shower too. We literally didn't have to leave for anything. We were allowed to have outside fire and inside burner for chilly nights. The pod is situated by the farm animal field and we were visited by cows and sheep on multiple occasions, which we absolutely adored 😊 there's so much to explore in the area which we will on our next trip. Would recommend this place no doubt!

Dafyyd non-electric grass and earth tent pitch
Liked: We have just got back from our weekend stay at Tipis at Ponty, where we throughly enjoyed our stay, the hosts Ian & Jane are really friendly & welcoming. The site itself is lovely, with each pitch shaped into the hill side giving you great views of the surrounding countryside. 100% would recommend Tipi’s at Ponty to anyone who wants to enjoy a relaxing getaway with great facilities. Plus getting to feed the pigs was a bonus for us as well.

From the manager: thank you for the recommendation, we are thrilled you enjoyed our little piece of tranquillity, we hope to see you again next season!
