Cosy camping barn 10 minutes’ drive from Pwllheli in North Wales
Nefyn five minutes’ drive; Welsh National Sailing Academy 10 minutes
Private courtyard with barbecue, covered camp kitchen and shower room

Time for a digital detox in spectacular North Wales countryside? Form an orderly queue and head straight for Nant Bach Retreat, 10 minutes’ drive from the shops and pubs of Pwllheli in Gwynedd. Here you can step off the conveyor belt of modern life and reconnect with nature at a cosy, no-frills camping barn. Designed as a retreat for two, the barn has a king-size bed, a woodfired stove and a window seat in pole position to catch the rural views. Behind the barn is a cobbled private courtyard with comfy banquette seating, a barbecue, no-frills covered camping kitchen and modern shower room with hot running water. There is no wifi here, so all the pressure is off; you can relax in comfort, soak up the stunning sunsets, or settle down with a favourite book in the quiet reading nook. When outside, look out for buzzards and kites soaring in the thermals, or woodpeckers, jays and owls among the trees. Your only neighbours will be a flock of Texel sheep, who – along with their lambs in spring – spend their days manicuring surrounding fields. As part of the family, dogs are welcome at Nant Bach Retreat, but please keep them under control around local livestock.

1 bedroom cottage / chalet / bungalow

Liked: Location, wildlife (newts, frogs, several owls), grounds/woodland, views, sunsets, comfy bed, good layout of rooms, good shower, enclosed yard area with outdoor seating and dining table. Owner welcoming and helpful.

We really enjoyed our stay (bar few things below), as did our rescue dog!

Disliked: Lack of certain common cooking utensils (egg flipper, large stirrer and tin opener). hot/cold taps mislabelled. Had to ask for towels and toaster. Ad needs to be clearer what is and isn't included.

Site was supposed to be quiet after 10pm but one night got woken up about 11pm by gaggle of noisy people using the hot tub, not the owner's fault as such but annoying.

Local attractions

With its dramatic backdrop of peaks in Eryri National Park (formerly Snowdonia) and calm seas, Pwllheli (10 minutes’ drive) is one of the most popular sailing bases in North Wales; if being out on the water is your passion, book lessons at the Welsh National Sailing Academy and check out the sleek yachts in Hafan Pwllheli Marina. Firmly back on terra firma, stretch your legs on beach walks at Nefyn (five minutes), a pretty seaside village of whitewashed cottages that’s home to the Llŷn Maritime Museum, which displays boat-building tools and artefacts saved from shipwrecks. From there, you can hike to Porthdinllaen (55 minutes’ walk), a peaceful fishing village on the shores of the Irish Sea where seals are often spotted basking on rocks. Forays into Eryri (35 minutes’ drive) are on the cards too. Go walking in the Moelwynion Mountains from the biking-and-hiking hub of Blaenau Ffestiniog (45 minutes), while braver souls can try out the zipwire rides through the former slate mine at Zip World Llechwedd (50 minutes).
