  • Small glamping site at a smallholding with stunning Snowdonia views
  • A 20-minute drive to Lake Bala and half an hour to Llangollen
  • Fully enclosed open space with kitchen facilities and barbecue
Fancy a rural stay with spectacular views over Snowdonia, but without the need to negotiate lots of little rural roads? Somewhere comfy where you’ll have a whole load of splendid space just for you? Take yourselves off to Ty Bach Holidays, a Denbighshire countryside site that’s only about half a mile from the A5. Although there aren't many accommodation units on this site, you won’t be alone – there’s plenty of company from the likes of donkeys Peggy and Lucy and their other animal pals. This location is a pretty handy one for getting out and about – it’s a 10-minute drive to Corwen (for shops and places to eat), and around 20 minutes to Snowdonia hikes or kayaking on Lake Bala. Llangollen and ZipWorld Fforest are about half an hour away, or you can hit the coast at Llandudno or Portmeirion in about an hour. It’s certainly worth planning some time on site though – the views over to Cadair Idris are quite something, and the dark skies at night are often amazing too. The bell tent has a double bed and two singles, and there’s both a covered kitchen and a barbecue (either one a great place to cook up bits from the farm shop five minutes’ drive away). The whole glamping area is safely fenced so kids can play freely (and you’ll be protected from any goat invasions…) There are toilets and showers here, and you’ll have a sink with running water; most people can get decent mobile phone coverage too if needed.

Bartlomiej B. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

1 bedroom camping pod

Liked: Rural location with private area around hut
Hut is large - bigger than most we visit before with spare bedroom for kids or use ad"waredrobe"
Close enough to most Welsch attractions
Owners are really nice people
In case of any request/questions owners responds quickly
If weather is not great - there is nice mobile network coverage.

Disliked: Not sure - for us was a perfect spot, somebody may not like weather - site is exposed to wind, or narrow steep roads leads to farm. But this is why You should expect in Welsh countryside.

1 bedroom camping pod

Liked: The views are amazing and match the very cosy and inviting interior of the pod. Everything you would need and the toys and games for the little ones is a lovely extra. Great comfort and luxury and the donkeys and goats love a good scratch and cuddle too!! 😊

Disliked: The wind and rain 🤣🤣 but that’s something that can’t be controlled.

1 bedroom camping pod

Liked: From the moment we arrived we loved every second of our stay, pod was bigger than we expected and was so cosy and we had everything we could need and more - small shed with kids toys and added extras was such a nice touch. The views were spectacular and the host was more than helpful. Great all round stay!

Local attractions

North Wales is an excellent place to get active in all sorts of ways. And there’s no better place to start than Snowdonia National Park, the edge of which is about 20 minutes away by car. Hikes of all levels and lengths are all around the park – if you don’t know where to start, Betws-y-Coed (half an hour’s drive) is a good pick, as is Bala (20 minutes), where you can also kayak on the lake. For activity of a different kind, try the ziplines, forest coaster and treetop nets at Zipworld Fforest or head to Llangollen for white-water rafting (both half an hour away). There’s also the option of seeing the area at rather slower pace with a ride on Llangollen Railway’s heritage line or a stroll around Chirk Castle (40 minutes). Swap mountain scenery for coastal views by heading up to the north coast for a seaside day in Llandudno (an hour) or aim west to explore the pretty Italianate buildings, gardens and beaches of Portmeirion (55 minutes).
