Ty Uchaf Farm Glamping

Likte: Good morning

Thanks for the hospitality over the time of our stay, the location was beautiful, peaceful and we could have stayed for even longer.
The pod was fantastic, very comfortable and cosy on a night with the burner on which we managed to light after reading your hints and tips.
The local pub was a great suggestion lovely food and great atmosphere.
Thanks for letting us feed the sheep on a morning it was a very kind gesture and I think we will miss Steve the most who spent last night sitting with us up the pod and then again for breakfast.
Look forward to returning next year and enjoying the peace and quiet
Take care
Mark & Ash

Fra bestyreren: Hi Hayley, thanks for your lovely review. We enjoyed meeting you all and chatting. The eggs and view really are fab aren't they?!

Likte: We have stayed at one of two pods on site, and it was great. The site is rather small, meaning that there are only two camping pods and one bell tent, but owner, Robin, have designed llocations in really secluded manner, so you can still have your privacy. The views surrounding the site are just amazing. Pods are clean, same applies to the communal kitchen. There is a little wood burner inside pod, to stay warm even on the cold nights. Plus there is a place for bbq, fire pit. and an outside shower. Pod it self is spacious, with 2 little tables, and 4 chairs for inside or outside sitting.( please see photos attached). There is little chickens farm on the site where children so fond to play and checking their eggs:)
Robin is a really great host, very welcoming and pleasant to have chat. He helped us a lot during our stay and was very helpfull - gave us tips on where and what to do, price list for local attractions etc. We felt very welcome and I am looking forward to bring my family back here.
Location is great as well, as there are many different attractions surrounding the place, both indoors and outdoors. I would say this is a great holiday destination for both holidaymakers - the ones that want to just stay and chill by the fire, or the explorer type.
Thank you Robin, and me and family look forward to come back again.

Likte ikke: Nothing really, but have to mention road up there is single lane, and some drivers might find it difficult. There are no regular electric plugs, only USB type of chargers inside pod. But I suppose you really want to get rid of your phone in such a secluded and peacefull place.
PS. FYI toilet inside pod is a compost type of, meaning there is no water flush, its just a bag for you to do your 'business'. I didn't find that a problem, but maybe for some people a bit unusual/uncomfortable, so I thought of giving a heads up.

Fra bestyreren: Hi Vitalijs,

Many thanks for your detailed review, I'm sure other guests will find it really helpful.

We really enjoyed meeting the three of you and helping you to have a lovely time here. I enjoyed our chats.

We've worked really hard to make the glamping site blend in with the landscape. And to make it as environmentally sustainable as we can. Part of that committment is our compost toilets...we think they're great! They are easy to use, clean and empty for every guest arrival, and at the end of the stay they are emptied onto our special compost heap and in a couple of years they are feeding the garden with rich compost! Brilliant!

We look forward to welcoming you all again.

Likte: Don't hesitate to book, was amazing!!!! Comfy beds, spotlessly clean, perfect host, location and privacy is excellent!!!!

Fra bestyreren: Thanks for such a great recommendation Jayne - really enjoyed meeting and chatting with you. It's a perfect place for a spot of peace and quiet and we were so glad you could do a bit of a "recharge" here before getting back into the busy stuff of life. Also glad that you enjoyed the steaks from Swans Farm Shop - his meat his excellent (as well as his pies and cakes and sweets/treats!)

Look forward to seeing you again, if you want to make us your regular "retreat"!

We don't do wifi in the pods/tipi - but generally mobile network coverage is good at 4G (EE and Vodafone are the ones we have, not sure about others but no one has mentioned it before). If guests really have trouble with mobile signal and need to send/receive something important, we can always give them access to our own wifi on the farmyard.

Likte: We stayed in Ty Coed & had a really wonderful time! Robin was super helpful with everything we needed and more than happy to help with anything and everything. Was very clean when we arrived, had everything we needed and even had some extra bits on the side! Our son loved being able to feed the chickens and go on the secret path back to the car! We were originally a little skeptical on the composting toilet, however it wasn't actually too bad! Would definitely stay again and would 100% recommend!

Fra bestyreren: Thanks for that lovely review - we enjoyed hosting you all.

Thanks for the 100% recmmendation too - that makes us very happy.

We love the composting loos, but were also sceptical til we built them. They are clean, water-free and sustainable. Our whole ethos is to create a low-impact holiday for our guests and the compost loos and grey-water reed bed are an important part of that, along with all our solar power.

Would love to see you back - the chickens have grown!

Likte: We had a great few days here over Easter staying in one of the pods. We arrived by public transport - the owner, Robin, kindly picked us up from Wrexham station which made it a lot easier, though it is possible to get buses to the nearby village (but a bit of a climb up the hill). We also got a supermarket delivery for our food.

We had two decent walks from the site. We particularly liked the walk to Nant y Ffrith.

The pod was comfortable and cosy. Robin was friendly and very helpful - he kept in touch by WhatsApp to make sure we had everything we needed every day.

We enjoyed cooking meals on the barbecue with the charcoal provided. We made cups of tea in the covered shared kitchen area, and made meals there too when the weather was wet - sometimes the strong winds meant the kettle was slow to boil. The toilet and shower in the pod were fine and the mini-kitchen was well equipped. We used the indoor wood stove to heat the pod in the evenings - all the wood we needed was provided at the start.

Fra bestyreren: Hi Liz,

Thanks so much for you 10/10 review - I am very glad you enjoyed your stay, and we were really grateful that as our first "non-car" guests you could test out things like public transport arrival and supermarket deliveries. It all seemed to work well - and we are keen to reduce the impact of guests' stays as far as possible.
It was a shame that the weather was a bit mixed for some of your stay - but we could tell it didn't dampen your enthusiasm!
I'll have a look at the gas hob in the Field Kitchen and see if I can improve the flame in windy weather - a quick cuppa is essential!
Thanks again - we enjoyed meeting you all and would love to host you again...maybe in the tipi next time!

Robin
