Brynglas Retreat

Likte: Stayed in our campervan with friends making use of the static van. Andy the owner was very friendly and informative about the area. A lovely quiet adult only site with basic but adequate facilities. Would definitely use this site again if in the area.

Likte: We had a lovely night away from home in the cabin on site . This place is beautiful we went purely for some peace and quiet and a cosy accommodation and that’s exactly what we got . Andy is such a lovely host and told us all about the local walks around the area and takeaways that would deliver food up to the gate of the site . We however brought food to cook as we weren’t sure we could do this ! We went for a relaxing night having worked a lot lately so didn’t do much walking but enjoyed the cosy cabin and loved the binoculars to study the mountains with the sheep , horses and wildlife . We will most definitely return to this hidden gem.

Likte ikke: Nothing at all to dislike

Likte: The campsite was in a lovely location, just far enough away from everything but still able to access what we needed with ease. There are walks right opposite the site too.

The little railway carriage was a welcome shelter from the wind and rain to prep and eat our food, with the fire pit too.

The owner was incredibly friendly and nothing was too much trouble, even helping us with refreezing our ice blocks whilst borrowing his and having wood available for a fire.

There is no bin but Andy will dispose of the rubbish afterwards, just need to separate it for recycling

The facilities were always clean, and the shower was free with actual hot water!

Likte ikke: There was a dog that would bark/howl through the night, our dog eventually got used to it but it still woke us up on a number of occasions. If you have a reactive dog or are a light sleeper it might make it difficult

The drinking water has a very odd and off putting smell so we didn't use it, but it might not bother others.

Likte: The site was laid out really nicely with privacy between each pitch. Andy (owner) was friendly and very helpful regarding local walks and freezing ice blocks, genuinely felt like he was happy to do whatever he could to make our stay pleasant.
Fantastic walks from the site gate, with main roads being far enough away that road noise is rarely heard.
Dog friendly and a really safe enclosed site. Facilities were cleaned daily and though basic are more than sufficient if you’re not looking for a 5* hotel, with single toilet, shower and washing up area.

Being ‘over 25’s only’ meant that it’s a quiet site with music etc to be kept at a minimum, absolutely perfect for those wishing to disconnect and get back to nature (the sounds of which are carried all over the site by the stream that runs around/through it).

Likte ikke: When we visited the site was quiet with only one other tent on site, but when busy only having one toilet may be an issue.

Likte: Brand new and very clean shower and toilet block. Quiet camping with plenty of space. Andy is lovely and always available to give you tips about the area and supporting whatever you need.

Likte: We had a fantastic 3 night stay at Brynglas! Andy was very welcoming, chatted to us each day when we saw him, and gave us advice on local walks. Great location and the shower and toilet were spot on. Couldn't ask for a better host and site. Would highly recommend to those who want peace and quiet.

Likte ikke: Nothing!

Likte: Beautiful site with trees and a beautiful stream nearby that you can hear. Clean amenities. Friendly host. Still feels private as it’s a small site. Loved that you could have your own no trace fire pit, no music/loud noise etc.

Likte: Everything. There is nothing negative I could say about this site or hosts.
Andy goes above and beyond for all guests, its clear he truly loves his site, and so do I.

As a solo female traveller in a small tent I felt safe and secure the entire visit, Andy was so helpful charging my phone for me.
The toilet and shower were kept spotless.

Absolutely gorgeous site, I understand the retreat in the name, its a semi wild area, with lots of wildlife, the stream running by and through the site is the perfect lullaby.

The shepherds hut and campfire spot were fab additions, the site was full yet as it’s so small we had the hut and fire spot to ourselves.
I, and my aching body, throughly enjoyed snoozing in the hammock beside the tent, exquisite touch with the sound of the running stream only feet away for total relaxation of mind body and soul.

The views surrounding the site are nothing short of phenomenal.
A very happy camper and I will be returning, and I recommend anyone and everyone to check out Brynglas Retreat.
