Below are independent revues of the camp site that have been
submitted to camping related web sites or directly to us. We don’t always agree
with everything they say – even if sounds good! Be aware that some of the
facilities have been improved since the reviews were written. We now have 2
showers and extra flushing toilets etc.

What more can I add to the other reviews
A great site with very friendly owners
We have been here several times once when it was belting down with rain but we
still had a great time.
Great to be able to have a camp fire
We have been to many a campsite and this one deserves all the great reviews it
has had

We spent 3 nights at the Glyn Y Mul Farm and it was brilliant. I am not a
fan of the big commercial campsites and this was just perfect. Away from the
hustle and bustle of normal day to day life no telly no radios just the sounds
of nature. The facilities were always clean and the owners always
friendly and very helpful.
The Farm's campsite is small, very safe and very welcoming. It is
definitely somewhere we would visit again to re-charge our batteries.

What a great find this site was! We had planned to stay all week but we cut short
our stay because our one year old found the nights a bit cold and was not a
happy little camper.
I've really got very little to add to the other reviews. Facilities are basic,
but perfectly clean and functional. Loos are portaloo type (one M, one F), and
there is an electric shower (one) which is free. The site was relatively quiet
when we were there - showers were no problem - the trick was to watch for
someone walking back with a towel or wet hair and you knew the shower was
available.
There is a kitchen for campers, which you don't find on many sites, equipped
with fridge, microwave, kettle and toaster. Recycling facilities.
We really liked that you could have a fire. We used one of the half beer kegs
that were provided and gathered some firewood - great for sitting round in the
evening.

Just arrived home after four wonderful days at Glyn Y Mul Farm.
If you really want to get away from it all and not step foot in the car / real
world for a while this is definitely the place!
We mainly spent our days by the river in the farm's own broadleaf wood, and
didn't feel the need to leave the site at all, (although there is plenty to do
in the area if you want to get out and about!)
The kids (two aged 11 and one of 10) found plenty to do and entertain
themselves, gathering fire wood and splashing in the river and riding their
bikes a break neck speed down the tump!
This is a site for clean, green out-doors folk. This is not a housing estate in
a field the way some sites are. The owners are friendly and you feel privileged
to be sharing some of their land for a while.
Planning to return soon, and set up camp by the river next time, the perfect
antidote to hectic modern life!
Facilities are clean and adequate and the addition of a toaster in the kitchen
area was a great treat on the one morning it was a bit wet and miserable for
the kids.
I don't think it would be a great site if your kids are used to being
entertained with stuff 24/7. This is Enid Blyton land, which for us was
absolutely perfect!
Thanks Ian & Jo.

We went to Glyn Y Mul Farm to test our new tent out.
We arrived and were surprised, the site looked clean and tidy, and there was a
dozen tents and a couple of caravans. Spoke to Ian the site owner and pitched
up.
Beautiful scenery and a relaxed atmosphere. Three of Four ducks visited the
campsite and there where sheep in the next field.
The site was cheap to stay at, it’s a great place for weekends of
camping.
At the bottom of the field there were toilets and even a kitchen has been
installed for the guests. The kitchen had a microwave, kettle, fridge, toaster
and sink with hot and cold water supplied (very handy indeed).
There are recycling bins for cardboard, glass etc.
We enjoyed our stay at the farm and will be going again, just be aware that
there is NO kids park or swimming pool on this site, our kids just got on with
playing football, colouring, reading and collecting wood to make an
outdoor campfire and were very happy indeed.
I would recommend this site to anyone, go and find out for yourselves.

- Owners are very friendly and accommodating
- Facilities are simple yet effective, for example there is a fridge,
microwave, piping hot water, shower, bike washing facilities available.
- Fires are permitted in halved beer barrels, which are provided. Wood is
sourced from the farms 20 acres of woodland or can be bought cheaply.
- The area itself is picturesque with many walks, treks, rides nearby into the
hills or woods. A river also runs through the site. A good base camp. Shops,
bank, petrol are within sort drive.
- It should be remembered that this is a 'working' farm and as such common
sense should prevail around machinery, animals etc.
- There is potential to do more of a 'wild' camp by the river or in the
woodland but I would suggest you speak to Ian, the owner, as he knows the good
and bad pitches at different times of year.
- A superb site with no attitude or worries. We felt relaxed and welcomed
throughout our visit. We will definitely go back when we are in the area again.

Excellent site. Owners could not have been more helpful. Toilets and showers
very clean. We were made very welcome and only the torrential rain and the
proximity of a warm dry house sent us home slightly earlier than planned. Ideal
for those who enjoy the peace and quiet.
We will visit again.

I have been to this site a few times now and adore its quiet relaxed
atmosphere. The owners are very friendly and helpful and listen to any
suggestions you may have about improvements. The site is an excellent place if
you like wildlife as there is plenty around not to mention some fantastic walks
and scenery. It is not a very large site but what it lacks in size it more than
makes up for in character.

A great campsite. We stayed over the bank holiday weekend & every one
seemed to enjoy themselves, ideal site if visiting
I recommend following directions on their website if towing a caravan, with the
addition of phoning before entering the lane to check if a caravan is leaving
as the road is single track..

We stayed for a few days last year, the owners were very friendly and helpful
and the site had all the facilities we needed for our stay, which were all well
maintained and very clean.
We were a little unsure what to expect, having never stayed on a working farm
before, but would definitely recommend it to anyone camping in the
