Weekend Trip to Cwmffrwd Farm Campsite

We loved staying at Cwmffrwd farm so much in 2024 that we came back in 2025! Such a peaceful site and thanks for being such a lovely host Pridie. Extra bonus is the new Sauna that we didn't realise was on site this year - such a treat!

Weekend Trip to Pwllyn Farm Camping

Lovely camp spot with loads of handy facilities - if only they could control the weather!

3 nights at Gwersyllfa Glyndŵr Campsite

Quiet, remote location (the birdsong at dawn is extraordinary) yet very close to Machynlleth. Warm welcome from Liz and Nick. Great facilities in the converted outbuilding, including a small loft area to sit back and relax. Nice view from the camping field across a valley. In short - a real find.

4 nights at Pwllyn Farm Camping

Lovely friendly site. Plenty of space brilliant hosts. Good shop and fire pits available. Able to do numerous varied walks from the site.

4 nights at Pwllyn Farm Camping

I loved camping here. We camped for 4 days and were lucky enough to have sunny days. We were able to buy logs from the site and was such an easy purchase and hassle free. Loved staying here and would stay again

Weekend Trip to Cwmffrwd Farm Campsite

We had a great time glamping in Pridie's fields. It was very relaxing and lots of fun. The facilities were good.

Weekend Trip to Bechan Retreats

Amazing lodges, our family had Kites Nest and Barn Owl Lodge and they were perfect for our group size, including a toddler and elderly woman! They were comfortable and gorgeous. Interiors and views were stunning, I couldn't believe the sunsets at night, the hot tubs were such a treat and both lodges had fantastic seating areas on the deck, we went on the steam railway and enjoyed a BBQ at the lodge. Would love to come back next year.

Weekend Trip to Cwmffrwd Farm Campsite

Lovely site and very friendly host! Very peaceful and beautiful views of the valley.

Weekend Trip to Cwmffrwd Farm Campsite

Beautiful camping spot in the Black Mountains. Loved the separate pitches in the meadow, with plenty of space for the kids to run around. The swing and the stream were a hit for the kids, and lovely walks from the campsite. The facilities were basic, but fine for our needs and perfectly clean. Thank you for sharing your lovely farm.

Weekend Trip to Gwersyllfa Glyndŵr Campsite

Fantastic facilities, Elizabeth and Nick were very quick and helpful with our queries, and the views are brilliant! Can't recommend more!

Weekend Trip to Cwmffrwd Farm Campsite

Pridie and James Thank you. What a beautiful campsite you have built. So much space, privacy and a wonderful experience from start to finish. So many other campsites would have crammed in extra pitches, but there were a max of 6 pitches in a whole field. We had a fantastic time and will definitely be back. Well done - you are exactly the sort of site that "coolcamping", when it started, was all about - off the beaten track, unspoilt and run by genuine, lovely people. J&S.

The Tram - First Class Carriage

1 unit · Glamping5 acres · Wales

The Historical Tram, First Class Carriage- Tiny Home with spectacular Views. The Tram is a beautifully restored lower deck first class Tram carriage. This Historic Tram was built by the Wallasey Tram Co. in 1902, offers bespoke holiday accommodation. The Tram is unique & quirky & has lots of original features, a few additions including woodburner, 1 double bed, indoor/outdoor cooking & seating, kitchen, fridge, microwave, bbq, everything you need, veranda with spectacular views down the valley to distant mountains & private garden. Bathroom with flushing loo & hot shower. The Tram once had two spiral staircases at either end which provided access to the top deck, (check photos for what it used to look like) unfortunately, we only have the lower deck, however, the lower deck was the much more opulant first class carriage and this shows in the lovely attention to detail that was created when craftsmen built it in 1902c. Made from wood It has beautiful carving, fret and filigre woodwork inside and lovely beveled glass quarter light windows, many of which still open. We have kept the inside simple to not interfere with the authenticity of this beautiful space. Our Tram was number 75 as found on the back of the door during restoration, however, there is a photo & video of number 78 (the last one they made) all fully restored by the Wallasey Tram Museum on their website. Inside is an open plan space with a glass fronted woodburner, 5’ wide comfy double bed (width of tram is 5’’ 10” so this is the length of bed), mains fridge, kettle, toaster, microwave, electric rings for cooking, electric heater, table and chairs, radio, games, OS maps leaflets of things to do in the area, all finished off with silk curtains and LED lighting behind the air vents. 1 original bench seat. Outside under the Veranda is the kitchen with sink, shelving with pots and pans, bins and wooden work surface,. This is all under the verandha that stretches around two sides of the Tram. Led lighting for outside dining with table and chairs, bench & Small patio area with bbq in the front and rear garden where the NEW bespoke flushing loo and hot electric shower is situated in the back garden about 10 feet behind the Tram in its own building. There are spectacular 40 mile views looking East down the Severn valley with mountains on either sides, spectacular sunrises. Ideal for getting away for it all, We are down a long track with no neighbours, only sheep, peace and quiet with spectacular views. Sorry, but we have to have a strictly ‘No Dogs’ policy as we are completely surrounded by sheep! I have two other properties and nearly 500 positive combined reviews for all properties, if you would like to have a browse, The Granary sleeps 6 and Goetre Farmhouse sleeps 13 and I have Superhost status with ABB since 2014.
