Firstly as we travelled down the track from the road as we arrived we were greeted by the lovely warm smile from Sam, who runs the campsite along with Grant. Then after parking we checked out the Pod, it was in a lovely wooded area, with a nice little balcony. The pod is bare, so you need to take airheads, sleeping bags and pillows, there is electricity though. We sorted our equipment and supplies from the car. After setting up camp, we had a nice chat with Tony, Sam's father and a really nice guy, he told us some of the history of this amazing place. We later went for a walk around the site and found a field straight down to the left of the main site, where if you holler or shout out, you will hear an incredible echo around the valleys. The landscape is stunning, and the site has lots of areas where you can get you own little bit of magic. We had a great night with a fire, barbecue and a few beers. Just before retiring, we noticed we had a few neighbours in the form of sheep and Rams... We only stayed 1 night, but wish we had stayed more... We will be back to do just that...
 

Super cool site..

Stayed 2 nights in a wild pod, had a really friendly welcome when we arrived. Pod was really nice, very basic but that's what we expected, located in the middle of nowhere - heaven!!! Also an amazing place to watch the sunset!
Seemed to be quite a few people around but still really quiet.
We were warned before arrival that there was no power (fine as we made sure we were equipped) there was only one shower working in the ladies but we just made sure to time it right to avoid a que.
Only criticism I have is the shower wasn't the cleanest and there wasn't anything to clean it with, still usable but would have preferred to give it a once over before I used it.
We brought our dog with us who seemed to happy the whole weekend.
Would definitely return if we're in the area!

Wild pod stay

This falsely advertised as glamping. Our “cabin”was a dingy shed-no beds, no lock, no curtains. Truth is this is a sh1thole.  Several excuses about lack of power and broken showers (sheep bit through the cable / lightening strike). Avoid this place like the plague and find one of the (many) places which are better

Hole

I booked 3 nights in the wild cabin.Only stayed 2 as the second morning while getting in my car to go for a hike the owner and his two dogs (german shepherds) were outside, his dogs tried to  attack my dog (jack russell) who managed to stay safe hiding under my car while they tried to bite her and barked at her, she was terrified, as was I. I asked for the owner to get his dogs away, as I couldn't for fear for being bitten myself. He told me not to talk to him like that and that I was on his land, he then proceeded to tell me my dog is fine and act like it was no big deal, no apology, was just very standoffish. I said I may as well get my things as I wouldn't come back this evening. He told me I wasn't welcome and I should get my things quickly or else. Quite scary as he basically threatened me and had been quite aggressive verbally up until then. 

Mixed review on here so wasn't expecting glamping or anything like that. It's a shed with two outlets and no way to secure your things or be safe at night as there is no internal or external lock on the door. No curtains so I used my towel to cover the windows, there is no bed, it is just an empty shed in some woods behind a big manor house. 

The toilet block- 2 loos and a shower cubicle,the mens was closed due to a wiring fault. Was not cleaned once during my stay, I know this because the mud all over the floor of the shower was there every day and looked the same. Quite gross. 

Please read if you're thinking of staying here

We needed a break! We are Londoners we are campers and we could do none of this due to Corona virus this year - we needed to get away and what a wonderful place to do so. Polite and friendly staff. Amazing views. Cabin was superb and we even had electric!! Luxury! Loved the campfires for everyone idea. What a location though - so what we needed. Bliss! BUT I read some of the reviwes and the people were morons who had not camped! If you have not camped then get a B & B and dont learn to camp first dont slag off excellent people and an excellent place. Sadly back to the rat race - we will be back Sue! Thanks for the warm welcome

Wonderful location, great accomodation, for campers this is paradise!

Returned to Hafod Hall after three years and was really looking forward to it from previous experience. Found the cabins had been changed to pods and still situated in same place as ‘our’ cabin. Great shelter by the trees and still a beautiful view.

Clearly a lot of work has been done the garden was well maintained and was nice to be remembered after an absence! Loads of space here the pods are not in a uniform line and I didn’t even notice the other ones until I was leaving 

Very quiet site despite it being busy so loads of space to eat lost in and the owners are very friendly and accommodating and will help or advise in any way needed. 

We took the dog this time and had loads of space to secure him to a ground steak with a 20ft lead and he had a whale of a time too walking around the local reservoir and lakes and also the pine forest which was magical 

The new pods are bigger than you imagine and comfortably fit in 3-4 people (depending if you use airbeds and how close you are) we hired two pods and slept like babies very warm and comfy and electric points for a portable heater etc if needed in colder months 

The shower block was clearly new one shower and two cubicles and shower better than most b and bs: some people have commented about no shelf or mirror but I’m sure if they spoke to the owners they would happily address this inexpensive add on: and going camping I always bring my own loo roll! 

We will definitely be back and won’t be leaving it so long again! 

Thanks guys carry on your great site and look forward to watching it grow :-)

New pods new shower block same great place

We booked a couple of pods, which are next to each other and somewhat sheltered from the worst of the elements (it rained for 24 hours, fine rain, soaks you through...).  Plenty of space for the dog to mooch about.  A ring of stones for the fire suited us so once the fire and bbq were going we warmed up!!  Great welcome from Sam, but other than that they leave us to it.  Didn't see Sue or anyone else but who wanted to be out and about in the rain if they didn't have to be!

The pods are fine, with power for our coolbox/chargers/whatever and a heater.  Bring your air bed coz otherwise its a hard floor! Only saw 1 discarded can of beer so pretty tidy.
Shower blocks had hot water and drinking water outside.   Not dirty beyond that caused by people traipsing dirty in on shoes and the odd leaf, so nothing to worry about really.

It ain't the Ritz.  It doesn't try to be.  Its glorified camping so suck it up, light the bbq and have a beer.  Chillax

Will be back again

Excellent location an views, friendly people, good basic camp. However staff told me only 50 acres, and its uneven limited woodland, we got lucky with pitch. Back pack only as you have to walk to pitch

Birt8 camp night

Stayed for 2 nights recently, nice bloke called Sam showed me around the site, I set up my bivvy, then sat around a fire for two days playing my guitar and eating bacon like the King of the cowboys, now thats what its all about isnt it?  Good hammock site too!, unfortunately the rain gods were very angry with me whilst I was there and punished me with persistent rain but it didn't stop me having a really nice couple of days in a really nice place.

Nice site and nice owners.

We’ve glamped and camped the length and breadth of the UK and this is the worse place I’ve ever had the misfortune of staying at. Firstly, completely ignore the photos here as they date back several years to a time when previous owners looked after this place. It used to look very beautiful and in complete contrast to thehouse of horrors that exists today.

It is now “run” by an elderly couple from London who are either completely clueless, disinterested or simply too old to manage this enterprise. The Hall is now filthy and overrun with a variety of domestic animals ranging from lizards to guard dogs. I saw dog poo and overfilled ash trays in the Hall and swarms of flies buzzing about - the smell was horrendous. They must not have any food hygiene licences and it’s hard to believe anyone would want to eat here.

The outside is not much better. I saw evidence of human excrement and used toilet paper on the site grounds - the toilet facilities are so basic and dirty it’s obvious that some people have chosen to do their toileting outside and under trees instead. There is one shower on the whole site which has no hot water - so you will not have a proper wash in the (hopefully short) time you stay here. The wooden glamping pods leak in the rain, have inadequate heating and shake about in the wind due to being built on steep slopes with no adequate footing foundations. There are live extension lead wires strewn about the grounds which connect the pods to the Hall via an open window! There is evidence of open campfires in various places near to wooden pods.The most concerning thing for us is that the owners have a few Alsatian guard dogs (not family pets) guarding the Hall itself - they’re intimidating animals and often bark throughout the day. These dogs escaped and were running loose on the grounds and could’ve easily attacked someone or worse - mauled children! There is next to no maintenance here and everything is falling to bits including the dogs holdings. The health and safety here is nonexistent.

I know this place advertises itself as basic camping but in my opinion that’s just an excuse for not making any effort whatsoever with the facilities (or lack of) on offer. It is also quite expensive to stay here compared to other camp sites in the area - which just adds insult to injury. Avoid at all costs! But if you want to risk it stay no more than one night before committing to more nights - the campsite is nearly always empty (even in peak season which is no surprise considering) so you’ll easily be able to extend your stay if you’re that desperate!
