Eco-luxury nature glamping retreat in Pembrokeshire, surrounded by ancient woodlands and wild meadows, close to stunning beaches, and with awe-inspiring dark skies

At Top of the Woods, it’s wonderfully easy to lose yourself, not in the traditional sense, but in the quiet pleasure of slowing down and slipping into nature. Set across 27 acres of wild meadows and woodland on the edge of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, this eco-luxury campsite and glamping retreat feels both deeply peaceful and quietly adventurous. From the moment you arrive, hosts Soo and Jon welcome you with a hand-drawn ‘secret waterfall map’, inviting you to explore one of the many hidden corners of this special place.

Accommodation here is thoughtfully designed to combine comfort with a true sense of outdoor living. Choose from spacious Safari Lodges (sleep up to six), adventurous Pioneer Camps (sleep up to four), or striking geodesic Nature Domes (sleep up to four), each positioned to give plenty of privacy, space and views across meadow and woodland. All are beautifully furnished with proper beds, quality linen, wood-burning stoves and cosy details that make evenings by the fire especially inviting. For the more traditional campers, there's a five-acre car-free meadow with large grass pitches.

Beyond your accommodation, the landscape becomes part of your stay. Ancient woodland stretches directly from the meadows, crossed by gentle streams and paths leading to a hidden waterfall, a favourite spot for a wild swim or quiet moment of reflection. Wildlife is everywhere, from barn owls and swallows to badgers and otters, and the farm’s friendly Kunekune pigs have become much-loved residents.

Social spaces are at the heart of life here. The Dutch Barn offers a covered place to relax, picnic and gather for pop-up food nights, farmhouse breakfasts and Jonny’s much-loved wood-fired pizzas. Soo’s Shed provides another welcoming retreat, with games, sofas and free WiFi, while hammocks are scattered through the gardens for slow afternoons with a book.

A standout addition is the Wild Spa, a beautifully simple outdoor space designed for quiet relaxation, with a wood-fired sauna, rainforest showers and a peaceful deck for resting between hot and cold. It’s a place created for deep rest and renewal, especially after a day in the sea or walking the coast.

For those keen to explore further, Top of the Woods sits perfectly placed between coast and countryside. Wild beaches, the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, the PreseliHills and the Teifi Gorge are all within easy reach, offering swimming, walking, paddleboarding and dolphin watching. Yet many guests find themselves happily spending most of their time on site, wandering woodland trails, sharing fires at dusk or simply enjoying the space and stillness.

Sustainability runs quietly through everything here. The site is car-free in much of the meadow, music-free by design, and rooted in long-term stewardship of the land, with thousands of native trees planted and wildlife carefully protected. It’s no surprise Top of the Woods has won sustainable tourism awards year after year.

Whether you arrive as a couple seeking calm, a family looking for space to roam, or friends wanting to gather around a fire, this is a place that invites you to reconnect – with nature, others, and yourself.

Suitable For

Top of the Woods is ideal for couples, families and small groups looking for a relaxed, nature-based escape. It particularly suits guests who enjoy the outdoors, value space and calm, and are happy with a low-impact, eco-friendly approach to camping and glamping. The site works well for group getaways, multi-generational stays and sociable holidays, while still offering plenty of quiet corners for rest and relaxation.

Nearby

One of our favourite things to do is simply step straight from the site into the surrounding woodland, following hand-drawn trails to secret waterfalls and quiet picnic spots. It’s a gentle, immersive way to explore nature without needing to get in the car.

A short drive away, the beaches of Poppit Sands and Mwnt are firm favourites, both perfect for long walks, swimming and dolphin spotting in Cardigan Bay. The Pembrokeshire Coast Path offers spectacular walking in every direction, from dramatic clifftop sections to peaceful estuary routes.

For more adventurous days, guests love coasteering, kayaking and paddleboarding along the coast or river adventures in the Teifi Gorge. Cycling and e-bike routes through the countryside and Preseli Hills are also popular, as is wildlife watching, with seals, seabirds and dolphins regularly spotted nearby.

Top of the Woods sits in a quiet rural corner of North Pembrokeshire, surrounded by meadows, woodland and views towards the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. Despite the sense of seclusion, a good range of attractions are within easy reach.

Nearby highlights include dolphin-watching boat trips in Cardigan Bay, the Iron Age village at Castell Henllys, horse riding at local riding centres, and Cardigan a thriving market town with independent shops, cafés and galleries. The area is ideal for guests who want a peaceful base with easy access to wild beaches, coastal paths and outdoor adventures.

Food & Drink

The Ffynnone Arms and The Nags Head, are just 5-10 minute drive from the site, both long-standing local favourites, known for their warm welcome, good beer and hearty food. For essentials and picnic supplies, Siop Y Pentre is around ten minutes away.

A little further afield, the nearby towns of Cardigan and Newport offer a good choice of independent cafés, pubs and restaurants, with a strong focus on locally sourced, seasonal produce. Fresh seafood, artisan bakeries and relaxed coastal dining are all easy to find in the area.

Back on site, food often becomes part of the experience. Throughout the season, Top of the Woods hosts sociable pizza nights, farmhouse breakfasts and pop-up food evenings in the Dutch barn, bringing guests together over simple, delicious food in a relaxed, communal setting.

The Owner Says

Top of the Woods was created as a place to slow down and reconnect with nature and the people you love. Set across meadows and woodland in a peaceful corner of North Pembrokeshire, the site is designed to feel spacious and calm.

We’ve carefully shaped the site to balance comfort with a low-impact approach, from eco-friendly glamping and wildflower meadows to shared spaces that bring people together. Evenings might be spent around the campfire, watching a film in the barn, sharing food at a pop-up supper, or unwinding in the Wild Spa as the light fades.

What makes Top of the Woods special is its sense of freedom, car-free meadows, woodland trails from the doorstep, secret waterfalls to discover, and the feeling of being properly immersed in nature, while still enjoying thoughtful facilities and a warm welcome. We love sharing this place with guests and helping them discover the quieter, wilder side of Pembrokeshire.
