About Firecrest Valley Glamping
Take a step away from the bustle of daily life and feel completely at one with nature on this off-grid and eco-friendly site. While the location has a rural feel, the sights of West Wales are within easy reach, just half an hour to the stunning coast or ten minutes to the pretty town of Newcastle Emlyn. Home to six furnished bell tents, offering all you could possibly need with comfortable beds, soft furnishings such as bean bags and rugs, cooking utensils and crockery, a kettle and an outside area with a picnic table and a fire pit. You will just need to bring your own bedding, pillows and towels. There are five 5m bell tents, Jay, Woodpecker, Songthrush, Sparrowhawk and Barn Owl, are perfect for up to four people, with a double bed and two single futons. The Luna tent, Tawny Owl is also a 5 metre tent, sleeping four with a double bed and two single futons. However, the higher sides of this tent's design results in a more spacious feel. All the tents are pitched in three different areas of the site which is ideal for small group bookings as you can make base in what feels like your own private space. If you're looking for somewhere to reconnect with a larger group or perhaps there's a celebration to be had then why not hire out the site exclusively? Perfect for groups of up to 28 people, giving you full access to all the glamping tents and facilities as well as space to pitch up your own tents. Dogs are welcome in all bell tents and there is even an onsite dog walking area. Fires are allowed in the fire pits provided.
Firecrest Valley Glamping is open from 24/04 to 11/07 and 19/07 to 01/09.
Onsite facilities include individual compost toilets and showers for each tent, a communal cooking shelter with two gas hobs and two sinks, a covered seating area and a solar powered charging point. For kids there is both an outdoor play area and a indoor play tent with books, games and toys.
The Lamb of Rhos and Plas Parke are two family friendly pubs within a few minutes drive from the site. Both offer an excellent variety of food and drink. The small village of Drefach Felindre is a just five minute drive (30 minute walk) away with a fish and chip shop and a well stocked Premier store for essentials.

This was our first ever experience with an eco campsite and we loved it!!! My son had gone away to the Isle of Wight for a few days with my mother in law, so we decided to book a short trip away with our daughter, we looked at a couple of different sites that offer the bell tents as accommodation, and this one took to our liking due to location and overall look of the site. Upon arrival we were greeted by Gary, a really friendly guy and he give us a tour of the accommodation and our own toilet and shower area, which are individual to the name of the bell tent you're staying in (only you use those facilities and are not shared with other guests). The toilet/shower area was beautifully clean and tidy and the system itself was genius in the design. *TAKE A TORCH/HEADLAMP WITH YOU IF YOU NEED TO WALK TO THE TOILET WHEN ITS DARK* (good lighting inside the toilet/shower area) The tent was more than adequate in size, clean and more importantly comfortable with the bed and fouton arrangements (own bedding and pillows needed). A cooler box, with ice packs were available, the kettle, cups, cutlery and utensils were really handy for cooking on the fire pit (read instructions on when/how to use the fire pit which are laminated within the tent. There is an area with 2 separate gas cookers with 4 hobs on each to boil the kettle or cook on as cooking on the fire pit can be weather dependent. There are fire pits outside each of the bell tents plus other communal fire pits available around the campsite (bag of wood given free on arrival, and money for additional bags is put in the "HONESTY BOX" please don't give anything less and keep the bags that they come in to be reused). It was spectacular sat there with the fire roaring while looking up at the stars on a clear night, I've never seen so many!! There is a lovely area with a a few swings and plenty of room to kick a ball about around the site too. Newcastle Emlyn town is not too far away, just a short 5/10 minute car journey, a few handy shops in and around the town with plenty of choice of take away options. We popped in to the bunch of grapes a couple of times and the staff were friendly and the food smelt and looked amazing. We did venture down to Poppit beach and Cardigan town centre which offers more of a shopping choice, which took us around 20-30 minutes in the car to get too. All in all a very enjoyable experience and would definitely recommend, nothing was too much trouble and Becca was fantastic with answering questions on the phone number provided and was always answered if we had any questions leading up to the booking and if we needed anything physically when on the site. Thank you both, will definitely book again soon, good luck with the rest of the season.
An enjoyable weekend

We stayed here for 3 nights in a Bell Tent and were the only ones on site all weekend, which was a bonus. We were provided with all the cutlery and pans, a kettle, a cool box with fresh ice blocks each day and a bag of logs for the firepit. Shower was warm and the bed was quite comfy. A decent location, around 20 mins drive to Newquay and Aberporth. Local shop a 5 minute drive.
Very clean and peaceful place!

Things to do on site and in the Llandysul area
Admire the surrounding countryside and watch the kids play in the spacious green fields, the exciting play area or even in the fun filled play tent with plenty of games, books and toys for hours of entertainment.
For nature lovers, not only is there an abundance of wildlife to be seen from the site but nearby there are lovely areas to explore. Brechfa Forest is only 25 minutes away with picturesque walks and bike trails through miles of woodland, or head to New Quay and hop on one of the dolphin spotting boat trips (30 minute drive).
The pretty market town of Newcastle Emlyn, only 10 minutes away, is a great day out, exploring the castle ruins and wandering along the river bank. A bit further down the road, you will find the coastal town of Cardigan, bustling with independent shops and cafes.
If you're looking for a day of relaxing on the beach then pop to one of the stunning sandy beaches, such as Penbryn or Llangrannog. Just a half an hour away, this stretch of coastline is breathtaking. Many of the beaches are dog friendly.
