About Cayo Retreat

Escape the hustle and bustle at this friendly farm in Herefordshire on the border of Wales. With the stunning backdrop of the Black Mountains and easy reach to Abergavenny and Hay-on-Wye. There is a large variety of grass pitches to choose from, none of which have electric. They vary from allowing six to ten people and some are even set alongside the river. They accommodate tents, caravans, campervans and motorhomes. There are three furnished bell tents sleeping up to six with luxury bedding. These are spacious and sleep up to six people on comfy beds with linen provided, as well as lanterns, cosy throws and seating provided. The perfect choice for those wanting to avoid any hassle. An ideal spot for ramblers, you'll have direct access to Offa's Dyke and be a short distance to the stunning Brecon Beacons. Back on-site, you'll also find plenty of woodland walks with a peaceful river running through that are great for those morning strolls. Dogs are welcome.

A note from the site themselves...

Our site is all about harking back to the days gone by of "real" camping, with paired-backed facilities and a fabulous lack of modern intrusions. We welcome guests to come here for a digital detox, to get back to nature and enjoy the gorgeous surroundings. We hope to meet you soon, John
