We have stayed at Graig Wen twice now, and chose to stay in Jones shepards hut. Myself, husband and two children absolutely love it, even later on in the year. The site is brilliant for children to play, explore and imagine, all whilst under our watchful eye whilst cooking on the outside fire.If you’re looking for a unique and peaceful location and break, I would highly recommend. We will be back again, this time hoping to try one of the beautiful yurts!

Thanks to many of our guests for sharing their pictures of precious holiday memories at Graig Wen.
Such a beautiful location so close to the estuary, in a beautiful part of the world filled with action packed activities for adventurous families. Definitely coming back to drink some more wine around the campfire underneath the sky filled with stars.
We have stayed at Graigwen repeatedly over the years in a variety of their cottages, camped, and stayed at a yurt. We adore Graigwen. The tranquility, the views, the night sky feeling close enough to pluck a star from it, the walks with our three big dogs, the cleanliness and comfort of the cottages. The return to what feels like our home from home. Sarah and John are wonderful owners who always go the extra mile for their customers. It is almost impossible to explain how much this place means to us but we always come home feeling completely relaxed, rejuvenated and inspired. This is an ideal location for exploring lots of lovely places in the beautiful Wales. Thank you for another amazing holiday.
