Upper House Farm Certificated Site

Exactly as advertised. Facilities were basic but clean. Site was exceptionally quiet, despite being quite busy. No waiting for toilets or showers (Saturday morning in May). Beautiful views too! We found a space to park up, and the owner came around, took payment and explained about the car parking. He said he’s happy for campers who’ve stayed the night before to leave the van in the car parking while walking which is helpful. Also allows fire pit as long as fire isn’t on the ground, which was so lovely as most sites don’t allow fires at all. Local pub was around a 10/15 minute walk along a quiet country road and was lovely and welcoming. We will definitely use this site again when walking around/near Keswick.

Separate pitches with plenty of room, other fields available for tents. Choice of toilets from conventional to sawdust. Location fantastic for hiking Hay Bluff and surroundings. Local pub only a 5 minute walk away (not cheap, but definitely worth the price). Very inexpensive site, with loads to offer, as well as a small shop. Will definitely be returning. It would have been even better to have electric hook up available but for what the site offers I'd give it a 11 out of 10!

We stayed at Chapel House Farm Campsite for four nights over the half term holiday. It really is in the most stunning location. The views of the Black Mountains are wonderful. You get a real sense of remoteness, but you're not too far from Hay-on-Wye (20 minutes drive) and other places of interest (we visited the National Trust at Croft Castle on one of the days). The field we pitched in was covered in a wildflower meadow with large pitches mown into them. Plenty of room between each pitch. Showers, flushing toilets (and a compost loo to boot) and washing up place (with freezer, fridge and plug sockets) down by the farm building. The hosts couldn't be more friendly and accommodating. We ordered burgers on one of the nights which were fantastic. Milk, eggs, firewood, meats, beers and ciders on sale in the shop as well as cakes made on the farm. The farm also produces lots of different grains and, as a baking enthusiast, there is the farm's own flour to buy. There's so much passion for sustainable, environmentally friendly, organic farming & food here. It's wonderful. I did come away with three different flours when I left - so be prepared!! All-in-all, a fabulous campsite and a wonderful holiday.

What a wonderful campsite! The scenery was stunning, the remoteness of the pitches made for a very relaxing and calming stay, and the owners could not do enough for us. We arrived on a Saturday, meaning we were just in time for a delicious fire-cooked dinner using fresh food straight from the farm, and when we mentioned we hadn't any food for breakfast, they kindly cooked us some warming baps in the morning with some coffee. The small farm shop sells only local ingredients and had all the essentials for a bonfire by the tent and a nice meal. Griffin the Collie was particularly friendly, as was the three-week-old calf who enjoyed chin scratches. The facilities were all well kept, and it was lovely to watch the swallows diving in and out from the barns, waking up in a field of meadow, and listening to the astonishing volume of the morning chorus. We will definitely be back!
