The glamping accommodation at Pen Cefn Farm Holiday is set on a 25-acre traditional sheep farm near Conwy in North Wales. Peaceful and secluded, it is surprisingly only 10 minutes’ drive from the A55 North Wales Expressway, making it fast and easy to access from western England, and a useful base for exploring Snowdonia National Park.

The almost-wild-camping vibe here means that there is no electricity in site, so pack a torch for night-time forays to the loo – and there is a shower block with wash basin.

Guests are allowed to bring their dogs on holiday too, but please bring bedding and towels. Other things you might like to pack include a disposable barbecue (the site owner can supply wood for a fee) and some extra layers of clothing for any chillier moments.

You can pick up last-minute essentials from the handy store and butchers in Betws-yn-Rhos village (five minutes’ drive) , where there’s also a pub if you feel like a change of scenery.
