Why stay here ...
Pencraig is a quiet, south-facing, large, lawned area, adult only site. The CL is part sloping with extensive views and is part of Nicola and John’s 12 acre home. John takes great pride in keeping the field regularly mown and members are requested to use breathable groundsheets only.
The nearest town of Llanfair Caereinion is 2.5 miles away with pubs/Post Office/chip shop/village stores etc. and the town is home to the Welshpool and Llanfair Light Railway. The nearby market town of Welshpool is home to the National Trust's Powis Castle and Gardens, the vast Coed-y-Dinas Country Store and Garden Centre, Welshpool Museum as well as many shops and eating places. We are about 15 minutes car drive from the beautiful Dyfnant Forest with its many miles of colour-coded cycling and walking tracks.
Also within about half an hour driving distance is the RSPB Lake Vyrnwy (featured on 'Springwatch') with its many walking trails and 19km perimeter road, level and quiet for cycling. Walkers will enjoy the Anne Griffiths Walk, Glyndwr's Way and the famous Kerry Ridgeway, amongst many. The world renowned Gregynog Hall past home of the Davies sisters whose collection of artefacts from their many travels abroad are on display - you can literally stand a breath away from one of the great Masters' paintings- with its library and beautiful gardens Gregynog is no more than a 15 minute car drive away.
Or ... you could just stay on site and relax all day, why not. We have a collection of paperbacks and dvds available on a 'swap-system'.
Well behaved dogs on leads are most welcome, there is a designated 'Dog Walk' area for them, do be aware that this is Welsh sheep farming country and we are surrounded by flocks from neighbouring farmers.
Off ground barbeques only.
Early arrivals available.

What a gem of a site
Pencraig
This site is probably the best kept site with the friendliest owners we’ve ever stayed at.
From the moment we arrived, they could not do enough for us.
The toilet was spotless. The shower was lovely and hot and had no buttons to keep pressing to keep it on.
The views are stunning with the site being at the top of a valley. It is such a peaceful and relaxing location.
The directions from Nicola were easy to follow and took us straight there in our twin axle caravan.
In Llanfair there is a fuel station, village shop and a couple of pubs. It is only 20 minutes to Welshpool with a choice of large supermarkets.
On site there’s a fab information hut with walk suggestions and loads of places to visit.
We particularly enjoyed the Dyfnant Forest, Aberdovey beach and Mach Loop.
If you love birds, we saw red kites, blue tits, great tits and heard a tawny owl. There are apparently 100 varieties to spot there.
John and Nicola also have THE most gorgeous, well behaved border collie who adores cuddles and always has a smiley face when he greets you.
If you’re looking for a very peaceful site with a great base to explore this area, I would highly recommend Pencraig.
Lovely site

Such a peaceful and beautifully organised site. Amazing view and very warm welcome. A gem. Definitely one to visit.
What’s Not To Like
Pencraig
This is an absolutely fantastic CL, looked after and cared for by John and Nicola. The access road is single track for around 500 metres but once on site all that is forgotten. Stunning views, peace and tranquility, red kites flying overhead and well laid out and manicured grass pitches. John has ensured that there is the required gap between units and this ensures plenty of space to sit out and relax. There is a separate toilet and shower both of which are kept spotlessly clean. An information room includes guides and suggestions for the surrounding area as well as books and DVDs to borrow. Llanfair Caereinion is just over 2 miles away with its steam railway and model car museum. There are no real walks from the site which is a shame but plenty to go off site and see. Lake Vyrnwy is 1/2 hour away and the Mach Loop and coastal towns of Barmouth and Tywyn take just over an hour in the car. I really can’t rate this CL highly enough.
Absolute stunner
Pencraig
It's all been said in previous reviews, but we had to review this lovely site. Stunning views, lovely hosts and oh so quiet. We will definitely be returning.
