Hello and welcome to our campervan / motorhome Aire in South Wales! We are Ali and Amy and we hope that you enjoy your stay with us.
We set up this Aire to give people the opportunity for a safe overnight stop over and the chance to explore the local area.
We’ve really enjoyed travelling in our campervan across the UK and Europe and have often used Aires on our travels. Check out our Campervan blog and our YouTube channel where we share details of our trips.
Location and how to find us
We are situated on Croft yr Haidd farm near Pen-y-coedcae which is close to Pontypridd. We are 11 miles north west of the M4 junction 32 and 7 miles north of the M4 junction 34. Unfortunately, our postcode does not get you to where we are, as we are in a rural area. The best way to find us is to use the postcode CF37 1BA for Tonyrefail Road.
Then you can use either either What 3 Words: ///booster.legal.waggled or use this Google Map link
Please don’t come via any other way as the route south of us gets quite narrow and some larger vehicles may struggle.
How long can I stay?
Our Aire licence means that you can stay for a maximum of 2 nights.
How do I book a night at your Aire?

What animals do you have on your farm?
We have a flock of Black Welsh Mountain sheep who normally have lambs around the middle of April (if you’d like to catch cute lambs running around). We also have two donkeys (Rocco and Jack), two Border Collies, two cats and three ducks.
Rubbish & Recycling
There is a big green bin on the main yard for black bag rubbish. Feel free to throw your waste in there. For recycling, we will provide you with our local council recycling bags. You can then pop any recyclable waste in our little ‘recycling centre’ on the main yard.
Grey / Black waste
Unfortunately we are not able to offer grey / toilet water disposal at our aire at the moment.
Fire Pit
You are welcome to use our fire pit and to burn any sticks / wood that you find lying around.
Dogs
Dogs are welcome to stay but must be kept on a lead at all times. We have a ‘wild lane’ off our yard which runs for approximately 1/2 mile traffic free where dogs are able to run off their lead.
What is there to do in your area?
Closest pub / restaurant: The Countryman Inn is a 1 mile walk from us or a 2 mile drive. They do lovely food and also have gorgeous outside space including fishing lakes. For the latest news on their opening times, use their Facebook page (link here) as they are not open every day. Where are they? Look here. Don’t rely on Google for their opening times as they’re out of date.
