Why travel anywhere else when you can enjoy a staycation within Powys in a place labelled one of the coolest camping options in the UK?

Van Goff is a 1970s static caravan and has been named among the top 10 best vintage caravan stays in the UK by The Guardian. 

A retro-style caravan with some modern additions, Van Goff is located on the grounds of Bodynfoel Hall - a 242-hectare estate with a river for swimming and a lake for boating, among other things.

Van Goff made The Guardian's top 10 list along with Cerys the Caravan, located on the unique glamping site of Nyth Robin, on the outskirts of Powys in Aberdyfi. 

The pair were the only two locations in Wales to be named among the best vintage caravan stays in the UK.

"There is a wood burner inside and a raised deck with a chiminea outside.

"The van is in woodland in the grounds of Bodynfoel Hall, a 242-hectare (600 acre) estate with a river for swimming and a lake for boating (the rowing boat is shared with two yurts).

"It is an easy riverside walk to the village of Llanfechain, about a mile away, which has a pub and shop."

The Guardian, describing Cerys the caravan, said: "Nyth Robin is a small site in the Snowdonia National Park with nine pitches for tourers, plus a handful of glamping options, including Cerys the caravan.

"Cerys, a refurbished 1960s van, has a hand-painted exterior featuring a woodland scene, and a swinging 60s interior: baby-blue kitchen, warm yellow walls and period fixtures.

"There is a double bed and a pull-out small single.

"The van is in the corner of the campsite with private outdoor space and a fire pit, a short walk from the toilets and showers.

"The site comprises a large area of woodland alongside the Dyfi estuary, a few miles outside the seaside village of Aberdyfi (Aberdovey)."
