It’s beautiful place. The tent and beddings are clean. Private toilet, shower and simple kitchen are next to the tent. It’s neat town with Co-Op and some restaurants.

Glamping in the wilderness here has become our annual end of summer tradition and this is such an exceptional place to spend time in. It’s up a very long winding road up which makes it so secluded. The glamping pods and the indoor/outdoor kitchen...

We drove into the middle of nowhere to find 2 tents overlooking the most peaceful, beautiful view. We opened the tent to luxury camping. We had everything we needed. I can't fault the whole holiday. 🥰🥰

Cooking and dining equipment is stored in plastic boxes underneath the worktops. Please make every effort to clean and replace in readiness for the next guests. Food waste can be placed in the caddy provided. Please take all rubbish back with you to dispose of / recycle. Firewood for the firepits can be purchased in many of the shops in Llandovery. Each unit has some books, playing cards and board games, plus some binoculars to spot the Red Kites. The area is truly beautiful, with stunning views of rolling hills and mountains. Close to several walking routes including The Cambrian Way and the Heart of Wales Trail.
I am an artist living and working at the neighbouring property. I take much inspiration for my artwork from the beautiful surroundings. My studio is an old railway carriage and is in our front lawn with amazing views of hills and mountains. My husband is a mechanic and has a garage in Llandovery. We have two teenage children so between us we work as a team to provide a welcoming glampsite. We are lucky enough to be able to live with my mother on her sheep farm. As my childhood home, I would spend a huge amount of time playing and exploring outdoors. There are some lovely routes to walk nearby and spectacular views too. During the summer months we enjoy laying out on the lawn stargazing and spotting shooting stars. We have created a beautiful retreat in which we are pleased to share with our guests in the hope that they can appreciate the stunning environment. We will continue to plant wildflower seeds, perennials and trees to encourage bees, birds and other wildlife.
