A note from the site themselves...

We had been sitting on the idea of setting up our own campsite for around ten years (we like to do things slowly around here). We were running a small holding and whilst the children were little, we wanted to diversify into tourism and share our beautiful setting with guests.

During the start of 2020, sadly Maria's lovely Dad passed away and Covid 19 struck! These events sent a shock wave through us and we became extremely aware, now more than ever, that our time is limited and sitting on your dreams isn't going to make them come true. So, amidst the chaos and uncertainty, we went for it and decided it was time to follow our dreams.

The magical charm of Mid Wales in particular makes it even more inviting. We truly feel blessed to be able to fall asleep under starry skies and wake up to never-ending views of rolling green hills and bird song. This is the experience that we felt we had to share.

We want all of our guests to have a visit to remember, so do get in touch if there's anything we can help you with to make your stay special. In September 2023, we finally took the plunge (after 17 years) and got married, holding our reception in Tipi marquees onsite so anything is possible. We can't wait to welcome you soon!

We had a wonderful break in the safari tent at Ty Llewelyn. My only regret is that we didn't book to stay for another night! The safari tent was brilliant and the outdoor bath was such a treat, Maria and Ian really have thought of everything and we can't wait to come back. Maria was such a welcoming and attentive host, thank you so much for making our anniversary trip one to remember!

Amazing weekend

Bell Tent - Lotus Belle TentsAug 2024

Booked all 3 Belle Tents with friends for 2 nights with 6 adults and 6 kid. We had the best time, kids loved every minute! Big field right out side for the kids to play and safe. The Belle tents have everything that you need duvets, pillows, extra blankets, lights and a gas heater. This saves having to pack the cars to the brim. The kitchen area also has everything like gas cookers, cutlery, plates. Only thing I would recommend is to bring some extra pans or frying pans. Great location, with a stream and rope swings on site. Be prepared for the eco toilets, bit smelly but we have stayed at places with eco loos before, so was as we expected, the showers where hot and a good pressure. They have a honesty shed that has some essentials and offers ice pack exchange. Also, great charging station for phones/tablets with all types of leads provided and Wi-Fi. We were very happy and will be returning again.

Safari Tent - Safari TentsAug 2024

We absolutely loved our short but sweet stay in the safari tent. Maria was so kind and really helpful and we were left to enjoy the space and solitude. The compostable toilet and separate shower were great, no problems at all and the outside bath was a particular highlight for the kids. Would 100% come back and couldn’t recommend this more highly.
