About The Swallows
This dog friendly, adult only space is a great spot to relax and get away from it all. This beautiful glamping site offers the best of both worlds - a rural retreat in the Carmarthenshire countryside but within five minutes of the village of Llandybïe for your holiday essentials. You will have the exclusive use of a 5 metre bell tent furnished with all the necessary bedding, cooking facilities, a woodland shower and a toilet surrounded by trees. Everything is off-grid as the site aims to strike a balance between providing the comforts of home and its impact on the environment. Start your day with complimentary, freshly laid eggs from the resident rescue hens for breakfast. Then enjoy a full day exploring the meadow for a bit of nature spotting, looking out for birds of prey, including red kites and buzzards and, of course, the swallows who nest here every year. Picnic under the shade of trees or paddle in the stream with your four-legged friends. Alternatively, you can, of course, just do nothing but sit and admire the view. In the evening, relax by the fire pit and admire the dark skies overhead, offering a great opportunity for some star gazing. From the site, there is easy access to plenty to see and do with hidden gems like Llansstefan Beach and Aberglasney Gardens, up to 30 minutes away. Plus, the Brecon Beacons is just a 15 minute drive away, with Pen Y Fan and waterfalls just under an hour away. Dogs are warmly welcomed at this idyllic retreat.
This site is open between 12th July and 4th August and again for the August bank holiday.
