About Wigwam Holidays Builth Wells
Within less than two hours of buzzing Cardiff and vibrant Birmingham, this site is tucked into an idyllic part of rural Mid Wales. You're surrounded by green landscapes and gently grazing sheep - yet still in easy driving distance of local towns.
Looking out over the peaceful lakeshore are six heated Wigwam pods, each fully furnished and offering the luxury of an ensuite toilet and shower. These sleep four on a double bed and comfy sofa bed.
They also each have a kitchenette with a kettle, electric hob, microwave, fridge toaster and toastie maker, alongside utensils and other essentials.
There's also a dining table and chairs so that you can eat in comfort and a flat screen TV with Freeview so that you needn't miss out on your favourite show.
Outside you can relax around the fire pit and there's a picnic table. You can even book a Wigwam with a luxurious wood fired hot tub outside!
In front of the cosy pods is a lovely open space allowing children to play freely, with plenty of space.
A max of two dogs are welcome to join you in pet friendly Wigwams. Groups are welcome provided that they book the entire site for their exclusive use.
Wigwam Holidays Builth Wells is open all year round.

Camping Pod - Deluxe Ensuite Wigwam Glamping Pod with Optional Hot TubSep 2024
I booked this trip as a surprise for our aunt who turned 60.
Online booking was straightforward and the price was reasonable, even with the additional for the hot tub.
The location was easy to find using Google maps. I pulled up to the pod that had my name on it and was able to keep my vehicle parked directly outside the pod for the duration of the trip.
The doors of the pod were thoughtfully decorated, which was a welcomed touch. The hot tub was ready for us to use, Emma came over to introduce herself in a smiling and welcoming manner.
Everything in the pod has been carefully thought out and selected. The views are outstanding. All the neighbouring pods were occupied by people who respected the peace and tranquillity of the location.
We had an amazing experience and I will be visiting again with my spouse, extended family, friends and whoever else would like to join me.

Camping Pod - Deluxe Ensuite Wigwam Glamping Pod with Optional Hot TubJul 2024
From the moment we arrived to the end of our stay, I could not rate this destination more highly.
The facilities were spotless, everything was set up for our stay and even though we arrived early, we were greeted warmly and invited in.
The pods are very comfortable and very well appointed with a small but well thought out kitchen area and bathroom which made for a perfect self contained holiday.
We swam in the lake every day, which was lovely, and felt very special being able to walk straight out of the pod and into the water.
We had a bird call identification app and found that we were surrounded by so many different varieties, it was fascinating. We saw most of them too so I would highly recommend that. We used it when we were sitting outside drinking tea or in the evenings when we were out using the fire pit.
All in all, a superb holiday and one that I will remember for a long time. I would recommend to anyone who wants to get some peace and quiet in beautiful surroundings.

Wow, this did make me have a little tear of joy. I am so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us. Thank you for your lovely feedback. We are very lucky to live and share a little piece of mid Wales paradise with others. I would love to know which birds you heard. Just behind us on 'The Begwns' we can hear Curlews, which is exciting.
Anyway, thanks again for staying with us and hopefully see you both again if you are in the area. Take care both 🌞

Alternatively, pop in the car and find great outdoorsy activities in the Brecon Beacons, where biking, hiking and horse riding are all on the cards.
