A note from the site themselves...

Finding Pantmaenog Farm back in 2018 was love at first sight! We came across the farm almost by accident when we moved to Mid Wales and were instantly blown away by the breathtaking mountain views, and beautiful dark skies.

We are honoured to share this 60-acre hill with so much natural wildlife as well as our horses, tame sheep and dogs. Our mission is to work with nature and slowly rewild the farm. Our camping and glamping business allows us to share this magical site with you.

Being a small site allows me to offer all the small touches to make your stay extra special -just ask!
