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.
Kitchen, WC and shower facilities are self contained within the ensuite pods. Free WiFi is supplied and a baby bath can be supplied by the owners on request. Kayak hire is also available along with buoyancy aids for safety. Fire wood is available for purchase too.
Pubs and restaurants can be found within three miles and Co-ops can be found in Builth Wells or Hay-on-Wye (20 minutes). Larger supermarkets are within a 30 minute drive. Builth Wells also offers The Cwtch Cafe for coffee and sweet treats, along with lots of tasty takeaways.

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.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and used it as a base for walking in the Begwn hills.

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 🌞

Things to do on site and in the Builth Wells area
A charming trail from site will take you for an amble through National Trust land and towards a historic stone circle. Begwyns is a summit for those who want a modest challenge and big rewards (accessed via a footpath from site).
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. If you're in for a challenge, make for the Wye Valley Walk which winds over more than 130 miles and takes in some fabulous countryside, accessed close by.
For something truly quirky, the World Bog Snorkelling Championships in August are sure to be something you've never seen before, or you might see a new side of rural life at The Royal Welsh Show and tempt your ears with the Brecon Jazz Festival.
Other great things to see, do and visit:
- Black Mountain Activities (15 minutes)
- Llangorse Multi Activity Centre(30 minutes)
- Penderyn Distillery (50 minutes)
- Fforest Fawr Geopark (50 minutes)
- Cyfarthfa Castle Museum and Art Gallery (50 minutes)
