We loved our peaceful stay in the cabin. The cabin was beautiful and in such a lovely location. We especially loved the hot tub on a starry night. Would highly recommend.
Fantastic getaway
Reviewed on 25/09/2023
I booked this as a surprise getaway for my partner. We were blown away by everything. The cleanliness and comfort of the tent was fantastic and the place was kitted out with everything you’d need. Our sons did not want to come home at all, we visited Elan Valley which by the way is breathtaking. We visited Rhayader and went for a delicious breakfast in the Lost Arc. Highly recommend these tents and the surrounding attractions. Thank you for having us. Core memories were made.
