Meet the Owners ..
Matilda's Field began in 2017 when owners, Mike & Donna moved to Tyddyn Amlwg. They decided to make it not only a home, but a site that could provide a temporary retreat from the everyday for our guests.
Tyddyn Amlwg is set in an incredibly peaceful location in the middle of the Dyfnant Forest. It's hard to find but that's part of the adventure in getting there, once you've found it we think you will agree that Matilda's Field is once found, never forgotten!
Matilda's Field is set within a 6 acre smallholding at Tyddyn Amlwg, surrounded by forest and wildlife, and site is home to sheep, lambs and cats amongst others.
