The Heron - Luxury glamping with a wild Welsh twist
The Heron is one of four identical, beautifully styled Isabella Time Out Tents, located on a much-loved glamping site near the picturesque market town of Rhayader. For those who love the idea of camping in rural Wales but still appreciate a few home comforts, this is the perfect retreat. Some might even call it luxury camping—offering everything needed for a truly memorable stay.
Sleeping up to five guests, with the option to accommodate two more on a double sofa bed for an additional charge, The Heron is ideal for families, friends, or couples seeking a unique countryside escape.
Inside, the state-of-the-art tent includes a fully equipped kitchenette with a small fridge freezer, electric oven, kettle, toaster, and all the essentials for cooking up anything from a hearty breakfast to a picnic lunch or evening meal. The open-plan layout makes the most of the space, with a large corner sofa and coffee table forming the heart of the living area—perfect for relaxing in front of the smart TV after a day exploring. The sofa also converts into a bed for extra guests.
At the rear of the tent are two bedrooms: a cosy elevated double bed and a triple bunk room, featuring a lower double and an upper single—ideal for children or friends sharing.
Step outside and the experience becomes even more special. The Heron boasts its own private hot tub with uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside, an outdoor seating area for alfresco dining, a fire pit for toasting marshmallows, and a star-gazing hammock where you can unwind in the sunshine while listening to the gentle sound of a nearby brook.
While the tent itself does not include an en-suite bathroom, guests have full access to the on-site toilet and shower block, just a short walk away.
If you’re in the mood to explore, you’re in a fantastic location. Watch red kites being fed locally, discover the breathtaking beauty of the Elan Valley, or take a leisurely walk through Gilfach Nature Reserve. There’s no shortage of opportunities for adventure, wildlife spotting, or simply soaking in the fresh Welsh air.
