The Otter – Luxury Glamping with a Wild Heart
Nestled on a popular glamping site just outside the charming market town of Rhayader, The Otter is one of four beautifully designed Isabella Time Out Tents offering a luxury camping experience with all the comforts of home. It’s the perfect retreat for those who want to immerse themselves in the beauty of rural Wales without giving up the little luxuries that make a holiday truly special.
Sleeping up to five guests—with space for two more on a double sofa bed available for an additional fee—The Otter combines smart design with cosy charm. Inside, the tent features an open-plan living area with a spacious corner sofa and coffee table, ideal for relaxing after a day out exploring. The sofa also transforms into a bed, making it a flexible option for larger groups or families. A smart TV is included for those relaxing evenings in, where you can kick back and enjoy your favourite shows.
The fully equipped kitchenette includes a small fridge freezer, electric oven, kettle, toaster, and all the essentials needed to prepare anything from a hearty breakfast to a picnic or evening meal. Everything has been thoughtfully arranged to make cooking easy and sociable, so no one misses out on the fun.
At the rear of the tent, two bedrooms offer cosy sleeping arrangements: a raised comfy double bed in one, and a triple bunk setup in the other, with a lower double and upper single bed—perfect for families with children.
But the magic doesn’t end inside. Step outdoors and you’ll find your own private hot tub, where you can soak under the stars or enjoy a glass of bubbly in the warmth of the bubbles. The outdoor space also features a dining area for alfresco meals, a fire pit for marshmallow toasting, and a star-gazing hammock—a tranquil spot to relax with a book or simply take in the sounds of the nearby babbling brook.
While the tent doesn’t include a private bathroom, guests have easy access to modern on-site toilet and shower facilities, just a short walk from the accommodation. An electric plinth heater inside the tent adds a touch of warmth on cooler nights, so you can enjoy the true glamping experience in comfort.
Adding to the charm of your stay, you’ll find a small group of friendly alpacas on-site. These gentle animals bring smiles to everyone they meet and make the experience even more magical—especially for little ones.
Beyond the site, the local area offers endless opportunities for exploration. Watch the majestic Red Kites being fed nearby, take in the stunning landscapes of the Elan Valley, or enjoy a leisurely wander through the peaceful Gilfach Nature Reserve. Whether you're seeking adventure or simply a chance to unwind in nature, The Otter promises a truly memorable glamping escape.
Please Note: These tents have an Electric Plinth Heater to take the chill but allows you to experience the real meaning of 'Glamping.'
Please be advised that there is a 10pm outdoor noise curfew. This is a family-friendly property, and all guests are expected to respect the quiet hours to ensure the comfort of everyone on site.
