Canol y Cae 2 bedroom safari tent
Liked: Enjoyed every second of the holiday, Mike was friendly and informative about the local area and what to do. The safari tent itself was perfect, cosy and felt very homely. And the location, well that was just breathtaking. Falling asleep to the sound of nature and the rain is just dreamy, like this whole stay was. Would come back and stay again in a heartbeat, hands down, the best staycation I have been on to date!

Brig y Bryn 3 bedroom safari tent
Liked: We had the best time at Matildas field. The owner Mike was exceptionally friendly and accommodating. The tent had everything you could need, comfy beds, all utensils, hot water bottles, binoculars for the gorgeous view and incredible wdlife all around. My daughter loved the cabin bed which she claimed as her own and spent a lot of the time whilst we were in the tent. A safe was a really nice touch to put your valuable in whilst out and about. The stars on a clear night was incredible you could see the milkyway! The tent, bathroom and veranda were exceptionally clean and maintained everywhere looked new. Will definitely come back to explore snowdonia again!

Liked: A beautiful secluded location in the embrace of Dyfnant Forest with spectacular views of the Welsh countryside to the front. the Safari tent we stayed was very clean and well maintained, it was well equipped with lovely touches including a rum and raisins banjo made by the owners father. Although there is no mains electricity (it is a tent in a field after all) they do have solar powered lighting and plenty of lamps for the dark evenings. Heating is provided via a gas fire which kept the tent lovely and warm on cold nights. Water is via a bore hole on the property, it is very fresh and safe to drink and there is hot water on demand for showering or washing up - use the water mindfully though as the the owners rely on the supply too. There is a well equipped kitchen with a dual gas hob for cooking complete with a whistling kettle! a very comfortable leather sofa with plenty of throws and cushions and a large farmhouse dinner table with chairs. there is a large cool box provided and the owners will refresh the ice packs everyday. though i would recommend taking your own cool box also. From the tent you can walk on access roads through much of the forest and there a several circular routes that will bring you back to the tent. A short drive away is lake Vyrnwy which is spectacular. The owners are very welcoming and always on call. relaxing and unwinding here was effortless.

Liked: Lovely welcoming hosts, tent was very clean and cosy. All cooking utensils, pots, pans provided. Home away from home with the kids. Was also very lucky to have a signal up there so you could use phone and Internet.
Disliked: Sat nav is a bit useless as it's very rural so got a little lost but very well sign posted once you know what your looking for.

From the manager: Hi Rebecca, Thanks for the review! Yes, Sat-nav's can be confusing round here as we are off the main road and on forestry tracks. We do send out detailed directions to hopefully help. Hope to see you again soon! Best Wishes Mike & Donna
