See all facilities…Tipi or not tipi, that is the question... Just like Hamlet, you’ll find yourself in splendid isolation at this exclusive site in the beautiful Brecon Beacons, where the only neighbours are the sparkling river and its resident heron. Unlike the depressive Dane, however, you’ll soon drop the navel-gazing as you whoop, “Tipi!” and get stuck into your very own slings and arrows adventure...
The authentic tipi at Cwm Banw Tipi Retreat is decorated with hand painted Native American wall hangings and sheepskin rugs, and has a double futon (cosy bedding is provided) and rustic furniture all the way from Wyoming.
Alongside the tent are two hand-crafted wooden huts, housing a private composting loo and a hot spring-fed shower respectively, with eco-friendly toiletries laid on. There’s also a kitchen tent equipped with a cool box, food storage, gas rings and a grill, plus cooking utensils and tableware for up to six people.
Enjoy a romantic candlelit meal inside the tipi, or dine al fresco on the covered stoop deck, before putting your feet up in the hammock or swing seat next to the firepit, and letting the calmness of this amazing place soak in....
Guests can also book themselves in for a bubble in an outdoor hot tub with valley views, which they’ll find at the nearby farmhouse, along with a sauna, and a trained masseuse who also runs yoga and meditation sessions on demand.
Up to three people can fit inside the tipi, but if you’re a larger group, three more can come along with their own tent and camping gear (we suggest a game of bows and arrows to decide who gets the tipi...).
Finally, the owners recommend bringing torches and decent shoes, as access is via a track and down a grassy slope to the tipi in the meadow.

A Great Escape even in the Rain hancock (Family with young children, 1 review, 15 photos)
Liked: The site is in a stunning location - very private and next to a stream which kept the kids happy for hours panning for fools gold. Jilly was a great host and my husband was able to have a Hot Tub and Massage at the farm house. It was our first time in a Tipi as a family. Disliked: It rained for half the time, but there was plenty to do and the "Stoop" shelter was great. |

Excellent - a chance to get back in touch with nature and my inner self merlinuk (Solo traveller-male, 1 review, 0 photos)
Liked: Fantastic location with stunning views and excellent facilities. The sound of the nearby stream adds an extra dimension and the whole aura of the site is relaxing. Jilly is an excellent host and the hottub adds an excellent(luxurious) addition to the experience. Sitting by a camp fire, watching the stars come out in such a lovely location cannot be beaten. I returned a new man. It was my first time in a tipi but ... Disliked: The time went to quickly! |
