Brecon Beacons Bell Tents

Em va agradar: The kind of gem you want to tell nobody about so that it stays just as it is, and is a secret treasure. I have to admit however I'd recommend it to anyone! Magical location, right next to the river, owls and woodpeckers galore, plus an elusive sheep. The site is located right next to multiple different footpaths, pretty much at the base of the Sugar Loaf and the Table Top, both of which are lovely walks and feel so special and like they are your own personal hills, with the track going straight from sleeping bag to summit! We arrived by train and bus, and then it's a beautiful walk along the river path from Glangrwyney, past the pub (which looked great although wasn't open during our stay as we arrived on Monday- fair enough). Wasn't too far of a walk, even with heavy bags, 3km-ish, and so pretty you hardly notice the distance. Spectacularly dark at night, really very special feeling with no light pollution at all, and even the solar powered warm cosy lights of the campsite were on some kind of a timer so they dimmed as you got ready to sleep, before turning off. This was such a nice touch! Marc (the site owner) was happy to leave us to our own devices, but always just a message/call away just in case. You have made a great campsite, thank you so much! We very much hope to come back!

Em va agradar: We had a lovely experience, felt completely on our own which is perfect when camping in a “wild camp” setting. Given plenty of wood and Kindling to last the evening and morning. Great location for walks and a short drive to Abergavenny.

No em va agradar: Best not turn up in the dark as it’s a little walk to the pitch from the car but it was manageable.

Em va agradar: Location was fantastic. Just a few minutes to shops, pubs and restaurants but secluded enough to enjoy the peace and tranquility of nature. It was like living in our own wood. Everything we needed was provided or available. Marc checked in to make sure we were ok, and had everything we needed, including enough logs for the night. We loved it there and will definitely return.

No em va agradar: Nothing

Em va agradar: Wonderful place despite the weather. Minimal reception, so phones used for essential stuff only - checking the weather forecast.😀😀🤞. Comfy bed, huge tent, well equipped kitchen, only needed sharp knives for cooking, but I take mine when we go away anyway. The dogs loved it, the private field is almost fully enclosed so no need to worry about them. Only possibility of escape is under the gate at the far end unless you have a strong swimmer then maybe up the opposite bank. Firepit was great, we cooked on it as well as sat round it at night. Glad we had a 4WD car as we would had to leave the car at the top. The monsoon conditions did not help.

No em va agradar: The style out of the field and the one on the other side of the foot bridge are not dog friendly. Always a bit of a pain with big dogs. They both needed lifting over, not something they are happy with.

Em va agradar: This is a beautiful and secluded site next to a lovely little river where you are surrounded by trees and wildlife - we saw bats, birds of prey, ducks, hundreds of butterflys and heard owls at night. The facilities were very comfortable and make for a very easy stay. Marc and family have literally thought of everything. Cooking over the firepit and sitting by it in the evening was a definite highlight. It is out in the open though so can't be used in wet weather. There is a stove in the outdoor kitchen too but if we went again we would probably take our portable BBQ which has a lid incase the weather is wet. There was no wifi or phone signal but we didn't see that as a bad thing. Nice walk to local pub. Would definitely recommended.

Em va agradar: Beautiful location, completely private, excellently and thoughtfully kitted out with everything you could need for your stay; even down to the little details. loved cooking over the fire pit next to the river and falling asleep to the sound of gentle water, even braved a little dip! The kids enjoyed a little bit of fishing (even though they didn't catch anything). Being in a dark skies area the stars where phenomenal. The tent was kept lovely and warm with the log burner and there was enough wood supplied to see us through the weekend, the shower was hot and refreshing and the compost toilet eco friendly. Will definitely return!
