  • Gorgeous glamping site on a family-run farm in the Golden Valley
  • In Abbey Dore, 25 minutes’ drive from Hereford and Abergavenny
  • Private kitchen and shower/toilet facilities, barbecue and firepit
It won’t be much of a surprise when you realise you've become very fond of Pond and Beyond Glamping after a trip to this site on a family-run sheep farm. With fab views, pretty countryside surrounds, a peaceful atmosphere and a location in between the Brecon Beacons and the Wye Valley, it’s a stellar spot for holidays in Herefordshire. Stays here are in a bell tent circled by a fenced patch of land for privacy – and to keep wandering sheep away – with sleeping space for up to four people. Inside, the accommodation is furnished with a fully equipped kitchen, a kingsize bed and solar or battery lighting, plus there's access to an open-air hot shower and a compost toilet. Head outdoors to sit around the firepit and grill grub on the barbecue (the first bag of wood is provided, and more is available to buy on site). Each pitch has a gate leading to a field and roams by the river or games of rounders. Wander to Dore Abbey, a couple of minutes away, or take a longer lope to the greenery of Ewyas Harold Common (half an hour on foot). You could head to Hereford for kayak rental (25 minutes) and the Wye Valley for canoeing (35 minutes) or just amble on nearby trails through Golden Valley. The site has no electricity, so it’s a top spot for experiencing a digital detox in a wildlife-rich area with a relaxed atmosphere. Because it's off the grid, it’s worth packing a coolbox – the owner can freeze ice packs for you – and a power bank if you really do need to charge up your devices.

Iwona W.

Dragonfly bell tent (ten person)

Liked Mandy greeted us with a warm smile. We were family of 8 adults and we all enjoyed very much. If you want to switch off from the social media and just relax this is the place. It's also echo friendly and has all you need. You only need to bring the food to cook and some drinks. The tents are spacious, beds very comfortable. There is designated firepit area, a big grill to use and table with seats. The kitche is well equipped and had all you need. I love the shower and loo made from the wood. The site is on the back of the farm which means it's peace and quiet. You can listen to birds, cows or other creatures. I wish we could stay longer. Communication with Mandy was easy and pleasant. I will persuade my family to come back next year for our family gathering. Thank you Mandy 🙂

Disliked Nothing to dislike 🙂

Local attractions

This is an ace area for walks. Head out on hikes up to the nearby peaks of the Brecon Beacons and the Black Mountains – Ysgyryd Fawr and Sugar Loaf (25 and 30 minutes’ drive) are your best bets – or set off towards the gentler landscape of the Malvern Hills across the border in England (an hour). For organised activities, there’s paintballing within five minutes, along with animal-petting trips to the Small Breeds Farm Park and Owl Centre (35 minutes) for the younger members of your travel troupe. Take a leaf out of the literati’s book and visit Hay-on-Wye (half an hour) for its numerous second-hand shops selling antique novels and the like. Or browse the market stalls in the traditional town of Abergavenny and check out the legendary Mappa Mundi medieval map in Hereford.
