  • Private and peaceful bell tent with great Carmarthenshire views
  • Kidwelly 10 minutes' drive; 20 to National Botanic Garden of Wales
  • Self-contained glamping with private kitchen and bathroom facilities
Ffos Wilkin Glamping is a small site with a peaceful and private bell tent on a former dairy farm just outside Kidwelly (10 minutes' drive) in the pretty Carmarthenshire countryside. Couples, keen walkers, avid cyclists and small families are all welcome here – and all will find plenty of things to see and do in the surrounding area. This site's six-metre bell tent is fully self contained, with a comfortable interior, cosy furnishings and beds that can sleep parties of up to four guests. The unit also comes with private camp kitchen and bathroom facilities, so there'll be no queuing up to cook or take a shower. The site is run by Craig and Julie, a friendly husband-and-wife team who also have a few furry family members. They live on site, meaning at least one of them is usually around to answer any questions you might have about the farm, the bell tent or the local area. The attractive small town of Kidwelly is four miles away and has a good range of places to eat, shop and relax, as well as a handy railway station.
