Officially an ‘Amazing Space’ offering a unique ‘glamping’ experience… The ingenious construction of the Red Kite Tree Tent forms a beautiful structure inside and out which blends with its natural environment. The cosy tent space, suspended from the trees, comfortably accommodates two adults with a double bed which will already be made when you arrive. The log burner is a lovely, unexpected luxury for camping in the trees and no Sheepskin ‘cottage’ would be complete without one and transforms the tent into a very romantic space too. This is a Sheepskin experience so the finishing touches ensure you have all you need to complete a unique experience including a special ‘glamping essentials’ welcome hamper.

Route directions

Down a 2 mile single track, off the B4358 near Builth Wells and Llanafan-fawr. A long, winding flint track keeps you guessing what will be at the end and you will not be disappointed… Nearest train station Builth Wells though the secluded nature of the Tree Tent means that your own transport is ideal.
