  • Adults-only glamping set in a stunning Mid Wales woodland
  • A 10-min drive to Llanfair Caereinion, 50 to Snowdonia National Park
  • Shared farmhouse kitchen and private bathrooms and hot tubs
After a stay at The Secret Yurts you’ll either want to shout at the top of your voice about this serene site set in woodland within Powys’ green hills or keep it all to yourself… Either way, a glamping experience in the lantern filled, Central Asian-style tents with a woodburning stove, a kingsize bed made from reclaimed wood and fancy feather-stuffed linens is an excellent way to spend a weekend… All settled in? Crack open the champers – you’ll be given an ice bucket to keep your plonk chilled – and ease yourself into your private hot tub to unwind in the open air before drenching yourself in the private rain shower set inside a swish wooden eco-building. Fluffy towels and dressing gowns are provided for towelling off, as well as a hairdryer. When it’s time to sort meals (or counter the effects of the bubbly with a cup of tea or coffee…), a shared farmhouse kitchen is to hand; take your eats outside for alfresco dining with valley views or fire up the barbecue and get cooking over coals. For follow-up sups, try the pubs and wine bar in Llanfair Caereinion (a 10-minute drive away) or pick up supermarket booze over in Welshpool, a quarter of an hour away. To head off on walks in the wilderness of Wales, all you need to do is set off from the site: strolls can be had right from its grounds. And if you’re up for alternative ways to journey through the countryside? The Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway is a five minutes’ drive and riding stables plus bike hire are half an hour away.

Yurt (pet friendly, hot tub)

Liked: We stayed at the Secret Yurts for 3 nights and wow it was nothing short of amazing! The quiet and peaceful location was perfect for evenings in the hot tub and relaxing. The owners Michelle and Phil were so welcoming, nothing was too much trouble, making it feel like a home from home. Thank you for such a lovely short break, we will definitely be back!

Local attractions

If you can bear to tear yourself away from all the comfort, head out hiking – this site’s 50 minutes from the middle of Snowdonia National Park for explores in one of the country’s most naturally stunning area. Hotfoot it to Lake Vyrnwy for waterside expeditions 35 minutes away – this big body of water is a prime place for canoeing and kayaking. And if you’re wanting to see aquatic features of even more of an epic sort? Pistyll Rhaeadr waterfall in the Berwyn Mountains – often called one of the Seven Wonders of Wales – is 45 minutes away; feel free to have a rest in the coffee shop if you’ve braved the four-mile walk from Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochnant). Fancy getting on your bike instead? The much-celebrated trails of Coed y Brenin Visitor Centre are a 55-minute drive, while the Bwlch Nant yr Arian Forest Visitor Centre (where you can feed red kites) takes an hour and 10 to reach.
