The cosy under canvas tipis and domes are situated in four acres of beautiful woodland, just a stone's throw from the popular market town of Hay on Wye.
The three cosy Kata tipis are based on a traditional design but use 21st Century fabrics and construction techniques to provide a wind-resistant, sophisticated space that is easy to keep warm and homely, perfect for the Welsh climate!
The unique design of the two Geodomes went down a storm with guests last year. They create more space without internal supports than any other structure and are posh camping at it best with a comfy double bed and huge beanbags.
Each tipi and dome, sits on a wooden platform and comfortably sleeps four adults, two on a double futon bed and two on roll out futon mattresses. The domes can sleep up to 6. The beds and futons are topped memory foam toppers plus luxurious, contemporary welsh blankets, cushions and throws and the floors are covered in rugs and sheepskins.
To complete the cosy camping experience all units have a stylish wood burning stove that can be stoked up to keep you toasty over night. Getting back to basics and lighting a campfire is positively encouraged and you can cook on it or in the embers, have a BBQ or knock yourself something up on the camping stove in the shared deck kitchen.
All the essentials are thoughtfully provided to make a well earned cup of tea on arrival. Well behaved dogs, with their own beds are welcome by prior arrangement.
Let me suggest taking advantage of a handy extra service and pre order your cool box to be stocked with groceries including locally sourced seasonal fruit and vegetables, our fresh eggs, local Neal's Yard cheese and organic milk. It saves a dash to the shops after a long journey.
The kitchen is equipped with traditional enamel crockery, pots, pans, cutlery and cooking utensils, a cool box and storage box for dried food. Fresh cold spring water is provided from a tap in the kitchen and washroom for drinking, washing, washing up and cooking.
There is a compost loo and washroom in the woods for the tipis to share or alternatively pop up to the wet room for that all important hot shower, only a short stroll away.
Send the kids off scouting for fallen twigs. Toasting marshmallows on your own camp fire tastes all the better if you have sourced the wood - trust me I know! Kids will enjoy feeding the resident pigs any veggie scraps. And discover the thrill of finding a freshly laid eggs and then cooking it for breakfast with bacon...yum yum. A small basket of colouring pencils can be borrowed for the kids to use and a useful supply of games.
Stay local - In the woods there is the beginning of a willow tipi, a bracken den for anyone to add to as they wish, a recycled tyre horse swing for hours of fun, a rope ladder and explore the water meadow area (separated by a fence with style from the woods) with a shallow stream to paddle in and a bridge for pooh sticks. Or just laze in the hammocks to absorb the peace, quiet and scenery the site has to offer.
Stray away - enjoy pottering round the market towns of Hay on Wye or Kington, meander the surrounding countryside and network of footpaths and bridleways, stride a section of the Offa's Dyke Path, or visit the spectacular Brecon Beacons National Park.
For more adventure - why not try a mountain bike ride, a family kayak trip along the River Wye, an exciting gorge challenge or pony trekking with spectacular mountain views.
Whatever you choose to do with your day, when you return to your tipi, you can pour yourself a drink, light a roaring fire and enjoy a slower pace of life - an alternative break away from the trappings of a hectic life.
