Enjoy a digital detox in this rustic, yet smart, safari tent built amid magical woodland in rural Wales. Just within Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons National Park), it’s a fantastic base for four adults and one child – so for two couples, a group of like-minded friends or a family. Anyone who wants to explore both Hay-on-Wye (500 metres), and its literary links, or the wider majesty of Mid Wales will love this tranquil location.
Entering this quirky safari tent from the covered balcony, you’ll be amazed at the space inside. With rustic wood and artefacts dotted about, the green canvas walls and ceiling perfectly reflect the trees outside. Prepare dinner in the compact, but well-equipped, kitchen before getting cosy in the lounge area, in front of a large wood burner to keep things snuggly. To the rear, the statement king-size bed is impressive with its four-poster appearance owed to twisted tree limbs. The second bedroom boasts a double bed with a single above it bunkbed style (for a child only). The covered balcony is spacious, and a great idea given the unpredictability of the Welsh weather. It’s furnished, with a BBQ and fire pit and even an outdoor bath.
Situated at the northern tip of the Brecon Beacons, there’s stacks of brilliant walking and cycling all around this quirky home from home. Enjoy getting active, while taking in the sights and sounds of nature. Hay-on-Wye is within 500 metres, easily reached by crossing the River Wye. It’s famous for its literary festival and known as the ‘town of books’. It has lots of fascinating shops, eateries and cafes to explore. If you’ve always fancied coarse or fly fishing, then the owners of this property can arrange that on a private section of the River Wye with prior notice.
