About the site
Free from road noise, escape the hustle and bustle to Matilda's Field, enjoying a stunning location at the centre of Dyfnant Forest. It's a great starting point for trips to Snowdonia National Park too, as well as Lake Vyrnwy nearby. Take your pick from two luxury safari tents here, both fully equipped with comfy beds, spacious kitchen and lounge area, private bathrooms and surrounded by acres of space for walking, playing or just taking in the glorious countryside scenery. The Brig y Bryn safari tent sleeps up to six and is set at the very top of the glamping field with views of the forest and beyond. Get a good night's sleep in the king sized four poster bed, as well as an additional double cabin bed and two single beds. The Canol y Cae safari tent sleeps up to four with a king size sleigh bed and two single beds, with beautiful views overlooking the pond and forest. Both include a well equipped kitchen featuring hob, cooking utensils, crockery and cutlery, plus an extra large cooler box (we replace ice blocks daily). The lounge areas include large comfy sofas, and a cast iron heater. Step outside onto the veranda and you'll spot your very own private BBQ and picnic area. As we are a small site with only two units, you can hire both and enjoy exclusive use of the field for your own private holiday with family and friends away from the bustle of the city.
