About the site

You'll find the site at the foothills of the beautiful Preseli Mountains, the site having been lovingly created by Tim and Lucie. It's ideally situated inside the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and just five miles from the sea - an ideal starting point for exploring Pembrokeshire and West Wales. The site is available for group bookings only and guests have exclusive use of the meadow running down to the River Bannon, with space for two to four people split between the shepherd's hut and a pod. The glamping site is in a large meadow bounded by the River Bannon and fields with the owners' home out of sight and 200 metres away. You will have maximum privacy during your stay. The shepherd's hut is furnished with a comfortable king size bed and Welsh blankets. There is a kitchen area with hot running water, sink, cooker and a wood burning stove. Outside, you can lounge on the upcycled benches or gather around the campfire with drinks as the stars come out. Fall asleep to the sound of the stream and wake to birdsong. In addition to a shepherd's hut, extra optional accommodation includes a barn style pod which has a camp kitchen. The shepherd's hut, pod and bathroom hut have electricity but the bell tent is off-grid.

The site is open from April until October, but may also take bookings outside of those dates for the shepherd's hut.
