A note from the site themselves...

We live in such a beautiful part of the world and wanted to share it with everyone, so set up our site. A hillside retreat nestled in the rolling hills run by the Jones family (Glyn, Lynne, Reece and Carrie), who have been farming at Great House farm since 1970.

We look to develop the site every year and this year you will be able to see new animals when you visit - our Jabob sheep and our donkeys - Pablo and Barney.

Pod - Irfon Glamping PodApr 2024

We had a fab weekend. The pod is fab. It was beautifully decorated for our birthdays, very cosy and warm, with everything we needed. A lovely stay with friends. Some lovely walks nearby. Would recommend the 4 Falls walk about an hour away. The fresh eggs were lovely for breakfast.

Pod - Chwefru Glamping PodApr 2024

Wanted a short stay for mine and daughter's birthday. A lovely scenic retreat, sounds of sheep and lambs bleating away was cute! Comfortable pod, very clean and cosy. Hot tub was great too. Not far from Hay-on-Wye, so had a nice day out there. Definitely recommend and will stay again!

Pod - Irfon Glamping PodMar 2024

Had a lovely stay in the pods. The hosts were so helpful and friendly. An amazing location and we were lucky enough to see all the adorable newborn lambs on the farm. Even in the bad weather, we loved the hot tub and the pod was nice and cosy with all the essentials provided for you - would highly recommend!!
