A note from the site themselves...

The story of our site begins in 2017 when we first moved to Tyddyn Amlwg. Not only had we been looking for a home, but somewhere that could be a temporary retreat from the every day for our guests.

We aim to create a stay that we would enjoy ourselves, where our guests leave feeling rejuvenated and recharged. We very much believe that once you have stayed with us, you will leave with the mantra of Matilda's Field being once found but never forgotten. I hope to welcome you soon, Michael

Safari Tent - Canol y Cae Safari TentJun 2022

First time staying in the safari tents and would really recommend for those who want the experience of staying in the outdoors, but with all the comforts. Mike was super friendly and kept us topped up with firewood and gave us local tips. The location is quite remote, so would recommend you take your supplies (there is also a handy honesty box in case you forget anything) but it's perfect for those who want to relax and be immersed in the Welsh countryside. Spent every evening drinking wine around the fire pit - bliss.
