A note from the site themselves...

Banwy Glamping is a family run business set up by husband and wife Andy and Sarah with help from son Angus.

The pods are situated in a five acre site with access to the River Banwy on our farm in the Welsh hills.

We wanted to create holiday lets that utilised Andy's previous experience building log cabins and bespoke timber buildings whilst being able to showcase the beautiful part of Wales that we are fortunate enough to call home.
