4m Bell Tent 'Buzzard' with stove (1 at Cwmffrwd Farm)
UK Wales South Wales Monmouthshire Abergavenny Cwmffrwd Farm
Our beautiful 4m bell tent with woodburning stove is perfect for friends and couples wanting to experience a little more wild in comfort!
The Owner Says
Our bell tents are in the top mountain meadow with acres of space and beautiful views. There is about 50m between each pitch. 'Buzzard' bell is named after the bird you'll enjoy watching soaring about above you during your stay - and the bell tent, just like its namesake, occupies the highest point on the farm, catching the last of the sun's rays as it sets directly west over the summit of the mountain opposite. Although entirely off-grid, this homely abode is kitted out with comfort in mind. Buzzard has a double futon style bed with bedding and linen provided (fitted sheet, 15 tog duvet, two pillows), an additional inflatable mattress (bedding not provided for this), cushions and rugs. The stove will keep you toasty warm and a box of wood, firelighter and matches will be waiting for you on your arrival :) A simple steel wheel fire pit (remember to bring a griddle if you want to cook on it) is also provided outside. We sell extra boxes of wood, kindling and firelighters for £10 cash :) In the same wildflower meadow and just a short stroll across the grass, you'll find our little sheltered 'Observation Station' for pulling up a chair and watching the wildlife, and the 'Lovely Looease' compost toilet. We ask all guests to park at the entrance to the campsite. There are wheelbarrows available for you to move your kit up to the tents, and if the 4x4 is home then we will certainly help you :) Check in is between 2pm and dusk and check out is 10am. The Brecon Beacons are a Dark Sky Reserve so a clear starry sky is really something special. The campsite is not lit at night and we advise you to bring torches and take care when it is dark.

We also have a beautiful wood-fired sauna on the farm that can be booked for use during your stay. Talk to Pridie and James about this if you would like to find out more:)

About Cwmffrwd Farm
Suitable For
Cwmffrwd Farm is the perfect rural retreat for those seeking a wilder kind of camping experience - it's all about nature and space! Tent, campervan and bell tent pitches are spaciously spread out across the meadows, with an average of seven pitches in each four acre field. Each booking has their own pitch in the wildflower meadows with a maximum of one tent / one van / one bell tent and six people per pitch. Tent pitches (7m x 5m) are located along the top of the camping fields boasting an epic view down the valley, and van pitches (VW/transit size) are located along the bottom of the meadows gazing up at the surrounding mountains. The bell tents are snuggled away in their own mountain meadow. Parking for all pitches is just as you enter the first field and there are plenty of wheelbarrows available for you to get your kit to your pitch. We can also help if the 4x4 is home. Dogs are very welcome, but we ask you to keep them on a lead or a tether at all times and be extra vigilant when it comes to clearing up after them. A bin is provided for this.Nearby
