4m Bell Tent 'Cuckoo' (2 at Cwmffrwd Farm)
UK Wales South Wales Monmouthshire Abergavenny Cwmffrwd Farm
Our beautiful 4m bell tent is perfect for those 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. Although entirely off-grid, this homely abode is kitted out with comfort in mind. Cuckoo has a double futon style bed with bedding and linen provided (fitted sheet, 15 tog duvet, two pillows), and two additional inflatable mattresses/camp beds (bedding not provided for these), cushions and rugs. A simple steel wheel fire pit (remember to bring a griddle if you want to cook on it) is also provided outside. There is also space for a small tent or gazebo beside Cuckoo. 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 sell boxes of wood, kindling and firelighters for £10 cash :)
We ask all guests to park in the main campsite carpark and walk to their tents. There are wheelbarrows available for you to move your kit, and if the 4x4 is home then we will certainly help you. Check in is between 4pm 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
