HINTERLAND GLAMPING IN WALES
Wales is very hard to beat for the perfect glamping experience, you cannot be any closer to nature and it’s rugged countryside. From the beautiful award-winning coastlines to the lush mountains and green countryside, you can enjoy not just any old camping break but find something with a real difference. we've picked out our favourite more unique findings, from grand tree-houses to Yurts to Jets! Wales just has it all,
TrewaLter Treehouse, Brecon Beacons.
Deep in the heart of the Brecon Beacons, one of the most popular hiking destinations in Europe, you'll find Trewalter treehouse, a luxurious gem set against a rugged and dramatic natural backdrop. Set in four acres of lush Neolithic landscape, on the land of the historic Trewalter House, this cedar snuggery is nestled into the side of an ancient woodland in a secluded spot on the site, hovering above the Llynfi river below.
This is beyond your childhood dreams of living in a tree. With full facilities such as electricity, WiFi, a Smart TV, a fitted kitchen with dishwasher, a handcrafted acacia double bed with a cashmere mattress with the finest Egyptian cotton bed linen. The fantastic hot tub is perched on its own deck platform outside the treehouse, accessed by its own swing bridge. This beautiful treehouse is dotted with exquisite details such as a Nespresso coffee machine, Dyson hair dryer and Chrystal glassware, but none quite so impressive as the craftsmanship of this structure. The owners of this Welsh wonder have thought of absolutely everything, including how to delicately sit their high-end treehouse against the backdrop of the mighty Pen y Fan, the highest peak in South Wales. Everything about this space is wonderful, from the structure itself to the surrounding hills and vales. This is a place to relax and be in the moment, whilst being at one with nature. We believe that once you've experienced the fresh air, the evenings sat on the deck watching the red kites swooping overhead, and the resplendent, restful night's sleep, you won't want to leave.

Living Room Treehouse
Living Room Treehouse, Machynlleth, POWYS
If you have ever dreamed of living in a treehouse, high up in the treetops, a living-room treehouse holiday is for you.
At Living Room, they have six Treehouses, each as unique as the trees in which they are built. They are nestled in a hidden valley, in the heart of the Welsh mountains ... close to the sea and to the end of the hippy trail. Built with care, to blend seamlessly with the beautiful woodlands - a world away from the pressures of modern life. Cosy wood-burning stoves, flickering candles, fast flowing streams, wobbly bridges, whirling red kites, breathtaking walks and your own gorgeous tree-top home.
The Treehouses have a magic all of their own: state-of-the-art structures, blending beautifully into the landscape, high in the tree canopy. Each is located in its own natural environment and is cosy and highly insulated, there’s a woodburning stove which heats the treehouse beautifully; it also heats the water that falls from the spring water shower - so it’s lovely to live in all year round!
There is no electricity at Treehouse; with lanterns, tea lights and lamps, nights at Treehouse are romantic and peaceful.
Brondel Glamping
BRONDE
Brondel Glamping
BRONDEL GLAMPING
You can leave the alarm clock at home if you’re heading for a stay at Brondel Glamping. It’s because the birdsong at dawn can be, described as: “a bit full on”. If that sounds like bliss, book a stay.
The birdsong and visiting bats, red kites and hares make it ideal for nature lovers but it’s got wider appeal too. Tucked away on a smallholding in mid-Wales, it’s the perfect place for a retreat or a quiet family holiday. Readers, writers and romantics will be content to gaze at the valley views or sit by the on-site pond. Walkers can stroll a mile-and-a-half in either direction to find a pub or explore the 23-acre site to meet chickens, ducks and sheep. But it’s not all sleepy pursuits. This is Wales after all – the adventure capital of the UK with the Cambrian mountains to climb, bike trails to conquer and that stunning coastal path within reach at Aberystwyth.
