Glamping near Hay-on-Wye

The world-renowned book town isn’t just a book-capital for literary lovers and festival goers, it’s also perched in the heart of the Wye Valley, one of the most breathtakingly beautiful parts of the UK. You could be browsing bookshops after breakfast, canoeing down the river at lunchtime and hiking in the Brecon Beacons in the afternoon sun. In other words, you’ve found the triple threat of words, water and walks. Our glamping places are all within 7 miles of Hay-on-Wye so you can nip over for a new novel to read on the deck whenever your pile of reading material starts to run low.

Why choose glamping in Powys?

The rich, rolling landscape of Powys is a paradise for nature lovers who want to scamper in the mountains, skim stones across the river and spot wildlife in the woods. A glamping holiday means there’s no need to tear yourself away from the natural beauty at the end of each day. It’s all around you as you stargaze from the hot tub, roast marshmallows over the firepit, sway in the hammock and BBQ al fresco. We inspect and stay overnight at every one of our glamping spaces so you can rest assured that the place you book meets our high standards.
