If you are looking for a holiday where you can relax, rejuvenate and enjoy the great outdoors, then the gorgeous Offa’s Dyke Retreat in Herefordshire is quite possibly the place you’ve been looking for. Nestled in the countryside between Wales and England, in the small village of Longtown, with views over the Black Mountains and the Brecon Beacons National Park, you couldn’t find a more lovely place to get away from everything and recharge the old batteries. Offa’s Dyke Retreat has been created lovingly with only six boutique shepherds huts and two luxury log pods available for families, couples, friends….whoever you want to share your holiday with. They want you to “Come and Explore the Outdoor,” and here they make it wonderfully easy to do so!
The small but beautifully formed log pods sleep two people on a futon bed with bedding and towels included and have a TV, kettle and hairdryer. They are set within their own private area and have a parking space, communal shower block and BBQ. The slightly larger shepherds' huts are beautifully converted railway carriages, each set in its own private fenced garden and sleep three to four people very comfortably. They also have a TV, electricity, beds and bedding and a private parking space. Most of the huts also have an exclusive bathroom and kitchenette and three of them have their own hot tub. Outdoors there is a firepit, a picnic bench and outdoor BBQ. A big gang - up to 25 people - can hire the whole site exclusively; log pods, hot tubs, huts and all, for a group gathering or family get together.
The location of Offa’s Dyke Retreat is absolutely awesome. Just a few miles from the Welsh border, the glamping site is right on the edge of the Brecon Beacons, where you are just a stone’s throw away from some of the most stunning walks, cycle rides, canoeing, caving and exploring to be done in the UK. With vast green open spaces and views for miles, walks here are breathtaking. There are a range of routes, depending on abilities, plus loads of trails for cycling and mountain biking if you’ve brought your bike. The Brecon Beacons is also one of the most exciting parts of the country for caving, and you can explore this extraordinary subterranean world alongside one of the expert guides. If the full caving experience sounds too wild, then the stunning Dan yr Ogof Showcaves offer the chance to explore the caves and rock formations in slightly less intense circumstances!
Away from the National Park and for something completely different, make it a holiday to remember and head down the road to The Viking Games; release your inner warrior and have a go at some traditional viking inspired activities like axe throwing, archery, bullrings and loads more. They also run (less Viking inspired) paintballing sessions. Less than a mile away from the glamping site is the excellent Longtown activity centre, where you can have a go at all sorts of activities such as gorge walking, high ropes, kayaking and climbing.
Offa’s Dyke Retreat offers not just a luxury glamping experience in the heart of beautiful countryside, but it gives you the chance to have a real holiday with a difference; an outdoor adventure full of exhilarating activities, challenges, trying new things and experiencing the best of outdoor living. And if a peaceful, relaxing hideaway is what you want, then this is the perfect place to unwind, get away from it all and take life at a slower pace - no adrenaline sports necessary. A lovely spot with lots to do in an absolutely gorgeous part of the country.
