Pwllyn Farm Camping

Encouraged by the enthusiasm of our wonderful guests we converted what was once the cowshed (or byre) into self-catering accommodation in the idyllic Brecon Beacons setting. This two-bedroom cottage is perfect for one or two couples or a family/group of four/five, and as both bedrooms are equal in size and stature, there is no need to quibble over who gets the best one!

This tastefully furnished two-master-bedroomed stone dwelling with solid oak beams throughout and flagstone floor belies its lowly beginnings. It provides an open plan living area with double height sitting room complemented by French windows looking out towards Pen y Fan and the Brecon Beacons.

A wood-burning stove ensures the place is warm and cosy should the weather be inclement with comfy seating to relax and enjoy the views, the company and the conversation. The dining area enables you to enjoy romantic meals prepared in the well-equipped kitchen; or you might choose to come back from a day out on the hills to a hearty stew that has been cooking in the oven on the wood burning stove.

£20 payment per dog per stay is made to owner on arrival.

The Shepherd’s hut was built to our specification. We wanted to ensure that it could accommodate a full-length bed for maximum comfort (who wants to sleep crunched up unless you’re a dormouse?) as well as a wet room equipped with a shower, basin and an upmarket self-composting loo.

A drop-leaf oak table was fitted under the triple windows to maximize working space (although it is difficult to remain focused on tasks when the view is of the beckoning Brecon Beacons, but it’s great for somewhere to spread out the weekend papers). The attention to detail is wonderful with oak floorboards, underfloor central heating (even in the wet room), sheep’s wool insulation in the walls and a wood burning stove for good measure.

Even the ironmongery was sourced and made locally. Once built, it was finally winched into place (quite a feat of engineering in itself) so that the largest window looks out towards the aforementioned Brecon Beacons, the window over the bed looks up across the field towards a majestic oak whilst the view from the stable door is of Hay Bluff and the Black Mountains. Amanda set to with her sewing machine to make the soft furnishings as well as upholstering the chairs. She then rummaged around in the barn and in local shops to find the remaining pieces to give the hut its finishing touches.

Outside there is your own private hot tub to soak away the aches and pains of the day. You can relax on the swing seat on the decking and enjoy the panoramic views whilst supper cooks in the pizza oven or BBQ. As dusk melts into night you can marvel at the stars in the Dark Sky Reserve whilst toasting marshmallows over the open fire.

Each morning Amanda will bring a continental breakfast hamper to your door.

Tucked away in the upper corner of the field, Seren Bach (meaning Little Star in Welsh) is the new addition to the glamping pods at Argoed Barns. This 7m diameter luxury camping pod still has a huge 5m wide window to capitalise on the stunning views and light yet has the added benefit of a viewing window in the apex through which to admire the night sky for which the Brecon Beacons has justly earned its Dark Sky Reserve status. As tastefully and thoughtfully designed as Seren Mawr, this is another perfect dog friendly hideaway for a special romantic break or for those needing a digital detox.

Like its sister, it is furnished with a brass bed for a sumptuous night’s sleep in crisp cotton bedding on a goose down topper. A wood burning stove complements the cosy atmosphere with a sofa to cwtch up on and a dining area to enjoy the meals created in the well-equipped kitchen. In Seren Bach you don’t even have to pop outside to do the washing up as the sink has been incorporated within the kitchen area. The insulated floor is scattered with rugs and animal skins to enhance that decadent feel.

Lighting is provided by solar powered lanterns (feel free to bring your own candles too), creating a romantic mood. Whilst supper is cooking, you may wish to peruse a book, play a board or card game; perhaps pore over a map and guide books to plan your itinerary for the next day. There’s even a wind-up radio so that you can listen to the weather forecast or your favourite program.

£20 payment per dog per stay is made to owner on arrival.

This is the perfect place to escape from it all for a special romantic break. It is equipped with a brass bed for a restful night’s sleep in crisp cotton bedding on a goose down topper.

A wood burning stove adds to the cosy atmosphere with armchairs to relax in and a dining area to enjoy the meals created in the well-equipped kitchen. Rugs and animal skins litter the floor and feel sumptuous underfoot. Lighting is provided by lanterns, creating a romantic mood.

Tucked away in opposite corners of the field, you will find our two luxury camping pods with their own private facilities. Seren Bach (meaning Little Star in Welsh) and Seren Mawr (Big Star) both have a huge 5m wide window to capitalise on the breathtaking views. There is nothing better than returning at the end of a day in the hills to relax with a glass of bubbly in your own hot tub and admire the night sky for which the Brecon Beacons has justly earned its Dark Sky Reserve status. These are perfect (dog friendly) hideaways for a special romantic break or for those needing a digital detox.
