Description

Spend an unconventional two nights in a traditional tepee. Drive through beautiful Welsh countryside en route to a charming tepee, ready-pitched in a secluded spot chosen for natural beauty and a sense of romance. Each tepee features a recently-installed outdoor wood-fired bath. Simply light the fire in the stove below and enjoy a blissful hot soak in the sunshine, or perhaps beneath the stars. During your stay you will both receive a soul reviving reiki massage, along with a twilight meditation session. Equipped with a wood-burning stove, cooking apparatus, sheepskin rugs and a double bed, your tepee makes for the perfect alternative break. There’s plenty of information about local walks and places to eat in the welcome pack in the tepee.

Availability: You can book your break to start on a Monday, Wednesday or Friday from March to November. Summer weekends are especially popular and can book months in advance, please book early to avoid disappointment. Weather: This experience is not weather dependent. Your teepee is heated with a wood-burning stove and will be warm, but please bear in mind the vagaries of the Welsh weather and prepare accordingly. Duration: Check in between 4pm and 5pm on day one. Check out by 11am on day three. Numbers On Day: This large site contains just three teepees and two yurts, each within a different area for complete seclusion.
