## Overview

Free spirits (or those who need to free their spirits a little…) this is the place for you! Tucked away amid the towering mountains of the Brecon Beacons and nestled within twenty two acres of wildflower meadows, Cwmffrwd Farm is an award winning back-to-nature retreat for those looking to relax and reconnect in stunning surroundings. 

Space is what we do here! The secluded nature of Cwmffrwd Farm sets it aside from more densely populated sites ensuring it remains a haven for both wildlife and visitors alike. Tent pitches (7m x 5m levelled areas) are widely spaced apart, with stunning views in the upper half of the camping meadows and accessible on foot only, and van pitches (for small VW/transit vans/roof tents) are spread out along the bottom half of the camping meadow. 

Firewood is available to purchase for £10 cash, and a beautiful wood-fired sauna is also available to book during your stay for £45p/hour (up to four guests) then £10p/extra person. Guests can book when they arrive, or message Pridie ahead of time to arrange. 

Amenities are very simple to minimise impact on the land, with four compost toilets, one washing up area, two flushing toilets and three hot showers. Come expecting a 'wild camping' experience but made a bit easier with toilets, kettle, fridge, freezer, sauna etc! Please also come prepared with bags to take rubbish home as we don't have bins on site.

We have a no vehicles policy on the camping meadows, except those driving to the van pitches. Two grass carparks are provided for tent campers and kit and equipment can be transported using the wheelbarrows provided. Guests walk to their tent / bell tent pitch (distances from 30m to 250m from carpark) so please factor that in when you are packing for your hols! 

There is limited data signal at the farm, so come prepared to disconnect from modern life. Instead, enjoy frolicking in the meadows, paddle in the stream or enjoy a session in our wood-fired sauna!

​Along with the seclusion of each individual pitch, the farm feels like it is tucked away too. It is, however, only 12 minutes drive to picturesque Crickhowell, and 25 minutes to celebrated book town Hay-on-Wye and bustling market town Brecon. It’s best to stock up on food before you arrive, or shop at local supermarkets in Brecon, Abergavenny or the high street in Crickhowell.
