It could of been a little cleaner ,but understand as it’s dog friendly hence finding dog hairs on sofa etc.

Location was lovely

Our bell tent had a double bed and two twin beds in boxes on the ground with a coarse carpet (perhaps woven hemp) underneath. So was bit cluttered as we only needed the double bed. Linens and two comforters were provided and were fine for cool nights. We were told to bring towels and we should have also brought bathmats as the mats in the shower stalls were mostly soaked (communal). The showers did have warm water, but were on a push button timer giving about 10 second per push. The facilities in the bell tent field generally reminded me of summer camps I had attended growing up. My wife and I were a bit old to enjoy it! We saw the wash house for the Glamping tents. So keep in mind for this establishment that bell tents are really almost like real camping with a bed (not Glamping), whereas the Glamping looks more like a a detached hotel room with a bbq and heat, etc. So likely a totally different experience. Might try this next time around!

This site has the best price for a bell tend near Hay Festival, which is a book festival that runs 2 weeks annually in Hay on Wye, Wales. Accommodations for Hay Festival in town are challenging and costly for any category, so this was the best deal with 2 months lead time. The bell tent was clean and dry and we managed to sleep well with a 2x comforters despite 10oC nighttime temps with wind and rain during our 4 night stay, which is likely typical for May. There were about 6 bell tents that were well spread out on a farm field with a gate. There were individual huts with toilets 2x male and 2x female, showers (4x unisex) and a fully equipped came kitchen with a propane stove and plenty of utensils, pots and pans, and a fridge we could use. We were using the site to access the Hay Festival in Hay on Wye, and it was about 20 min on a single track farm road to get to the site. This is less of a problem than it sounds as there was virtually no traffic on the access road. We only had one point where we needed to back up to get to a wider spot to let a truck pass. Similar bell tent facilities were available within walking distance of the Hay Festival. The advantage of the Drover's Rest is that it was a quiet, uncrowded site. The farm was charming, with the most friendly farm cat we ever met, and equally friendly ponies who came over to check us out as we walked to a from the field with the tents. Also Llamas and runner ducks from more of a distance. So it's quite a nice site and it might use it again, but might try to do it in time to try out the proper Glamping!

We stayed in the bell tents which were very noisy due to the high winds. Very comfortable bed linen and snug.

We liked the friendly and relaxed owners and mixing in with other international guests and staff. The location was beautiful and the wandering dogs, ducks and wild ponies heightened every walk through the farm which is beautifully laid out The braai on Saturday night is a treat.

a bit narrow to drive to the farm, a bit pricey, maybe because of the festival

close to the nature. chance to feed and understand various kinds of animals in the farm.

Could have done with more clothes hooks - for coats downstairs and clothes in the bedrooms. Heating was a bit eratic

Location was lovely. House was well equipped and comfortable

Nothing to add here

Beautiful rural setting, stunning landscape and buildings that look like that have stories to tell. Stayed in Shepherd Shack, just gorgeous

There was no heating, so we found it a little chilly. A wooden spoon would have been handy to stir porridge. The toilet in the double bedroom didn’t flush as the cistern wouldn’t fill up.

Lovely cottage in a remote and quiet location.

We loved contact with animals. Great place to rest and relax.

What a fantastic last-minute getaway this was! The glamping site, complete with alpacas, the hospitality, and the food, were all exceptional. We will definitely be back again. Thank you! ❤️

Could not fault anything

We loved this little hidden gem of a place. The staff were wonderful. We got a free guided tour to feed the animals. Which was quite soothing.It's a lovely place to just chill. The scenery is wonderful. Even saw a red kite sweeping quite low . Very good value for money

There was nothing we didn’t like. The only thing I would add is a small mirror in the tents for those vain people like me who want to check how they look before venturing out into the open 😊

Stunning location, lovely safari tents with comfortable beds (and electric blankets!), gorgeous duvets and Welsh wool throws, indoor and outdoor sofas, a wood burner and private bathrooms with loads of hot water. We loved the bar and seating area by the barn, and went to do a ‘secret campfire’ one night in the woods, complete with marshmallows and cookies for smores, which was perfect. The owners and staff are all super friendly and it is the perfect distance from Hay-on-Wye if you come for the festival, or for long dog walks and hiking in the beautiful Brecon hills.

What a beautiful place

Absolutely nothing, we could not fault it.

We stayed in the safari tents which were incredibly clean and beautifully styled. The beds were so comfy and the log burner was a fantastic touch. You get individual shower rooms which made the whole “camping” experience so much easier! The food and bar on Wednesday was wonderful and super reasonably priced and Paul, Kesri and Marta were so friendly and welcoming. The whole family were super attentive and so kind to our one year old. The farm tour was so much fun, Marta was incredibly knowledgeable and we loved feeding the animals!

Idyllic farm setting to unwind and relax. Friendly and helpful host. Option of gorgeous food and a drinks bar onsite. The Cart cottage was lovely and well appointed. The safari tents also look amazing. I’m sure we will be back.
