Matilda's Field Forest Glamping

Matilda's Field sits on a 6-acre smallholding inside the 6,000-acre Dyfnant Forest, on the edge of Snowdonia National Park. There are two safari tents on site: Brig Y Bryn, which sleeps up to six, and Canol Y Cae, which sleeps up to four and suits a family of two adults and two children. Both have private bathroom facilities and their own outdoor space looking onto forest.

The setting is about as quiet as it gets in Wales. No traffic lights, no light pollution, and forest tracks leading straight from the door through the Rainbow Trails, open to walkers, cyclists and horse riders. A wildlife pond on site draws birds, and the surrounding woodland brings red kites, buzzards, owls, foxes and badgers. Dogs and horses are both welcome, which makes this a workable base for people travelling with animals as well as couples and families.

Lake Vyrnwy, with its stone dam built in the 1880s, is five miles away and makes an easy day out for a walk or cycle around the reservoir. Evenings here are built around the dark sky: clear nights bring a full view of the stars, and campfires are part of the routine for guests who stay.

Booking runs directly through the Matilda's Field website or by phone. The listing does not state nightly rates, a minimum stay, or set check-in hours, so confirm those details with the site before planning a trip.
