A luxurious glamping retreat perfect for families, within verdant farmland surroundings and close to the well-known cycling hub of Talybont-on-Usk, the beautiful River Usk and the Talybont Reservoir.

Get back to nature with this fantastic canvas safari lodge in the Brecon Beacons National Park. Set on a working farm, it is surrounded by wonderful countryside, canal and riverside walks yet just 6.5 miles from the bustling market town of Brecon. Whether you’re nestled beside the roaring wood burner, dining alfresco on the veranda or watching the stars from the wood-fired hot tub, this inside-outside retreat promises memorable getaways for families and friends.

Inside, find a welcoming open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with all the comforts of home. Prepare meals in the timber kitchen area before dining at the retro farmhouse-style table. Afterwards, fire up the wood burner and hunker down under this cosy canvas for an evening of games with the family. As night falls, choose between a queen-sized bedroom, a twin room or climb the ladder into the unique cabin bed area. Stoke up the wood-fired hot tub in the morning and by the evening you will have the perfect place to relax and unwind while planning the following day’s activities. Guests are also welcome to roam the working farm, take out a rowing boat on the pond or even head in for a dip.

Surrounded by picturesque farmland, this glamping retreat is perfect for families of outdoor lovers. Follow a 7.5-mile section of the Taff Trail from the Talybont Reservoir to the bustling market town of Brecon. Here you will find a good selection of independent shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs, while closer to home, Talybont-on-Usk (0.5 miles) offers a choice of pubs and a small shop. Take to the water by hiring a canoe or taking an organised trip along a stretch of the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal, or you could drive 6.5 miles to walk up to the beautiful Blaen-y-Glyn waterfalls.

We absolutely loved our time in Dove lodge. The weather was also fantastic which helped. But even still, the children were able to run free in the field, make friends and play games with the children in the neighbouring lodges. The lodge had all items we needed and the hot tub was an added luxury. We recommend lighting the hot tub straight away as Read moreit can take several hours to warm up, but its well worth the wait!!

Dove Lodge at Gilestone Farm is an amazing glamping experience. We are a family of 5 with a 10, 8 and 2 year old. We found the tent to be absolutely spotless and it had everything we needed. It was incredibly cosy and welcoming. Even though we had some wild weather nights (very windy & rainy), we still had a fantastic time.
