Grove Farm Glamping

Grove Farm provides a secluded bell tent glamping spot in the Monnow Valley, just east of Brecon Beacons, with footpaths leading directly into the Black Mountains. This pop-up site is an ideal spot for ramblers, hikers, and cyclists looking to explore the Welsh border, while also providing a laid-back location for those who want to go camping but with none of the fuss, thanks to its private amenities and simple-but-well-equipped glamping accommodation.

Despite there being just three bell tents on the farm, they're spread across some nine acres of fields, guaranteeing real respite from modern life. That’s exactly why former city-dwellers Emily and Dan moved here too, so they understand the need to retain the peaceful, secluded nature of the place. The bell tents have exactly what you need – along with some things you don’t but will greatly appreciate anyway – so expect a good night’s sleep on high-quality bedding followed by an afternoon nap in the hammock next to your tent. A fire pit and gas burner are provided for cooking up a storm, while each tent has access to its own portable-style loo and a hot shower in the bespoke, freestanding shower trailer. 

You’ll be spoiled for choice with walks, whether it’s the trek to the foot of the towering Black Mountains, the famous long-distance footpath of Offa’s Dyke, or the brief stroll to the local Herefordshire pub the Carpenters Arms. The mountain of Skirrid presents magnificent views in every direction for hikers who wish to traverse it, while there’s even an opportunity for those in the mood for a wild swim; the beauty spot of Keeper’s Pond is a short drive away, a natural infinity pool that’s every bit as peaceful as that sounds. Not that you need travel far. Sometimes a few hours lolling around your tent is just what's required. And the sunset over the Black Mountains is well worth sticking around for.
