CERIDWEN CENTRE Glamping Wales

Glamping Wales

Welcome to Ceridwen Glamping in forty organic acres on Penybanc Farm in the heart of rural West Wales. We’re spoilt for views and spoilt for sunsets here, but the best feeling is turning into the lane at the top after a trip away and seeing the fields spread out in front of us. There’s something magical about Ceridwen, (named over twenty years ago after a character in Celtic mythology), but there’s something pretty special about the farm too. Bring torches; look up at the stars; start to unwind into a different pace of life. Some visitors come to relax, chat, walk, eat, drink and take it easy; others use the farm as a comfortable base from which to explore – we’re only twelve miles from the Cardigan Bay coastline but there are plenty of inland treasures in the Teifi Valley too.

There’s a choice of glamping accommodation for guests including The Yurts, (four 16ft yurts & one 18ft), The Eco Pod – ‘Caban Bach’, The Double Decker Bus, The Hopshack and Eco Camping spaces are also available.

For larger groups we have Ceridwen sleeping up to 19 (Visit Wales 4 star rated) and up to 4 B&B bedrooms in Penybanc Farmhouse and The Byre. Accommodation may be booked singly or in combination for larger groups, retreats, reunions and celebrations, (including weddings). Bookings can be on a self-catering, catered or part-catered basis. Our much-complimented catering includes includes home-made bread, cakes and preserves, and can be adapted for all diets. Self-catering holiday guests can buy fresh veg, preserves & our frozen meals to pop in the oven. We have a shop, a bar, games & regular wood-fired pizza nights. And for those seeking to add another layer of relaxation to their stay, we also have a private wood fired Hot Tub with views of an adjacent valley, readily available for guests, subject to availability.

Next to the bus is the ‘Bus Stop’ – a quirky shower block, with an extra loo and two showers (one with a view to die for!
