Overview of The Heron...

The Heron is one of four amazing identical Isabella Time Out Tents located on one an ever popular Glamping site near the idyllic market town of Rhayader. For those that wish to go camping in rural Wales but also still require those necessary home comforts, this really is the stay for you! In fact, some would even call it luxury camping with all that is provided for a truly memorable stay for up to five people with an optional extra charge for an additional two guests on the double sofa bed.

This state of the art Glamping Tent comes complete with a fully equipped kitchenette with a small fridge freezer, electric oven, kettle, toaster & everything else you could need for the chef of the group to feel right at home whipping up a family favourite meal to enjoy in the evening or a picnic ready for that day of exploring the local area.The open plan living area always ensure that all the space is used to its full potential, with a large corner sofa with coffee table in front, this is the perfect area to kick back and relax and enjoy your favourite series on the smart television, this sofa also doubles up as an additional sleeping area.

To the back of the property lies the two bedrooms, one is a upper comfy double bedroom and the second bedroom a triple bunk bed room with a lower double bed and upper single bed.

This Glamping Tent really is home from home and the outside of the property is even more special.. with its own private hot tub this is the perfect place to relax with your favourite glass of bubbly, bliss right? The Heron also has its own outdoor seating for alfresco dining, fire pit for toasting gooey marshmallows & a star gazing hammock to relax on in the sunshine, the perfect place to chill out with a good book whilst listening to the sound of the babbling brook that passes near the property.

These tents do not have their own bathrooms but you have full access to the on site toilet and shower block which is a very short walking distance from the tent.

If you are looking venture out and make the most of exploring the surrounding areas, you can watch the Red Kites fed locally, explore the majestic Elan Valley or enjoy a mosey in the local Gilfach Nature Reserve, there really is endless opportunities to explore.

Please Note: These tents have an Electric Plinth Heater to take the chill but allows you to experience the real meaning of 'Glamping.'

Lovely family stay

We arrived for a 2 day stay 4 adults and 3 children. It was not confined at all, we felt there was just enough room for this many people. We were left with a welcome box which was lovely. The tent is well stocked with everything you would need! The children. LOVED the stargazing hammock and hot tub but also the animals grazing around and the little stream behind us. A 10 min drive into Rhayader and a lovely pub lunch. We also used the pump track which was another great hit for the children. The toilets were warm and clean, although not enough toilet roll provided. A great family stay, would definitely go again.



A little gem!

Came across this site when looking for a last minute short stay with my family. We’ve done glamping pods before but never a tent. We were not disappointed. This place is a g of a find. The hammock and hot tub were family favourites. The living area and kitchen were well equipped and we slept comfortably and soundly. We loved our stay so much that we are going to book to stay again.

We stayed over the Easter Weekend in Heron, this was our second stay and we loved it as much as the first stay, the tent was clean and the little basket with crisps, drink, welsh cakes and marshmallows was a lovely little touch AND the kids loved the Easter egg in the fridge Our dog came with us and the dog bowls and treats for her were fab.
My kids loved watching the lambs, afew times the lambs escaped from the field so they guided them back in which they loved. The hot tub was cleaned daily, and there was everything we needed in the kitchen to cook we made a Sunday roast which was great.
The shower block and toilets were clean at all times!
We did a trip to Elan Valley which we all loved.
We had a great weekend and would highly recommend ☺️

we had a lovely stay here, our trip was cut short due to a bought of flu hitting me. The only thing that let it down was the distance to the toilets in the middle of the night in pouring rain.



Loved the Heron!!

An extremely comfortable and cosy 2 nights stay at the Heron. Although we woke up to a stunning frost in the morning, the tent remained very snug and warm throughout the night. Couldn’t have asked for a nicer short break away; the location, the comfort, the cleanliness, the value for money and not forgetting of course the hot tub and beautiful star gazing hammock! We will certainly be back! Our only criticism was the lack of light guiding the way to the toilet block and outside lighting on the decking area near the hot tub and fire pit.



The perfect getaway

I booked the Heron as the kids and hubby wanted to go camping and there is no way I was sleeping on a damp floor, came across the Heron and it ticked everything… the beds were really comfy, we stayed when it was really wet rained the whole time but we didn’t feel cold or wet once we were cosy in the hot tub and the tent. Even had a message one night to make sure we were warm enough which we were excellent service. I personally was really worried about having to use a toilet block and a very short 20 steps away & so clean. If u like the sound of water to help u get to sleep the heron is for your as the little stream behind is really calming and peaceful. We 100% will be back me hubby and the kids absolutely loved it just want we needed to recharge and spend some quality time together.



We had a relaxing stay in lovely rural location.

The site is well maintained and people on hand are helpful and available. Comfy beds and everything we needed for a family & dog. We travelled to walk, there are a couple of small towns nearby for essentials. Some lovely wildlife. Our children are young 12,11 & 9 so they enjoyed the lake / playground nearby. Because of the sheep you can't let the dog off lead (understandable) There is only 1 dog friendly tent so not a big issue. The showers and toilets were cleaned often and we saw frogs on the way to the bathroom at nights as there is a small stream.



Fantastic mini break!

Fantastic break with the children and dog. As always Claire and the gentlemen go above and beyond. Everything you need is there even down to towels, bedding, small milk and teabags for when you arrive. It's a beautiful break away. The family are full of recommendations for nearby hot spots. Make sure you pick up a box of their eggs because wow!

We've stayed 3 times in heron now and can never fault it. If your someone who hates sharing toilet don't worry as they are spotless.



Amazing for family's first visit to Wales

I had a lovely stay. The tent was very clean and well presented. Lovely little extra touches, providing milk, marshmellows and some chocolate. The sunset views from the hot tub are beautiful and a very peacful location.
Gave a 3 for customer service as there isnt a n/a option. The only interaction I had with owners/staff was a text to comfirm arrival and leaving date. Not a negative, I didnt need anything but had a contact number incase I did.
As it is a dog friendly tent it would have been good if it had a small fence around it so I could have let my dog wonder a little, but as there are lambs wondering about I didnt feel comfortable letting him out without being on a lead incase he approached them, scaring them and probably himself.

The tent could probably do with a new bin, as lid would not stay closed I had to put a cup on the lid. And I think part of the sofa has gone as it sinks a lot lower than the other cushions.



Affordable luxury
