Heron is one of 4 identical Isabella Time Out Tents situated on Cae Llwyn Lodges Holiday site in Nantmel, Near Rhayader.

Something a little different for those who love to go camping but want to take the work and stress out of it. Here we have this Unique Glamping Tent fully furnished to sleep 5 guests with an optional extra of the sofa bed for an extra 2 guests on the double sofa bed.

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
