Ty Ffin

Think camping but with a WOW factor! Ty Ffin is designed to bring back the simpler way of living, to get yourself off-grid and immerse yourself in surrounding nature to reset your soul. Put down the phone, light camp fires, swing in hammocks, take walks or hikes, play board games, read books, visit pretty local towns and come back to your own luxury campsite where everything is catered for so all you need to bring is clothes, food and the dog!
Ty Ffin is a truly unique and luxury off-grid glamping experience for those who love the camping life and want to get back to nature with the simpler way of living, but enjoy a little bit of luxury at the same time. You'll need wellies and gratitude, let this place work it's magic on you by just 'being'.

Ty Ffin compromises of two small wooden cabins joined by decking to make one beautiful Welsh countryside getaway with huge windows boasting 180 degree views of uninterrupted green valley lushness with an added bonus of pink sunrise and sunset skies year round and the most starry night sky you'll ever set eyes on.

Ty Ffin is off-grid so there are NO mains electric but do not fear, I have designed this cabin with liveability in mind so it has battery/remote operated lighting indoors, solar lighting outdoors, portable gas heaters to keep you warm, a hygienic flush toilet, a hot gas-powered shower and a whole host of extras to make it feel like a home away from home. I encourage a digital detox to switch off from 'media life' but there is 4g here and I recommend bringing portable chargers if you want to keep the phone battery topped up. Wellies are also a good idea as the cabin is based on a farm and the sheep love to make a bit of mud! Cosy warm clothing at night in the winter is also advised but you will also have brushed cotton bedding, throws and hot water bottles to get extra snug :)

Ty Ffin set up - the smaller cabin is for the bedroom with a double bed, orthapeadic mattress, brushed cotton sheets, fresh towels, books, heating, remote controlled lighting and a vanity area with clothes hanging storage. The larger cabin is for the kitchen, dining and lounge area; this has a fully stocked kitchen, breakfast bar, double portable gas stove with grill/hot plate for cooking (basically you can make anything, apart from what you would put in an oven - pizza, etc), a large cool box with icepacks as a fridge alternative to keep all your food fresh, tea, coffee, sugar, sweetners, oat milk, a cafetierre, bottled drinking water, a large gas heater, two types of remote controlled lighting and all the cook and tablewear you need for your stay. The lounge has a large cuddle sofa (which you can turn to face whichever view you like!), an array of books, maps, games, candles, throws and also a dog bed and bowl set should you want to bring a pooch too (sadly only one dog allowed here though!).

Behind the cabins sits a separate unit with an outdoor heated gas shower room with toiletries and towel pegs, a WC room with a hygenic camping toilet with flush and vanity area, a boot room for luggage and extra hanging space, a bbq in the summer months, and an outdoor washing up area too; this area is the glamping side of things - you'll be filling up the portable sink with hot water from the shower to wash up (cleaning equipment/products are provided) and there is a drying rack also. Theres sensor lighting for those late night toilet runs and also torches provided, both toilet and shower room have their own touch lights too.

Outside of the main cabins you'll find two decking areas with solar lighting at night along with super cosy camping chairs, an outdoor firepit (including logs, kindling, firelighters, etc), a hammock, an outdoor table/bench area for eating and the whole place has a picket fence surrounding it - perfect for keeping your dog in and our sheep out... Did i mention it was a working farm? Sheep often live in the surrounding fields but don't let that put the doggy owners off - it's a brilliant and very calm way to introduce your dogs to other animals and the fence is fully secure so your dogs can roam free in the wrap around garden without feeling too constrained - no escapees so far! If there are sheep in the field and you venture out with your dog, a lead is necessary; if there aren't any sheep, then your garden becomes huge as the field is privately owned so your dog can run as free as they like. There is also a river with a beached area at the bottom of the field too!

(Thank you for reading this far- there's more, stay with me!)

Although Ty Ffin is very well equipped and decorated to a high standard, this stay is a glamping off-grid cabin experience so be prepared to get your hands (but mainly wellies) dirty. I've tried my best to build an experience, not just a stay, where you get indoor luxury but also outdoor back to basics camping humbleness, a real balance of a luxury and simplicity to bring gratitude to the forefront.

This place is also perfect for those who love hiking, canoeing/paddle boarding, cute little towns/shopping, books, moutains/waterfalls and food! Ty Ffin is sitauted 10 minutes from the famous book town of Hay on wye (voted prettiest town in Wales) which is perfect for shopping, eating amazing food and much more! Then 30 minutes from Ty Ffin are the Brecon Beacons/ Bannau Brycheiniog for all your mountain/lake/waterfall dreams. It's also 10 minutes from the River Wye to canoe/kayak/paddleboard (and the smaller River Arrow is just across the field from Ty Ffin too with a small beached area perfect for picnics and paddling. It is close to so many amazing places to eat (all in the welcome book when you check in!) and situated right on the edge of the famous Offas Dyke Path - you can access the footpath to it directly in front of Ty Ffin!

There's probably so much more to say but i might overload you! The rest is all in the welcome book when you arrive here and I am always available for recommendations/questions/queries on everything in the area, trust me i've done it all!

I hope you love it here and fully embrace this welsh border luxury cabin glamping experience and leave feeling reset, restored and with a happy soul :)
