Dan Y Ser Glamping Under The Stars
A working sheep farm at 1, 200ft in mid Wales, built around one obsession: getting you under the darkest skies in the area.
Dan Y Ser sits on a working farm three miles from Llanidloes, high enough that the valley opens below you and the horizon holds in every direction. The site runs a small number of glamping units alongside tent and motorhome pitches in a wildflower meadow, so it never tips into pod-park territory. The headline feature is the sky: 360-degree transparent roof panels on the glamping units are there for one reason, and on a clear night in mid Wales they deliver.
The bell tent is the most characterful unit, with a proper bed, a well-stocked covered outdoor kitchen, and an eco toilet that reviewers describe as no bother. Each unit has its own hot tub, and the owner is present enough to pop over and say hello without hovering. Public footpaths run through and around the farm for those who want a morning walk before breakfast.
This is an adults-only site (no children), and dogs are welcome. Pubs and cafes in Llanidloes are within easy reach for evenings out, but the site is self-contained enough that most guests find they stay put.
Before you book
