Camping on a Welsh Farm

Gilfach translates from Welsh as a nook or hideaway, and this farm is exactly that. Tucked into a steep-sided valley, surrounded by 60 acres of open hillside, it is home to horses, sheep and farm dogs.

This is not a commercial campsite. It is a working farm that welcomes visitors, and you will feel the difference.
Well-behaved dogs are warmly welcome. There is plenty of open space for four-legged explorers, and the farm animals add to the experience.

  • Dog friendly with no additional charges
  • Open spaces ideal for dogs and families
  • Horses, seasonal sheep and farm dogs on site
  • Peaceful rural setting with genuine character

Holiday Accommodation in the Brecon Beacons

Gilfach Farm Holiday Accommodation

Gilfach translates from the Welsh as ‘nook’ or ‘hideaway’. This perfectly describes our 60 acre farm, tucked away in a steep sided valley yet only a 5 min drive from the A40. The farm dates back four hundred years and parts of the original 400 year old stone barn have been converted into holiday accommodation (the cottage). The farm is home to horses, dogs and sheep, with the additional surprise from time to time; as well as our treasured native flora and fauna.

Situated just north of the Brecon Beacons National Park, Gilfach is a perfect base to explore the great outdoors from or hunker down and enjoy the peace and quiet of our little “hideaway”.

We have three self-catering holiday accommodations available on the farm, each entirely self-contained and distinct from each other;
