    The tent was adorable, lovely little features. Hot water bottles came in very handy. Didn’t expect a kettle or microwave available, handy too. Perfect location for walking, didn’t need to drive all weekend

    Utilities very clean and well-organised, but may well need expanding as the site becomes increasingly popular.

    Fantastic location - very near to amenities through a lovely countryside walk. Very well run and friendly.

    Everything was spot on. I think they may be missing a trick by not having a little shop or somewhere that does a bacon cob in a morning on site 😉but that’s definitely not a criticism only a personal note. We brought our own food and ate in the village and it was brilliant!

    We’ve not even left yet and I couldn’t wait to write a review. This is the perfect place to rest and recharge. The location is stunning and close to lovely Knighton. It’s peaceful, it’s clean and the glamping pod is super comfortable! The host is so lovely and the locals think very highly of them too! We could not have wished for anymore from this stay and would recommend coming to everyone.

    Completely out of the host control but there was a train that went by maybe twice a day and was very loud but also really not a problem as it was not frequent :)

    A lovely bell tent with lots of room in a beautiful location! On the border of Wales and England the location provided plenty of opportunity to explore!The interior was lovely and felt very cosy :) The hosts were very friendly and helpful. Facilities were also nice, we would definitely stay again!

    I'd say the only very small thing we struggled with was there is only 3 toilets but we did go on a bank holiday weekend so particularly busy.

    Wow! This property is so beautiful and Roxy (the owner) was so friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the bell tent. So worth the money. The site it's self is in a lovely scenic location with lots of nature and walks all around. The site facilities were so clean and Modern with 3 FREE showers! Also a small kitchen area with places to charge your phones. We will definitely be returning and bringing our friends:)

    The only thing we didn't like was having to pack up to come home. Would definitely recommend this place and we will be back!

    We spent two nights in one of the bell tents. It looked good in the pictures online, but the pictures do not do it justice. The bell tent was superb and the place itself was beautiful. The tranquility was restful and when the sun went down the lovely dark skies meant we could enjoy stargazing. Our little dog loved it too, especially the walk into town along the riverbank. Our hosts were fantastic, nothing was too much trouble.

    The only downside was that the main showers were out of order so there was only one available for everyone to us. No other negatives.

    Loved the site, the bell tents were comfy and exceeded our expectations. The owners were lovely and welcoming.

    we had the bell tent and couldn’t complain for the price we paid area is lively for walks too and only about 15 minutes into the town where there was some lovely pubs for food and drink. toilets and showers really clean and all new. would Definatley go back. all tents really well spaced out between each other and a really quiet campsite woke up to two sheep in the field at one point which was lovely.

    What a fantastic place. Our three nights at Panpwnton passed way too quickly. The site is small but perfectly formed in the most beautiful of locations. Our bell tent was even more wonderful than imagined with an extremely comfy bed and plenty of room for us and our dogs. There was an ample supply of wood available for the fire pit and Roxy offered us any extra that we may have needed. The facilities on the site were clean and well looked after. It was clear that they were in the process of renovating the shower block but an alternative was provided. There was a kettle, microwave, fridge freezer and plenty of powerpoints available for charging of phones. This site was so safe that we amongst others felt happy leaving our phone on charge in the barn whilst we were in our tent. I think this speaks volumes re what an excellent job the host is doing!

    The lack of cooking facilities (e.g. a BBQ or a cooking hob). New showers were being installed but we're not complete for our stay so there was only 1 shower available for everyone on the site to use.

    Location was peaceful and a short, pleasant walk away from the town. The bed was super comfortable! The staff were incredibly welcoming as well.

    There wasn't anything I didn't like but the lights around the tent didn't work but I know now the owners are aware it's an easily fixed problem :)

    I loved the area it was absolutely beautiful and where the tent is the sound of the birds is so lovely, the bed was so comfy and the tent seemed very stable , the town is also very close around a 15 minute walk and its a lovely friendly little town:)

    The tent got very wet at the front we had to use towels to try to soak up the damp. However, We did experience heavy rain. The shower facility was not the best and was dirty however the new showers being built look lovely. There was a bit of mildew over the tent in places and could do with some TLC. It was not very quiet as a public right of way goes right threw the propriety and when the 2 gates slam it was quite noisy, and a lot of people walk threw. I think maybe this should have been stated in the description more clearly as we wanted a peaceful getaway but we had people looking in the tent from the tracks. Fine if you just want to get your head down and do all the lovely walks, but as a romantic getaway, I don't think it's peacefully enough for me. I think a description about accessibility would be fab too for people who are disabled/mobility issues as we like to camp too!

    The staff were lovely and friendly, the new toilets were nice. The kitchenette with microwave and kettle was handy. The bed was lovely and comfortable

    We 'splashed out' a bit and booked the bell tent for our getaway... sadly we were very disappointed. Upon arrival we were expecting electric hookup as the advert said that the tent had a "kettle, toaster and microwave". We called Roxy to clarify and she said that these were shared facilities in the 'kitchen area'. I explained that on Booking.com these are listed as in the tent and Roxy insisted that I was wrong. So we left it and I apologised to my other half, not wanted to cause trouble and risk having to find somewhere else. For clarification I have a screenshot where these are listed as in the tent. The tent itself is cute but smaller than it appears in the pictures. The rugs were filthy and the carpet mouldy. We shook the rugs off and made the most of it. Our mattress was hugely uncomfortable with springs jabbing us in the night and we rolled inwards and had to keep shifting. We tried sleeping on the other side but with no luck! The firepit was included but we had no newspaper/firelighters/matches etc so it was difficult to get going and we gave up. The campsite itself has one working shower for everyone staying (prepare to wait) and toilets that a) ran out of loo roll far too quickly, and b) we saw staff members 'cleaning' with a wet rag and water - no spray... The shower is hot but there is visible mould in the corregated roof. There are two kitchen areas: one had a full fridge and hot taps and two sinks, a kettle and a microwave. The other had a good fridge, kettle and microwave. The toaster was half broken but overall not bad spaces. This tent was not good value. I would not stay here again and would recommend to others to just book a normal pitch as most tents are bigger than these.

    The shower was hot, the bell tent *looked* cute.

    Not enough showers at present, although I can see more showers are about to be opened, which look absolutely great. So I imagine if I visited in a few weeks, this would not be an issue at all.

    Wonderful bell tent with lovely decor, very comfortable bed, lovely staff and communication from staff
