Seithfed Nef - A Seventh Heaven

Clynnogfawr, Gwynedd, Wales

1 acre hosted by Mei M.

'Luxury camping between mountain and sea', Seithfed Nef has views of both. Really, the owners' could use any number of straplines. 'One large bell tent in each field'. Or 'cook, camp and shower in view of Snowdonia'. Or simply, 'spectacular glamping in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. These all being equally exceptional, pertinent selling points. They could write all of the above in Welsh and leave English-speakers to translate, such is their national pride (their first language, and the language they use from day to day is Welsh, they mail out confirmation bookings in Welsh first, then English). Or, they could simply let the stunning pictures on their website do the talking…

Each bell tent is 6m large and situated in its own grassy field. Llwyn Isaf (Lower Hedgerows, the most sheltered and nearest the car park and barn), Cae Ffynnon (Spring Meadow, nearest the facilities), Rhos Uchaf (Upper Moorland, the furthest away) and Cil Rhedyn (Fern Corner, closest to the barn) are kitted out with stellar comfort and guests' privacy in mind. Fresh flowers, designer bedlinen, bedside cabinets and glasses for your welcome drink of bubbles are a few classy touches. Outside, are fire pits for barbeques, picnic tables, coastal sun sets that illuminate Snowdonia with a warm orange glow, and views. Views of the North Wales mountain range, scanning down to the sea, from yonder Caernarfon Bay over to the Wicklow Mountains all the way across the Irish Sea.

Facilities are shared, just remember to whistle as you shower in the outside one. Bunting and mirrors decorate the hut and the windows afford wonderful snapshots of nature, such al fresco showering feels deliciously primitive. As of 2013, this is an adult-only site, mainly for health and safety issues; think ponds, crumbling walls and farm machinery. This is a blessing for anyone not wanting to be woken by infantine woes re the breakfast cereal of choice, or the frayed cries or parents yelling at their offspring to leave the pigs alone. Those pigs provide delicious bacon that the owners sell along with sausages, which for meat-eaters makes breakfast time its own daily nirvana within a (seventh) heaven.

From the host

Seithfed Nef is Welsh for 'a seventh heaven' which we think suits our glamorous camping site to a tee. We offer large, 6m canvas bell tents located in 16 acres of farmland, so peace and quiet is guaranteed, unless of course you take exception to the cuckoo's song or the sound of a trickling stream. The site is located in an area designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in north west Wales. The land is surrounded by stunning scenery where footpaths, beaches, lakes and rivers abound. All in all we offer luxury inside, acres and acres of space outside.The site is located in secluded countryside but only 2 miles from the nearest beach. This is glamping as it should be, not a handful of tents huddled close together in the corner of a traditional caravan or campsite. Here you're in your own meadow with at least 60m, and a hedge, to the next tent. This is proper glaming! We are a husband and wife team who have stayed in many different types of accommodation all over the world. We're also a couple who like the finer things in life. Our aim in setting up our glampsite was to share all those little things with you, the attention to detail that set places apart. As a business we're big enough to compete whilst remaining small enough to care. We feel that being voted one of the 6 Best Glampsites in Britain by RedOnline, ond of the Top 10 by All About You (publishers of Bella, Good Housekeeping, Country Living) and one of the Top 9 places in the world for glamping by USNews Travel is a tribute to that. By the way, we're confident that the views from Seithfed Nef are arguably the best from any glampsite in Britain and that your stay with us will be a topic of conversation for years to come. We look forward to seeing you! OffersDeals are offered on a regular basis - free holidays have even been offered in the past!GROUP BOOKINGS: Exclusive use of the whole site is avalable for as little as £1080 for 3 nights. But hurry, all it takes is one couple to book a date and your chance has gone – we never allow a combination of groups and couples. As a couple you will never be on site at the same time as a single group of four or more.
