Go Eco Glamping

There's something ironic about the UK glamping scene. Corrugated iron boxes get rebranded as ‘romantic shepherd’s huts’, Native American-style tipi’s are manufactured in Totnes, and safari tent stays are available where the closest thing you'll get to wildlife is a hedgehog. But, for Brits who love a posh pitch, you can find something slightly more special at Go Eco Glamping in Ceredigion, where a genuine Mongolian-made yurt (or ger as the Mongols call them) creates a tranquil space to holiday in a quiet corner Mid Wales.

Unusually for a glampsite, this one’s adults-only. If that sounds a little X-rated, fear not, Go Eco Glamping – home to just the one yurt, ensuring space and privacy – is as wholesome as they come. Step inside, and a sumptuous four-poster, king-sized bed dominates the yurt, insulated tightly in sheep's wool. Antique furniture lines the periphery, there’s wood burner to keep you toasty, a comfy sofa to snuggle up on in front of the fire, and criss-crossed walls with a magnificent central crown wheel that lets the light flood in.

Perhaps the real key to the site's appeal, though, is the facilities on offer. Sitting adjacent to the yurt in a private shepherd's hut is a cute kitchen with plenty of cooking equipment. On the other side: a bathroom kitted out with a walk-in shower and (hallelujah!) quality towels, bathrobes and slippers. But there's more. Step out onto the deck and you'll find the grand attraction – your very own wood-fired hot tub. There’s something deeply satisfying about this sort of off-grid getaway, and owners Terresa and Chris have excelled in creating an eco-conscious abode without scrimping on luxury and comfort.

As for days out, Terresa and Chris can point you to the region's best walks (the Ceredigion Coast Path is a good start), or you can visit Aberaeron and New Quay – two pretty harbour towns worth exploring, where you can also take a boat to go dolphin-spotting. Not that there's any obligation to attempt the highly adventurous. Most guests like to relax in their slice of authentic Mongolian luxury as Red kites and buzzards swoop so low you can count their feathers.
