Details checked 28 August 2026 Β· source: Google Places Waun Fach Retreat in Crickhowell takes tents and glamping within an International Dark Sky Reserve at the foot of the Black Mountains in the Brecon Beacons. ## About Waun Fach Retreat At the foot of Waun Fach, the highest peak in the Black Mountains, this solar-powered shepherd's hut occupies a truly remote corner of the Brecon Beacons National Park. Set within an International Dark Sky Reserve, it comes with a telescope for stargazing and a wood-fired hot tub for soaking under those famously clear night skies. A public footpath runs through the farm, connecting directly to mountain trails where splendid views reward the effort. Inside, you'll find a kingsize bed, gas stove, and private composting toilet and shower – just bring your own bedding and towels. The firepit provides cooking fuel and evening atmosphere, while complete privacy means the only distractions are passing wildlife. Georgian Crickhowell, with its Grade I-listed castle and independent high street, sits 20 minutes' drive away, and the Sugar Loaf is reachable in 35 minutes. Horse riders can arrange to bring their mounts, using the farm's bridleway that joins the Waun Fach trail. With excellent walks, lakes, and climbing all close by, outdoorsy types will find themselves in their element at this peaceful retreat. ## What's nearby - Tal-y-maes Bridge 450m away Distances as the crow flies, via Google ## Can I bring...? β›Ί Tent pitches βœ“ Yes 🚐 Caravans welcome βœ• No 🚌 Motorhomes welcome βœ• No ✨ Glamping available βœ“ Yes πŸ›– Lodges & statics βœ“ Yes ## Facilities 🚿 Hot showers βœ“ πŸ“Ά Free WiFi βœ• 🏊 Swimming pool βœ• πŸ›’ Onsite shop βœ• 🎠 Children's play area βœ• πŸ– BBQs allowed βœ• πŸ”₯ Campfires allowed βœ• 🧺 Laundry βœ• 🎣 Fishing βœ• πŸ› Hot tub βœ• β™Ώ Accessible facilities βœ• πŸ…ΏοΈ Hardstanding pitches βœ• 🍽️ Bar/restaurant on site βœ• Car parking by pitch/unit Composting toilet Ice pack freezing Shower available Washing-up area Family friendly Barbecues allowed Campfires allowed No dogs allowed Lake and/or mountain Peaceful Remote location Spectacular scenery Walkers' paradise Wild camping Wildlife haven ## Takeaway & food delivery Handy if you fancy a night off cooking β€” here's what delivers near this site. ### πŸ₯‘ Just Eat β€” 2 takeaways deliver to this postcode (NP8 1SY) Frydays Fish Bar β˜… 5.0 Β· Fish & Chips, Burgers Bay Leaf Abergavenny β˜… 5.0 Β· Indian, Bangladeshi Checked 26 Aug 2026 β€” always confirm on [justeat.co.uk](https://www.just-eat.co.uk/) before ordering, as coverage can change. ## Nearest supermarkets Handy if you're self-catering or need to stock up on arrival. - Co-op 6.7 miles - Morrisons, Abergavenny 8.6 miles - Aldi, Abergavenny 8.9 miles - Lidl, Brynmawr 9.3 miles - Asda, Brynmawr 9.4 miles - Tesco, Ebbw Vale 10.4 miles - Sainsbury's, Newport 18.7 miles Straight-line distances β€” the drive will be longer.
