One lucky loveEXPLORING reader – and their family or friends – could win a midweek mini-break at this glorious glamping site set in scenic South Wales, kitted out with luxury Persian-style tents. Read on to enter the competition below...
In need of an off-grid escape without sacrificing the comforts of your own home? At Penhein, a boutique glampsite set among Welsh wildflower woodlands and 400 acres of walkable farmland, you'll get the best of both worlds. To celebrate the glampsite reopening for the season on 31 March 2023, we've teamed up with Penhein to offer you a two-night retreat this year.
Live in the lap of luxury inside your five-person Persian 'alachigh' tent, stocked with boutique hotel-quality bedding, Penguin classics and fresh drinking water that comes straight from a nearby natural spring. There's also an en-suite toilet within the tent, so night-time bathroom breaks are a breeze. A short stroll away is a separate block where you can freshen up in underfloor-heated monsoon showers dedicated to your tent.
The rustic-yet-radiant Persian tents are filled with homely touches and little luxuries. You'll love scrunching your toes on luscious Persian-style rugs when you kick off your boots after a long day rollicking around meadows or darting through fields. Bedding down is even better, as you can stargaze through a transparent window directly above your pillow.
The prize
Penhein is offering one lucky reader and up to four other adults (or two adults and up to four children) a stay in an alachigh tent for two nights, as well as an exhilarating bushcraft experience for the group.
The great outdoors
Fancy yourself a survival expert in the making? As part of your stay, one of Penhein's ex-military instructors will take your party into the woods for a three-hour experience you'll never forget: the basics of bushcraft. With sessions tailored to both adults and children, you'll learn critical survival skills, from rustling up a fire with materials found on the forest floor to foraging and prepping nutritious wild food.
You'll also build a rudimentary shelter, protecting you from the elements and teaching you valuable lessons in self-reliance. At the end of it all, you'll reward yourself with a comforting hot chocolate and homemade campfire bread, lightly charred with the flickering flames of the fire you built. You deserve it.
You don't have to fend for yourself every meal, though. When you're not cooking up a feast on your tent's wood-burning stove or personal fire pit, the Penhein Pantry has everything you need, featuring locally sourced ingredients and the farm's homemade products. The Penhein team also prep full meals, so if you don't feel like donning your chef's hat, all you need to do is pop the pre-prepped meals on your stove and sit back.
