The Owner Says

Tipi Mary has it's own fire pit, with rustic bench seating and a bespoke cooking area with a double gas hob, pots, pans and cooking utensils provided. Inside the tipi there is a comfortable bed with cushions and throws, a stove (for warming purposes only) and a couple of bean bags for relaxing. Provision of crockery and cutlery, a head torch and fairy lights to make your stay as relaxing and comfortable as possible. The two individual wet rooms are near by offering hot showers, washing and  toilet facilities. In this block there is also a kitchenette with a microwave, fridge and washing up sink. The sunset shack offers a communal meeting place with a further cooking area, or somewhere to just sit back and watch the sunset.
As Chefs, we have been outside caterers for many years in the Shropshire/ Powys area, catering for both corporate and personal clients. This year we have restructured our existing company and developed a new commercial kitchen at home which offers us the facility to continue catering for your special events. In future our catering style will be more ‘al fresco’ and relaxed, but of the same high standard. Our ethos is, as always, to be flexible and work with our clients to create food that makes your important days memorable food experiences.

Cutlery, crockery, utensils, head torches and fairy lights provided. Tent campers have use of the communal kitchenette, includes a microwave and fridge. 2 communal wet rooms available. A small on-site honesty shop stocks bare essentials and Ponty's own homemade produce with an honesty box. The communal area ('The Sunset Shack') in the upper copse has stunning views and can be used for informal dining, relaxation or recreation. Each pitch comes with a firepit and rustic seating. Table tennis available onsite and fishing available in the River Cain. 

Activities

It's just a short drive to Llanreaydr Waterfall or Pistyll Rhaeadr – among the highest waterfalls in the UK – and the stunning Lake Vyrnwyn is also nearby. There's no shortage of historic sites in the region with Powis Castle (01938 551944), Chirk Castle (01691 777701) and Whittington Castle (01691 662397) all within easy reach. There's also a wealth of outdoor activities to enjoy in the vicinity, including canoeing and both road and mountain biking. Your hosts are keen cyclists so can fill you in on all the best trails. 

Food & Drink

Hosts and former chefs Ian and Jane organise the occasional pizza / BBQ evenings for guests. The on-site honesty shop is also brimming with their homemade produce. Nearby eateries include the renowned Station Grill (01691 828478), which serves traditional dishes done elegantly, such as Welsh Lamb Rump with minted peas and port and red wine sauce. For something a little spicier, The Palace (01691 828152) is a cracking Indian for dining in or takeaways. Your hosts' personal recommendation is Plas-yn-Dinas (01691 829055), a beautiful timber-beamed restaurant in Llanfechain serving a refined menu of inventive dishes like tempura battered sea bass and cider-brined pork chop. There's a chip shop and cafe nearby, plus 2 mini supermarkets in the village ½ mile away.
