Ty Grug Pods

16/06/2026

Our resident four-legged host was busy this morning carrying out an important inspection of one of the beautiful red Oriental poppies growing around Ty Grug Pods.

With the vibrant red bloom taking centre stage and one of our cosy pods nestled quietly amongst the trees in the background, it's a lovely reminder of what makes this place so special - nature, peace and a chance to slow down for a while.

Of course, Shep's inspection standards are extremely high, but thankfully this poppy passed with flying colours. 🐾

It’s always nice reading feedback like this 🤍

Knowing people have come here, slowed down, and genuinely enjoyed the peace and quiet means a lot.

That’s exactly what this place is about - simple camping pods, fresh air and a bit of space to switch off.

Thinking about walking the Offa's D**e Path? 🥾

Our latest blog shares a more relaxed way to experience one of the UK’s most iconic long-distance walking routes - without the pressure of completing all 177 miles.

Located near Kington on the Welsh border, Ty Grug Pods offers simple, comfortable camping pods just a short drive from the trail making it easy to explore sections of Offa’s D**e at your own pace.

Instead of moving accommodation every night, you can:

Walk scenic sections of Offa’s D**e Path
Take in the views across the Welsh borders
And return to a peaceful base each evening

It’s a simple, more flexible way to enjoy walking in Wales at your own pace, with somewhere peaceful to return to each day.

We opened on 1st April and it’s been lovely to welcome our first guests back. Even better… our first review is in and it’s safe to say they enjoyed their stay.

Cosy, warm, clean, and plenty of space to relax with walks by the River Wye and the Beacons just a short drive away.

They even had Storm Dave while they were here…and it still didn’t ruin the stay ☺️

Always nice to know people are leaving happy (and already planning to come back).

🐑 It started in January… and the sheep clearly didn’t get the memo.

Lambing season is supposed to begin in March.

Ours had other ideas.

We’ve already welcomed early arrivals, scanned this year’s numbers (they’re looking very lively 👀), and even taken on a tiny bottle-fed lamb who’s completely stolen the show.

It’s the real, behind-the-scenes side of life on a working Welsh hill farm - unpredictable, full-on, and honestly… a bit magical.

If you’ve ever wondered what lambing season is actually like (not the postcard version), we’ve shared the full story here 👇

And if you’re thinking about a spring escape…
Our pods open 1st April, right in the middle of it all — lambs in the fields, fresh air, and views you don’t get from a hotel window.
