Restore your mind, body and soul at Orchid Meadows, an unusual, even unique, place to stay. Red Kite Yurt is a Mongolian-style yurt situated in its own meadow on our rewilding nature reserve in West Wales and is suitable for couples, singles and families (minimum age five). On-site you can watch red kites and buzzards while unwinding and enjoying the outdoors, or you can use Orchid Meadows as a springboard to explore the stunning West Wales coast.
Red Kite Yurt is sumptuously furnished and decorated in the colours of this iconic bird of prey. It has a magnificent king-size sleigh bed and log-burner inside and a field kitchen outside with an additional Kadai firebowl for barbecues plus a wood-fired pizza oven. There are private mains toilet and shower facilities and a shared kitchen sink area. Sleeping two adults and up to two children (age 5-12; sleeping mats and pillows provided, please bring sleeping bags), Red Kite Yurt is available from April to October for off-grid short breaks or longer holidays.
You have access to 25 acres of private nature reserve - yours to explore and discover its wildlife. There is a nature trail to follow and an orchard guide introduces our heritage varieties of apple, pear, quince and medlar.

Your stay includes a welcome box of home-baked cakes and we can supply complimentary free-range eggs and fresh organic produce from the polytunnel. Phone chargers are available. We also have Tawny Little House and Goldfinch Glampavan available if you want to come as a group.
We are on-site and can help with queries and problems or simply offer a chat and cup of tea. You have a fantastic opportunity to find out about running your own small-holding and living the good life away from the crowd!
Please note there are cats and hens on-site and there may be a dog staying in Goldfinch Glampavan.
