Toad & Snail Glamping

A romantic getaway in the Brecon Beacons and a place to relax and unwind in the beautiful Welsh countryside. Toad and Snail Glamping is the ideal quirky accommodation to explore Pen y Fan, Waterfall Country and the wonders of the Brecon Beacons.

The Toad

Are you looking for a unique and quirky place to stay in Wales? Why not try a vintage train holiday. The Toad is an incredibly well restored GWR brake van vintage train otherwise known as a Toad Wagon, hence the name, commonly used post wartime as a safety brake on goods trains. Boasting original rustic features and weighing a hefty 20 tons, today offering unique self catering accommodation with en-suite shower and wood fired hot tub! Why not immerse yourself amongst sounds of bird song and country life. Come wind, rain or shine escape to this fantastic base and explore the Brecon Beacons and beyond all year round.

The space

Inside we have lovingly restored and preserved its authenticity and original interior, incorporating bespoke oak and mahogany features throughout. Whilst rummaging through local antique shops and markets, many items are sourced locally at Trecastle Antiques Centre, we even found an authentic railway luggage rack!
In addition to this, we have installed all the ‘mod cons’ needed to supply instant hot water, heating, Wi-Fi, outside lighting and multiple charging points (including USB and a shaving point) for your stay.

Kitchen

There is a fitted kitchen with fridge/freezer, 2 gas burner stove, brass sink, drainer & taps, along with a kettle, toaster and all utensils. Our Ekol Apple Pie wood burning stove will keep you cosy throughout the seasons. (Initial firewood is provided for both the wood burner and hot tub and any additional can be purchased for £7).

Bathroom

Enhancing its rustic charm, there is a cosy ensuite with flushing loo, small sink and enamel shower complimented with local Myddfai Toiletries, towels and a hairdryer.

Living Space

There is a comfortable bespoke corner double bed to unwind after a busy day exploring the Beacons, (bed linen provided).
Warm up in front of the log burner on a winters night, or step out onto the balcony to enjoy a spectacular sunset or dark skies. Don't worry, for those chilly evenings extra blankets are supplied.

Outside

Elevated and set on original railway track, there is a chemical free wood fired hot tub, (not connected to electric), private decking, patio and garden area with seating and fire pit (local firewood supplied) for you to relax and enjoy the welsh countryside, sunsets and dark skies. In your private garden you’ll hear birdsong, resident woodpecker, cuckoo and owls amongst other country folk. Although the hot tub is available throughout the year, it is weather dependent.

The outside lighting switches are found at the base of the staircase.

We look forward to welcoming you with a complimentary basket of tea/coffee and something for you to nibble!

We hope you enjoy your stay with us in The Toad at Toad and Snail Glamping
