Located in the picturesque village of Craswall, within the stunning Black Mountains just north of the Brecon Beacons National Park, this unique accommodation in Hay-On-Wye, Herefordshire, offers a delightful retreat for two. The area is rich in local culture, with the charming town of Longtown nearby, where visitors can find local produce. For those looking to enjoy a night out, a short walk leads to a local pub, while the vibrant town of Hay on Wye, known for its extensive selection of independent shops, galleries, and cafes, is famous for hosting the renowned Hay on Wye Literary Festival.
This private off-grid camping experience features a distinctive arched roof carriage set on a serene 17-acre farm, home to horses, donkeys, and chickens. Guests can enjoy modern amenities, including a small gas oven, a gas hob, and a cool store for food storage. While the water must be heated on the hob for washing up, the charming setting compensates for this with scenic views of the fields and the Black Mountain range from the cozy dining area. After a day of exploration, guests can relax by the wood burner and listen to the radio, or retire to the comfortable full-size double bed at the end of the carriage.
Outside, visitors will find a gas-powered hot shower, a modern eco compost loo, and a campfire area equipped with cooking utensils for open-flame meals. The outdoor space encourages relaxation, whether at the table and chairs or on the carriage's veranda, all while soaking in the breathtaking mountain and countryside views. The farm's expansive grounds invite guests to explore, offering opportunities for wild swimming at a nearby water hole, engaging with the owners for private donkey picnics in the woods, or learning from the resident horse listener.
With private off-road parking for one car and the assurance of privacy despite the owners being on-site, this retreat is ideal for couples seeking both adventure and tranquility. Additional activities, such as donkey rambles with a pack donkey, can be arranged through the owner upon arrival for an extra cost. It is important to note that the accommodation is closed from December 1st to February 28th due to access limitations, making it a seasonal getaway for those looking to unwind in nature.
