New in Town: Heart of the Wye

We have five uniquely styled nomadic yurts each sleeping up to four, making them perfect for couples, families and friends to share. Overlooking the border between Hereford and Wales, each of our tents have a spectacular view of the sun setting over the rolling fields and orchards of the Golden Valley.

Inside your tent you will find a comfy double bed (with the option to add two extra singles) a seating area, and clothes rail. Each tent has a power pack which will power the lights and charge devices. In the area just outside, you can enjoy private decking with chairs, a sheltered picnic bench, and firepit with grill and accessories. Our communal spaces comprise of a newly refurbished campers’ kitchen, modern wash facilities and state of the art flushable compost toilets. Popular supper club and highly rated place to dine, Off Grid Gourmet, is located at the top of our orchard.

What made you start up this business? We know what we personally love when we go on holidays in the UK. We want to explore a beautiful setting, relax, and be welcomed with warmth by our hosts. It has been our dream to be able to offer that and more to guests coming to visit us. After spending many years teaching and my husband working in landscaping, we are excited to embark on this new chapter of our lives
