Overview
Property code: OC-63222

Get close to nature with a stay in this enticing wagon, in picturesque, verdant surroundings near Craswell, 7 miles from Hay-on-Wye. Ideally positioned for days out into the Brecon Beacons National Park and Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the unique, one-bedroom, holiday home for two nestles on a farm within the Black Mountains. Take two delighted dogs along with you for long walks to set tails wagging; go wild swimming nearby or simply soak away your cares in your private hot tub.

Climb a few steps up into the wagon’s open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner/bedroom to find that even when off-grid, you have every comfort. Cook inside on the gas oven or hobs or outside over the open fire. Wash up after heating your water on the stove then light the wood burner, chat about your day and have a hot shower in the separate shower room before heading over to the inviting double bed. This property's eco credentials include solar power and a composting WC. Enjoy breakfast out in the fresh air on warm spring and summer mornings and absorb the glorious landscapes around you. Soak in the hot tub as often as you choose. There is parking for one car with the holiday home.

Head into Hay-on-Wye to browse in the shops of the famous book town, pick up local produce and dine out when you fancy a treat. Visit the castle while you are here. Drive 13.5 miles into the Brecon Beacons to see the ruins of Llanthony Priory, set in the scenic Vale of Ewyas. Have a day out in Abergavenny, 15 miles away, known for its many food outlets and eateries selling local Welsh delicacies.

The Dreamcatcher Wagon is absolutely idyllic! If you want a peaceful relaxing break, totally off grid and away from the stresses of every day life, this is it! We had the most wonderful time, relaxing around the camp and exploring the local, very dog friendly area. Sue and John are fabulous hosts, so lovely and welcoming and helpful, while at the sRead moreame time leaving us in peace to enjoy our break. We will definitely be going back and highly recommend! And even better, the proceeds go towards the donkeys at the sanctuary the wagon is situated on. The horses come right up to the camp fence which we loved, but wouldn't be suitable for reactive dogs. It is worth bearing in mind that you can't park your car at the camp, you park on the farm and then it's just a 4 or 5 minute walk through woodland to the camp. This didn't bother us and in fact added to the charm of the place, but would be an issue for anyone with accessibility restrictions. The local area is beautiful. There's a shop about 15 mins drive away, which sold everything we needed, with friendly staff. The nearby Bridge Inn is a lovely pub in a beautiful setting and The Bull pub is a must if you want a delicious meal, a bit pricey, but really worth it! Hay-On-Wye is a lovely little town, with a market on Thursdays and make sure you find the tucked away river walk there too. We can't wait to go back! Hide

It was calm, peaceful, perfect for the dogs and gave us the switch off we absolutely needed. The hosts, Sue and John are wonderful and have a whole host of animals with hilarious and gorgeous personalities for you to admire and this is what our money is going towards.

I selected Dreamcatcher cabin as the stay for my wife's 40th. We have two very young boys and our day to day between them, animals and work is pretty hectic! So to be able to book a secluded spot like this was ideal. It meant not having to get up so the cleaning team could access the room, not being stuck to the meal serving times of a hotel etc. IRead moret meant no schedule, no itinerary and no stress. We could just do what we wanted when we wanted. It was exactly what we needed! Hide
