Property code: 63222

In the village of Craswall and the beautiful Black Mountains just north of the Brecon Beacons National Park. Pop to Longtown for local produce just a short distance down the road or take walk to the local pub for refreshments. In nearby Hay-on-Wye, where you’re bound to find a book on just about anything, it is full of independent and local shops, galleries, cafes and great events including the renowned Hay-on-Wye Literary Festival. Stroll the local paths or hike to the summit of Pen-y-Fan, the highest point in South Wales. Take a ride on the Brecon Beacons Mountain Railway and uncover the history at the Big Pit Mining Museum. Perfect for two to relax or enjoy an active holiday.

This private off-grid camp includes the quirky arched roof wagon,  shower, eco compost loo cabins, solar panels and is set on the idyllic 17 acre farm with horses, donkeys and chickens. Walk up the steps into this stylish arched roof wagon with lovely little touches throughout. If you decide to eat in, there’s a small gas oven and a gas hob, cool store and sink. The water will need to be heated on the hob for washing up though, a small chore in this lovely campers setting. The folding dining table and sturdy chairs are perfectly positioned by the window to enjoy a hearty breakfast, whilst overlooking the fields and Black Mountain range. After a full day out snuggle up by the wood burner, listen to the radio and later retire to the comfortable full size double bed at the end of the wagon.

Outside you will find the gas powered hot shower, modern eco compost loo and the camp fire already set up with all the utensils you need to cook on the open flame. Relax around the table and chairs,  or on the veranda on the wagon. Wherever you choose to sit at the camp you will be able to embrace the most spectacular mountain and countryside views. Explore this 17 acre sanctuary farm with horses, donkeys and chickens. Walk down to the water hole for wild swimming, meet with the owners for private donkey picnics in the woods or find out more from the resident horse listener. This is a unique and special place for a couple to retreat and unwind. There is private off-road parking for one car at the property. The owners are on-site though privacy is assured.

We had an amazing time at DreamCatcher Wagon. The wagon was so cute and cosy with all the essential items needed for a weekend away. Sue was an amazing host, very warm and welcoming, nothing was too much trouble. The surrounding area is absolutely beautiful, a perfect view of the Black Mountains and a great spot for star gazing at night.

If you don't need a room service, if you don't mind horses grazing steps away from your cabin, if you don't mind your car is parked uphill one hundred yards away... a Dreamcatcher wagon is a perfect stay. Only noise here are birds and swaying of the trees. Only colours you see are sky blue and all shades of green. Only lights in the night are moon Read moreand stars. And there is only one sign of luxury: a private outdoor hot tub ( but you have to heat it up on yourself!). Thank you Sue and John! Hide

We loved our stay at The Gypsy Wagon for bank holiday weekend. It's a short (but steep and muddy when it's wet) walk from the car but it felt like we were in the middle of nowhere.
