We are in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the heart of Herefordshire, nice and central to the rest of country, and in between Hereford And Ross-on-Wye, both about 6 miles away. The farm is located between the two villages of picturesque Hoarwithy and Little Dewchurch.
The stunning River Wye is a walk away (or a short drive) from your tent.. with 3 traditional pubs within walking distance too.
We can guide you to the best footpaths, picnic spots and wild swimming locations just a mile or so away from us. The river has a few pebble beaches when its low, areas which are ideal for spotting minos and paddling.
You could star gaze on a clear night from the top of our South facing valley. The skies are clear of light pollution, so are perfect for spotting star constellations and maybe shooting stars too.
It’s worth mentioning that there are lots of fun things to do on site too: Explore the footpaths around the 17 acres of beautiful woodland. Children can bring their bikes to ride when the tracks are drier. They can make dens, collect firewood in the wheelbarrow, find tracks, spot wildlife like rabbits, badgers, foxes, deer, buzzards, and lots of other birds, plants, & creatures. There are also swings dotted around the woodland, and even a ping pong table under one of the awnings.
*New for 2025, we also have various on-site activities that can be booked, either for just adults, or all of the family – please see our ON-SITE EXPERIENCES page for details.**
We love fire! Everyone has their own fire pit area for that quintessential toasting of marshmallows, for cooking over an open fire, and for gathering around at night. Each tent also has their own BBQ for cooking on too.
The wood-fired pizza oven is available to all who wish to cook their pizza the traditional way. Great activity for all the family to get involved!
Have a long hot soak under the stars in our wood fired hot hubs too.. Bliss! We have two hot tubs in total. Just pop your name down on arrival to book your slot. We charge £30 if you’d us to heat for you or £20 if you wish to heat it yourselves. Whatever the weather this is worth experiencing!
Experiencing the river via canoe is a peaceful and fun activity.

And Canoe The Wye
The Forest Of Dean is a short drive away. Ideal for experiencing Go Ape, hiring bikes to explore the beautiful forest trails, lakes to picnic by, and playgrounds for the children. You can even go Llama trekking.
We highly recommend Hampton Court just north of Hereford. Explore the manor house and beautiful gardens and tea room. Child friendly. Eastnor Castle and Goodrich Castle are close by too.
Head over the border into Wales for a day out to the book town of Hay On Wye. Lots of beautiful quirky vintage shops and of course tons of book shops. Great cafes and river walks there too.
Herefordshire is of course famous for its cider making and apple orchards! Take a tour around Westons Cider at Much Marcle. Well worth a visit with sampling included.
Other places our guests have loved are the Butterfly Zoo at Symonds Yat, The Maze also near by and Puzzlewood.. (Doctor Who and Merlin have both been filmed there).
