Dreamcatcher Wagon Reviews

Lauren

Myself and my partner had a beautiful stay at the wagon, for 3 nights for my birthday. We wish we could have stayed longer and if we do come back, will certainly extend the stay! Breathtaking views of the mountains every morning, awesome wood burning hot tub which was wonderful under the stars.We cooked meals inside and outside on the various stoveRead mores, everything you need for a comfortable stay is there! Tonnes of walks and the Bulls Head Pub(recommended by Sue!) is not to be missed! Stunning food! Hide

Aimee

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.

Samantha

Peaceful, gorgeous cabin, fabulous hot tub - perfect!

Justin

Beautiful location, hidden away so completely private. Very dog friendly(we took two). Nice local pub in walking distance with beautiful food. Lovely Shepherd hut with all amenities. Sue was lovely and friendly and very helpful. Just be mindful you are off grid, so no phone charger! No plugs, take an external battery charger(if needed).

Jennifer

Just back from a lovely relaxing break. Everything was amazing and the hosts are lovely. Safe to say we have found our paradise and look forward to returning soon.

Kate

Our stay in the Dreamcatcher wagon was an absolutely amazing experience! Living completely off-grid was surprisingly liberating, allowing us to disconnect and fully immerse ourselves in nature. The location is perfect and you couldn't be closer to the stunning scenery, with breathtaking views that are all yours to enjoy. The hot tub was the cherry Read moreon top, providing the ultimate relaxation under the stars. We brought our dog along, and it was perfect for him too. It is a truly unique gateway! Hide

Babs

Just spent 7 days at this beautiful rustic wagon. If you need to switch off and recharge this is the place. Sue really looked after us making sure we had everything we needed. Our only neighbours were the gorgeous horses,squirrels,and Owls. The hot tub was a big plus you need a little patience for it to heat up but it is so worth it. Definitely goiRead moreng back. Hide

George

We stayed here for 2 nights and loved it. The wagon is a beautiful little place to stay and we felt very comfortable there. It was very peaceful and great for a little break to reset! We visited hay on wye which is beautiful and within 25 mins drive. We also spent a day at the brecon beacons waterfalls which was about an hour away. Great location aRead morend highly recommend!

Steve

Lovely countryside cabin for get away few days

Neil

Great location. Peaceful and relaxing

Claire

Loved our stay at the Dreamcatcher, so peaceful, lovely views. Hosts were amazing. And the animals on site were a delight for us.

Alison

Quiet, tranquil place. Back to basics . Hot tub great, remember to check if water is really cold as it will take longer than an hour to heat up. Welcomed with smiles. View of black mountain .

Rachel

Such a cute little hut, with everything you need, in an idyllic location. A place of perfect peace and serenity.

Dan

What an amazing place to spend a couple of nights - a great secluded spot to convince you that your are the only people in the world, and a cosy set-up with a surprising amount of space in the wagon. The hot-tub is a beautiful feature, especially on a clear night, detached shower and compost toilet add to the rugged feel but the shower gets nice anRead mored warm. Surrounding fields and streams are a pleasure to explore, and Hay-On-Wye is well worth a visit for a book lover. Thanks so much for having us! Hide

Beth

The cabin, facilities, hot tub and location was lovely. It was a really special stay. Thank you

Alecia

Absolutely beautiful! We needed a weekend to chill and get away from life for a bit and we feltnfully refreshed and much happier after! Hopefully we will be back in the summer! We enjoyed watching the stars, spending the evening in the hot tub and the cutest shephards hut ever. Everything we needed. Thank you!

Rachel

Another beautiful, peaceful stay. The setting is serene, surrounded by nature and lovely horses. Sue is an amazing host, attentive and kind. The best hut I have ever stayed in. Thank you again.

Stephen

Sue the host was brilliant and informative, couldn't fault the location or the wagon or facilities. Only recommendation would to be asking hot tub could be pre lit prior to arrival.

Beth

We had the most wonderful week at the Dreamcatcher wagon, everything was perfect. The location is magical and secluded and the wagon has everything you need. Sue and John were such brilliant hosts, we couldn't have asked for more and will definitely be back again soon :)

Elizabeth

The shepherds hut did not disappoint, every little detail had been attended to, cosy, charming, romantic getaway from it all spot! Loved the extra blankets and cushions which made it really homely. The hot tub at night under the stars was amazing and an experience I'll never forget ! Watching the horses graze, flick their tails and add the occasion al hoof scratch was strangely very relaxing . We had a wonderful week and my boyfriend loved having the freedom of the valley getting back to nature!

Zbigniew

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 and 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!

Richard

Beautifully peaceful location to unwind with the dog. Great facilities and location with a simple short drive to Hay-on-Wye. Host was very friendly and helpful and to cap it all off staying helps keep the sanctuary they run going.

Katie

Lovely owners, amazing setting, beautiful quirky wagon. The bed was so comfy!! Brilliant to have such dog friendly owners! Some great dog walks. 100% recommend, cooking outside then in the hot tub the rain and storms didn't put us off!

Dennis

We found the accommodation as described on the website and thoroughly enjoyed our week, which was a relaxing one with beautiful views of the countryside and luckily excellent weather. As townies, it was a delight to be woken up by the dawn chorus - and we hadn't heard cuckoos for many years! The donkeys and horses on the farm/animal sanctuary were friendly and fun to watch knowing they were being well looked after. Sue, the owner was very welcoming and extremely helpful - thank you Sue.

Joanne

This really is a stunning getaway. Unbelievably peaceful, astounding views and even more comfortable than expected. Cook over the open fire, relax in the wood fired hot tub or just take in the views from the loungers, if you want to get away from civilisation, you are unlikely to find anywhere better than this. Take an axe to split the logs to make it easier, but the owners are always willing to help. We will be back without a doubt.

Ali

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. The view is magnificent. The only sounds are the bird song, sheep, the river and occasionally the horses. Sharing the space with the horses was really special. The wagon is well equipped and there were plenty of lovely little touches. The wagon itself was more spacious then I expected & hot tub a good size for two.

Nicola

Lovely cosy place with the stove lit. Nice comfy bed and great view of the stars from the hot tub. If you're visiting in cold weather make sure to leave plenty of time to heat the hot tub. We kept the fire box stoked and it took three hours and a whole sack of logs to get up to temperature. It was worth it though :)

Rachel

Absolute bliss; I thoroughly enjoyed myself in pure peace and serenity. It is a break from the rat race, strolling down to the river every morning. I would advise if going; something to cut wood, battery packs, and a sketch pad.

Lisa

So lovely and peaceful, hosts very friendly, have everything that need.. my only recommendation would be that the hot tub takes a very long time to heat up so would have been great if it had been lit before we arrived so could use on first evening. Location great if you just want sone peace and quiet no light or noise pollution just the sound of wa ter great loved it and would recommend and we went in middle of winter and rained !

Mel

Despite going at one of the coldest times of year this trip was one of the most memorable I have ever had. Me and my partner absolutely loved it here. We were in the hot tub most nights, stargazing and talking. I cooked a beautiful beef stew at the fire pit which we consumed over a couple of days. We journaled, read (often outside, under many blank ets, with the mountains in front of us) and I knitted. I slept like a baby as well - the silence was incredibly serene. 10/10 Thank you.

Margherita

The wagon was beautiful, very cosy and secluded. You have beauty views and the option to relax in the Hotub at night while watching a sky full of stars. The occasional sheep keeping company. If you need a weekend to get away this is 100% the place. Sue and John where lovely.

Joanna

Had a wonderful relaxing break. The view is spectacular and thoroughly recommend. Perfect place to recharge. Sue very welcoming and helpful. Cant wait to return.

Emily

We absolutely loved our 4 night stay. Sue could not have been more welcoming. The shepherds hut was everything and more! A perfectly little get away.

Michael

Was very happy with the accommodation, Comfortable and quiet with very nice hosts. You do need to be reasonably able to get to the location though as the walk to the property is across a field. Cabin was warm and comfy and amazing night skies

Steve

Our stay was fantastic. The owners greeted us and made us very welcome. They explained how everything worked and then left us alone for the duration. It was so peaceful and such a beautiful location. We will definitely stay again!!

Eva

It's a lovely location, just green fields !

Chloe

A beautiful stay. Hot tub easy to use. We did stay during a heatwave, but the parasol kept us cool as you are in a great spot for catching rays. Both us and the dog enjoyed the short walk down to the stream which we used to cool some G&Ts! There isnt a fridge, but 2 cool boxes are provided and Sue came down daily to swap out the ice blocks which re ally helped us keep our small amount of food fresh. Welcome basket was a lovely touch. Toilet and shower both great. We will be returning!

Heather

The perfect bolthole for "getting away from it all". Charming, cosy trailer with a well-equipped kitchenette. Wood fired hot tub was a big hit. Everything spotlessly clean. Lovely south-facing, quiet secluded spot surrounded by farmland, gently sloping down to a nice little stream. We spent our evenings by the fire pit listening to the wildlife and stargazing. Perfect.

Brett

What a beautiful site. So quite and peaceful. The owner was very friendly and such a warm welcome. If your looking for peace and tranquility then you will find it here.

Charmaine

The cabin was perfectly appointed with everything you could need including a full pint of fresh milk, butter, eggs, bread, olive oil, salt and pepper. Thoughtful touches from the delightful hosts were everywhere to keep you comfortable and cozy whilst you enjoy the spectacular scenery and wildlife. Easy walking distance to a couple of great pubs. S itting in the hottub enjoying the views was blissful and felt like every day life was a million miles away.
