About Nature's Nest

The perfect way to enjoy a getaway immersed in nature, whilst not forgoing the luxuries. Ideal for families and groups, the site is located in the scenic Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with direct access to the River Wye, just a 200m stroll down for the tents. There are just four safari tents onsite, each kitted out with everything you will need for a comfortable stay. Sleeping up to six, there is a double bedroom with storage, a twin room and a king size cabin bed, accessed by a small ladder with a storage or kids play area underneath. All feature comfy mattresses and fresh bedding. For unwinding during the day, there is a spacious living area with big squishy sofas and a wood burner to keep you nice and cosy. The kitchen comes fully equipped too, with an induction hob, microwave, toaster, kettle and fridge/freezer. A large dining table is perfect for evenings in. Adding to the hotel feel, each tent also features a modern ensuite bathroom. Accessed by a wooden sliding door, this includes an electric shower, sink, loo and luxury soaps with hand soap, shower gel, shampoo and conditioner. One large thick bath towel is provided for each guest too. To make the most of the stunning views, there is an outdoor decking area with a patio set, great for unwinding with a glass of wine. You will even have your own five person hot tub for a morning or evening soak. On the grass in front of each tent, there is also a fire pit area for toasting marshmallows at night! In the cooler months, the site can provide electric blankets to ensure a warm night's sleep. If holidaying with your little one, the site can also provide a travel cot and other extras, with toys and chairs under the cabin bed to keep them busy. Four-legged friends can also join you for your stay, with up to three allowed per tent. The site is set on a working farm so please keep dogs on a lead. The riverside is perfect for walks and they can enjoy a paddle too.

Nature's Nest is open from 22/03 to 03/11.

A note from the site themselves...

Nature's Nest is set up on our families favourite place on the farm, only a short walk to our own private access to the river Wye. The best place to hang out with family and friends while having a little splash, if you are up for it. You won't be disappointed if you do make the effort to explore the river, either hire one of our paddleboards or bring you own.
