Recently featured in The Guardian’s ‘10 of the best UK spas and wellbeing holidays’, Hill Farm comprises 15 glorious acres of enchanting woodland, paddocks and streams that overlook the Wye Valley, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

A family-run retreat, friendly owners Tom and Hayley are passionate about protecting their awe-inspiring natural environment.  

Not only is their cosy, dog-friendly yurt accommodation soothingly off-grid, but you can relax in a magical eco spa that features a wood-fired sauna, and a spring-fed hot tub… utter bliss.

Meanwhile, superbly positioned for magnificent views, two roomy 18ft yurts sleep up to 2 adults and 3 children, while the romantic 12ft yurt is perfect for a couple (plus one infant, if you can’t find a babysitter!)

Lovingly styled and furnished to reflect your woodland surroundings, you can snuggle up in downy beds dressed in fresh linen, as the wood-burning stove keeps you lovely and warm.  

Outside, you’ll find a covered, well-equipped kitchen area that means you can pack perfectly light. You’ll also be allocated a private compost loo, and there’s a gorgeously rustic ‘horsebox’ shower with plenty of piping hot water for epic freshen-ups (you will be allocated shower times on arrival.)

If you prefer four-walled accommodation, you could opt for the elegant ‘Room with a View’ in the main house, instead. Equipped with a separate entrance, a furnished patio, and private facilities that include a kitchenette and shower room, the room sleeps two guests in a double or two single beds, with room for a travel cot or a small fold-out bed if needed.
