How Caple, Herefordshire, England
A wood cabin on a working farm in the Wye Valley, positioned in a private field with views across rolling countryside and the River Wye. The cabin runs on solar power and leans into off grid simplicity: a wood burner, two gas hobs, a compost toilet, and a hot shower. An outdoor bath and fire pit for toasting marshmallows sit alongside a path down to the river and a pebble beach.
Foraging, stand up paddleboarding, canoeing, and wild swimming are all accessible from the doorstep. The off grid setup means no hairdryers or high energy appliances, and luggage goes from car park to cabin via wheelbarrow. This is a stay for those who want the Wye Valley experience raw, not polished. The host runs additional cabins on the same site for when this one is fully booked.
We love the river access and the pebble beach. Being able to walk from a wood burner warmed cabin to a wild swim in the Wye is the kind of thing that makes a stay memorable.
Guests consistently praised the beautiful cabin for its stargazing window, BBQ, firepit, dreamy outdoor bathtub, well-equipped kitchen, convenient food pickup, and great location for experienced cyclists.
