  • Quiet rural location in north Herefordshire near the Welsh border
  • A 10-minute drive to Presteigne; 25 minutes to Ludlow or Craven Arms
  • Space for only two family groups; private bathroom for each party
Keeping it small, rural and relaxed, Willey Lane Farm is an excellent pick for family groups looking for a break just south of the Shropshire Hills. Set on 92 acres of rolling farmland in north Herefordshire, this site only hosts two family groups of up to six at any one time – so staying here is a very restful experience indeed. The camping area is set apart from the rest of the farm in a peaceful two-acre field that contains a young orchard of mixed fruit trees and 1,000 lavender plants. Sweet-smelling stays at this site also come with access to a private toilet, shower and washbasin, as well as individual washing-up areas with hot and cold water for both groups. The views over the surroundings are, if anything, even more special than the facilities, as the hamlet of Lower Willey sits at about 650 feet above sea level, with far-reaching vistas across and down the valley. At night, these stellar views keep on giving thanks to the site's location in a designated dark sky area, while early risers may catch sight of the deer that can sometimes be spotted grazing in the field at daybreak. Guests at Willey Lane Farm are free to ramble around the farmland and ancient woodland or head down into Presteigne (10 minutes' drive), the nearest town, for pubs, shops, restaurants and other local amenities.

Christine H.

Lavender yurt (two person)

Liked Beautiful setting, well equipped yurts with a lovely view. We lit the woodburning fire both nights and the firepit outside as it went cold at night. The sky is full of stars when it goes dark and look amazing. The owners were on hand for any problems.

Disliked The bed was a bit uncomfortable and the pillows also but we asked for more so the second nights sleep was a bit better.

Excellent site, nice rural location. Felt a home away from home

Emma D.

Violet yurt (four person)

Liked Location was very rural and a nice retreat. The facilities were fantastic, there was a kitchen and bathroom for each yurt, so we had our own space. The outside facilitates were spot on, a fire pit and lounging chairs for each yurt. We had a lovely evening looking at the stars, which were super bright.
Inside the yurt was spotless with a comfy bed and pull out bed for children. Had all the facilities you would expect. The bathroom was a few hundred meters away and had the softest towels!
The hosts were lovely, really approachable and friendly. We had a young child with us and it felt super safe for them.

Local attractions

Pootle about the shops in Presteigne (10 minutes' drive) for souvenirs or antiques or visit the historic Judge's Lodgings museum. Alternatively, come to experience the town's special events, like the vibrant music festival held here in the last week of every August. If you like the feel of the place, it's easy to get out to another similarly well-preserved border town at Hay-on-Wye (40 minutes), home to the annual literary festival. For walks and outdoor activities, the Shropshire Hills National Landscape is within easy reach. Get your bearings at the discovery centre in Craven Arms (25 minutes) before stretching your legs along the Long Mynd plateau (30 minutes) or taking circular cycle rides in the countryside around gorgeous Church Stretton (35 minutes). The surrounding area has more attractions in abundance, from The Spaceguard Centre (10 minutes), a working observatory, to National Trust properties like Berrington Hall (30 minutes) or Croft Castle (25 minutes). As this is in a historic border region, there are lots more castles around too, including the particularly well-preserved example at Ludlow (25 minutes).
