This is a perfect option to escape four walls, connect with nature, and maybe try something different. This is an off-grid glamping, and each yurt comes equipped with beds, a wood-burning stove, an outdoor kitchen area, and a picnic bench with all crockery and utensils supplied.
The yurts are beautifully decorated with lots of little touches to make your stay luxurious. The woodlands envelop the yurts and in the evening, you may be lucky enough to see one of the owls. Each yurt will have its own cool box, with ice packs that can be changed daily to keep any items you bring cool. There are flushing toilets and hot water showers available, each yurt will also be allocated a compost toilet for you to use during your stay. There is also a rustic hot water horsebox shower on site.
Room with a view
Room with a view is a stunning space with all its own amenities including a kitchenette, toilet and shower, and private entrance separate from the main house. They can make up a double or two single beds depending on your requirements. Wake up to the bird song and enjoy your morning cup of tea or coffee overlooking the spectacular Wye Valley. This room comes with a stunning view over Tintern! You can even have your own fire outside your room if you wish.

Retreat location
Come and experience a few days with Dharmabelle in the stunning Wye Valley, an area of outstanding natural beauty, where you can escape the bustle of modern-day life, and reconnect with your mind, body, and spirit with some wonderful self-care in nature. The location is within walking distance of Tintern and the famous Tintern Abbey. Tintern’s Cistercian Abbey is an outstanding beauty and is the best-preserved Medieval Abbey in Wales. It dates back to 1131 and was home to thousands of monks.
The atmospheric ruins of this Cistercian monastery will no doubt move you. The Eagles Nest, Wyndcliff is a double-decker viewing platform perched on the edge of the cliff and is perhaps the most spectacular viewpoint in the Wye Valley. The 'eagle's nest' looks out over the sweeping curve of the Wye around the Lancaut Peninsula, whilst in the distance the river flows into the Severn.
Wye Valley Walk is an area of outstanding natural beauty running from the Welsh coast at Chepstow, passing the serene beauty of Tintern and the county town of Monmouth. Along your way, you will pass the first stone-built castle in Wales at Chepstow, the majestic ruins of Tintern Abbey, the Georgian Monmouth Shire Hall, a Michelin-starred restaurant, and fantastic views over the valley.
