Oriana, Bromyard, Herefordshire?
This round wooden cabin is light and airy, with large windows that frame the lovely views. Almost everything is handmade, from the gnarled wooden beams to the large maroon spindle bed that’s covered in crisp white Egyptian cotton sheets. The minimalist but cozy interior is equipped with everything you need for a short stay. Outside there is an Ooni pizza oven and grill brazier to heat the cockles while your homemade creations sizzle to perfection. You can take woodworking or foraging classes, and explore the 65 acres of Brook House Woods and beyond – cider orchards, quince trees, and vineyards.
For two people from £ 160 per night (canopyandstars.co.uk/oriana)
Group outings
Box Barn, Raglan, Monmouthshire?
If you are struggling to find a place to stay for you, your family, your friends and the usual roommates, this is the place you have dreamed of. Box Barn’s brilliant “Camp” has the relaxed feel of your own private festival – with lights around the central fire pit, the glowing pizza oven, and the music flowing from a vintage turntable setup. There are garden games and afternoon tea sets on the lawn, a large table on the terrace for morning coffee, the bar for sundowners and a huge hot tub for eight people to immerse yourself in. Spend the night in a cleverly constructed stable, a ship-style sleeping house or in a vintage caravan.
Camp for 12, from £ 230 per night (canopyandstars.co.uk/boxbarn)
