The Wagon Over The Valley

​when booking for 108 Dewachen Express please choose one of the deposits that applies to you.  Thank you.

A completely original Wagon full of unique touches, at the top of a wild hilly meadow with breathtaking mountain views.
Daphne acquired the Wagon after an auspicious chance encounter with a kindred spirit called Dale, who wanted to swap his current life on the roads for a life of wandering the hills with just his horse and tent. It was Dale who fitted out the wagon with gypsy caravan inspired furnishings: a bed with a canopy made of white linen and lace and satin ribbons, antique mirrors, a cosy wood burner and two Edwardian desks, which combined with the absolutely magnificent view towards the Black Mountains are enough to give anyone the urge to write. Daphne herself added the lean-to kitchen and finishing touches like the pretty solar fairy lights out on the decking, where you’ll find wooden armchairs and other handcrafted outdoor furniture to sit and look out over the valley.

Daphne’s individual spirit infuses the whole of the New Inn Brilley – you can’t miss the Stupa draped in prayer flags near the shared shower hut, and there’s an old barn turned meditation space, where you can arrange to have guided meditation sessions. During the day you can head to the markets in Hay on Wye, and whether you choose to explore by bike, horse, canoe or simply by foot, the surrounding scenery is just stunning.
I have to  mention a very recent addition is an outdoor bath tub, on the decking for you to enjoy a hot soak under the stars, its called   'floating to heaven....' 

There is a fresh spring about 15 yards below the Wagon, with some cracks in the
​ground where water has made its way down so do be careful, especially if you're bringing children!

One double bed.

Each bag of wood supplied for the wood burners £5 each please, for you to pay before you leave. Thanks.
