A woodburner and private shower make this the perfect hideaway. The Forest of Dean and the Wye valley surround your cool horsebox home on the site of a great microbrewery. Open November to March.
Pioneer lives up to its hardy name by opening only during the winter months, but warmth won’t be a problem, with the cosy bed up a ladder above the cab, the wood-burner crackling in the corner and Kingstone Brewery on hand to supply you with that special inner glow.

There’s a bar & shop on site where they do a great range of Kingstone beer. There is a monthly pizza & beer event on the first Saturday of every month. If you give her some advance notice, Tori can also arrange some supplies ready for when you arrive, or perhaps a chilled bottle of something sparkling!

Exploring nearby…
A visit to Tintern Abbey is really amazing and once you are on the inside you will be surprised by its size. It is a wonderfully majestic site.
Tintern is also a lovely village to walk around with unusual and fascinating little shops! Tori’s favourite is Stella Books as they have over 30,000 rare or out of print books – you will be bound to find a memorable story there!
Clearwell Caves – 4500 Years of mining history in an amazing cave system.
Puzzlewood – magical woodland in the Forest of Dean.
Dean Steam Railway – Dean Forest railway.
A day out at Go Ape! Forest of Dean, 11 miles away, is always recommended for Tarzan swings and epic zip wires.
Abbey Mill, Tintern – award willing riverside shopping & dining.
Ask Ed & Tori for more information on the local area.
Pioneer
~It was great, great location, easy to get to on public transport, really cosy and Ed was very welcoming and accommodating. And of course it was a brewery so fab for beer drinkers!! Had everything you needed in a separate shared hut, with kitchen facilities and a clean toilet, bath and hot shower.
