Pioneer
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.

Description
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.
**Wye Valley Experience is based onsite specialising in canoeing and mountain bike hire alongside guided trips meaning we are able to offer our guests a special experience of canoeing the River Wye or exploring the local area on Mountain bikes.
**The on-site bar hosts a monthly wood-fired pizza night on the first Saturday of each month, it’s super popular so be sure to book well in advance!

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.

~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.
