The Hop Garden offers a great selection of glamping options, including a shepherd's hut, glam bell tents, glamping cabins and more. All this is set in the exquisite surroundings of rural Wales, just moments from majestic Tintern Abbey and within all the exciting outdoor adventures of the Wye Valley AONB. The River Wye is only a few hundred metres from the meadow where the accommodation sits.
Glamping here is in a sweet meadow, with a river running just a short distance away. And right opposite the garden is a fabulous beer micro brewery - something for beer fans to check out as you get to know the place. Your surroundings are teeming with wildlife too, including deer, rabbit, pheasants and badgers waiting to be glimpsed. How about a pair of charming bell tents, complete with comfy beds, lighting and pretty furniture? Or a shepherd's hut with a stable style door, electric heater, vintage furnishings and comfy bed perfect for two. For those looking to stay in the perfect little home from home on their getaway, there are also glamping cabins, each sleeping two and set in gorgeous surroundings. With toasty wood burners in place, soft beds and en-suite facilities in their furnished interiors, these certainly put the glam into glamping. Wherever you choose to stay, every option includes a toasty fire pit, great for campfire cook outs.
Glamping cabins are available year round, while the shepherd's hut and bell tents are open from March until October.
