About Redwood Valley
Located on the England/Wales border in a 25-acre woodland dominated by 50+ magnificent oak trees - some of which are believed to be 400+ years old - Redwood Valley is a low-impact glamping site. The redwood tree from which the site gets its name is some 50 metres tall! The two 19ft yurts, Eilian and Seren, are equally beautiful and romantic. Eilian is a handpainted Mongolian ger, while Seren is a Turkmen yurt. Both are set on raised platforms, with a handmade kingsize bed, plus double and single futons, electric lighting, wind up lanterns, and a log burning stove. Outside you'll find a spring water tap, BBQ fire pit and seating. The treetop cabin is perched high on a wooded slope, with spectacular views overlooking the valley where its wood was sourced. The cabin sleeps three with a double bed and L-shaped day bed. There's also a fridge, log burner, coffee making facilities, and wooden walkway to your private and luxurious composting loo. Like the yurts, the cabin has a spring water tap, BBQ fire pit and seating - and you'll find total peace, relaxing in the hammock on the balcony and listening to the birds and babbling stream below. Dogs (except service dogs) are unfortunately not accepted. Firewood is provided for your log burner and campfire.
Redwood Valley is open from 29/03 to 02/11.
Guests share access to a superb woodland kitchen, with fridges, gas hobs, microwave, toaster and the like, as well as board games and books. Next to the kitchen is the site's bathroom facilities, with gas-heated shower, changing area and complimentary biodegradable shower gel, shampoo and conditioner.
All water comes from the site's own fresh spring, treated with UV to ensure that it's safe for drinking. Grey wastewater is managed through an underground soak-away. A composting loo is nearby, with a rainwater hand basin (the cabin has its own similar, private toilet). The town of Presteigne is a little under a mile away, with four pubs and an array of shops and eateries.

Lovely special place for a retreat. Private toilet, shower and washing up facilities. Silence and peace and an excellent barbecue just outside. David brought us a bag of charcoal. Fridge, coffee making facilities inside the cabin and a wonderful bed. Hammock was sublime. Another tick on my bucket list.

We had the greatest time in the Yurt. We happened to have the whole site to ourselves. The surrounding woods are wild and we regularly spotted some deer. If you are looking for a quiet place and enjoy a campfire, this is it. A wood kitchen with all the facilities you need. Hot shower and a brook for the kids to play in. David is a very friendly host and owner. You won't see him often, but he came to check now and then to see if all was okay. I would definitely recommend this.

Things to do on site and in the Presteigne area
The site has two nature trails to enjoy and its habitats support a diverse array of plant, insect and animal life.

Green woodworking, birdwatching and yoga courses run throughout the season according to demand. It's also possible to spend a romantic weekend making your own wedding rings! There's a huge rope swing and babbling brook to paddle in, and wild swimming just a short walk away on the river Lugg.
