Wilding Wagon

2 Wonderful nights in the Wilding Wagon Newchuch. Great location. Beautifully restored railway goods wagon. Helpful hosts.

From the hosts communication before we arrived to the minute we left, the whole experience was perfect. The outside bath and location were amazing. We loved the log burner and found the cabin well equipped and comfortable. We had a good night's sleep. It was a lovely touch that the hosts left prosecco and chocolate for my husbands birthday. We loved the solitude and really enjoyed our stay.

A wonderful stay at the lovely Wilding Wagon, enjoying the surrounding countryside and numerous walks. Lis & Adam were excellent welcoming hosts, lots of suggestions of walks & helpful extras in the wagon. Nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast hamper served us over the 4 days & the hamper on arrival was full of lovely local goodies. No clear starry nights in the tub, instead a cosy fire & talking books for company, following 6-8 miles of walking each day in the Welsh spring rain. Very kind offer of a lift back to the Wagon from our hosts. Beautiful surroundings & very peaceful, perfect spot to unwind.

It was absolutely amazing. So many brilliant details and comforts. The location was brilliant and secluded, the views were amazing, the sunrise was amazing. The hosts were warm, friendly and welcoming. The outdoor bath was incredible.

A beautiful couple of days. Great attention to detail, from the top to the bottom. Wonderful hosts and an exceptional location.

It was amazing! Lis and Adam were so attentive. Adam even lugged my friends 10000kg suitcase up the hill for us, and they were available and on hand at all times if we had any trouble. Would definitely stay again, the wagon was very cute!

We needed a peaceful get away, and this place was perfect for just that. The place was amazing, and really unique, really well designed and constructed. The owners were really helpful, and there was some really nice local produce in the hamper.

We recently stayed at the Wilding Wagon for two nights, the only major downfall being that we hadn't booked for the whole week! We're busy parents with a young baby at home and we had the best time, simply unwinding. The wagon provided the perfect space for some escapism. On arrival we were greeted warmly by Adam who explained the ins and outs of the features in the wagon as well as some "things to do" locally. When we got to the wagon there was a fantastic hamper full of goodies (Our vegan diet catered to), the wagon has been beautifully finished, the log burner a welcome feature with the temperature hitting -2 outside! We spent our time walking sections of Offa's Dyke, accessible within a couple of minutes walk from the wagon we saw plenty of wildlife, including red kites and a highlight was definitely stargazing in the wood fired bath tub (very much recommended), nothing was too much trouble for our hosts, providing extra logs within a few minutes of being asked. Thank you so much for welcoming us to your beautiful wagon. We miss the peace and quiet already!

It was wonderful, we found the accommodation to be everything we hoped it would be. The spot itself was secluded and romantic, the converted carriage was very well done and it was clear the comfort of those stayed had been well considered.

Spent a lovely three nights at the Wagon in late November. The space is amazing, very well done and has everything we need. We had a hard frost but the wood burner kept us warm, the view was beautiful.

We had an amazing time staying at the Wilding Wagon. Situated in a beautiful and secluded location with amazing dark skies. Liz and Adam have done an amazing job restoring the wagon, it was very comfortable, beautifully decorated and we kept warm during the cold November days and evenings with the log fire. The welcome hamper was a beautiful touch, they really have thought of everything! They recommended walks nearby and had ideas of places to visit and eat throughout our weekend. We had a lovely weekend of relaxing and enjoying the beautiful scenery. We hope to return again in the future, and are excited to see how the wilding project progresses.

The most wonderful weekend in the hills at the Wilding Wagon. A lovely welcome when we arrived, a trolley for our luggage and then walking up to the converted goods wagon was just breathtaking. Close enough to our host's house and the road to be convenient but a feeling of complete seclusion when you are at the wagon up on the hill in front of a coppice with an amazing view down the valley. Beautifully converted inside and out with astonishing and stylish attention to detail in the original rail themed fittings but also everything you could possibly need for a few days away. The cute hamper provided was full of amazing local products that were so handy and the kitchen was fully equipped. Large, comfortable bed for a restful night's sleep in almost complete silence with fabulous bathroom, shower and lovely toiletries provided. Climbing into the outdoor wood-heated bath and watching the stars was the most incredible thing to do each evening, and there was sufficient wood and firefighters provided to fire this up for 3 nights along with the cosy indoor wood-burner. This place is even better than it looks and really has to be seen to be believed, I can't recommend it enough!

WOW!! That was our first reaction when we got to the Wagon. You are totally in your own space and secluded. Surrounded by green fields, trees and sheep. The Wagon is truly amazing. Just what you need for a relaxing time away. The outdoor bath was amazing. We had one night where it rained while we were using the outdoor bath. With the outdoor lights it was truly romantic and peaceful. This has to be the best anniversary weekend away. We didn't want to leave. Adam and Liz are so friendly and helpful. From the time of booking this weekend away for our anniversary Liz sent me multiple links to local cake makers ans balloon makers. The Royal Oak Pub in Gadsby (a 6 minute drive away) was a proper small English pub with bags of character. If you are looking for a romantic and totally relaxing weekend or week away, this is the place to go. 10/10 for everything

Wilding Wagon was the perfect getaway. A secluded (out of view) place with beautiful scenery surrounding. The wagon was done to a high spec. The bed was very comfortable. The wood fired bath was a real treat with views across the valley from the bath. The hamper was lovely and the owners made thoughtful changes to cater for dietary requirements. The countryside is beautiful with good walks, Offas Dyke runs through the village. We didn’t really want to leave the place because it was so relaxing. We took a 3 month old baby and it worked well for us, there was room for our baby kit. Adem and Lis made useful and considerate communication before we arrived. We loved it and would highly recommend it. We visited Hergest Croft on the day we left and would recommend that also.

We absolutely loved our time at the Wilding Wagon. Adam and Lis have gone above and beyond to make sure everything has been thought of for an incredibly peaceful stay. As soon as you make your way up the path through the wildflower meadow, you feel completely on your own and away from everything else - we loved how secluded it felt. The welcome hamper is incredible and a truly special treat to arrive to after a long journey. The bed is hands-down the comfiest I've ever slept in and we especially loved sitting in the hot tub, watching the stars and the bats zooming overhead. Thank you!

A perfect couple of days ! The wilding wagon, the views, the outside bath … gorgeous.

We had the best time staying at Adam and Lis' Wilding Wagon. We were staying for my birthday and felt really looked after. The cabin is in a really tranquil spot in a rewilded meadow, with a beautiful view that is even more impressive in person than in the photos. We had been left a hamper of goodies to enjoy which they emailed ahead about to check dietary requirements and sorted me out as a vegan with some really tasty bits. We left quite reluctantly but felt like we had a really good break. We will be recommending the Wilding Wagon to friends and family and look at hopefully coming back again.

The location was amazing, the facilities were great nothing missing at all and a lovely hamper on arrival filled with a great selection

I had a lovely stay at the Wagon. It was just what I needed and felt refreshed and relaxed waking up with fantastic views and birdsong every morning. The hosts have done an amazing job with the carriage and it had everything you would want/need and it is in its own private space. They even provided a lovely hamper with vegan goodies which I really appreciated. It is also in a great location; I walked the Offa's Dyke path to Hay On Wye and back, and drove out to the Elan Valley which has some amazing walks and scenery.

Our stay at Wilding Wagon was magical, we knew it would be incredible but we're blown away by just how lovely it was. The accommodation is stunning, and the small finishing touches made it feel so luxurious. Adam and Lis really did go above and beyond to ensure we did not want for anything, including leaving hot water bottles by the bed, several cosy blankets, a huge stack of firewood, and a lovely welcome hamper full of local goodies. The bed was super comfortable, the wood fired outdoor bath was a very special addition, and the bathroom was of a really high quality - not what you would always expect in a stay of this sort. Overall we would highly recommend, in fact we didn't want to leave!!!

Had such a lovely time at the Wilding Wagon. What a gorgeous place, so well thought through. Adam and Lis are great hosts and the welcome hamper was a really nice touch. Would definitely recommend.

The wilding wagon is such a well thought out space. The train carriage has been lovingly restored and renovated, with quality decor and attention to detail. The bed is very comfortable with quality bedding. The location is perfect and feels very peaceful and secluded, with amazing views from every aspect. The outdoor bath is real treat, especially on a wet windy January evening.

We had a wonderful weeks stay in the Wilding Wagon! It was the first week of January so it was a bit rainy, but that didn't put a negative on the week in the slightest! The location is beautiful wether you're out walking ( fantastic 360° views from the top of the hill) or just sitting in the cosy wagon looking out at the scenery and nature. There were lots of pretty birds, an adorable little fox and the most beautiful rainbows. The place is so beautifully converted and spotlessly clean and tidy. The hot tub is an absolute treat, amazing to get in just at the end of the day and stay there until it gets dark and stargaze. Liz and Adam both made us feel very welcome and they were easy to reach out to if we needed anything, but to be honest everything was so well thought out we didn't really need to. There was such a beautiful hamper upon our arrival too, filled with local treats and the best croissants ever! Such a thoughtful touch and it made us feel very spoilt indeed! I genuinely couldn't recommend this place enough, if anyone is after a quiet getaway this is exactly the place. Stunning x

We booked the Wilding Wagon as a new year getaway, drawn in by the remote location with the luxury of an outdoor tub. This wagon is amazing!! It's on its own on the hillside so was very peaceful. Beautiful details made this a slice of luxury too - the wagon has been refurbished to an incredibly high standard, plus there was the hamper full to the brim with local goodies, an outdoor tub and cosy towel robes to wear, a log burner, a huge comfy bed, etc. We explored the local footpaths - including following owner Adam's recommendation to walk to the pub in Gladestry for lunch (excellent idea!). Also enjoyed sitting and gazing at the view from by the fire and from in the tub. The rewilding in the meadow is fabulous and we got the chance to see lots of bullfinches hopping around (I've always wanted to see one, but was treated to seeing four!). Adam and Lis are lovely hosts and we hope to be back someday!

We loved every minute of our stay. The wagon was beautifully planned, restored and kept, everything we needed for an autumn break. The surrounding countryside a perfect setting to unwind and relax and during the evenings we enjoyed stargazing from the outside bath. The welcome hamper was one to be proud of. We’ve been to places before where the promised hampers were disappointing and not as described but this one was packed with local goodies to enjoy. We’d happily return again.

Wilding Wagon was everything we could have wished for and more. The hosts Adam and Lis were incredible, friendly, open and kind. Wilding Wagon provided style and comfort and we wanted for nothing (aside from a few more days) We loved watching the neighbouring farmer , at 5pm every evening checking on and feeding his sheep, the glorious sunrises and the adventurous walks, right on the doorstep. We had the best time, pausing, relaxing, enjoying each others company, as well as the nature around us and resetting for the remainder of the year. We cannot wait to return to this tiny slice of heaven. Our words cannot describe what you need to experience first hand.

We spent our mini-moon at the wilding wagon and are so happy that we did. The train carriage has been lovingly restored and has everything you could possibly need. Adam & Lis were amazing hosts who were very attentive while respecting our privacy. Adam was even kind enough to give us a lift into town, which helped us out massively. The location is idyllic and secluded set amongst dramatic rolling hills. The views out the window and walking around are breath taking. It was a fantastic reset and recharge for a couple of city dwellers. Lastly, we must mention the outdoor Scandinavian bath, what a wonderful addition to relax and take in the staggering night sky - we could see the milky way. Just go, you will not regret it.

We had a beautful stay, our hosts were very friendly and the wagon was gorgeous, secluded and with great views from our window.

A lovely two days in beautiful surroundings. An idyllic location with total seclusion where you can just sit and relax and happily do nothing. There is lots of wildlife and beautiful walks on the doorstep. The wagon is a delight; lovingly restored and well equipped. Really the most fantastic place I have stayed in.

This was my first canopy and stars stay, after wanting one for the longest time, and it did not disappoint. Wilding wagon had everything I could have needed and more! The fire and hot tub was set up ready for me to light, there was a lovely hamper with local goodies in and not to mention the croissants, which I thought was a lovely touch. If you’re looking for somewhere nice and secluded this is definitely the place for you, there is nobody around so it was a perfect place for me to unwind from my busy life and just read a book. The hosts were lovely and in touch prior to my stay with information and made themselves available to me had I needed to ask anything. I will definitely return here, loved everything about it so thank you!

We had a fantastic stay at the Wilding Wagon. it really is a unique, wonderful experience in a gorgeous location . The hosts really cared about the place and that we had a good experience. We were delighted with our stay

An amazing opportunity to stay in a converted railway wagon. Adam and Lis made us feel so welcome with such attention to detail including the complimentary hamper. We loved learning about the restoration of the carriage and were swept away with the tranquility of the location.

I’m not even exaggerating when I say I burst into happy tears when we arrived at this cabin! The attention to detail that the hosts have put into this beautiful refurbished train carriage is incredible, we had everything we could have needed and more and the space itself feels like home immediately. My partner and I are both vegan and we were so touched that our hosts had gone to the effort of making our welcome hamper fully vegan and to be greeted with a bottle of vegan Prosecco and chocolates too was a dream! The cabin itself is tucked away in a beautiful wild flower meadow and the views are stunning, we really enjoyed watching the moon rise over the horizon from the outdoor bath every night and we honestly didn’t want to leave!

Perfect, simply perfect. Adam and Lis are great hosts. The wagon is as described - luxurious and every detail paid attention to. It is nice and secluded up on a hill with amazing views of the valley and the only sounds are sheep, bees and birds. It is kitted out with everything you need, and lovely extra touches such as local goodies in the welcome hamper, a lovely waterfall shower and wood for the burner, firepit and outdoor bath. Special mention to the bee experience run by the hosts son Fletcher - well worth doing.

Adam & Lis are welcoming hosts and we had a lovely stay in the wagon! The outdoor bath was our top highlight, and the design of the wagon was cosy, stylish and well equipped. Immaculately clean, private, and amongst beautiful wildflower meadow. Highly recommend!

We just loved the Wilding Wagon and its location. Close to Hay on Way and yet located in a private field with superb views across the valleys. The Wagon itself has been converted with such love and attention and we could honestly have stayed much longer.

we arrived on a lovely sunny afternoon and were greeted with friendly welcome. our train carriage was private and spacious. it had everything one would need plus a welcome hamper. the ability to cook the first night after such a big drive was great, everything was provided in terms of cooking implements and the things you don’t want to pack like salt and oil. we wanted for nothing.

We had a great stay at Wilding Wagon, as it was so tranquil and we loved the outdoor wood-fired bath.

Just us inside and the sheep and lambs outside. An awe inspiring, most unusual conversion with all modern amenities whilst retaining the fascinating heritage features, run by the lovely Lis and Adam, and all in a great location just yards from Offa’s Dyke.

I had an absolutely magical stay at the Wilding Wagon. I especially loved the wood-fired outdoor bathtub and the re-wilding that the owners are doing in the surrounding fields. The location is hard to beat, particularly as it's so close to Hay-on-Wye and all its bookshops. What made this a stand out stay though were the owners of the Wilding Wagon. I didn't have a car and arrived by train. They picked me up from the station (I offered to pay for the pick up but they wouldn't hear of it!). Not only that, but they gave me lifts everywhere! It was more than I could ever have anticipated or asked for - I was expecting to just take the bus or hike places. But they were very keen to make sure I had the best stay! I was truly blown away by their kindness and welcome, and loved chatting to them.

First time using this website and I can honestly say I am not disappointed! The little mountain wagon was so CUTE! The owners, Liz and Adam are lovely and couldn't have been nicer. Adam showed me how to get the wood fired hot tub going and supplied with me with good chat and banter! Even educated me on some interesting topics I didn't think about before. Such a lovely couple. I will 100% be back here if I am ever down south again. I loved it. The bed was incredible. The most comfortable bed Iv slept in, in a long time. Another brilliant point is that liz and Adam are eco friendly so there is reduced plastic in the wagon. There is shampoo bar and soap, glass jar with milk, reusable freezer bag, compost toilet. My partner and I loved every minute of it. Only advise I'd give future guests is that bring your fluffy socks and pajamas and house coats as it does get cold during the night. However liz and Adam supply hot water bottles and an electric heater. Also has a fire place which is nice and cosy.

Converted Wagon in a beautiful part of Wales. Wished we had booked for three nights instead of two! Just prefect place, warm, cosy and restful.

We had a superb stay at Wilding Wagon. We were greeted by Lis on arrival and shown how to get to the Wagon. The trolley made moving our bags etc very easy! The wagon is very well laid out and has everything that we needed for our little break. The views from the Wagon are simply outstanding from all angles… our favourite though has to be from the dining table where you can eat whilst watching the scenery (and watching the lambs playing!). The outside wood fired bath is great and we enjoyed watching the snow fall whilst keeping warm in the bath. The kitchen is well equipped and has everything you need and the welcome hamper is an excellent touch. The hosts were very welcoming and easy to get hold of (thank you for the birthday chocolates and Prosecco!!). We’re already looking for dates to come back!

We had a lovely stay with everything we needed for a couple of days in the countryside.

Absolutely amazing stay the last few days…. Lis and Adam couldn’t be more welcoming, their carriage is stunning, something to be very proud of. We had everything we need and more. The carriage is in a perfect location if you just want to switch off and relax. Extremely comfortable and cosy. Would highly recommend!!

Our stay at the Wilding Wagon was just absolutely perfect! We wanted a much needed get away to the middle of no where, where we could switch off our phones and just chill… and that’s exactly what we did! Lisa and Adam have kitted out the Wagon with everything you need (as well as the most comfiest bed!) and they were super lovely when greeting us. They have thought about everything you could need and the quirky little touches were lovely - hamper, frozen croissants, milk, toiletries etc! The setting is beautiful and we loved watching the lambs bouncing about in the fields and enjoyed a walk to the hills in the distance. There’s nothing I could suggest for them to improve it, just perfect!

Lis and Adam have created a beautiful, secluded, and restful space in their Wilding Wagon. Luxurious but with bags of character. We've come away with loads of inspiration for our own eco-build. The area is great, especially if you like hiking. Water-Break-Its-Neck waterfall was an unexpected gem. Visiting Hay-on-Wye on a market day is an additional treat.

This was a dream getaway. Lis and Adam could not have been more welcoming and helpful with excellent communication during and prior to our stay. The wagon is fantastic with a really luxurious feel. The welcome hamper and other extras really made it special. The location and views are breath-taking and we had a great walk on Offa's Dyke path over the hills to a well deserved lunch in the Royal Oak. The remoteness and peacefulness of the location added to it's appeal. The wagon has been beautifully restored and converted and we will certainly look to booking again. Oh and the outdoor heated bath is a joy!!! Thanks again Adam and Lis for a fabulous break.

Had a fabulous stay. Can’t say enough good things about this place - from the thoughtful little touches like the ‘necessities box’ and the welcome hamper, to the great walk recommendations and warm welcome. Adam and Lis clearly love this place and are really proud of it - as they should be. They make it feel really special

Lovely hosts, beautiful location and an amazing stay. Have already been recommending to friends.

The Wow Factor! Warm, welcoming hosts, a beautifully restored carriage set in an outstanding position. The thought and attention to detail that Lis and Adam have gone to is evident from the moment you pull up outside. We spent a wonderful couple of days and wish we could have stayed longer!

It was probably our favourite canopy and stars place we’ve stayed in. There was so many small touches which made it perfect. The log burner, hot water bottles and blankets made it really snug and was very relaxing. The welcome hamper was very sweet too.

This was one of the best weekends away I've ever had in my life. I'm struggling with the death of my sister, who we lost recently, and so I wanted to get away from all the upset and stress of the funeral planning, and this was the perfect place to do so.

What a gorgeous place to stay! This was our first break since starting our business and Lis and Adam provided us with the perfect place to escape to! The wagon is beautifully restored and has everything you could want, we went when the weather was a tad on the snowy side which made the outdoor wood heated bath even more magical and the wagon itself is super snug with its wood burner! The communication from Lis was easy & helpful, I had mentioned that we were interested in doing a bit of walking whilst we were there and when we arrived she gave us some maps for recommended routes which was so thoughtful! We ended up going up Pen y Fan in the end which wasn’t all that far away and the wagon was the perfect place to relax afterwards. You can tell a lot of thought and heart has gone into the whole thing, from the local hamper of goodies down to the placement of the wagon, it’s a spectacular sunrise from the breakfast table out front and it feels like your own little world up there! Thank you so much for having us, we couldn’t recommend it more!

The carriage has bags of charm and comfort and Adam and Lis have gone to great lengths to keep its historic character. We visited in pretty grim weather, which made reclining in the wood-fired bath under inhospitable skies all the more enjoyable. Perfectly positioned on their private hillside, looking forward to going again to see how the owners’ tree-planting and re-wilding progresses and of course to catch a clear sky, valley sunrise!
