Was really looking forward to this break away from it all with my partner. Booked our break in June '22 for May '23. Put down a deposit and received my confirmation. When it came time to pay the rest of the money I found out that the caravans were not being let out at all. No one got in touch with me to tell me this , I had to find it out for myself. Had to find alternative accommodation for the same dates elsewhere.

Let’s start with the positives; Idyllic rural location in the nature A lot of potential to become something very special Waggons are spread out and have outdoor privacy Ok here’s the “room for improvement” Better signage for the accommodation so you know where to turn off the lane and park, and where you are supposed to check in. Initial check-in greeting was very indifferent and not warm, no service with a smile. Waggon was run down hasn’t seen a broom or cloth in a long time, it looked so sad and neglected. Outside dining table not wiped clean, hammock covered in nature’s debris, outside fire pit still greasy pan from previous guests. We felt like we were not welcome. The self-compost toilet was an absolute disgrace (poo & paper from previous guests) the toilet cabin had not seen a brush in a long time, full of cobwebs. I know we are in the nature but honestly it’s all about maintenance and keeping on top of things. For £120 a night i would expect that whatever outside facilities are being offered should at least be useable upon arrival and not looking like noone has cleaned anything in months or not cleaned from previous guests. We were so disappointed because this was part of our one week summer holiday we decided not to stay as we would not be able to relax and feel comfortable. We had already paid up front so we didn’t feel guilty for leaving without staying for at least one night, and i was too upset to get into a debate with the owner about asking for a partial refund. We stayed in a hotel down the road instead. The fact that we were the only ones staying in peak summer season also gave us a hint that this place has probably seen better days. The website creates a wonderful outdoor nature paradise expectation but the reality is very different to the photos on the website. Such a shame ! We were so looking forward to it and in the right hands this little place could be wonderful……

My family and I booked out the site for two nights at the start of July. Let me start by saying that it’s a lovely spot and the gypsy wagons are very beautiful. But, as some other reviews have mentioned, it is not very clean and pretty rundown. The toilets in particular were unsanitary, with old dried pop on them, and my wife’s one was partially blocked with toilet paper and poo. We are used to compost toilets, but this was not remotely sanitary. Anyway, my daughter got very sick after the first night, and whilst we can’t be 100% sure whether this was from the facilities, it’s seemed very likely. She was so ill I booked my wife, daughter and the baby into a nearby hotel for there second night instead. I wrote to the owner prior to leaving this review to ask for a partial refund for that night, and he was quite unpleasant about it. So, all in all, a real shame, as with some more care and cleaning it could be lovely.…

We had a lovely, relaxing 3 nights at Wriggles Brook. We stayed in the windows and doors caravan, which was super cosy, and with lots of hidden cupboards and clever storage- and a small electric radiator for when it gets cold at night. Everything nice and clean. Loved the campfire - which we used morning and evening - the swing and the proximity to the babbling brook. Our hosts Justin and Sarah (and Fred the Labrador) were perfect hosts. Breakfasts were huge and delicious (loved the local bacon and Stornaway black pudding). Also, always listen to Justin's advice on great places to eat. This was our first proper getaway since lockdown and it didn't disappoint.

this was our last stop of our trip, which we were so looking forward to. booked two nights. Arrived and was given flask of milk and returned with two bags of butter, coffee sugar and jams. went to make a cup of tea and the cups were old and dirty. i took them back and were left two clean ones plus a bottle of wine. we then opened a drawer to put our things in and it was full of old jams and milks etc. Unfortunately it looked shabby and unkempt with wood falling off the wall. the banister was wobbly and did not feel safe going up and down. there was no lock on the door. Went for a meal and decided we did not want to stay and had we not had a drink we would have left. the outside had not been cleaned from previous people with potatoes strewn around the camp fire. Got up at five and left after one night. never again. did not live up to pictures.…

Response from Wriggles Brook, Owner at Wriggles Brook Gypsy Wagon B&B
Responded 18 Sept 2020
Sorry you didn't enjoy your stay but your perceived experience is so different to 99% of our guests. The rail on the steps is rubber mounted as the wagon is on leaf spring suspension and therefore would shear if clamped to the wagon. I'm sorry you couldn't easily get into the bed, most people find it ok. Any reason you were rude to the staff in the prub?

Had a very relaxing long weekend. Hosts were very attentive, breakfast sets you up very well for the day. Fire pit for those who love to just sit and relax of an evening is a bonus. I slept like a log every night I was there, woke up to bird song which made me want to stay longer.

Nothing like I would normally choose to be honest but I’ve had an obsession with gypsy wagons since I was a kid , really quirky and fun with such lovely hosts including Fred the dog , such a beautiful , peaceful setting alongside a pretty brook . The wagon was comfortable I was totally fascinated by it all unfortunately I didn’t sleep well but I never do ,the owner kindly left me lavender products had a fantastic breakfast sat outside .which they kindly bring to you . The showers were great , very clean . A lovely pub just a short walk away The New Harp and The Lough pool a bit further but worth the walk . We were booked in for 2 nights but ended up going home after 1 as I wasn’t feeling great ( over indulged 60th birthday celebrations ) will defo return . Highly recommend going into Ross on Wye and doing the Hoerwithy circular walk which the hosts printed out for us sadly we had to cut short as I was feeling ropey 🤔🤣…

A short drive from the breath-taking landscape of the Wye Valley this idyllic little place is extraordinary. Quirky, gypsy caravans offer an opportunity for a delightful short break in a magnificent wooded, tranquil setting in beautiful countryside. Good pub,serving great food a short (10mins) walk away.Excellent breakfast is provided the hosts Justin and Sarah who could not be more accommodating and obliging. Well worth a visit!
