Stay locally and make a weekend (or week) of it; there’s so much to see and do!
With Offa’s Dyke and the Three Castles Walk running through the farm and the Brecon Beacons on our doorstep, this is a mecca for walkers, castle-spotters and lovers of the great outdoors.
Or if you fancy something a little more indulgent, there’s always The Walnut Tree, 1861, The Crown at Whitebrook, The Bell at Skenfrith or The Hardwick – to name just a few of our local eateries (Michelin stars a-plenty!)
So why not take some “you” time to relax, explore and recharge your batteries? Here’s just a selection of our great local accommodation:
Clare’s Cottage, Bryn-Y-Gwenin – owned by Jim’s sister Clare and surrounded by the fields of our other family farm, Skirrid, you’ll get fabulous views of the Skirrid Mountain from here.
