Bed & Breakfast
April to October
The Victorian farm guesthouse has a comfortable sitting room with log fire, and you'll be happy to know we are completely TV and phone signal free. This gives you a chance for quiet relaxation, book reading or happy banter about the days' exploits. In the dining room we serve country-style home cooking, hearty breakfasts, three course evening meals for groups of three or more, as well as provide packed lunches for your following day riding walking and exploring.
Each bedroom is en-suite with tea and coffee making facilities. We offer private parking and there is local transport available by arrangement.
The nearest town is the interesting and well known book town of Hay-on-Wye. It has a castle recently opened by King Charles himself as well as a fascinating history. Further out at the market town of Abergavenny there is a larger selection of shops, train station and also a leisure centre and swimming pool. Both towns have cinemas and great restaurants. There are many castles and places of interest to visit all around.

GLAMPING
- All Year Round -
We have two very simple glamping pods with different heating set-ups and depending on availability, you would be welcome to choose whichever one you like best.
One is called the Shepherds Hut and is pictured here. It has a double and a single bed in, and a wood burning fire inside. The other we call the Glamping Pod has a king-size double bed in, a little electric heater inside, chest of draws and a table.
Both have bedding included, access to close parking, a campfire, compost loo and benches outside. As well as running water, a toilet and shower block, 2 minutes away at reception.
The mountain ridges soar around you on all sides, and there are lots of birds and wildlife. A truly amazing place to wake in the morning!! Full cooked breakfast and packed lunches are available extras too.
CAMPING
- All Year Round -
We are very happy to give cubs, brownies, guides and scouts a fabulous time, confidence building and learning new skills. This can be enjoyed with an overnight camp under the starts. We are pleased to be able to provide a separate campsite, if necessary, for guides, scouts, Duke of Edinburgh expeditions and hen/stag parties. However, always keep in mind you've got another option – shepherd’s huts and sleeping pods are available for leaders, assessors or those not wishing to camp!

REVIEWS AND TESTIMONIALS
Nigel B
Back in the saddle, booked and off we went, a great 2 hours and scenery worth the trek up the hillside. Staff are great and friendly, patience with first timers as well.
Rob Loxton
Epic ride over the mountains on some crazy 4x4 horses. Sarah was an excellent guide. Bit nippy in the shade but once up on the mountain it was bright and sunny. Beautiful landscape.
Ciprian Negoescu
Lovely place and lovely people and the instructors were so nice about the horse riding, I am definitely returning sooner or later. Thank you so much for the brilliant service guys
