Tucked into the hills near Chepstow and surrounded by a working dairy farm, this countryside escape blends rustic charm with easygoing luxury. Made up of a cosy shepherd's hut and an elegant farmhouse, it’s a thoughtful setup for families or friends. There are three bedrooms across the two buildings, with open-plan living spaces, soft linens, and warm, characterful design throughout. Spend your days walking local trails or exploring the Wye Valley, then return for long dinners, log fires, and starlit soaks in a hot tub. With farm-fresh treats on hand and views in every direction, this place is designed to help you fully switch off.

Home truths
This is a pet-free property. But, the host’s friendly farm dogs, Dave and Jessie, may be spotted along the farm road.
If you’d like the second bedroom set up as a super-king, please contact the host at least seven days before arrival.
The dining table inside the farmhouse seats four, while the outdoor table at the cabin seats two, something to keep in mind for group meals.
Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay.
This property is set on a working farm, so you may notice increased activity at certain times of year, particularly in spring during calving season.
For security, CCTV monitors the farm’s access track, but not the property itself.
Bike storage is available at your own risk. You'll need to request this in advance. Please note that E-bikes cannot be stored inside the property.
Your host is happy to take you on a tour of the farm. You'll need to request this in advance.

About The Forest of Dean
Named England’s first National Forest Park in 1938, the Forest of Dean is the country’s oldest oak woodland, stretching across Gloucestershire and along the River Wye. Originally a medieval hunting ground for Henry VIII, the forest boasts a rich and varied history, sourcing timber for Tudor warships and housing iron and coal mines in Victorian times. Today, the forest is back to its natural state, a lush and peaceful adventure...
