Set on a 100-acre estate of vineyards, wildflower meadows, and rolling pastures outside Monmouth, this farmhouse is an ideal countryside escape. Three distinct terraces ensure there's plenty of space to soak up the fresh air – a fire pit is included for cooler evenings. Our favourite is the rooftop boasting valley views worth lingering over. Inside, exposed beams, a log burner, and a roll-top bathtub lend the place real rustic warmth. Two bedrooms overlook the vines, and the estate's resident kestrels, deer, and tawny owls mean the grounds are worth exploring slowly. Tintern Abbey is a thirty-minute drive when you fancy a day out.

Home truths
This is a working farm and vineyard, so you may see staff in the vineyards and around the estate buildings during your stay. The agricultural yard and farm buildings behind the villa are not accessible to you, and a public footpath runs through the grounds, so you may encounter walkers in the fields.
The grounds include steep steps both indoors and outdoors, as well as an open stream – if you're travelling with young children, you'll want to keep a close eye on them when they're outside.
Your host can provide a cot and high chair for little ones upon request – just bring your own cot linen.
Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There's designated parking for three to four cars.

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...
