About this farm stay rental

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS LISTING ONLY SHOWS AVAILABILITY FOR THE DAIRY.

THESE PROPERTIES MAY BE AVAILABLE, PLEASE SEARCH THE INDIVIDUAL LISTING FOR ‘WERN-Y-CWM FARM’ OR CONTACT US.
ALL PROPERTIES ARE BOOKED IN LINE WITH OUR IN HOUSE T&Cs. PAYMENTS ARE TAKEN THROUGH VRBO. ALL PROPERTIES ARE CLEVERLY SECLUDED WITH THEIR OWN PRIVATE FACILITIES AND GARDENS.

This Stunning conversion of the extensive Wern-y-Cwm Farm dairy, piggery and cow sheds creates a spacious 6 bedroom home. Situated in 30 acres of farmland managed using organic methods and set high on the edges of the Skirrid Mountain with far reaching views yet only 7 minutes drive from Abergavenny.

The spacious open plan kitchen/dining room is well fitted out to cater for family meals around a large dinning table (seats 12). An extra little table may be set for 4 children, if the house is booked to maximum capacity (16).

A double faced wood burning stove leads into the sitting room/TV room. With plenty of space for the whole group to join conversations around the fire, or play family games found in the large cupboard. A smart TV is set at the far end of the room for cosy films or to keep the children entertained as their parents continue their conversations over a long meal next door.

With eclectic décor featuring up-cycled and carefully restored and re-upholstered furniture, this eco-heated property has been restored and extended sympathetically to retain the character of the buildings.

The 6 double or twin bedrooms sleep up to 12 in comfort, with the option of adding 4 extra small guests on pull-out or z-beds for children.

The house has a large enclosed walled garden formed from the previous cattle yard to the front, with outdoor seating for up to 16 people. It has the great advantage of the "Captains Cave", a covered open barn with a full sized table tennis table, exercise bike, treadmill, fridge, BBQ, fire pit service and hot tub (wood and hot tub at an additional charge). Parents can enjoy sitting outside in confidence that their children or dogs are safely enclosed.

To the rear of the house is a lawned area (ideal for ball games) merging into a wooden area and access into the fields on up to the mountain top. This area is ideal for older children or adults to explore, enjoy playing and relaxing.

Two of the bedroom suites have private outdoor terraces and seating areas, which are great for grandparents or work colleagues who need a little private time during the stay.

Wern-y-Cwm Farm is a huge historic farmstead dating from the 16th century. It was the home of Captain Thomas James, who sailed to discover the North West Passage in the reign of King Charles I, funded by the Bristol Society of Merchant Venturers. It remains a private home but has been converted into well spread out holiday lets, creative, yoga or business retreat centre accommodation around the cathedral sized barn - ideal for yoga, meetings/training or a banquet. Set in 30 acres of stunning farmland bordering the Skirrid Mountain National Park, the fields and hedgerows are teaming with wildflowers and wildlife.

Cook with herbs from the abundant garden, or try out some of the home grown veg (upon request in season), enjoy a good game of table tennis or soak stress away in the hot tub (suitable for up to 6, by requests at additional charge). It is a short walk through the fields to reach the mountain - you can be on top of the world with views over six counties in 35 minutes.

If of interest we can send you links to numerous amazing local food producers, and we offer an electric car charging point (by pre-booking), so that you may enjoy a truly low carbon holiday, business or sporting retreat. From Summer 2024 a large new natural swimming pool/pond will be available for use by all the properties (all going well with the winter landscaping). From Summer 2024 our new communal natural swimming pool / pond should be available for use by our guests.

My friends and I stayed on my wedding weekend. The property was perfect and clean, with a good garden space as well. The host was always friendly when communicating. Just be careful when trying to get there and not ending up in someone else's farm like we did!

The Dairy was absolutely perfect for our stay. Couldn't have asked for a better property or location. Immaculate, bright and colourful, with a lovely garden and hot tub. We played skittles on the lawn and had a table tennis tournament. We had a lovely pamper and movie night. We did a beautiful walk up the Skirrid, and was blown away by the views and the amazing weather we had in October, we got sunburnt! Kitchen was perfect for the amount of people we had, and had everything we needed. Can't recommend this lovely place enough. Thank you Emily, Colin and Sue for sharing this place. Xxx

The property was converted from a dairy barn and had kept many lovely old features.... we were impressed by the standard of the conversion and the layout worked really well.

Had a fantastic two days with our team spread across two houses. Location was stunning and we particularly enjoyed the views and outside spaces. The host team were all very friendly and helpful and we were really glad we took their advice to walk from the house to the top of Skirrid Fawr which shouldn't be missed.

Beautifully decorated house with plenty of quality space. To be able to walk to the Skirrid mountain from the house is a bonus.

Location: great. House: clean Pre-arrival process: way over the top, sent me an extensive list of quite aggressive T&Cs several months after I’d already booked. This doesn’t make one feel welcome before arrival. Various issues with the property whilst there: the fire alarm for the whole building went off 3 times for no reason. This takes away from the tranquil external environment!
