Our Retreat home
Our retreat home in the Olchon Valley is set amongst an ensemble of stone buildings housing six unique bedrooms each with green views and french linens. The collection of farm buildings date back to 15th century and have been lovingly restored to create a cosy, unique hideaway - perfect for us to recoup, nest and rest.
Key Features:
✺ Each cosy, cottage room has a private bathroom and unique traditional features
✺ The cottage is sat amidst 20 acres of its own land and woods
✺ Private use of wooden sauna plus outdoor hot tub and fire pit
✺ 3 open fires for cosying up with a blanket and a book
✺ Huge cinema room for film night
The location
Set off the Olchon Valley's Mountain Road in Herefordshire, this modern-rustic farmhouse commands soul-stirring views to the Brecon Beacons and Black Mountains on one side, and rolling Hereford countryside to the other.
We are in a secluded mountainside venue so although there is WIFI, reception is patchy so take advantage and switch off for a few days.
