Watch the sun go down with a glass of wine in our very comfortable chairs after a dip in the hot tub watching the stars come out. Hire our 4-person hot tub to unwind in secluded surroundings. Adults only. The hot tub is up at the main farm house (50 yards) on a private sun trap patio with table and chairs, plus a gas barbecue. All accommodation on the farm is non-smoking. Sorry no pets as we are a working farm.

The location is absolutely perfect for young children who will have the opportunity to see sheep, a few cows, calves in season, perhaps feed the pigs and play with the farm terrier called Sam.

The countryside in mid-Wales is truly stunning - walk to the top of the hills in the valley and watch the sun go down.
