“This location was ideal for our intended purposes..... which were unfortunately not realised due to the virus scare kicking in whilst we were there. Neverthless we had a delightful stay in an amazing place with views over the Welsh Countryside. Excellent reading material, and first class sheep to be counted! Thank you, Tim - we will meet again - as Vera used to sing! Ideally placed for visiting family, but cannot at this point in time. ”

About our home
Newly built open plan wing of our Welsh farmhouse with fabulous views over a hidden valley. We are easily reached from the M48 old Severn Bridge and so within easy striking distance of Bristol and Cardiff. There are greats walks nearby, historic castles, ancient woodlands and the Brecon Beacons to explore.
The accommodation is open plan and includes an ensuite bedroom and a mezzanine double bedroom. Downstairs there is a combined living area with solid oak floors, wood pellet burner fire, fully equipped slate tiled kitchen and bathroom with underfloor heating. There is also a huge conservatory and a hot tub on the secluded patio outside.

Tim's reviews
As a host (4)“Tim and Jessica’s home is indeed a gem. Set in idyllic countryside it is very peaceful. The view across the valley is just beautiful. The home is very comfortable and well equipped. Monmouth, Brecon Beacons and Abergavenny are easily reached. Tim and Jessica were fabulous hosts. ”
“Very relaxing home in a beautiful setting and lovely hosts. Highly recommended.”
“We have spent a great holidays at this delightful farm, a very clean, cozy and comfy house ( so nice that perhaps I should say "home" instead of "house"...) located in an idylic sorrounding and very near from a lot of the turistic areas: Cardiff, Brecon Beacons, Gower, Caerphylli.... The smiling Tim and the sweet Jessica are the most lovely hosts somebody can find, helpful, friendly, alert for their guests's well-being. I definitively recommend Tim and Jessica place. ”

Where is it?
Neighbourhood
Although our tiny (10 acre) farm has an address of the small village of Shirenewton, it's actually about a mile from the village. We overlook a lovely valley with the Mounton Brook flowing through it, and it's very quiet and peaceful - although the birdsong can get a bit lively. You will definitely need a car to get here but if you fancy doing some walking there are loads of opportunites. Be aware that mobile phone signal here is very patchy but we do have reasonable broadband.
