A note from the site themselves...

We live in such a beautiful part of the world and wanted to share it with everyone, so set up our site. A hillside retreat nestled in the rolling hills run by the Jones family (Glyn, Lynne, Reece and Carrie), who have been farming at Great House farm since 1970.

We look to develop the site every year and this year you will be able to see new animals when you visit - our Jabob sheep and our donkeys - Pablo and Barney.

Glamping Pod - Wye Ensuite Glamping Pod with Hot Tub (Dog Friendly)Nov 2024

We arrived later than expected due to traffic but we still had a lovely welcome from Glyn who was very helpful. The view from the pods is beautiful and relaxing to look at, especially whilst sat in the cosy hot tub. The pod was immaculate and the beds were comfy. All appliances were spotless and the kitchen has everything you need. My daughter enjoyed seeing the donkeys and sheep. We had a lovely stay and we will definitely return, thank you!
