Head down the lane into deepest Monmouthshire and the meadows, orchards and woodland of Teona’s organic farm. There are six ponds and miles of bushy hedges; bees, ponies, peafowl and wild flowers flourish. The 17th-century house, restored from dereliction, has lovely views, flagstones and oak, limewashed walls and a magical feel. Up steep stairs are rustic bedrooms with beams, lots of books, no TV; the attic rooms get the best views of all. Bathrooms are simple, one has a huge old roll top tub. After a good vegetarian breakfast at the long kitchen table take a farm tour, explore Offa’s Dyke or the Wye Valley – and enjoy the silence.
nice tranquil b&b in old farmhouse. peacocks in the garden and swallows under the roof. veggie breakfast. helpful owner.
