Church Hill Farm

A large countryside farmhouse for groups near Monmouth

Church Hill Farm is a spacious self-catering farmhouse set in its own land just outside Monmouth, in the beautiful lower Wye Valley. Sleeping up to nine across four bedrooms and welcoming dogs, it makes a superb base for a larger family or a group of friends who want space, peace and proper countryside — with the historic market town of Monmouth and the attractions of the Wye Valley close at hand.

The farmhouse

The house has four bedrooms — a mix of double, full and twin rooms — and three bathrooms, sleeping up to nine in comfort. Dating from 1830, it has genuine character, with a wood-burning stove and a fireplace for relaxed evenings and a fully equipped kitchen complete with an Aga-style range. There is generous living space for the whole group to gather, plus a terrace and outdoor seating, barbecue facilities and bicycle parking. An electric-vehicle charging point is a welcome modern touch.

Space and setting

The real luxury here is the setting: the farm sits on around sixty-three acres with its own private forest track, half a mile from the nearest road, with garden and mountain views all around. It is a genuinely peaceful, away-from-it-all spot — dark skies at night, birdsong in the morning — yet only about five miles from Monmouth. Dogs are welcome free of charge, so the whole family, four-legged members included, can come along.

Monmouth and the Wye Valley

Monmouth is the handsome market town at the heart of this area — birthplace of Henry V and famous for its fortified 13th-century Monnow Bridge, the only one of its kind still standing in Britain. It is the gateway to the Wye Valley, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty where the river winds between wooded hills past castles and abbeys.

Days out from the farm

The lower Wye Valley is a wonderful playground for a group. The romantic ruins of Tintern Abbey, the dramatic viewpoint at Symonds Yat Rock — where peregrine falcons nest above a great loop of the river — and canoeing or kayaking on the Wye are all close by. The Forest of Dean just across the border offers cycling trails, sculpture walks and family days out, while walkers can follow the Wye Valley Walk along the river or Offa’s Dyke Path along the ancient frontier. With sixty-three acres of your own to roam, plenty of days can start and end right at the farm.

Who it suits

Church Hill Farm is made for larger groups — extended families, several couples, or friends marking a special occasion — who want space, privacy and proper countryside rather than a town-centre base. The generous living areas give everyone room to gather, the wood burner and Aga-style kitchen make it welcoming year-round, and the dog-friendly policy and acres of private land mean four-legged family members and energetic children can roam safely. With dark night skies and birdsong for company, it is a genuine escape, yet Monmouth and the Wye Valley’s attractions are only a short drive away.
