Cromwell’s Hideaway

Monmouthshire is a very special place.  Stunningly set between the Brecon Beacons National Park and the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, you’ll find more castles per square mile than anywhere else in the UK.  

Cromwell’s Hideaway, a bespoke-crafted shepherd’s hut, is the result of a true labour of love from owners Karen and Dave.  After falling in love with Monmouthshire themselves, their dream was to create a luxury farmland hideaway from which others could enjoy the beautiful chocolate-box scenery, far away from the stresses of home.

Named after Oliver Cromwell, who was said to have once resided in the nearby farmhouse at the Warrage Farm, Cromwell’s Hideaway is perfectly situated for you to enjoy the most magnificent country views, with an awe-inspiring vista that takes in Raglan Castle and the rolling Brecon Beacons.  Blissfully secluded, you can enjoy total privacy.

Every last detail has been carefully thought about, and inside your surprisingly spacious hut you’ll find relaxing soft-toned décor, temptingly cosy furnishings, and luxurious additions that include underfloor heating and a crackling log burner.  There’s also a charming country kitchen with separate dining area, and a shower equipped with toiletries and soft towels.

Fully equipped with running water and mains electricity, you’ll have everything you need to sit back, relax and switch off from everyday life.

Revel in a sound night’s sleep amongst the stars and the hooting owls, and awake to a delicious continental breakfast provided by Karen and Dave for your first morning (you’ll arrive to a welcoming committee of tea and cake, too!)

During the day, why not simply relax with a book outside, as you listen to the gentle chorus of birdsong and lambs?  While we wouldn’t blame you if you stayed put all holiday long, there’s also plenty to see and do for those who enjoy getting out and about.

More information

It probably goes without saying that this is prime walking country…but, this really is prime walking country!  Grab those hiking boots and explore.  There are plenty of local castles to feast your eyes upon up close, or if shopping and coffee stops are more your thing, the nearby market towns of Monmouth and Abergavenny are ideal.

Thrill-seekers are more than covered too, with canoeing or kayaking on the River Wye providing a burst of adrenaline, and when you’ve finished, you’ll find a wide and wonderful selection of restaurants and country pubs to wind down in.  

And of course, if you’re looking for even more suggestions about how to spend your time, you’ll find Karen and Dave are a fountain of knowledge.

There’s only one absolute ‘must do’ – heading back to your hideaway hut by evening, in time to catch the blazing sun sinking over that magnificent landscape.  You’ll feel as though you’re in an opulent hotel suite, transported to one of the most naturally beautiful parts of the UK…especially for you.
