As its name suggests, The Old LMS Goods Van once travelled the railways, before retiring to become a beautifully refurbished retreat on a working organic farm in Monmouthshire.

Originally crafted in 1920, there’s an atmosphere of vintage romance as you step on board via the private decking, straight into a welcoming open-plan space with a kitchenette, squishy beanbag seating, and a cosy foldaway bed.

Soft colours and gorgeous green views will make you feel perfectly relaxed, and with a shower room to freshen up in, you won’t have to worry about traipsing off to a communal facilities block.

All that’s left to do is throw open the glass doors and indulge in a romantic al fresco supper with chilled glasses of wine, as the sun sinks over the Brecon Beacons and the Sugar Loaf Mountain beyond.
