Rolling countryside as far as the eye can see and quaint villages tucked into the valleys of Monmouthshire on your doorstep – this converted stone barn is an idyllic getaway. It’s a six-minute drive to the centre of Raglan where you can explore castle ruins, pop in to one of the cosy pubs or stock up at the traditional butcher and the local village shop. Further afield you’ll find the charming market town of Monmouth a fifteen-minute drive away. The home is blissfully quiet, with nothing but the occasional bleat of sheep or whinny of a horse in the surrounding fields. Out here, away from it all, you can see the canopy of stars from the private garden. During the day, this spot is perfect for a family barbecue, with dining on the patio. Inside, it’s open-plan living made cosy with a wood-burning stove set in the old stone wall of the living room. Period features like the old timber frame and arrow-slit windows have been retained, showing off the age of the building. The Aga and Belfast sink in the kitchen keep that farmhouse feel, perfect when paired with farm-fresh produce from the hole-in-the-wall farm shop just down the road.

Nice to haves

This old cart shed nestled along a quiet rural lane in Monmouthshire may  belong to the 17th century, but there's nothing dated about the cool, lime-plaster walls and stylish interiors. While the ancient stone exterior and high wooden beams remain, everywhere else is bright and contemporary, with pops of sunny yellows adding refreshing bursts of modernity.
Well-suited for families, kids will love the bunk beds, and there's plenty of space to spill out in the living area with a modular sofa ready and waiting for cosy film nights. Over in the kitchen, you'll find a welcome hamper stuffed full of goodies to help settle you in. But if you'd rather skip the cooking part, you can always nip into nearby Abergavenny (a sixteen-minute drive) or Monmouth (a twenty-minute drive). Both market towns deliver the traditional Welsh inns and tea rooms you're chasing.

When it's time to embrace the great outdoors, you're in the middle of some truly excellent rambling routes like Three Castles Walk and the Offa's Dyke Path, and history buffs will relish a day out to local castles and structures even older than your home. And the surrounding area is a mountain bikers paradise with Bike Park Wales and Black Mountain nearby.

After spending the day tramping through the wilderness or touring tea rooms, bundle up in the home's courtyard for an evening of stargazing. With the chiminea all aglow and the garden festoon lights twinkling, it's a magical place to spend an evening.

Get off the beaten track at this remote retreat set deep within the Herefordshire countryside, close to the Welsh border. Originally the farm's dairy, it's been lovingly converted from a derelict outbuilding to stylish home from home in just a few short years.

Inside, discover a cute contemporary farmhouse style, with beautiful natural stone flooring, a sleek kitchen and an inviting seating area placed within warming distance of the wood burner.

Step through to the bedroom, where you'll find a comfortable bed with a skylight above, perfect for stargazing, and an elegant freestanding bathtub for indulgent evening pampering sessions.

The star of the show has got to be the wood-fired hot tub, with views across to the Monnow Valley. Spend your days hiking through the hills with your dogs, before hosing them down at the outside tap and jumping into the warm water – we can't help but feel that the dog's getting the raw end of the deal here.

Speaking of walks, there are plenty of public footpaths that pass across the farm, with your hosts able to provide OS maps and walking books should you need them. If you want to venture further afield, why not head up the Skirrid, Sugar Loaf and Black Mountains – all viewable from the garden.

Wander no further than footsteps away for a relaxing pub visit or explore at leisure the lush labyrinthine lanes connecting you to the broader Herefordshire countryside. Sprawling across private grounds, including an enclosed garden and terrace, lay your stakes and unwind amidst your temporary kingdom on the border of England and Wales.

On arrival at this beautiful A-frame cottage, you’ll be greeted with stunning views across the Wye Valley and a couple of bottles of local ale from your host’s favourite brewery. A wall of glass opens up the living room to the valley beyond and the morning mist tumbling between forests and fells is quite a sight from this hilltop location. Come nightfall, you’re far from civilisation so the sky speckles with a blanket of stars – spot constellations from the warmth of the wood-fired hot tub outside or walk to Michelin-star restaurant The Whitebrook, fifteen minutes away. Wandering through the wildflower-strewn garden you’ll find a picnic bench and barbecue for hazy summer days outdoors and rambling walks across the countryside start from just outside the door. Back inside, we love the collection of holiday reads, tucked into bookshelves below the raised bed in the studio. Toys in the living room and bunkbeds in the second bedroom let you know this place is family-friendly too.

These luxurious shepherd’s huts are an excellent choice for a romantic retreat. This quirky home can be found in a secluded meadow on the edge of a natural wood, close to the ancient settlement of Penterry. There are stunning views to be discovered nearby, and you can relax and unwind amid the tranquillity of the Wye Valley. The bathroom, with a bathtub and separate shower, is in a separate shepherd’s hut, while the petite kitchen and bedroom are in a studio layout in the main hut. Space is limited, but the setting more than makes up for that.

This barn has been lovingly restored into a stylish home. We adore the Usk Valley vistas from the patio windows, and if you look up, you get a view of the sky through the glazed ceiling. 

The impressive living space is perfect for entertaining your family and friends. There's plenty of room on the two comfy grey sofas for your guests and a selection of books and games to keep the gang occupied. Whip up some Welsh rarebit for lunch in the modern kitchen with its island, or head outside and grill some local produce on the barbecue. Later relax in the hot tub with a glass of wine or next to the toasty fire pit.

There's lots to do out and about, too. Llandegfedd reservoir, with all its watersports, great fishing, walking and cycling, is just over 1 mile away, while the charming market town of Usk has many independent boutiques and several cafes and restaurants (2.2 miles from this home). Other attractions include Raglan Castle, Brecon Beacons National Park, Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Chepstow Castle and Chepstow Racecourse.

Say fare thee well to your regular life – it's time to live out your knight's tale fantasies at this extraordinary Medieval manor house. This home dates back to the twelfth century and was even owned by Henry VIII a couple of centuries later. As soon as the moment you step through the gigantic wooden door, you'll feel like you've stepped back in time. 

You’ll have access to the first and second floor of the home, which are packed with historic charm and traditional details. We love the spiral staircases and narrow corridors leading to cosy corners and antique furniture. Exposed stone walls and dark timber beams add to the characterful decor of this memorable home. The master bedroom features a wood-carved four-poster bed with intricate artistry, and a roll-top bath in the nearby bathroom. 

In the kitchen, it's easy to imagine the cooks of yesteryear bustling about the hearth while preparing a banquet for the Lord of the house. Happily, things are a little easier these days – there’s now a beautiful farmhouse kitchen with a range cooker. When you’ve whipped up a feast fit for a king, it can be served at the nine-foot table, where you’ll sit until late sipping wine and catching up. 

The Wye Valley is on your doorstep with its crumbling castle ruins, Arthurian landmarks, and quiet market towns. A ten-minute walk takes you into Caldicot centre, buzzing with cafes, shops and a handy train station. Yet the manor's sprawling grounds and walled rose gardens make it feel as though you’re away from it all.

This picture-perfect, red-brick barn has been transformed into a luxe country retreat, just on the edge of Brecon Beacons National park. From the traditional wood-burning fireplace and oak dining table, to the plush floral sofas and wood-top kitchen island, this is a bright and homely place to stay. Relax in the large cinema room or the cosy library - offering all the wholesome entertainment you’d need for a getaway in the countryside. The bedrooms have deluxe mattresses and tartan throws, while luxurious bathrooms feature glamorous roll-top soaking tubs. The barn is drenched in light from floor-to-ceiling windows that let in sublime, uninterrupted views of the rolling green landscape. Park the kids in the play area or on the manicured football lawn, and put your feet up in the alfresco dining area with all those views. While located in the heart of the country, the home is near bars and pubs, as well as the local village, so you can explore the local area with ease.

You're in for a surprise as you enter this converted barn on a farm near the town of Usk. A far cry from the period features and chintz you may expect in a home like this, it's been designed with plenty of contemporary flair. Bright and open, and with a superb glass roof over the sitting area, it's all crisp white walls, anthracite framed windows and modern wood floors.

Floor-to-ceiling windows on the ground floor open it right up to the patio and there's a choice between eating at the dining table or outside on fine days. And while the high-spec kitchen is perfectly practical for cooking at home, there's also the option of a barbecue. Three excellent en-suite bedrooms top off the accommodation but there's a little secret this home has been holding back – it's also got a private hot tub and a fire pit in the garden.

Just a little over two miles from Usk, it's close to the local reservoir, where you can book all sorts of water sports, and there's a golf course nearby too. Whether you're exploring the area by foot or by bike, it's a great spot on a charming smallholding – perfect for all the family and with fields and sheep as far as the eye can see.

This delightful holiday home is the garden wing of a fabulous Italianate-style villa that dates back to around 1670. Now a comfortable and modern space, this home delights guests and proves to be the perfect base for exploring the nearby Forest of Dean. 

The villa has been a B&B for forty years, and the garden wing is now available for self-catered stays – it’s ideal for groups of friends or a couple of families getting together for a break. Spend your days out in the fresh air, and your evenings in the wood-beamed living room, playing board games and catching up. 

The Forest of Dean is just a short distance away – you can be at its heart in fifteen minutes. There’s so much to see and do, whether you’re a keen hiker, will be bringing your bikes, or are entertaining little ones. Puzzlewood is seven minutes away by car, and you might even recognise some parts of the Forest from TV and film. 

You can enjoy the great outdoors from the property itself, too. The villa boasts twenty acres of land and formal gardens, which are a delight to stroll through, as well as ponds and a pretty brook. Additionally, you’ll have your own private fenced garden – why not serve afternoon tea in the sunshine?
