At the end of a quiet lane, in the middle of the Monmouthshire countryside, you will find lovely views, friendly animals, ponds, streams, orchards, woods and wildlife - most of which can be seen from your window.  Stay in comfortable beds in our wonderfully restored grade II* listed farmhouse or book a guided visit to the organic farm.  There is lots to see and do in the area and we’re right next to Offa’s Dyke path.

Little altered since it was built in the 17th century, Upper Red House is said to be the second oldest brick house in Monmouthshire and is now lime-washed in its original colour. Little is known about the origins of the house, but it was built at a time when farming was much more prosperous, explaining the grand appearance.  A cider house (now our kitchen) was built on the back of the house a little later.  Like most local farms the house was once surrounded by orchards for making cider and perry, which was then used to pay the farm labourers.  Vaulted cellars under the house were used to store the barrels of cider.

Your visits will help our restoration and conservation work to continue!
