The Experience
At the end of a beautiful approach that takes in views of the high ridge of the Black Mixen and the Forest of Radnor, this sweet, whitewashed cottage tucked away in a remote corner of rural Wales has real ‘middle-of-nowhere’ appeal.
Inside you’ll find a contemporary cottage-core vibe: vintage Welsh blankets, 300-thread-count linens on the pillowy beds, eco toiletries, and a welcome basket of homemade Welsh cakes, fresh duck eggs from next door and a bottle of something lovely and local to revive your spirits.
South-facing with a pretty little stream running through the front garden and a vineyard nearby, the 17th-century cottage has been sensitively restored by the owners. Explore the waterfalls and woodlands of nearby valleys before returning home, tired and weary. Put your feet up with a good book, a roaring fire, and let all sense of the hustle and bustle of the modern world melt from your mind.

We had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful and peaceful cottage. We were two old friends with young babies catching up, and we enjoyed some stunning walks, the inspiring cottage interior, the delicious homemade welsh cakes that were kindly left for us and of course trying the wine from the vineyard! Can't wait to return!

Location
The neighbourhood
There are excellent walks in every direction. New Radnor (one mile) has a small community shop for basics. In nearby Old Radnor, The Harp is a Welsh longhouse inn that serves food and an excellent pint. Head to Presteigne (12-min drive) for a good range of independent shops and pubs as well as a thriving arts scene. Literary Hay-on-Wye (30-min drive) and foodie Ludlow (40 mins) both promise a great day out.
Local points of interest from Susan & James
- Dip your toes in Water-Break-Its-Neck, our local waterfall. Follow the trails through Warren Wood or take advantage of the small car park nearby to reach the spectacular local Water-Break-Its-Neck waterfall. There is an easy, accessible 1-hour walk.
- Hike up Whimble Hill. Make it to the 598.8m summit of this dewey (it’s just shy of a mountain) on our farm and you’ll be rewarded with wondrous views across the Radnor Valley, taking in the Black Mountains, spanning all the way to the Malvern hills.
- Have a pint at The Harp. Country Pub of the Year, drink in the unparalleled views at our local pub. Excellent food, local ales and a cosy open fire. Enjoy a tasting and stroll among the vines at our vineyard open weekends on 12-13th July & 22-23rd Aug 2025
- Pop in to Presteigne. A cultural hub and host of two festivals, Sheep Music and Festival of Music and Arts. You'll find independent shops and antiques aplenty. Visit the Judge's Lodging Museum before sourdough pizza, cider and good wine at Daphne's.
- See the world's largest owl. The Small Breeds Farm Park in Kington is a sanctuary and home to an incredible array of miniature rare breeds of animals and owls. With lots to do over a whole day out, it's a must for kids and animal lovers alike.
- Visit the world famous book town of Hay-on-Wye. Lose yourself in secondhand bookshops, independent shops and antique shops at the home of the Hay Literature Festival. Head to the pebbly beach at The Warren where locals go for a wild swim.

Introducing
Susan & James
The owners are James and Susan. James' family have farmed this land for generations and the pair have quit their London life (where James was a research scientist and Susan worked for a sustainable food and drink start-up) to try their hand at low-intervention winemaking. Since 2017, they have planted more than 5000 vines by hand and now sell their Whinyard Rocks wines locally and online.
What a place to unwind! The peace is palpable, just the brook and birdsong as background. Super cosy and characterful cottage surrounded by mature trees with tantalising glimpses of the high hills behind. Get your boots on and head on up The Whimble, a famous local landmark. Then head to The Harp, the best pub for many miles around, for a great local pint and super views. There is much to explore.
