Alex, the organiser, wanted to share some exciting news with the sports community about a brilliant escape they've been working on – Wern-y-Cwm Farm in Abergavenny.
Set across 30 acres with views stretching over four counties, this Grade II listed farmstead offers a peaceful retreat from city life. With properties like the Great Barn, Farmhouse, Dairy, and Cider House, there's plenty of room to spread out and relax.
The place has seen a seven-year labour of love in restoration, filling it with cosy vibes from wood-burning stoves and eco heating in autumn and winter, to blooming gardens and a future Swim Pond in the warmer months.
The Great Barn stands out as a massive indoor space perfect for any activities planned, come rain or shine. And there’s the option to get tasty local meals from the Meals Without Miles service that sources ingredients grown or foraged right there on the farm.
Each property at Wern-y-Cwm is fully self-contained, complete with private gardens and facilities, so smaller groups can book just what they need or larger ones can take over multiple spots. Besides your own gardens, there are communal areas to enjoy, like a swim-pond, picnic places, and a grass amphitheatre coming in summer 2024.
Alex and the team have put in immense care, treating Wern-y-Cwm as more than just a venue – it’s their home. They aim to inspire and educate visitors about the farmstead, leaving everyone refreshed and hopeful after a break from the daily grind.
Accommodation options are flexible, from renting the whole place to picking individual properties depending on your group size. Imagine using the Farmhouse kitchen for up to 28 guests or hosting a feast in the Great Barn for up to 50 people.
Guests also have the freedom to roam the 30-acre farm, picking fruit and veg, exploring meadows, playing in the woods, or hiking up Skirrid Mountain.
For anyone in the sports community looking to unwind and connect with nature, Alex is sure Wern-y-Cwm Farm offers a top-notch experience. Whether it's a DIY holiday or an all-in catered stay, they’re ready to help create your own wonderful escape.
