chapel house farm campsiteFire cooking, bird song, peace, and tranquility await visitors to Chapel House Farm in the wild Welsh Marches of Craswall. Guests can camp in 15 acres of spectacular wildflower meadows, learn about the farm’s ancient White Park cattle and rare breed Large Black pigs, and how its heritage flour, fava beans, and veg are grown in a sustainable and regenerative way. The delicious, naturally produced food and produce can be bought in the farm shop and eaten on special food nights, including Friday evenings, when sourdough pizza, made with the farm’s own flour, is baked in the original farmhouse oven and topped with seasonal and farm-grown and foraged produce. The farm’s 28-day-aged White Park steaks, homemade burgers, and Large Black sausages are cooked over a wood fire on bbq nights in the garden. The food is all naturally reared and grown and enjoyed by locals and visitors to the area who can take away or take a seat in our garden or candlelit stable.

Racquety Farm is an in-demand, pet-friendly glamping & camping site situated in Hay on Wye, Herefordshire. The campsite is only a 5-10 minute stroll to the town center and very close to the festival. Whether you're there for a quick weekend stay or a family getaway, Racquety Farm provides the space and opportunities for relaxation and unwinding. Their glamping facilities provide a home away from home and allow customers to have a peaceful experience and even provide a wood-burning stove in their domes. However, if you are not too big on camping, Racquety Farm has a studio on-site, which is ideal for writers, retreats, gatherings, and secluded weekend getaways. The studio space is private and situated in a remote woodland location, which provides a tranquil atmosphere.
