Whether you visit as family or friends, every guest can look forward to relaxing in exceptional comfort at the end of each busy day.

On arrival, pay attention to the well-tended garden with lawn space, an appealing lodge and ample seating options on the private terrace.

Had a wonderful stay at castle farm, everything working well. Enjoyed all the games facilities and hot tub was wonderful. Beds super comfy, everything needed for a stay, including kitchen essentials. The rock and fountain pub round the corner not to be missed, ate there a few time and it was fantastic. Steak night on Tuesdays was a bonus.

The most amazing holiday cottage. The house was very spacious and very well equipped. The bedrooms were a great size and so comfortable. The games room, hot tub and trampoline were great for everyone of all ages and the scenery was just breathtaking. We took our dog who loved the walks and playing in the garden. The dog friendly pub was 2 mins awayRead more and the food was great. Shopping is perfect with Cardiff 30 mins away and some great retail parks in Newport. We would love to come again next year Hide

Castle farmhouse is situated in a beautiful location, stunning views across the Welsh countryside and easily accessible. The property met all our needs and then some. Would definitely consider coming back. The bottle of wine on our arrival was unexpected but very much appreciate.
