Our Story

Dilapidated farm buildings

My family purchased Great House Farm back in 1985 when it was a small run-down farmhouse with some old animals roaming around and some old, rather dilapidated farm buildings. Over the years we have had various businesses running from the farm ranging from a rugged handheld computer company and then a large free range egg business supplying all the big supermarkets with eggs. It was also home to GHF Equestrian, a business specialising in training and producing competition horses.

A change of perspective

During lockdown, when we were all at home and the children were off school, we started developing a woodland that my parents had planted when they first had the farm. Spending the summer down there we realised what a beautiful and tranquil spot we had and that we’d love to share it with others. Having children changes your perspective on things and holidays abroad suddenly turned into camper van trips around beautiful Wales. During these trips we learned about what we liked and didn’t like when we were staying away. As we’ve begun to develop Great House Hideaways, we’ve tried to put what we’ve learned into our place and hope that people can come and enjoy the chilled vibe that we’ve tried to create.

Unique and Special couples retreats

What started as a dream to make the most of our beautiful farm has grown into something truly special. We began by transforming parts of the land into unique luxury retreats, and Craig has done an incredible job of bringing that vision to life. Today, our collection of handcrafted hideaways offers guests the chance to slow down, reconnect with nature and enjoy complete privacy in the heart of the Welsh countryside.

Each retreat has its own unique character while sharing the same commitment to comfort, quality and seclusion.

Tŷ Bryn is a luxury woodland treehouse set amongst the forest canopy, featuring a cosy bedroom with floor-to-ceiling woodland views, a wood-burning stove, spacious deck and a private covered hot tub, allowing guests to relax outdoors whatever the weather.

Tŷ Cwtch is a secluded woodland cabin designed for romantic escapes. Complete with a wood-burning stove, covered private hot tub, pizza oven, fire pit and spacious deck, it offers everything needed for a peaceful break. The cabin also welcomes well-behaved dogs, making it perfect for couples wanting to bring their four-legged companion along.

Tŷ Gardd offers a luxury gîte-style retreat overlooking our farmland and equestrian arena. With its spacious private patio, covered hot tub, wood-burning stove and stylish two-storey layout, it’s ideal for those looking for a relaxing countryside getaway with a little extra space.

Tŷ Nant is our enchanting woodland treehouse, tucked away in a private area of the farm. Surrounded by trees, it combines rustic charm with luxury, featuring a wood-fired hot tub, pizza oven, fire pit and everything guests need to completely immerse themselves in nature.

Although our collection has expanded, our vision remains the same. Every hideaway has been thoughtfully positioned to make the most of the surrounding woodland and countryside, ensuring each stay feels peaceful, private and connected to nature. Sustainability and preserving the natural beauty of the land continue to be at the heart of everything we create, giving guests an opportunity to escape everyday life and experience a truly memorable stay.

A winning Combination

We feel our USP is that we have a tranquil and beautiful spot in rural Wales, but we are easily accessible from all motorway networks and just off the main road with no twisting roads to navigate, a winning combination!

We look forward to welcoming you to Great House Hideaways!
