Upper House Farm

Peaceful site on a dog-friendly working farm in rural Herefordshire
A 20-minute drive from Hay-on-Wye; 35 minutes from Hereford
Bell tents with gorgeous views over the Golden Valley

Simple pleasures, stunning scenery and great swathes of space are all on the menu at Upper House Farm, a peaceful Herefordshire spot above a working farm 10 minutes’ drive from Peterchurch (a tiny village but one that’s big enough to have its own convenience store for provisions). The bell tents at this family farm come with access to toilets and showers, and each unit has a decking area, firepit, outdoor cooking facilities and a comfy bed. They’ve also got gorgeous views out over the Golden Valley – splendid at any time of day but perhaps at their best come sunset hour. The glamping area only accommodates a small number of guests, so it never feels crowded, and kids can run about without tripping over other people. Beyond the bell tents are a fab 100 acres of farm estate that you’re welcome to wander around. With dog-friendly accommodation and walking trails all around (dogs to be kept on a lead when on site), this is a fine spot for travelling canines too. And beyond that… well, there’s much more to explore, with lots of local footpaths crossing the valleys, local hiking up the Hay Bluff and Black Mountain and the whole of the Brecon Beacons National Park just past those peaks. Hay-on-Wye and the river’s canoe trips are about 20 minutes’ drive away too.

What customers say

Guests consistently praise the site's fantastic, peaceful location with stunning mountain views. Tents are described as comfortable, well-equipped, and spotlessly clean, with many highlighting the added luxury of hot tubs. Staff are noted for being responsive and accommodating. While most guests found nothing to dislike, a few mentioned the lack of decking shelter. The overwhelming sentiment is that visitors thoroughly enjoyed their stays and would gladly return.

Local attractions

A popular day out here is to hop over the border into Wales to explore the bookshops of Hay-on-Wye (20 minutes’ drive) and maybe take a canoe trip along the river. While you’re over that way you could also hike up Hay Bluff (half an hour) or the Black Mountain (40 minutes). If that’s given you a taste for uphill challenges, try the big one at Pen y Fan (an hour) – it’s the highest peak in south Wales but the paths make it relatively accessible. In fact, the Welsh side of the border has plenty of ways to keep you busy, whether you fancy a paddle from the shingle beach in Glasbury (half an hour), a step into the past at Raglan Castle (45 minutes) and Goodrich Castle (50 minutes) or some watersports at Llangorse Lake (45 minutes). The Big Pit National Coal Museum (50 minutes) is a good spot for learning about days gone by, too. Back over in England, there are gorgeous gardens to explore in the grounds of Brobury House (20 minutes) and much to see and do in Hereford (35 minutes), including the Mappa Mundi exhibition and Black and White House Museum.
