Surrounded by wild meadows and with far-reaching rural views, Old Great Marlborough is a beautifully restored, self-catered farmhouse for large groups wanting to escape it all. The once forgotten, traditional Welsh farmhouse, is immersed in both history and beauty, sleeping anywhere from 6 to 16 people. Find country comfort with beautifully restored bedrooms, spacious reception rooms, a swimming pool, a wood-fired hot tub and so much more.
The space
The house and its 3-acre gardens are perfectly secluded so you are guaranteed peace and tranquillity. An indoor swimming pool, woodfired hot tub along with a games room and tennis court provide plenty of activity for all ages. Meanwhile, a large garden room (complete with fruiting grapevine), antique dining room, and 30 x 30 ft living room with a wood-burning stove make the house a luxurious, comfortable setting for large gatherings. Cooking is a joy in our large, farmhouse kitchen which boasts an Aga and Belfast sink, whilst our well-proportioned bedrooms (all with their own bathrooms), fine artwork, and antique furniture create the ideal atmosphere for a relaxing holiday. The sleeping accommodation is spread throughout the main, historic part of the house, a swimming pool annex, and a separate bunkhouse with its own kitchenette and dining area. We do have a sofa bed available as an extra sleeping space (If you wish to make use of this you will need to provide your own linen to use it)We have just newly installed a hotel-grade heating and plumbing system so lots of hot water and no cold showers!The grounds of OGM host a tennis court with a viewing pavilion, a sunken garden, a covered BBQ area and many secluded seating areas.The gardens feature stunning views of the Black Mountains, Hay Bluff, the magical Skirrid Mountain, rolling hills, farmland, and on a clear night ?? the Milky Way. Holidays at OGM are magical throughout the year, thanks to our array of outdoor and indoor activities on-site. The indoor, under-floor swimming pool provides endless entertainment, particularly as, when closed, it doubles up as a great indoor play area.
Extra bits:
We share the driveway and farmland with our neighbour. Please stick to the area surrounding the house only and the public footpaths. If you have dogs, please make sure to shut the main gate at the bottom of the drive before letting them run free.
