Lower House sits in its own romantic and self-contained 7-acre valley, made up of wood and copse, little fields, orchard, stream & wildlife pond. As you cross the Dulas Brook, via our small stone bridge to come up our tree-lined drive, you pass from England into Wales. We are in the Brecon Beacons National Park and the Offa's Dyke Path passes through the field behind the house. From your bedroom windows you can hear the sound of the small stream which runs past the front of the house.

We have been working on the house and garden for the 23 years that we have lived here. The rambling house is largely 18th century with older parts. The exceptional garden has been featured in many magazines, including Gardens Illustrated (Sep 2007) and Country Life (Nov 08). The house has also featured in magazines, including Period Living (May 2007). See Press Page.

There is much of interest in the garden for guests to enjoy and be inspired by, in every season: Strong layout with luxuriant planting and interesting foliage combinations, quirky topiary, formal & wildlife pools & traditional vegetable & cut flower garden.

We also welcome visits from people who would like to see our garden. Please phone first.
