Come Free Range With Us

Welcome to Drovers Rest, our 16th Century Organic Farm, near Hay-on-Wye, Herefordshire. Today Drovers Rest is an Events Venue, hosting Epic Barn Weddings, Corporate Off-sites like no other, Parties, Celebrations and group gatherings. When we can fit it in, our Ticketed Fire-Cooked Feast Events. And in between,  our lush accommodation is available for Earthy Farm Stays in a spectacular location, so do grab them when you can.

In 2010, we left the corporate world of London to buy a farm and start a business in the sticks, and we love it. We are originally from South Africa so you will definitely see a touch of Africa in everything we do. With a passion for wildlife, doing our bit for the planet and food grown the proper way, our mission is to re-wild our land, ourselves and to give you a taste of the wild life too, the perfect anti-dote to modern living.  And like the cheeky black sheep that dot our fields and is in our logo, we do like to do things different, to buck the status quo, to ask why not?!  

We’re super dog friendly,  tucked away at the foothills of the Black Mountains in the Golden Valley in Herefordshire, right on the border of Wales, we are surrounded by 200 acres of fields, forest and farm with a bubbling brook running through. We are off the beaten track yet only a stones throw from one of the most beautiful welsh villages around –  Hay on wye. Famous for, the River Wye, the Brecon Beacons National Park and the outdoor activities that come with it.  The Big Literary Festival and book shops galore, where culture and coffee shops await. That’s if you can tear yourself away from the farm.
