Drovers Rest Farm

Nestled on the Herefordshire-Wales border, Drovers Rest is a stunning 16th-century organic farm set at the foothills of the Black Mountains near Hay-on-Wye. Spread across 40 acres of woodlands, meadows, orchards, and a bubbling brook, with direct access to the 150-acre Little Mountain common, it offers a truly unique countryside escape for corporate events and retreats. Drovers Rest blends rustic charm with modern amenities, making it the ideal setting for a range of corporate events - from team offsites, strategy days, and leadership retreats to product launches, company celebrations, and creative workshops. With both indoor and outdoor spaces, the unpredictable British weather is never a concern. The farm features two beautifully converted barns: the Posh Barn and the Rustic Barn. The Posh Barn, with its industrial chic design, polished concrete floors, and floor-to-ceiling windows, is perfect for formal meetings, presentations, and sit-down dinners. The Rustic Barn, clad in wood from old potato boxes and corrugated iron, offers a more relaxed, flexible space for breakout sessions, team activities, live entertainment, or informal dining. An adjoining stone courtyard connects the two, creating a seamless flow between spaces. On-site accommodation includes a mix of historic 16th-century cottages, luxurious glamping tents, and spacious bell tents in the summer months - ensuring there’s an option for every corporate retreat, whether your team seeks cosy comfort or a boutique outdoor experience. Located just three hours from London, two hours from Bristol, and under two hours from Birmingham, Cardiff, and Newport, Drovers Rest is easily accessible yet feels a world away from the hustle and bustle of city life. What truly sets Drovers Rest apart is its deep commitment to sustainability and eco-conscious living. The farm is organically run, with no artificial pesticides or fertilisers, and 25% of the land dedicated to rewilding and soil regeneration. The food is grown on-site or sourced locally, offering seasonal, farm-to-table feasts that range from fire-cooked hot pots and BBQs to rustic sharing platters and wood-fired pizzas. With its stunning natural setting, versatile event spaces, and sustainable ethos, Drovers Rest provides an unforgettable backdrop for corporate events - where work, nature, and creativity come together.
