Our Farm House
Plantation Villa UK is at Ruxton Farm. This is a 14-acre farmland with rustic 17th century farmhouse, located within the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The property contains a large farm house and two cottages all recently renovated sympathetically to retain its original features of stone walls and exposed wooden beams. The large 14 acres of gardens consist of an inner garden, a secret garden, wildflower garden, a large meadow and a wooded walking path leading to the lovely River Wye.

So it is in this way that it is different from the standard action-packed retreats where you are constantly occupied with activities.
