This Grade II listed property has been carefully and sympathetically modernised, yet retains many original features to provide 5 star accommodation for families and other groups such as walkers and cyclists who come to experience the stunning scenery, wealth of wildlife and historic sites in the locality.

Parva Farm Vineyard was planted on a south facing slope above the River Wye at Tintern in 1979.  The now mature vines produce high quality grapes which are used to make red, rose, white and sparkling Welsh wines and Welsh mead.  These are sold from the farm shop where visitors may also purchase locally produced honey and preserves and Welsh cheeses as well as plants grown on the farm. 

Self guided vineyard tours may be taken or guided tours by prior arrangement.  There is a picnic site in the gardens.
