Ragmans Farm is nestled in the Wye Valley on the edge of the Forest of Dean in an Area of Oustanding Natural Beauty. An hour from Bristol, Birmingham and Cardiff, Ragmans is the perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. 

We have bunkhouse accommodation, a converted 400 year old barn which sleeps up to 15 people, a meeting venue and a fabulous Yurt with outside cooking.

Ragmans is a place to escape the pace of modern life, to sit with friends around the fire or next to the wood fired stove and enjoy the simple pleasures, beauty and peace of the natural world.
