Welcome to Beili Glas [pronounced by-lee glass], our traditional 100 acre Welsh farmstead in Monmouthshire, close to Offa's Dyke Path which runs along the border of England and Wales.

Nicola and Matthew Daley run their farm with the highest environmental ethics and standards, and we care gently for our animals and plant life in symbiosis with nature. These principles makes Beili Glas a blissful country retreat where our guests can enjoy rural peace, without man-made noise, 21^st century haste, or invasive light pollution.

Retreat, rewind and relax

Beili Glas is a perfect place to decompress from the stresses of busy and frantic lives. Here you can stay, off-grid, in a beautifully restored Showman's Waggon or in our delightful Welsh cottage - all discreetly located on our 100 acre farmland.

Wander gently, cycle with purpose (or not), run free and breathe in the clean air. Dip in to the sheltered wild swimming pond, explore the magical tree-house and, just when you're ready, there's a solar heated hot shower and a warm fire to sit around before you make supper and then slip in to bed.

Nicola and Matthew Daley, together with their two teenage children and a great number of assorted animals, live in Monmouthshire, Wales. The Daleys are proud of their strong Welsh family background and heritage.

The family live in The Rectory next to an old church in Llanvihangel-Ystern-Llewern - the original longest place-name in Wales. Next door to the family home is Sunnybank Farm, which was once known by its Welsh name of Beili Glas, which translates as Blue Yard in English.

In 2010, Nicola and Matthew were in the process of developing their respective growing businesses in natural textiles and executive recruitment. Along the way some other exciting and viable projects began to take shape and Beili Glas as a business concern was formed.

The family actively farm and manage their land according to their firm principles of environmental sustainability, biodiversity, and good stewardship of the natural resources around them.

The biodiversity, environmental sustainability and good stewardship of our natural resources inform our every action.

Our native breeds are well suited to our land, our ancient hay meadows are species rich, our woodlands are a riot of bird song, and our lakes are pristine. Our old orchards have been restored, our hedges re-planted our riverbanks stabilised, and our woodlands are a mix of managed and wilderness... and we are not done yet. Ongoing management and work schedules are always looking at opportunities to improve what we do and how we do it.
