We only ask that you love and enjoy the charms of Hebog Bach as much as we do.

Welcome to Hebog Bach

Hebog Bach is nestled within the private Wern Estate, offering a serene escape surrounded by picturesque woodlands and peaceful lanes. You're welcome to explore the area, but please be mindful of the livestock and ensure all gates are securely closed behind you. The house is designed for maximum comfort, blending a charming mix of both old and new furnishings.

The kitchen is fully equipped with a double oven, ceramic hob, full-size fridge freezer, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, and more. A separate utility room houses the washer and dryer. We are happy to accommodate one well-behaved dog for an additional fee, but please ensure they stay out of the bedrooms and off the furniture. We provide a complimentary basket of our own logs for the wood burner and a bag of charcoal for summer BBQs.

The garden is enclosed with walls and gates, providing a safe space for young children. The patio is perfect for enjoying breakfast or a BBQ. A smart TV is available.

While the postal address is listed below, please follow our directions for the last few miles, as relying on Sat Nav may lead you into one of Mr. Jones' fields, and he can be quite grumpy!

  • We are pleased to advise that we have an EV charging  station on the Wern Estate. If you are coming with an electric car then please let Kerrie know so that  she can show you where the station is. Our app will record when and how much electricity you have  used and so you will be able to either pay by cash before departure (probably easiest) or we can  charge against your card. We are not looking to make money on this, it is a service that we are  offering guests and solely want to cover costs. 

  • We provide a small welcome pack of local produce and there is always tea, coffee, milk, oil, vinegar, salt and pepper.

  • The house is of course fully centrally heated and also has a log burner.

  • We are happy to provide a travel cot – although we ask guests to bring their own bedding. If you would like a travel cot and/or highchair, then please ask in advance.  

  • Beds are made up for arrival with pure down duvets and fine thread Egyptian cotton bedding. We are happy to provide synthetic duvets on request. There will be fluffy house towels as well as beach towels during the summer months. There will be complimentary toiletries in the bathrooms. 

  • Yes, dogs are allowed, but please ensure they are do not go on any soft furnishings and are always kept on leads whilst on walks. Please read our dog rules here.

  • The farmhouse is supplied by a septic tank, please ensure only loo paper goes down the loo as anything else will block our wonderful sustainable system.

  • Additional baskets of logs can be purchased for £12 each via our honesty box, if more logs are required please text Kerrie and she will deliver to you.

  • Yes, we provide one beach towel per person.
