The Experience

Much attention has been lavished on the restoration of this listed barn, a happy mix of old stone, slate, beams and general rusticity paired with an ultra-modern kitchen, bathroom, heating and electronic devices. Long, wild views from deeply comfortable, woody bedrooms will entice you out to tramp those hills.

Return to soak in deep baths, or enjoy the power showers, then head down the wide oak stairs for a drink by the woodburning stove and dinner – everything a cook could need is here and you’re left a welcome hamper of tasty local produce. There’s masses of space for prepping and for everyone to join in, then you eat at a long, convivial table.

In summer you’ll be out in the al fresco dining area or lounging in the big garden with its heavenly views – lovely to sit out here and watch the sun set over the hills. Children will be very happy in the games room with pool, table tennis and darts while you relish the peace.

Reviews

James, Bath, UK

Where to start? Probably with the view from the beautiful garden overloo the tranquil Herefordshire countryside. No other houses for miles around to spoil the peace and quiet, the only noise is the grazing sheep, multitudes of birds and the odd distant tractor. The Stable is beautifully restored, each bedroom has character in plenty, the kitchen is great for communal eating, and there is a wonderful communal eating and bbq space outside (we were blessed with perfect midsummer weather). Add the games barn for family fun and this really is the perfect location for a family gathering. Perfection


Sharron, Worcs.

A really comfy stay, beautiful barn conversion with lovely touches to make our stay really special. In a lovely private rural location. Nice and private. Will definitely return!


Location

The neighbourhood

You have no immediate neighbours so you'll feel utterly secluded – it's rural but not too remote. The Bull's Head, a super country pub, is nearby, as is The Golden Valley Stores for stocking up. Two more good pubs are The Red Lion at Madley, 20 mins, and The Red Cow, 15 mins. Hay-on-Wye is 20 minutes and has a fantastic butcher as well as restaurants.

Local points of interest from Ali Lloyd

  • With a footpath running from the front door, try a hearty walk over the hills into Hay on Wye, or for something gentler, visit one of the many ancient churches in easy walking distance.
  • The area is foodie heaven - visit local cider makers, an award winning farm restaurant, watch ice cream being made or visit a splendid local pick your own farm.
  • Visit one of the many fantastic food festivals in the area - Ludlow, Abergavenny, Hereford, Shobdon, the list goes on.
  • Just 20 minutes away from Hay-on-Wye, known internationally for it's wonderful literary festival, this unique little market town also boasts a plentiful supply of book and antique shops too, plus great places to eat.
