The Barn at Warmth & Wonder

What a stunning place to stay! Tucked away in the beautiful quiet countryside with amazing views across to the black mountains. We had a lovely stay in the Barn, spacious and well equipped, comfy bed, great amenities and a gorgeous log fire for the few chilly July evenings we had! Most welcome after some long walks and a visit to the local pub. We enjoyed a great afternoon canoeing from Glasbury to Hay followed by a look around the shops . We will definitely be back, again, thanks Matt and Polly for a wonderful stay.

Gorgeous accommodation and beautiful setting. Had everything we needed to help us relax and unwind. The perfect get away from it all spot.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Barn. Fantastic weather helped but the Barn is equipped for any weather – a log burner with a good supply of logs, games and comfortable beds. The look is retro, the ethos environmentally friendly and the views inspiring. Great location for walks, country pubs, Abergavenny and just about the Hay Festival. If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of normal life you couldn’t beat this. A warm welcome by Matt and an excellent information book got us off to a good start and things carried on the same way. We’ll be telling our friends about it.

The view is nothing short of splendid and the eye is soothed by the sun rising or falling over the Black Mountain ridge that lies directly ahead providing the perfect accompaniment to breakfast or dinner on the terrace. The children enjoyed feeding apples to the pigs, visiting the chickens and the hammock provided them with endless entertainment. Days were spent either on horseback or trekking the mountains. The nights were cooler and we even lit a couple of log fires. Feels like a world apart – and a wonderful one.

We have holidayed in many cottages over the years and this was hands down the best cottage we've stayed out. Everything about was spot on. I particulalry loved the outside space (the little hut, the multiple sitting areas, the space,the quietness) , however that does not belittle the inside. It is not often you can holiday in the UK with 2 teenage kids & everyone would wan to stay longer. Thoroughly recommend

What a wonderful place to stay! The perfect base for exploring and relaxing. Polly and Matt were wonderful hosts and provided a wealth of knowledge about the local area. Will definitely return!

We had a beautiful stay at the Barn. Facing the Black Mountains, surrounded by streams, sheep, ducks and hens, the Barn is a very cosy retreat for a family of 4. A great week for walking and enjoying nature as a family.

We had an amazing stay at Warmth & Wonder. As parents of two young children we could not have had a more cosy and fun family holiday - extremely well set up for kids. The location is really stunning and our hosts were warm and welcoming. Could not recommend the barn enough.

Our 2nd visit: the first with Forest Church (informal spiritual retreat) 2 months ago; the second with my family sons, daughters, partners & grandchildren. Both visits were delightful, though being in such an idyllic place with those that I love most was wonderful. My son described it as one of the most beautiful places he had been to; I agree. Matt & Polly,, both very warm & genuine people, have thought of every detail to make the stay in the barn, a great conversion, very comfortable & easy. The information “bible” is a classic. I loved being there & will return again & again.

Just returned from a lovely weekend, away from it all, at The Barn at Warmth & Wonder. This was a random choice, booked merely as a midway meeting point with family, for some 'catch up and chill time' and did not disappoint. Unfortunately, the weather was not summer at its best but the comfort in The Barn made up for that. There are plenty of games and DVDs, if required, to while away the time. There are also plenty of walks in the surrounding area and 48 acres on site to explore. Would love to return for a week at some point to fully explore the area, in and around, properly.

This is a magical place. Well kitted out, but simple and easy to use. All the information we needed was there - including great information about all the wonderful walks around. This was a cosy haven for a January weekend. Would thoroughly recommend

Wonderful stay, so relaxing, we are already planning to return. Great base for amazing black mountain walks but always so lovely returning to the comfort of the barn and it’s lovely setting. We loved walking up through the woods via the rope swing to fabulous mountain views, drinking morning coffee outside with Hatterrall Ridge in front of us and always having such a cosy base to return to. The rustic style is perfect and the homemade sourdough on arrival delicious. Thank you!

I was so looking forward to our weekend break and it did not disappoint. Matt and Polly have worked hard to create a lovely haven in a beautiful setting, and then been kind enough to share it with others! Though there's plenty to occupy in the locality, we were just delighted to take walks on the farm, help feed the pigs, watch the DVDs, play games and cook some absolutely delicious cookies which they left ingredients for. When we needed things we'd forgotten to bring, Matt and Polly were there to help, but we also had space to unwind. Thank you! Family of five

Literally Warm and Wonderful - an extremely well-appointed, well-equipped, spacious conversion with clear instructions on how everything works. Beautiful grounds, fantastic views and friendly homely touches on our arrival. The photos in the gallery say it all.

Amazing location with stunning views; fantastic place for a family with children - pigs, chicken, sheep and plenty of space to explore; beautiful well equipped light and airy barn with comfy beds. We would definitely recommend this place.

We had such a great week and it was difficult to leave. Warmth and wonder is a very special place - perfect with kids for rambling through the woods/stream and very peaceful. Also Matt and Polly were very helpful in terms of flexibility with arrival/departure time.

We have just returned from a wonderful weekend at the Warmth and Wonder barn. It was a beautiful retreat, so peaceful with stunning views, and we enjoyed rambling about the grounds and woods. The barn is a great space, very homely and comfortable, and we were made to feel so welcome by the owners and their children. My toddler adored the place, as did we, and we hope to return soon. Double thumbs up!
