The Experience

Swap the city for the Cambrian mountains of mid-Wales, beautiful even through the rain. 81 acres of a successful rewilding project surround you, hares and rare butterflies inhabit the valley, and red kites circle majestically above.

Light floods in to a fresh backdrop of high beams and white plaster, sheep wool fills the walls, ground-source pumps heat floors, and the panorama unfolds with the weather. What with LED mood lights and a contemporary log-burner, upstairs is irresistible, and so is the entertainment: a pool table, a drop-down screen for films, and Ruark surround sound. Get cosy upstairs at the communal elm table furnished with chapel pews, sleep downstairs in opulent beds.

Peace reigns, buzzards nest, and the rough and ready garden blends into the countryside. Gather round the barbecue, listen to the birds, feed the wild piglets. There are glamping pods and tents too.

Reviews

Alex, Market Harborough

This place was out of this world! Everything was unique and like nowhere we have visited before. The little touches to each room were creative and we especially liked the projector to watch movies on! Would definitely go again and would recommend to anyone

Recently, we enjoyed a magical break at Red Kite Barn, exploring the Welsh landscape, looking at the breath-taking Moon and Earth Conkers, observing the pigs at ‘Hogwarts’ and enjoying the freedom of being ‘in the now.’ The superfast Wi-Fi was completely unexpected and enabled us to consider a longer stay in the future. We stayed for a weekend, yet felt completely rejuvenated. Imagine the feeling after a week! David and Anjana have created an iconic haven - a retreat with a modern, stylish twist. Time stops here and we will be counting the days until we can return!

As a weekend away for my 40th Birthday I really couldn't of asked for a better venue. The Red Kite Barn offered an escape from everyday life and gave beautiful peaceful views with lots of wildlife to see. With clear frosty evenings in the hot tub with a few drinks to evenings with music, a game of pool and watching movies on the huge projector screen, we didn't need to venture out much at all, except for visiting Hogwarts, the on site Pigs, and walks around the site. Gigrin Farm is also a must visit to watch the wild kites being fed and only 10 minutes away. I didn't want to leave.

We recently stayed at Red Kite Barn for a few nights and absolutely loved everything about it! The barn itself had everything you could want (plus amazing extras like the cinema screen and projector) and we loved exploring the surrounding land; feeding the pigs on a couple of mornings and watching the breathtaking dark skies at night. Neither of us had ever seen so many stars in such detail. P.S. if snow is forecast and you don’t have a 4 WD best to check with Anjana if you can get up the drive ok.

Well what can we say a stunning barn and location with everything you could possibly need just added to by a covering of snow. We’d love to keep this place to ourselves but the owners really do have a very unique place here that they are so willing to share. Matt,Claire and Saffie the spaniel. December 22

Location

The neighbourhood

The barn is utterly secluded, surrounded by 80 acres of conservation woodland. Wallow in the peace or make as much noise as you like. The closest shops are in Newbridge, 3 miles, and Llandridnod and Builth Wells are nearby for essentials. Rhayder has some good pubs and shops for browsing.

Local points of interest from Anjana Devoy

  • Fantastic location for spotting birds of prey and indeed the namesake of the estate - the Red Kites! You are surrounded by 80 acres of private estate. Squirrels, sheep and rare flora are abundant! We have an app which has loads of information available.
  • Pen-doll Rocks, Builth Wells: a lovely stretch of the Wye just outside Builth Wells with a variety of flat rocks and wooden planks that connect them and fairly easy access to the water. and a cliff that the fearless jump from. Approx.7 miles from the barn.
  • Borth, just north of Aberystwyth on Wales’ western shoreline, has great sand dunes to explore, with beach and water on each side. Park on Beach and enjoy the Dyfi nature reserve, ice cream van to and watch the kite surfers!
  • Strata Florida and it’s magnificent arch and ruins; all that remains of a grand monastery from medieval times. Take the scenic route back over the mountain road, taking in the abandoned lead mines and Elan Valley Reservoirs. Beautiful drive.
  • Turning right out of the estate will take you to the largest area of high moorland in England and Wales, and you can go in any direction you like. Plan on taking a compass and some good walking shoes.
  • If you are in the mood for more culture, check out Willow Globe, south of Rhayader. It is a wonderfully quirky mini- Globe made from planter willow trees, and beautifully intimate. It has a varied programme of Shakespeare plays and visiting companie
