The barn is set in a unique and secluded location, at the foot of the Black Mountains. Nestling at the end of a 500m private track, it has a dramatic 240 degree view from the Black Mountains to the Brecon Beacons. The stunning glass doors to both sides open onto the lawned garden and the enormous panorama of the Wye valley, wooden furniture on the flagstone terrace makes this a perfect spot for star gazing. There is woodland around the barn which is perfect for exploring and a small stream runs below for paddling. The dramatic waterfalls at Pwll-y-Wrach are nearby. The hamlet of Llanelieu has a medieval church with 14th Century rood screen and painted loft and the old village stocks remain outside. It is also the home of Black Mountain Pottery.
