Overview
Property code: BN167

This sweet and stylish barn sits less than a mile outside ‘Book Town’. Explore the literary haunts of Hay-on-Wye and get inspired with a walk through the Brecon Beacons National Park.

Exuding sophisticated style, make yourself right at home in this lovely barn conversion where the open-plan living area is a lovely space in which to relax. Fire up the wood burner in the lounge or throw open the French doors on sunny days to let the outside in whilst you while away time in front of the TV. When it’s time for dinner, make use of the spacious kitchen area and cook up a storm which can be plated up either inside or out, making use of the pretty patio on warm days. There is also a BBQ which you can light for sundowner meals in summer months. Dressed with vintage French furniture, the king-size bedroom is a beautiful space in which to drift off and rest your head. The shower room has a large shower for freshening up in before you head out for adventures. The lower barn occupies the ground floor of a two-storey barn conversion.

Lovely little cottage, ideal for the 2 of us. Easy walking distance from Hay but quiet and out of the way. Appreciated the Christmas touches and the stove was wonderful after our wet walks!

Beautiful setting with easy stroll down to the River Wye. Fun interactions with the goats, chickens, geese, ducks & turkeys. Enjoyed watching so much wildlife. The welcome pack was very much appreciated with their own fresh eggs & goats cheese. The accommodation was well equipped with quality items. Comfortable king size bed. The walk-in shower wasRead more a treat. The owners, Sein & Joe were always welcoming without being in any way intrusive. Overall, brilliant! Hide

An excellent property and a pleasure to stay. The farm animals are enthralling to watch but not intrusive. Close to the Coop and not too far from the town. Many thanks for a great holiday.

Charming barn conversion (lower barn) Perfectly positioned.Short walk of 5mins to CO-OP for supplies & 5mins further on is Hay-on-Wye. Very quiet and tranquil. If you go in summer there are lots of flies, as it's a farm, so not able to sit out nor open windows. Otherwise it was a lovely relaxing location. Try the Bean Box by the river & The Boat HoRead moreuse (you need to go by car). Thursday is market day. Hide

Beautiful cottage with easy access to Hay. It was lovely to be surrounded by all the animals. Good mixture of privacy but also kind touches from hosts, such as providing eggs, milk, and butter. Would definitely want to return for longer to explore the area more.

Lovely welcome, kind hosts. A delightful little holiday cottage; on a small holding, so expect animals. The donated eggs provided were awesome. Close proximity to Hay on Wye an advantage, ditto the local Co-op. Easy parking. Some people might like darker curtains...not me !

Sian and Joe gave such a warm welcome. The comfortable cottage had a useful welcome pack including their own eggs and goats cheese which were both really tasty. It's an easy 5 minute walk to the edge of Hay (and the Co-op) and a further 5-10mins to the centre. We were there for the Hay Festival (30mins walk to the festival site) and it was fantastiRead morec to be able to return to the cottage and sit on the patio to read our newly acquired books in the sun with the goats and geese looking on.

An ideal place for two people who want to get away from it all and yet be only 20 minutes walk from Hay on Wye, its famous book shops and all the other things it has to offer in terms of shops pubs, restaurants and cafes. It is also a good base for exploring the Black Mountains and the more gentle walks along the Wye Valley. The lower barn has beenRead more converted to a high standard making it a very comfortable place to stay. The hosts, Joe and Sein were friendly and really helpful. Hide
