On the other side of the house is the master bedroom with super-king-size bed and en-suite bathroom with interconnecting single bedroom which are on the same level as the entrance way. A further flight of stairs leads to two more super-king-sized rooms (which can be made into twins on request at time of booking) with another bathroom with roll top bath and separate shower.

Beautiful barn, perfect for a large family group, with space to come together to eat and socialise, but enough room to have quiet time with a cosy sitting room and a comfortable tv room. The property has a lovely family feel, with beautiful paintings, quirky furnishings and comfy beds.. The views from the property are stunning - we were treated to Read moresome beautiful sunsets over the valley. Beautiful walks from the door, and Abergavenny just a short distance away for supplies.

The barn was gorgeous, my family and I loved it. It is so beautifully styled and really spacious. 9 of us easily had lots of space. The garden was lovely for our evening meals in the sun and we would happily book to come back every year. Super close to Hay on Wye for a lovely mooch. Absolutely lush weekend. Thank you!!!
