This rural retreat has been sympathetically finished with an eclectic mix of both old and new, simply perfect for those wanting to explore the Herefordshire countryside and Brecon Beacons National Park
For a staycation with style, look no further than this stunning detached barn conversion in charming Herefordshire. Set on a traditional farm, this rural retreat offers an escape from everyday life for a family or two couples. After a day spent tackling the Black Mountains, canoeing along the River Wye or browsing the bookshops of Hay-on-Wye, cosy up beside the roaring wood burner or toast marshmallows on the crackling firepit while admiring the spectacular starry skies above.
Finished to an exacting standard, you will find it hard to leave this beautifully converted barn, with its sociable open-plan layout, exposed beams and careful blend of old and new furniture. While keen cooks rustle up delicious, locally sourced menus in the industrial-chic kitchen, making use of the Neff appliances, fellow guests can enjoy an evening aperitif in the cosy seating area. Kick back and listen to a playlist through the Bluetooth sound system while admiring the rural views through the bi-fold doors. After meals, fire up the contemporary wood burner, sink into one of the invitingly plump sofas and enjoy your favourite movie on the Smart TV. Upstairs, two elegant bedrooms share a serene bathroom complete with walk-in shower and free-standing bath. Step outside from the kitchen to dine al fresco to the sound of birdsong in the surrounding trees.
On this traditional working farm where cider apples and blackberries grow alongside a thoroughbred racecourse enterprise, peace and tranquility are guaranteed. Set out from the property to enjoy a leisurely stroll through acres of farmland, passing lakes and pockets of woodland along the way, finishing off with a mouth-watering meal at the local pub. Or, for the more seasoned hikers, join the Offa’s Dyke Path on the Hatterall Ridge (16 miles), or take on Hay Bluff (19 miles) and the Black Mountains. Don’t miss a visit to the literary mecca of Hay-on-Wye (14.5 miles), home to world-famous bookshops, a farmer’s market and a canoe hire centre.
