The Garden Barn is fabulous, superbly appointed and the welcome hamper was exceptional. Large comfortable living and dining area, excellent large kitchen equipped with everything one could need for self catering. Everywhere was spotlessly clean, the bedrooms well appointed, the beds very comfortable, the en suite and the second shower room were again equipped to a high standard. We've stayed in many gites in France and Italy and villas in Spain but The Barn is probably the best of all the places we have stayed in over the years.

Lovely well equipped and beautiful barn with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Things to consider are that access is up a few uneven and slippery steps so our parents (in their 80s) had to be assisted. The stables bedrooms have a thin panel wall between them so zero soundproofing. The internal stairs were fine for the elderly parents. There is barely any phone signal inside the barn but there is a signal outside. WiFi is OK. There is a good shop in the village too.

This is a wonderful cottage There was plenty of space for 5 adults, 2 children and a dog The cottage had lots of character and charm The open plan living area was perfect for us as an extended family who wanted to share cooking and entertaining The bedrooms had lots of character with some unusual features The gardens were beautiful There were secluded areas for a glass of bubbly or a cup of coffee and large open spaces where the children could play ball games or hide and seek We had a lovely day visiting Hay on Wye where we had a lovely lunch at the Granary, a walk around the quaint shops and a walk along the river There is a great walk about 20minutes drive away called The Cats Back Well worth it if you like walking We would definitely recommend this cottage We would love to stay here again

The Garden Barn was such a great place to stay and Pat & Johnny were very helpful when it came to communication and finding the place, they were also only a message away if you needed anything like more wood for the fire but were never invasive or felt like part of your stay. The barn itself is well furnished and has everything you need for your stay. The welcome hamper was also excellent. Lovely walks around the local area to be had with maps in the barns folder. If I had to make one observation it would be that it needs an outside light to light around the entrance, way/path to the garden/road and a step off the road up the little bank rather than a grass verge. This has no impact on your stay or the quality of accommodation on offer though. 5 stars and highly recommend
