Lower Barn in Herefordshire receives high praise for its stunning views, peaceful setting, and quality furnishings. Guests consistently mention the cleanliness, comfort, and thoughtful touches such as welcome packs and fresh flowers. The property's location is ideal for scenic walks and exploring the Golden Valley and Brecon Beacons. While the steep stairs and approach lane are noted, the overall experience is one of relaxation and luxury in a beautifully renovated cottage.

Guests that stayed at this property said

Guests unanimously describe Lower Barn as spotlessly clean, with several reviews highlighting it as the cleanest place they've ever stayed. The attention to cleanliness is evident throughout the property.

The property boasts a peaceful and secluded location with spectacular rural views, ideal for walks and wildlife watching. Its proximity to Hereford, the Golden Valley, and the Brecon Beacons is highly appreciated by guests.

Reviewers find the barn to be very comfortable, with special mentions of the cosy log fire, comfortable beds, and high-quality linens. The property's charm and peacefulness contribute to the overall comfort.

The barn is well-equipped and beautifully furnished, though the absence of a washing machine is noted. The steep staircases add character but may not suit everyone. The approach lane's condition is mentioned, suggesting some maintenance is needed.

Many guests express gratitude for the thoughtful extras provided by the hosts, such as welcome groceries and treats. While these gestures are greatly appreciated, it is politely noted that such gifts, though common, are not guaranteed with every stay.

About this property

Perched on Stockley Hill near Peterchurch, with exceptional countryside views, is this charming barn conversion, Lower Barn. Enjoying its own garden area with a picnic bench and barbecue, this beautiful holiday home makes for a great base for four friends or a family of adults and teenagers. Drive up the private stone track, where you can park up and admire the rolling countryside views. Step through a stable door and discover the sitting room, oozing with rustic charm with its woodburning stove; here you can unwind on the sofa with a cup of tea and escape into the pages of a book. Moving through the home, locate the dining room, featuring an elegant table; tuck-into a feast, or on rainy days, enjoy a traditional board game. Rustle up home-cooked dishes in the kitchen, before savouring the incredible views and final moments of the sun from the garden. As day turns to night, choose between two wonderful mezzanine bedrooms, a double and a twin, both with en-suites to prepare for a night’s rest. Awaken with a shower or relax your muscles in the freestanding bath to start your day right. If you fancy a break from the kitchen, take a scenic drive into the village of Peterchurch to enjoy a hearty meal at The Nags Head and pick up the essentials from the local village shop and Post Office, or a nearby supermarket. Venture to the market town of Hay-on-Wye, known as a 'book town' with its abundance of book shops; here you can enjoy strolls along the River Wye, unique cinema, or dine out at a fancy restaurant or a selection of intriguing and quirky pubs. Head further afield into the cathedral city of Hereford, former home of the great composer Sir Edward Elgar, and immerse yourself in culture with a visit to the Mappa Mundi; An intriguing tour can be found at the Hereford Cider Museum Trust, or you can spend a day exploring the quaint streets and boutique stores. For all this and more, choose Lower Barn.

The village of Peterchurch, with its few bars and restaurants, is located on the River Dore in the lovely Golden Valley, which is bordered to the west by the Black Mountains and to the east by mild hills. Hay-on-Wye, a charming market town just 10 miles away, is famous for its 30-plus book shops, superb pubs, restaurants, and antique shops, making it one of Wales' most popular tourist destinations. The village is surrounded by pastureland and forest and is close to the Offa's Dyke and Wye Valley footpaths, which are covered in primroses, violets, celandine, and bluebells in the spring.

    We could find no fault .Very generous provisions provided for our arrival and lovely bunch of flowers. We were sorry to leave

  • Sue

    The cottage was comfortable and equipped with everything we needed. The owners are friendly and welcoming but not obtrusive. Arriving to find fresh flowers, the lights on and music playing - plus kitchen supplies and treats, was much appreciated.

  • Mary

    Lots of unexpected extras provided and much appreciated. The views and surrounding countryside are stunning. So quiet and peaceful and so blissfully remote.
