Bleddfa 3 miles. A beautifully converted barn with a modern style and real feeling of comfort and luxury, set adjacent to the owner’s home on the family’s working sheep farm in the stunning undulating countryside of the Welsh Marches in a tiny hamlet of Monaughty, three miles from the quaint villages of Bleddfa and Llangunllo. A perfect base for friends and family who are looking for somewhere to relax and enjoy each other’s company as well as being surrounded by great days out. Set over three floors, there are five cosy and comfortable bedrooms, a mezzanine master bedroom with breathtaking views and en-suite on the first floor, along with two further bedrooms and a family bathroom, as well as a further two rooms on the second floor. There is a well-equipped kitchen, with everything you need to make the most of the dining area and comfy seating perfect to curl up in front of the TV. This also opens out into an additional sitting room with a vaulted glass apex window, perfect to sit, chat and watch the sun go down across the valley. Outside, you can sit on the patio, relax in the luxury of the hot tub and just take in the stunning valley view, enjoying a glass of something cool before sitting down for dinner and an enjoyable social evening. The barn is a short drive from the thriving market town of Knighton, set on Offa’s Dyke Path, hugely popular with walkers and cyclists with great little places to eat. You are ideally placed to explore the fabulous ever changing surrounding countryside from the Radnor Forest and diverse landscape of the Welsh Marches with Offa’s Dyke winding its way onwards towards the Shropshire Hills, an Area of of Outstanding Natural Beauty which is peppered with quaint little towns and villages, including the Black and White trail. The area offers some great days out, with an almost endless opportunity to walk in fabulous countryside, with fantastic cycle trails too. Why not grab a round of golf at either nearby Knighton or a little further afield at Kington, said to be the highest golf course in England.

Slightly further afield, within an hours’ drive away, why not take a trip to Ludlow, a pretty medieval town, popular for its gastronomic delights, or perhaps visit the National Trust property of Berrington Hall near the popular town of Leominster, known for its apple trees, fabulous walled gardens and Capability Brown parkland. A perfect retreat offering luxurious and spacious accommodation with breathtaking views, ideal for friends and family looking to spend quality time in each other’s company, perhaps relax in the hot tub, yet being close to fantastic local countryside and great days out.

Stayed here for a few days with family and loved it. The setting is idyllic and the hayloft itself breathtaking. Everything is good quality and generally well maintained. From arrival, with a small welcome package, to departure everything was flawless. If you are after a break from it all this is just the place. The only couple of issue we had were flies! Which the owners had tried to control but they were present in large numbers which is slightly disturbing. Also for some weird reason quite a few large lorries rumble past the end of the drive several times a day on the way up to the farm. As it’s a very rural place it’s hard to block them out. I would also recommend the owners layout a suggestions pack for walks etc that can be accessed nearby as we basically drove everywhere for lack of information. Even an evening stroll round the field opposite would be good as there seems to be very little access to anywhere. I would also suggest a couple of sun loungers would be good to enjoy the rare welsh sunshine we were lucky enough to have. Would any of this put me off recommending the hayloft - absolutely no. It is stunning.

Fantastic Family Retreat !!!!!

Stunning views !!! Beautiful house, very clean, warm and cosy. Bedrooms comfortable and spacious. Kitchen well equipped, we all loved the water/Ice machine. The open plan downstairs was perfect for a family like ours wanting to spend time together. Plenty of towels including separate ones for the hot tub which was great !! The welcome pack was a lovely touch and the lemon drizzle cake was superb !! We will definitely recommend... in fact we have already and our friends have made booking to visit in April.

Fantastic family stay - Fly's and water pressure let it down

We had a great family holiday here, The house itself is perfect, all you could want for a large family holiday plenty of room for the kids to run around and play. The hot tub was also well used!! The views were so beautiful. On arrival there was a lovely hamper with home made cakes and some refreshing drinks. The only things let really let down the stay was there seemed to be an infestation of flies - to be fair to the owners they did say they were awaiting pest control and had recently installed an insect light - however the pest control did not arrive whilst we were there. We bought about 20 fly strips during our stay which were full withing 24 hours of having put them up. Luckily for us the weather was perfect so we spent much of our time out side or out and about so was only really the evening that the flies bothered us. I would hope they have since had the pest control out to fix this issue. The only other thing was the water pressure - only one person or appliance could be used at anyone time... the shower literally stopped for 5 minutes after someone flushed the toilet . I would also recommend the owners invest in a BBQ for the summer months - with the garden space and views you really do want to be outside enjoy it! Other than those niggles it was a lovely stay! Food recommendations locally; The horse and Jockey in Knighton - we had a lovely Sunday roast The bush inn in Hereford- a little further a field but a must visit (picnic bench speciality) Google it! Enjoy!

Relaxing, cosy family retreat!

Very high standard and luxurious conversion. From the roll top bath, to the underfloor heating and the welcome hamper with the home made lemon drizzle cake. It was stunning. Everything is really well thought out and extremely comfortable and spacious, perfect for the kids to run around and tire out! Really is a credit to the owners and we can not wait to go back already! Friends of friends have already booked on our recommendation and we won't be long behind them! Only criticism is that the underfloor heating melted my Maltesers

In the middle of a fine landscape, with a great sense of place, character and comfort

This place is an experience in itself. The owners are great people and on hand if there are any problems - but there aren't any of note because they have thought everything through here - an expansive building which comfortably accommodated 11 of us, a luxurious hot tub which iin our case was enjoyed with deep snow all around, a Winter wonderland. This is a part of Wales we should all get to know better. Plenty of options for places to eat and visit locally. Can unequivocally recommend

My 50th

Just spent a fabulous week here! Stunning location, spotless house and the most attentive hosts! Highly recommended. Did not want to leave.
