A lovely property in a tucked away destination. Situated just outside of a village this barn is well appointed, cosy and comfortable. Lovely views from the property. Having 2 bathrooms was a bonus. Convenient for the major towns in the area and local tourist sites. The area is quite undulating so cycling, walking from the property will include hillRead mores and narrow lanes! Overall a great stay. Hide

The Barn is a lovely place to stay and relax. It is well equipped and well situated for the amenities in the area, particularly for National Trust members like us who took advantage of visiting Berrington Hall, Croft Castle and Powis Castle.
