The Great Hay Barn was ideal for our 70 to 80 year old group. There are lots of steps so guests need to be agile. Great benefit of 2 bedrooms on the ground floor with own bathrooms. The beds are very comfortable and lovely white linen bedding to dive onto at night! Bright and spacious inside. Lots of walks from the door Can't wait to find an excuseRead more to return! Hide

Very impressive barn to match the impressive location. Perfect for large groups due to the size of the property, with different chill out areas. Excellent outdoor space too, though the weather kept us indoors with the log burner.

I cannot recommend the Great Hay Barn highly enough - the PERFECT venue for a family gathering. The barn is enormous, offering plenty of space for everyone to spread out whilst still feeling warm and cosy. The dining area sits 18 people comfortably and is fantastic for hosting mealtimes for the extended family. The bedrooms are extremely comfortablRead moree with quirky features which children will love. The games room, gardens and walk to Hay-on-Wye provides plenty of entertainment for all. We LOVED it!
