What a lovely quiet spot! Perfect location if you like walks. The accommodation is equipped with essential kitchen items. The upstairs loft bed is a quirky addition, and quite comfortable! Would happily stay here again in future.

We recently stayed at Penlan Granary and were more than happy with the accommodation. Sarah and Andrew were very welcoming. Andrew was very knowledgeable about the area. We found the Granary to be a little gem and would definitely recommend it to family. Many thanks Sarah and Andrew.

We have just returned from an 11 day stay, although we have visited Hay many times this was our first in the Cowshed. We found it to be very clean and comfortable, all on one level, which is a bonus, along with good wifi and Smart TV including catchup channels. There is ample off road parking, and private outside space, with a view over open countrRead moreyside. It was lovely to have a separate bath and shower. The owner was very welcoming and helpful. Definitely recommend, will visit again. Hide

Lovely peaceful location on a working farm with great surrounding views and walking on the doorstep. Luggage space is limited.A comfortable and very well maintained property. All utilities worked very well without any issues. Andrew & Sarah were the perfect hosts.
