The Medieval Barn,

STUNNING PERIOD PROPERTY WITHIN THE BRECON BEACONS

This Barn is everything we think a family holiday home should be; stylish, beautiful, comfortable and brimming with character. Once inside, your gaze is drawn up to the fully restored oak ceiling, the beams criss cross the full length of the barn and lend an atmosphere of warmth and cosiness.

There is lots to do in the area, from hiring bikes and cycling into Hay-on-Wye, or pedal further along the Subtrans routes, hiring canoes or even Vespas from the nearby River Cafe. The Black Mountains are in easy reach, as are the Brecon Beacons, with something available for every level of adventurer. The River Wye is at the bottom of the fields nearby, with canoeing hire in nearby Glasbury. Fishermen will enjoy the River Usk & River Wye for a casting day. Or check out the spectacular waterfalls in the National Park. There is the Cathedral town of Brecon 12 miles away, the City of Hereford with impressive Cathedral housing the ancient Mappa Mundi 20 miles.
