Gather your loved ones and take a step back in time with a stay in this beautiful barn, sleeping eight in four bedrooms within 30 peaceful acres of farmland.

An abundance of activities in the local area will keep everyone happy, so spend an afternoon browsing the eclectic book shops of Hay-on-Wye or take a group visit to get the pulses racing at Battlelands Paintball before returning to laze next to the warmth of the crackling wood burner.

 

Rustic in style yet with modern conveniences, exposed stone walls and wooden beams reflect this barn building’s original construction with the traditional features lovingly retained throughout.

The four bedrooms boast countryside views, and are comfortable and cosy – and, with the en-suite shower room and family bathroom, there is no queuing! The spacious interiors are matched perfectly by the far-reaching surroundings. Roam freely in the fields or climb higher for a picnic along the well-waymarked footpaths. Discover a the secret, enclosed children's hideout for endless hours of fun. The small enclosed garden with table and chairs is perfectly placed to enjoy the summer sun.

Excellent in many ways: a quiet location, a good starting point for walks (with directions by the owners), a friendly welcome, comfortable beds, a well equipped kitchen, a cosy living room, in splendid surroundings. We (a family of eight adult Belgian tourists) utterly enjoyed our stay.

Shoppe Barn is spacious, warm and comfortable. The beds were wonderful and so were the lounge sofas (It's also cooler down there in the warm weather). As we were working we didn't venture out much but it was a delight to wake to just the sound of birds and the breeze and delight in the peace and quiet.

A lovely, cosy place to stay, very warm and full of character. Plenty of hot water and a generous amount of wood included for the stove. We had a very enjoyable weekend as a group of friends, walking from barn and further afield, visiting Symonds Yat, swimming in the Wye, and completing the Three Castles Walk.

The house was ideal for our holiday with 5 adults and 2 young girls (and a dog).. We had loads of space and enjoyed the dingle where there was a slide , play house and swings. Beautiful area and I definitely recommend the walk to the waterfall but check when the ice cream parlour is open!

We had a great stay here over Christmas. We were two families of four and one dog. The property is very clean and very well equipped. The layout is great to give children space to play and the kitchen has a nice seating area. Would love to return here and explore the area.

Lovely location. Really well presented dog-friendly property. Clean tidy and a lovely welcome basket on arrival. Instructions were very clear and good documentation about the house itself and other local amenities. We followed the local walks as recommended by the owner. We had a fantastic time.
