The barn sits on the land of a working smallholding, so your first holiday activity may well be sampling the fresh produce. Head off for a mile s walk into the heart of Hay on Wye, browse independent shops and cafes, attend a literary event, and soak in the town s bookish history. Or take a stroll around Hay Castle, a 12th century medieval fort and 17th century mansion, before stretching your legs on one of the many walks that wind into the Brecon Beacons National Park. The barn itself has been thoughtfully and stylishly converted. The rooms flow into one another, in an open plan yet cosy design, brought together with natural tones and traditional details, like the flagstone floor. The main space is a bright sitting room, where you ll find elegant seating, a wood burner and TV, and French doors leading out to the patio. The kitchen is a sweet space with a dining table, perfect for romantic meals. Walk through and you ll come to your shower room and luxurious king size bedroom, dressed with vintage French furniture and with an inspiring view of the fields to wake up to. Outside the barn, you have your own patio area with a BBQ so you can sit out in the fresh air and enjoy your morning coffee before heading into town.
