During your stay at this lovingly restored retreat, you will be living in the curtilage of a Grade I listed building, Wellbrook Manor, where carbon dating has produced a date of 1374, to the delight of the owners.
The property has been sympathetically renovated and transformed into a tasteful and comfortable accommodation for families or groups alike. Much of the accommodation is on the ground floor, with a useful hallway/boot room at the entrance and two of the four bedrooms located within the original stable area to the right. To the left is the beautiful open-plan living, kitchen and dining space. The dining table seats eight guests and the sitting room area is centred around a cosy and inviting wood burning stove. The added luxury of underfloor heating throughout the ground floor makes The Garden Barn a welcoming retreat in all seasons. From the modern and well-equipped kitchen, a beautifully crafted oak staircase leads up to the galleried landing area with feature glazed floor box, exposed beams and bedroom two with a 4'6 double bed. Guests using this bedroom have use of the ground floor family shower room. From the entrance hallway the staircase leads up to bedroom one with its 6' king-size bed and en-suite shower room, again bursting with character with exposed timbers throughout.
Outside in the delightful grounds, guests are invited to enjoy the maze and enclosed lavender garden, with its exquisite aroma, the perfect spot to watch the sun go down.
Situated on the outer edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park and close to the Wye Valley, The Garden Barn provides the perfect base for walking and exploring the very best of Herefordshire. The market towns of Hay-on-Wye, Leominster, Hereford and Ross-on-Wye are all just a short drive from the property.
