Make Your Stay Your Own
The three properties give groups the flexibility to create a stay that works for them. The three retreats are not in the same location, so are best rented independently.
The Barns particularly well suited to celebrations, multigenerational family gatherings and group occasions. Arrange a private chef or in-house dining experience, gather around the pizza oven or BBQ, raise a glass in the dedicated bar areas or settle into the cinema and games rooms for an evening together.
There’s plenty to enjoy outdoors too, from relaxing in your private hot tub to exploring the surrounding countryside. With dark skies creating excellent conditions for stargazing, even staying close to home can feel like part of the experience.
Explore South Herefordshire
Set amongst the rolling countryside of South Herefordshire, The Barns offer a peaceful base for exploring a part of the county known for its market towns, historic landmarks, local food and beautiful landscapes. Days can be as active or unhurried as you like, with walking and cycling routes, country pubs and scenic drives all within easy reach.
Spend the morning browsing independent shops and cafés in Ross-on-Wye, explore the historic streets of Hereford or head to Hay-on-Wye to lose an afternoon among its famous bookshops. For a change of pace, discover local vineyards and artisan food producers, visit beautiful gardens or head into the Wye Valley, Black Mountains or Malvern Hills for spectacular countryside walks.
There’s plenty to enjoy closer to home too. Pick up local produce for a relaxed meal back at your property, settle into a country pub for a long lunch or simply take in the views and enjoy the slower pace of rural Herefordshire. After a day exploring, return to your barn or cottage for a soak in the hot tub, dinner together and an evening beneath the stars.
