Country property In Rural Herefordshire / Powys border near Hay on Wye

Meadow End Barn sleeps 12 in 6 bedrooms (the sixth bedroom is open to the sitting room up a spiral staircase on mezzanine), peaceful village location, 6 miles from Hay on Wye. Lovely stone property with huge sitting room great for large parties set in courtyard with private parking and walled garden.

Up to date interiors with 6 bedrooms (4 on the ground floor) and a 6th open plan bedroom set on a mezzanine. 5 shower or bathrooms, three ensuite. All with underfloor heating. Filled with creature comforts and very well equipped kitchen. 2 dogs welcome. Walking distance to the village pub. Great walking area with Black mountains and Brecon Beacons to hand.

A note about accessibility…. unfortunately the house isn’t really suitable for wheelchair users because the kitchen and living space is upstairs. There is an exposed cobbled landing (uneven) leading to the bedrooms on the ground floor. We don’t supply baby gates and there is an open landing which has bannisters but there is a drop to the floor below.

Dorstone/Hay

An ideal place to stay, we did so for a 60th birthdays celebration. Accommodated all 12 adults in comfort, allowing us to have a celebratory meal and drinks. Trips to nearby Hay and the Arthur’s Stone ridge by the property. An excellent weekend, thank you Coralie.

Great weekend break

We had a great time with our friends staying at this Property. There is plenty of room and we were fortunate enough to have a couple of dry days that allowed us to sit outside in the garden for a few drinks. We also made use of the Pandy Inn just up the road.

Friends weekend away

We have just returned from staying at Meadow Barn and what a lovely experience it was! The accommodation is superb and our host, Coralie very friendly and helpful. There are beautiful walks from the doorstep and Hay on Wye and Hereford are only a short drive away. A perfect place for a group of friends or family gathering - we have already booked to return again next year!

Exceptional stay

Exceeded all expectations. The property is beautiful, cosy, and perfectly set up for large groups. More bathrooms/ensuites than you can count, comfy linen, stocked kitchen, and a table big enough for all guests to enjoy dinner together. Extra callout to the extremely comfy chairs around the log fire, perfect for a quiet weekend of reading. Coralie is an exceptional host, responsive, informative, and friendly. If the place is available for your dates, stop reading and book. It is wonderful. We will definitely be back.

Fantastic converted barn

Coralie was a great host. The building is lovely, great communal area and sociable kitchen space. Beds were very comfy. The oven is slower which wasn’t listed till we got a welcome pdf so Christmas was a lot slower- but certainly wouldn’t stop us going again. There were plenty of showers and loos. Coralie left a few decorations up which was appreciated .the house had everything we needed- an abundance of cookware/plates and mugs..

Utterly amazing

The pictures made me think it was too good to be true but it was even better than this! Stunning property and so much space. Well insulated - we actually had to turn the heating off. The kitchen is laid out very well and a sociable space whilst being functional. Superb location for dog walking and hill running.

Simply Stunning!

Meadow End Barn was the perfect choice for our family get together. We had a group of 8 adults and 4 children staying at this spacious property. It was presented in immaculate condition with a well equipped kitchen and the added bonus of those extra home comforts. Everyone in the group commented on just how nice the property was. We all thoroughly enjoyed our family meals on the large 12 place dining table. Highly recommended property and would love to stay again in the future.

A comfortable quality barn

Set in a small village with a friendly pub, this barn was really comfortable and warm to stay in. The kitchen was great. We love cooking and there was an excellent range of utensils, cutlery and crockery. Everything in the property, from the towels to the tableware was quality. The entrance was a stone floor which was great for the dog during a wet week. The owners were very friendly. Despite the weather we found plenty to do in the area.

Exceeded our expectations

We had the most wonderful time celebrating a big family birthday. Everyone loved the barn. The stand outs for us - (1) Ample seating with enough space for everyone to do their own thing, (2) great big dining table for us to enjoy meals together, (3) sizeable and very well stocked kitchen, (4) lovely outdoor space for eating and playing, (5) beautiful surrounding area and we loved Hay on Wye. My nephews loved the mezzanine bedroom but it was a little restrictive at night time but the kitchen was big enough for the party to continue in :) We would go back in a heartbeat!

Fabulous weekend, in a fabulous property!

We were a group of 10 friends and one dog, who spent a great weekend in this property and couldn’t recommend it highly enough. It was very comfortable, homely and well equipped. As a group we have stayed in quite a few properties throughout the UK, but we all agreed this was probably the best to date. The sociable layout was perfect and the bedrooms very comfortable. Coralie, the owner provided us with useful information up front and communicated with us really well. Location wise it was perfect for visiting the lovely Hay on Wye and the fantastic Pandy Inn was in walking distance where we had a great Sunday lunch. If you’re looking for a place to stay you couldn’t go wrong with this one. Thank you & hopefully we’ll be back at some point in the future.
