Hired this for 8 adults for 3 nights. It felt nice and spacious and the kitchen was very well equipped. Lovely quiet location and it was great to watch the sheep and horses going past the property every day.

We had a great stay while attending a nearby youth rugby tournament. The children loved seeing the animals on the farm, and setting had the beautiful surroundings. The foosball table was a hit with both the kids and adults, providing plenty of entertainment (wish the old x-box controllers still worked!). The beds were cosy and comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep after a busy weekend. We would happily stay again.

Our week at Wern Farm Barn was great. The house is spacious and we spent lots of time in the big kitchen/dining area. Being on a farm was really interesting with the horses and sheep going back-and-forth. The deck area by the stream was really lovely to have, as was the table tennis table. We had everything we needed, walked to the local pub, and had a couple of fantastic walks straight from the property up to the amazing 360 views on both sides. We also visited nearby Tretower, Crickhowell, Venison Center and a little further to Big Pit and the Ironworks at Blaenavon and Hay-on-Wye. Everyone around the farm was very friendly and the communication has been straight foward.
