Guests enjoyed the thoughtful touches like the welcome hamper and homemade cake. The hot tub is frequently mentioned as a highlight, offering relaxation amidst beautiful scenery. Despite some minor maintenance issues and the presence of insects, which are to be expected in the countryside, the overall experience is highly regarded by visitors.
Guests have described the property as immaculate upon arrival, indicating a high standard of cleanliness. There are no significant complaints about cleanliness, suggesting that it is well-maintained.
The location is highly praised for its spectacular views and tranquil setting. It is mentioned as a great base for exploring the surrounding areas, with wildlife sightings adding to the charm. The rural setting contributes to a peaceful atmosphere.
The property is frequently described as comfortable, with a spacious and well-equipped kitchen, warm floors, and a cosy atmosphere even in colder months. The presence of a hot tub adds to the comfort level, although there was a mention of it being very hot inside during a heatwave.
Facilities are generally well-received, with the hot tub being a standout feature. The property is equipped for large groups, and the kitchen is well-stocked. However, there are some reports of maintenance issues such as leaks during a storm and a shower that only produced scalding hot water, which slightly lowers the score.
The hosts are commended for their thoughtfulness, with several mentions of a welcome hamper and homemade treats. While these gestures are greatly appreciated by guests, it is politely noted that such gifts, while common, are not guaranteed for every stay.
About this property
Bleddfa 3 miles. A beautifully converted barn with a modern style and real feeling of comfort and luxury, set adjacent to the owners home on the familys working sheep farm in the stunning undulating countryside of the Welsh Marches in a tiny hamlet of Monaughty, three miles from the quaint villages of Bleddfa and Llangunllo. A perfect base for friends and family who are looking for somewhere to relax and enjoy each others company as well as being surrounded by great days out.

There is a well-equipped kitchen, with everything you need to make the most of the dining area and comfy seating perfect to curl up in front of the TV. This also opens out into an additional sitting room with a vaulted glass apex window, perfect to sit, chat and watch the sun go down across the valley. Outside, you can sit on the patio, relax in the luxury of the hot tub and just take in the stunning valley view, enjoying a glass of something cool before sitting down for dinner and an enjoyable social evening. The barn is a short drive from the thriving market town of Knighton, set on Offas Dyke Path, hugely popular with walkers and cyclists with great little places to eat. You are ideally placed to explore the fabulous ever changing surrounding countryside from the Radnor Forest and diverse landscape of the Welsh Marches with Offas Dyke winding its way onwards towards the Shropshire Hills, an Area of of Outstanding Natural Beauty which is peppered with quaint little towns and villages, including the Black and White trail.

Why not grab a round of golf at either nearby Knighton or a little further afield at Kington, said to be the highest golf course in England. Kington also offers Hergest Croft Gardens and tearooms or for a great family day out, as well as the Small Breeds Farm Park and Owl Centre. Slightly further afield, within an hours drive away, why not take a trip to Ludlow, a pretty medieval town, popular for its gastronomic delights, or perhaps visit the National Trust property of Berrington Hall near the popular town of Leominster, known for its apple trees, fabulous walled gardens and Capability Brown parkland. A perfect retreat offering luxurious and spacious accommodation with breathtaking views, ideal for friends and family looking to spend quality time in each others company, perhaps relax in the hot tub, yet being close to fantastic local countryside and great days out.

We have the most memorable weekend away for our mothers surprise 70th. The property is absolutely stunning, perfectly clean and well kept. There was absolutely everything you would need there. The welcome email from Melissa and Matt a week prior was so unbelievably helpful, so much so i referred back to it for tips and places to visit multiple times during our stay. Working in the events and tourism industry i must say this is by far the best property i have ever stayed at. Even if i could have found a fault it would have been quickly outweighed by the fact everything else was so perfect! Thank you so much for allowing us to create such special and memorable moments with our friends and family.
