We came to the annexe for our Christmas, arriving on Christmas Day. Dave & Jo were brilliant from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble. The directions were clear but so helpful. We loved it so much, we will definitely be coming back. thanks The Wilsons

Peaceful chill

The hosts are great and really make an effort with the communication pre-arrival. The Barn is lovely, spotlessly clean and well equipped and a great standard, the views from the barn are superb.We had a nice peaceful undisturbed break and enjoyed the local walking. Book it, you won’t be disappointed!

Perfect hideaway

Beautiful spot. Lovely well appointed property with everything you may need carefully thought of and supplied... Including some delicious welcome treats! We stayed here as a pit stop heading north and loved it... Instructions to get there were perfect and added to the sense of adventure. Definitely the place to go if you want some peace and quiet.

The location was stunning. 1000 ft up with magnificent views. We had great weather so sitting outside and watching the birds who seemed to do special displays for us! The instructions on how to find the property were excellent (one tricky bit on the last leg which was to look out for a telegraph pole!). Almost equidistant between Builth Wells, Brecon and Hay-on-Way it was ideally located - great gallery at Erwood itself, definitely worth a visit. If you are a walker this is a wonderful place to stay. The accommodation was spacious and satisfactorily equipped.

Comfortable, stylish accommodation in a beautiful location

The barn annexe is a spacious, comfortable option for anyone wanting to enjoy the peace and wonderful views across the valley. Dave and Jo were very generous hosts. We were walking the Wye Valley Way and they kindly offered to pick us up from the village to save a long walk up the hill. Would love to have had more time to enjoy this lovely cottage and think it would make a great base for anyone wanting to explore the region. I would definitely return if back in the area. Communication with the owners was also excellent and they are very thoughtful hosts. Highly recommend the Barn Annexe
