What guests are saying
We had a wonderful stay at the Art Barn.
The setting was beautiful and peaceful in the heart of Herefordshire and close to nature. The barn was beautifully restored and comfortable and spacious! Quite a unique place to be. Thankyou to our lovely hosts and we would definitely return.
The property was beautiful and bigger than it appeared in the photos; really high vaulted ceiling on the upper level.
As stated very clearly in the listing, you do need to duck under some beams and a door on the upper level, however, this didn’t bother us at all and we spent most of our time in the upper level living area. Lovely setting with a great view and incredibly peaceful. A large and eclectic range of reading material available throughout the property which was much appreciated. A well-equipped, modern kitchen and modern bathroom. We will definitely be checking the availability of this property next time we are in the area. A property that is perfect for a relaxing, rural retreat.
The art house is the converted end of a very long barn.
There is another self catering place at the other end. It’s in a very peaceful place surrounded by countryside and bird song. It’s about a 20 min walk down to the village. The lamb inn pub does exist despite there being no directions and it not being on any map. Turn right at the finger post sign in the village. They serve nice food and good beer and there’s a nice pub garden. The interior of the art house is just like the pictures and very luxuriously furnished. So much so that it felt a little difficult to relax in. The kitchen is well equipped but there’s no dishwasher. There’s nice views from upstairs. The upstairs beams are really low, with 2 running the length of the barn- you need to be a small child not to have to duck. The whole place is mainly open plan apart from the bedroom and bathroom which has a very low beam at entrance. There is access to a permitted area of outside space at the back of the barn which has sun in the morning shade in the evening. (This is accessed by walking around the side of the barn). With lovely views of the trees and the rest of the owners garden. The owners property faces the 2 entrances at the front- sharing a court yard. This makes it not the most private space we have stayed in. The owners are friendly and helpful and there is access to an EV charger at a prearranged cost with the owner. Sykes could have listed this better to save extra enquiries. Overall we had a lovely stay.
