the eggs were so fresh and the sponge cake was lovely on our departure we had a lovely pot of homemade jam It was a location that was difficult to find be careful when using sat nav however we discovered a really lovely village which had a good pub/village shop and pointed us in the right direction

“Good holiday , good property.”

There were some issues that required to be addressed but the property owner was on site and more than willing to discuss openly.

Just returned from an Easter weekend spent here in the glorious sun. There is so much to do around the area with hay-on-wye being 25 mins down the road and some lovely national trust places near by to. The owners are lovely and couldn’t do enough for you. We will defiantly be back!

We were allowed access to all the fields on the farm which was ideal to let our puppy have a free run. Nothing was too much trouble for the really friendly people on the farm. We highly recommend the Hayloft for a break and will be returning in the future.

Very calm and tranquil as you are away from the urbanised areas of the UK. Despite that this is a working farm, noice is minimal when you are staying there. The owners are extremely welcoming and continue to chat throughout your stay. The 50 acres of land is free to explore. There is a large enclosed field, perfect for letting your dog run around off lead. Everything you need is about 10 minutes away, the town of Kington provides a large Co-Op to shop and very quirky shops to explore. Overall a pleasurable stay at The Hayloft.

“The Hayloft was a lovely place to stay and Glyn and Cei were the perfect hosts!”

Couldn't have wished for a better stay.

The kitchen is small but well equipped, and the rest of the flat is cosy and comfortable. We had a wonderful time staying on the farm - we even got to see the first lambs of the year! Great location for exploring the countryside - a short drive from the Brecon Beacons, Shropshire countryside and Hay on Wye. Highly recommended!

Miss Gadd, December 2018
“We absolutely loved The Hayloft - the accommodation itself, arrival gift of eggs and cake, Glyn and Cei, everything about it was fantastic.”

Would not hesitate to recommend it to friends/family. Best Sykes Cottages stay so far.

“Lovely accommodation.”

Very homely. Quiet and beautiful position. Very friendly and thoughtful owners. We loved the Hayloft!

We'd made this booking with pragmatism rather than any particular expectations in mind - simply intending to use the Hayloft as a base for attending a nearby wedding, and family visits. But we ended up being really glad that we'd built a couple of spare days into our schedule as we ended up not wanting to leave. The accommodation itself is quiet, clean and comfortable, with everything we needed for a short self-catering break. It was lovely being able to see the farm's horses and poultry at close quarters (and super that the Hayloft's welcoming groceries included some freshly-laid eggs from the latter). And we were so well looked after by the owners Glyn and Cei, who very kindly provided a lift to the wedding we were attending, as well as homemade cakes and preserves. Within easy driving distance we had great day trips to Hay-on-Wye (for its bookshops and cafes), and a wonderful stroll on Hergist Ridge (part of the Offa's Dyke trail) where we spotted wild horses grazing. Would definitely like to return.......

“We loved our 6 days at the Hayloft.”

Very friendly hosts, very comfortable accomodation and a perfect location for exploring and walking. As an added bonus it was sunny and hot!

Mrs Pringle, June 2018
“I enjoyed my stay at the Hayloft very much.”

The owners are so nice, helpful and very friendly and it was so good to be on a working farm.

One problem for us: We were aware that there was a metal staircase up to the Hayloft but both my husband and I found the treads a bit narrow. Because our small terrier was afraid of the open staircase my husband had to carry him up and down, and one morning when it had rained, the stairs were very slippery. However, this may have been a problem particularly for us as we are probably much older than most guests. Otherwise, everything was fine, and we were blessed with beautiful weather, which was helpful.

Mrs Plaskett, May 2018

Thank you for your kind feedback relating to your stay. I am so glad you enjoyed your stay with us. I am very sorry to hear that you had issues with the stairs being slippery. This has never been an issue in the past as the stairs are slip resistant. However we appreciate your comments and will endeavor to check this. Once again thank you for your feedback. Kind regards, Sykes owner relations
“Good accommodation on a working farm/equestrian facility.”

Marvellous countryside, excellent walks, and the owners couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful. Top notch!

About the location

ALMELEY

Kington 5.9 miles; Pembridge 7.1 miles.

The rural and picturesque village of Almeley is a fantastic spot to enjoy a break away from it all. It is home to Almeley Market and Deli which can be found by The Bells Inn. Here you can peruse the locally sourced produce, order lunch from what you see and enjoy a pint of real ale. Nearby, the small town of Kington, well regarded as a centre for walking, is celebrated by visitors for its lovely scenery and excellent walking and cycling in the surrounding rolling hills. This quiet, pleasant town offers a number of excellent shops, pubs and restaurants. There are a variety of tourist attractions close by including the Kingswood Small Breed Farm Park and Owl Centre, the pretty blooms at the Hergest Croft Gardens and the Mortimer Trail. Travel a little further to the bustling medieval village of Pembridge which lies on the Black & White Village Trail and boasts many striking 15th and 16th century half-timbered buildings, and has held markets and fairs in the village since the early 1200s. The village has a beautiful 14th century market hall, 3 traditional village pubs, an excellent village store, a cafe and a church with a unique detached bell tower. Surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside including Offa's Dyke and the Golden Valley, this is an excellent location for walking and cycling trails as well as sampling wonderful local produce at a local cheese factory, vineyard and cider farms.
