"Beautiful property."
It is very isolated (I knew this, it suited me). Hard to find but follow signs to Broxwood out of Lyonshall (left turn). The lane is very small and even for an experienced driver like me, was challenging! There are stairs to the property but there are 2 hand rails so no issue (as a 55 year old single traveller with some minor mobility issues) No problems even when wet. Property clean and ready to go, all cleaning products available; fresh eggs on the side

"We enjoyed a wonderful week at the Hay Loft."
Glyn and Cei were very helpful hosts and nothing too much trouble for them. Very comfy bed and the shower was fabulous, as we really enjoy our shower as opposed to a bath. The Hayloft had everything we needed including lying in bed and looking at the stars through the skylight above the bed .. magic.

"The Hayloft, was a great last minute retreat for the two of us, in a beautiful quiet part of the Herefordshire, we enjoyed exploring the area and visiting some great places (Berrington Hall, Croft Castle, Stokesay Castle, Hampton Court Castle, Hereford, Canwood Art Gallery (check opening times), Hay-on-Wye to name but a few)."
The view of the stars on a clear night is amazing as there is little in the way of light pollution and we got to see the milky way, the farm is a working farm, but it didn't disturb us at all in fact it was a pleasure to be there and see it. The property is comfortable and almost all in one space which was great, the bed was comfortable although it lacked curtains which might affect those light sensitive so I suggest a sleep mask. Overall a fabulous little find in a lovely area.

"This farm is very remote and hard to find particularly in the dark; however there is an adorable old gentleman whose house sits exactly where the satnav takes you pleased to direct you and probably just glad to speak to another human."
This is a working farm so expect the water supply to be a bit up and down, expect a little noise (we had a pneumatic drill) and expect a few flies.
This place is truly unique.

Only one thing to be aware of is although the room was really nice there are no blinds over the roof windows so you need to be ok with the early morning sun.

"My husband and I spent five relaxing days at the Hayloft, and it was a great place to unwind - even during Storm Francis!"
The Hayloft itself was in immaculate shape: just the right blend of rustic charm and modern conveniences (including wifi and a brilliant standing oscillating fan that we loved so much, I bought an identical one off Amazon for our house) to be an ideal getaway for a couple. The owners have put a lot of thought into what would be helpful, providing a guide to local attractions, walking routes and places to eat, as well as brochures about places of interest.
Sourbrook Farm is a working farm, which is one of the benefits. We met a curious cat, two friendly dogs, a recently-foaled horse and a trio of noisy gallinas. The farm is also close to the Small Breeds Farm Park and Owl Centre, so it is a good holiday spot if you want to meet some friendly animals.
The farm is a great starting point for heading out to attractions in Herefordshire or in Wales, and the Hayloft is a welcoming place to retire at the end of a day. Highly recommended - would go again.

"Staying at The Hayloft was a lovely experience."
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 owners were lovely people and always kind and helpful and we very much enjoyed being on the 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.
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, Property Owner

"The hayloft is very cosy and although it is in the depths of the countryside it doesn't take long to get to a town as the roads are very quiet."
What makes it special are the owners who are very friendly and had supplied us with some basic food items when we arrived which in our experience of renting is unusual. They remained helpful and obliging throughout the whole of the holiday. The metal steps up to the accommodation could be a bit of a challenge for anybody with mobility issues especially if they had a dog.
