Warmth and Wonder

Just what we were looking for: the seclusion, space, quality of natural/built environment and the obvious care taken by the hosts to create something special, were so welcome. We have already booked again.

Matt and Polly have created something really special at Garn Farm. It's a beautiful spot – and it was a privilege to spend a few nights there. The barn is super comfortable, with everything you need. And if it's an escape to somewhere tranquil that you are after, then this is it. Add to that tranquility the amazing views, and it all adds up to a place that is very hard to leave.

We had a beautiful stay at the Barn. Facing the Black Mountains, surrounded by streams, sheep, ducks and hens, the Barn is a very cosy retreat for a family of 4. A great week for walking and enjoying nature as a family.

Really enjoyed our stay at Warmth and Wonder, the views of the Black Mountains are spectacular, the Barn cosy and the farmland to explore with pigs and chickens to feed! You have everything you need to have a restful stay and within reach of lots of walks and places of interest to visit.

What a little hidden gem. An absolutely beautiful barn with wonderful touches, both inside and out, the photos don’t do it justice. A delightfully rural location, walks straight from your door, an idyllic and relaxing break was had. Thank you. Can we keep this our secret 🙂

The barn is comfortable and warm and the setting is beautiful and so peaceful. Good walks from the house with great views and good access to the Black Mountains and Brecon Beacons.

I really enjoyed staying at Warmth & Wonder and would highly recommend it. It's a lovely quiet setting with great views from the veranda. The spacious open plan living and kitchen area are perfect for chatting and for not isolating the chef! Matt & Polly were very welcoming but did not intrude on our holiday at all. It's a very convenient setting for day trips and the local shop/post office, Hopes of Longtown, was very well stocked and welcoming. I would certainly visit again. Thank you.

We could only book 3 nights as booked at last minute. We loved it.The views were wonderful from the decking where we had coffee and lunch when sun shone on the Saturday. The barn itself was very comfortable, huge bed, good, powerful shower over bath. Lovely touches throughout which kept it quirky but this can mean basic, but this did not apply at all here. Biking was good, if hard work coming back up the hill and walk from Longtown to Offa’s Dyke good round walk with helpful walking guides in the barn. Pub at Clodock where time had stood still but gave a good welcome and good pint. Shop in Longtown absolutely amazing. Enjoyed the home made bread, and wonderful wandering through the orchard and chatting to the chickens! Thank you, great time. We will return for longer stay.

We had an amazing family holiday. As parents of two young children we could not have been more comfortable in the barn. Extremely well set up for kids. The location is truly beautiful and our hosts were kind and welcoming. We could not recommend staying here enough!

Warmth and wonder is a perfect name for the beautiful space Matt and Polly have created on their amazing land. Their attention to detail gives such a warm welcome you instantly feel at home. The wonders that are at an arms reach from the door of the Barn are captivating, you don't have to go far to be emerged in nature and wildlife. Relaxed and recharged is how we reluctantly left. We definately recommend a stay at The Barn.

Just returned from a lovely weekend, away from it all, at The Barn at Warmth & Wonder. This was a random choice, booked merely as a midway meeting point with family, for some 'catch up and chill time' and did not disappoint. It is in a beautiful setting... There are plenty of games, books and DVDs for all ages, if required, to while away the time, as well as some very good info on walks in and around the surrounding area plus places to visit. A weekend really was not long enough!

We enjoyed our long weekend at Garn Barn very much. The Barn is beatiful, as is the land all around. It was the perfect place to visit with our kids, excellent toys inside and lots to play with and explore outside! We received a really warm welcome from Matt & Polly and family and will definitely return!
