Warmth and Wonder

What a magical place! We really were whisked away from our stressful city life to a rural dream. From the minute you arrive, it feels so special, beautifully built and decorated with every sensitivity for privacy and relaxation. A place that time forgot which transports you to a simpler world. We found ourselves reading out loud in front of the fire, devices long forgotten. The children took themselves off for their own adventures while we napped. Cups of tea, cake, marshmallows and warm baths followed jaunty walks, exciting adventures and wild swimming. The views, sights and sounds and simplicity of...

A perfect place to unwind; hidden in the countryside surrounded by birds, trees, fields and flowers. A real rest for the soul! The barn has everything one needs and the spring water is delicious! The wood burning stove is also a delight and works really well.

Our second stay at Warmth and Wonder and just as brilliant as the first. Matt made the barn cosy for our arrival late at night with two sleepy children and we woke up to the perfect peace that surrounds this beautiful place. The children played for hours outside on their hammock swing, we trekked up mountains and we visited many castles. Fish and chips in Ewyas Harold, a game of skittles in the local pub and dinner one night in Abergavenny made this such a happy holiday. The barn is equipped with everything you need, it’s spotlessly clean and well...

Set in a beautiful rural landscape a million miles away from the stress and strain of most people’s lives is a barn with a huge log burner and everything needed for a cozy break. There’s plenty of space and it’s very comfortable. We were prepared to get wet and muddy knowing we’d end up back at Garn Farm at the end of the day. There are still pubs here, most serving good food and the walks can be simple or challenging. Great afternoon playing some of the many games provided and the kitchen area is a great space to prepare...

Wonderful location, beautiful views, peaceful and quiet. Comfortable rustic barn in great setting, appreciated the wood-burning stove in the evenings with plentiful supply of logs. Good pubs in the area for food, fantastic walking country.

A tucked away gem, offering adventure or solitude. We had a lovely stay in this gorgeous barn, the children enjoyed exploring the land and we enjoyed the breathtaking views. The barn is well equipped and well thought out and Matt and Polly have left thoughtful touches, like games for the children, comprehensive amount of dvds and an emergency larder for the guests. We’ll be back!

We spent a wonderful week at Warmth and Wonder. The barn itself is cosy, well-equipped and furnished in a lovely rustic style, in keeping with its natural surroundings. It is situated in glorious countryside, reached by meandering lanes, with magnificent views from the balcony terrace where you can enjoy stunning sunsets or a morning coffee. The hosts, Polly and Matt, have also included some great ideas in the visitor's information book for places to visit, eat and gorgeous walks to do. There is also a thoughtfully curated shelf of books with links to these fascinating borderlands. As well as being...

We had a wonderful five day trip to the Barn this February half term. It is such a beautiful building and well kept, with everything you need for a happy stay. The children (5 and 3) were delighted with all the toys and games and we had warm evenings in by the fire after wet and muddy days out and about. Our hosts were very helpful when needed but we also felt we had the privacy to really relax. It’s incredibly quiet at the Barn, and such a peaceful place to relax and unwind. Highly recommend.

We love coming to The Barn! We love the big skies, warm brews, and deep sleeps. We have been coming to give our souls a rest for about 8 or so years and it always gives us what we need.

Gorgeous accommodation and beautiful setting. Had everything we needed to help us relax and unwind. The perfect get away from it all spot.

Our second visit to W&W, and it was just as magical as our first! We can't wait to return - everything about the farm, the barn, and the surrounds is truly perfect.

What a stunning place to stay! Tucked away in the beautiful quiet countryside with amazing views across to the black mountains. We had a lovely stay in the Barn, spacious and well equipped, comfy bed, great amenities and a gorgeous log fire for the few chilly July evenings we had! Most welcome after some long walks and a visit to the local pub. We enjoyed a great afternoon canoeing from Glasbury to Hay followed by a look around the shops . We will definitely be back, again, thanks Matt and Polly for a wonderful stay.
