Gather your favourite people and escape to this welcoming countryside retreat, ideal for families and groups of friends looking to reconnect and unwind in the heart of the Wye Valley. With miles of scenic walks straight from the doorstep - including access to the stunning 136-mile Wye Valley Walk - and just 6 miles from the literary town of Hay-on-Wye, this is a place where memories are made.

Whether you're planning a family reunion, a group getaway, or a relaxed celebration, this converted barn offers the perfect base. The spacious lounge/diner, full of rustic charm with exposed beams and traditional stonework, is made for spending time together - think lazy breakfasts, board games by the fire, and big dinners at the farmhouse-style table. The views towards the Black Mountains aren’t bad either!

The modern kitchen is fully equipped for group catering, with an electric oven, microwave, dishwasher, fridge, freezer and washer/dryer. With five bedrooms - two doubles and three twins - each with their own en-suite shower room, there’s plenty of space for everyone to spread out and enjoy their own privacy. One of the double bedrooms is conveniently located on the ground floor with step-free access and its own en-suite, ideal for multi-generational stays.

Outside, there’s a large BBQ area and picnic area with glorious countryside views, and a safe, grassy play area for children to run wild. There’s even room for your four-legged friend - one well-behaved dog is welcome to join the fun.

Hay-on-Wye, just 6 miles away, is bursting with charm and character. Famous for its world-renowned literary festival, it’s also home to cosy cafés, independent bookshops, a cinema, and a lively arts scene. You’ll also find plenty of nearby pubs and eateries in Glasbury and Llyswen (both 2 miles), or take a day trip to Brecon (11 miles) for more local culture and countryside.

If you're travelling as a larger group, this property can be booked with the adjoining barn conversion to sleep up to 16 guests, with an interconnecting door that keeps things flexible.

The photos of this house do not fully prepare you for just how spacious it is. The main purpose of our trip was to have a family get-together. Not only was there ample parking space for eight cars there was enough seating in the living room for 16 people to eat and talk whilst the huge dining table held a buffet lunch with plenty of plates and cutlRead moreery. Sadly the weather was awful and we only got one glimpse of the lovely view of the Brecon Beacons. Would love to visit again with time to explore. Hide

The cottage is well equipped and very clean. The garden is ideal for small children and the space inside works well for either a large family or multiple generations. We found it difficult to find suitable places to eat for children 12 and there wasnt much to do for young families in the area.

Walnut Tree Barn is very spacious and very well equipped. We found it to be comfortable. Nice bedrooms, three out of the five have great views. The location is ideal for many spots in the Brecon Beacons. Good parking and lovely owners.
