The house is great! We had wonderfull holidays there and enjoyed the hills, the Chirk Castle, the nature, the sheeps, Ted - the farmers dog, the Restaurant The Hand and the fantastic apartment. The bedrooms are lovingly decorated, the living room is very cosy furnished and there is enough place for 6 people. The kitchen is fine and has a dishwasherRead more and a washing machine combiend with a drier. I loved it very much to sit on the terrace and have a view to the hills and the sheeps.

Berwyn Barns are set in a stunningly beautiful and remote landscape with beautiful walks and suitably challenging mountain bike rides straight from the property, along with very nice showers and relaxing hot tubs to return to for a soak and to take in the beautiful views. The barns themselves (Ive stayed in both) have been beautifully and sensitiveRead morely renovated, retaining much of the original character stonework & beams. They are very comfortably furnished and well equipped and lovely and warm, which will be especially appreciated when the weather turns wet and cold - though we actually had periods of sunshine every day for our weeks stay over Easter! The owners, who live opposite on the working farm, are very friendly and helpful and willing to stop and chat (you get a glimpse into the challenging work of hill farming + my grandchildren loved the animals around the farm) If youre drawn to a holiday away from it all you will love a stay at Berwyn Barns - we certainly did!

This is a lovely roomy and comfortable property. The location is great for scenery and is really peaceful.

Altogether a fantastic experience, with plenty of places and attractions to visit with children. Hide
