High View Barn

The space was perfect for myself and the dog, all open plan with the choice of an open or closed off bedroom. The kitchen was particularly brilliant, it had everything I needed to make Christmas dinner and the washing machine saved a lot of time! The outside was very well kept and Percy (dog) was able to free roam as he pleased. The underfloor heating provided a nice level of comfort on the colder days. The barn is away from main roads etc and you truly feel like you’re in own little world. I saw just two people walking along the trails while I was there.

The heating was a bit hit and miss, when I first arrived it was roasting and I struggled to turn it down/off, needed to do both thermostats. On the last day there didn’t seem to be any heat coming through at all. The bathroom is quite small but nothing can be done about that. I would say the only thing I really missed was a full length mirror, I could only see from my chest up in the bathroom mirror.

I like being completely isolated from the outside world, but still having the opportunity to enjoy all the amenities.

Mooi ruimte barn met geweldig uitzicht zeer rustig gelegen. Het bed ligt lekker, de keuken is goed uitgerust.

De verwarming stond op 26 graden, wel erg warm!

Absolute stunning property, we had such a wonderful stay here, I was sad to leave, the views are amazing, walks straight from the door, the barn has everything you need, comfortable bed, lovely fireplace, good kitchen, great shower. Love the open plan layout, although I personally wouldn't want to stay here with children for that reason & there are no curtains, but you can pull the wooden shutters around the bed downstairs if you wished, staying in October I woke around 7am, we left the shutters open. The location is very private & quiet (although if the house up the track had been occupied, as I know that gets rented out too, that could have made things feel slightly different as it's only a stones throw away, but it was empty whilst we were there). We didn't see or speak to the host once there, but there was no need as we had received all the necessary info ahead of our stay & there is a book inside telling you what to do when you leave the property. The cleaner was arriving just as we were leaving on the day we departed. The garden isn't secure, which was fine for my dog, but might not be suitable for others, there must have been some stray sheep or deer in the garden at some point, as they had left droppings, we saw some deer in a nearby field.

We came in our Discovery, but my husbands M4 wouldn't have made it up the track, so not a negative but just a warning that a 4X4 is more suitable. It was ok for us staying in October but I'd imagine in the summer months, longer days, I would have been woken at the crack of dawn by my dog, as there are no curtains. Going to the toilet in the night, I did often wonder of anyone could see me, but it is a very secluded location. (apart from the main house, just up the track)

Location of property very good,amazing views.I would highly recommend this place

Clean and comfortable accommodation with views over the Wye valley from the garden and through the floor to ceiling doors, which are beautiful. We were surrounded by wildlife, including a short visit from a few Fallow deer. We went on a few walks from High view barn to the river and Monmouth. It's also only a 25 minute drive to Symonds Yat.

Nothing not to like

Stunningly beautiful location, amazing accommodation. High on a wooded valley side with excellent views. Very quiet and private. Modern accommodation in a converted barn.

Property about 3/4 mile up a single track road, last few hundred yards a cart track. It is not suitable for a low slung vehicle like a sports car, but ok for a family saloon type.
