Hay View Lodges - Barn End

Great for a short stay

Pros: The property was v quiet, comfortable with lovely views across the countryside. The hosts were helpful with promptly resolving a couple of issues.

Cons: As others mentioned the tv was quite small, really too small for the room and difficult to see from the sofa.

Fabulous views and so quiet.

Pros: Was upgraded free of charge to the Red Kite Lodge on the same property. It was fabulous, 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom, large lounge/dining room/kitchen. Well appointed and nice and warm. Best thing was the fabulous views from the deck over the brecons.

A gem of a pit stop for anyone hiking the Offa’s Dyke Trail

Pros: Excellently stocked for anyone hiking. I arrived completely soaked after a day in the rain on the Offa’s Dyke Trail. Thanks to the washer, heaters, heating rack etc all my gear was thankfully in dry shape again by the morning, all the while I had an excellent night’s sleep. The view is to die for, and the hosts super kind and accommodating

An idyllic, tranquil retreat, full of charm and character, in glorious countryside.

Pros: This place is a gem. Set in beautiful countryside with amazing views, the only sounds are the gentle clucking of chickens and the odd baa from resident sheep. Rustic, full of charm and character, well-appointed and generally lovely. The hosts are great too - unobtrusive but on hand if needed - and very friendly.

Cons: Being very remote, tv signals etc are a bit iffy. Not that it bothered us in the least.

Beautiful little place, surrounded by breathtaking views

Pros: Beautiful Views, Very Quiet on a working farm. Comfortable sofa to relax on after work and comfortable beds. Rustic looking barn very quirky. Good quality internet.

Cons: TV could have been bigger, difficult to see it across the room from the sofa.

Heaven on earth

Pros: The peace and quiet, the accommodation was tranquil, we loved it there.

Cons: The little step up to the bathroom caught me out a couple of times

Pros: The Lodge was close to Hay-on-Wye, it was in a beautiful location. The host was very friendly and helpful. The facilities were thoughtful parking was right outside the Lodge. The accommodation was super clean and comfortable. The accommodation was quirky which we loved and so pretty. It was a secluded quiet spot but close enough to the hosts main house to feel safe and secure. There were farm animals around and chickens to see. You could buy fresh farm eggs. The cooking facilities were excellent and there was a washing machine.

Lovely stay !

Pros: The owners were very friendly and welcoming giving my mum a bottle of prosecco for her birthday which I thought was a lovely gesture! We only stayed 1 night which was great to have that option as a lot of accommodation has a minimum 2 night stay which isn,t always needed! Everything we needed was available and we had a lovely cosy night , the beds were comfy and we slept well!

Lovely, quaint space. Very comfortable, perfect for our stay.

Pros: Very comfortable. Exceptional beds. Beautiful views. Fantastic facilities.

Cons: Very basic television. Bring a laptop or tablet if you're planning on watching TV.

If you like character, this has it in spades.

Pros: A lovely characterful property with a great layout. The fish decor and corrugated walls won't suit all, but we were very comfortable. Hay is about 10nminutes drive away. Be aware that the satnav takes you to a house down the road towards Hay, so head past that and turn right down the gated road with other cottages listed.
