Warmth and Wonder

Tranquility, beauty and simplicity combine, in a sumptuous barn overlooking the Black Mountains.

Warmth and Wonder is an aptly-named holiday haven, in the form of an irresistibly cosy, family-run self-catering barn nestled within 48 acres of Herefordshire hillside and woodland.  

Set on the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park and overlooking the Black Mountains, your peaceful location just couldn't be more perfect for exploring this uniquely scenic, wildlife-steeped part of the world. Meanwhile, the barn itself is fabulously equipped with everything you need to relax and recharge in glorious comfort.

Ideal for couples or small families, Warmth and Wonder sleeps up to five people. Gather together in the welcoming open-plan lounge area, complete with squishy sofas and a woodburning stove.  There's a selection of DVDs for you to enjoy, or simply surround yourselves with good conversation.

Later on, whip up a country-style feast in the well-equipped kitchen, to enjoy inside at the dining table or outside at the picnic bench, with the soothing sights and sounds of nature all around.  On sunny days, you can take a post-meal woodland ramble and dip your toes in the babbling streams...what a way to cool down!

When it's time to turn in, simply choose your favourite sleeping spot. The main bedroom features authentic beams and exposed stone, and is equipped with a luxury superking bed and a single day bed, both dressed in snuggly wool-filled duvets.  

The sleeping platform is accessed via ladder stairs, and features a canvas door that's ideal for stargazing! Here you'll find a cosy superking bed that can also be made into a twin if needed.

Stay delightfully put if you like, surrounded by wondrous woodland and friendly wildlife that includes the resident chickens, sheep and the occasional squirrel or badger.  

You'll find friendly owners Matt and Polly are on hand throughout your stay to answer any questions, or share their knowledge of the local area (you can also order delicacies including home-made bread, breakfast hampers and organic veg boxes, if you're in the mood for a culinary treat!)  

If you prefer getting out and exploring, the 48 acres of surrounding hillside and woodland are a great place to begin - and you'll find a lovely selection of local pubs and a well-stocked shop within strolling distance.

As you might imagine, picturesque walks are aplenty, including the famed Offa's Dyke path close by. On-site wildlife walks are also available, if you enjoy getting up close and personal with nature.

And of course, sunset watching and stargazing around an outside fire take on new levels of jaw-dropping awe, once they've been experienced against the ever-changing backdrop of the Black Mountains, and the clear, unpolluted dark night sky overhead.

With so much friendliness, picturesque comfort and natural luxury on offer here, Warmth and Wonder is likely to hold a special place in your hearts for some time to come.
