White Haywood Farm Reviews

We were a party of 9 adults, 1 baby and 2 dogs and the accommodation at White Haywood Barn worked really well for us. The owners provided a cot and high chair on request. There are 5 bedrooms, 5 bathshower rooms and 4 toilets. 3 of the bedrooms are large, spacious rooms with en suites and 2 are much smaller containing single beds and with a shared toilet. The living space is brilliant with two long tables to eat at and plenty of comfy seating. What was really nice was being able to put the baby to bed and sit around together in the evenings just enjoying being together. The kitchen is really well equipped with everything we needed, loads of crockery, glasses and cutlery. They provided dishwasher tabs and washing up liquid and had left some milk in the fridge for our arrival. I arranged a food delivery for the first night which also worked so well for us. We met the housekeeper, Sheila, on our arrival and she was really friendly and helpful, making sure we settled in and I had e mail contact with the owner whilst we were there too. The hot tub got some use and it was great to have some outdoor furniture since the weather was lovely. Although we didnt use them there are a couple of pubs in the nearby villages and those we met who lived nearby were very friendly, we were invited to some local events happening whilst we were there. There are plenty of walks to do in the area so you wouldnt need to go far to find things to do, but actually just enjoying the barn itself was a pleasure. The farm is tucked away from the roads and so quiet. I would wholeheartedly recommend this place and would use it again if I return to the area.

We booked for a big birthday celebration for 20 people and we had a wonderful week! The barn is perfect to accommodate a large party for meals etc but having the farmhouse as well meant there was lots of spaces for people to use at different times. The location is wonderful with beautiful views and lots of birds for the birdwatchers in our party! Some lovely pubs nearby and close to Hay, Hereford for trips out. The farm shop is very handy too and has pretty much everything you might need. We ended up staying during one of the hottest weeks of the year and the owners were very attentive and made sure we were all OK. I would definitely stay there again!

We had a lovely stay at the barn over New Years Eve. With 8 adults, 2 toddlers, 2 babies and a dog, a venue big enough was a tall order but this certainly fit the bill. There was plenty of room for all of us plus a lovely open plan living space. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook for us all. The hot tub was an added bonus, making a nice respite after some cold winter walks. The barn is quite remote and you would need a car to get around, but if youre looking for peace and quiet, and beautiful surroundings, this is your place. If you are staying in the colder months I would recommend you stock up on logs for the log burner as this made a huge difference in the living area.

The property was fantastic and well maintained we all had a great time including our dogs, Would not recommend the farm house to anyone 6ft plus due to the lovely traditional low farm house ceilings. The house keeper was quick to support some small issues we had and thank her greatly, But Sykes I rang repeatedly on the 2nd and morning of the 3 rd aswell as emailed about key code etc to never have an answer or response! Glad the house keeper answered ! Would recommend the houses again great walks and villages

A Great Week in the Black Mountains. I spent a wonderful week at White Haywood Farmhouse from 12th19th December, and it exceeded expectations. As a solo traveller, I was initially concerned the property might feel too large, but it was perfect, cosy, characterful, and exactly what I needed for a peaceful escape. The farmhouse itself is stunning. The 16thcentury beams and original features create warmth and character, and the woodburning stove was my evening companion after long days exploring. The kitchen had everything I needed to cook my meals, which I enjoyed at the breakfast bar while gazing out at the mountain views. The farm was extremely clean and everything worked perfectly, from the heating to the WiFi. The hot tub was a real plus there's something magical about soaking under the December stars with the Black Hill silhouetted against the winter sky. Pure bliss after a day's walking. Locationwise, it's pretty good. I made day trips to both HayonWye charming bookshops, perfect for a rainy afternoon and Abergavenny fantastic market and cafes, both easily accessible. The real adventure was tackling PenyFan, it's a drive to get there but a rewarding hike. The December weather was crisp and clear, and the views were breathtaking. I found the village shop at Longtown a real boon for local snacks, and the Bull's Head in Craswall, on the same road as the Farm, has an amazing restaurant and an amazing cider called Gasping Goose. Having direct access to the Cat's Back from the back door was handy. I did a couple of walks straight from the property without needing to drive anywhere. I can definitely recommend White Haywood Farmhouse as a peaceful, characterful base to explore this stunning part of the country.

We spent a lovely week in Herefordshire, the farmhouse was beautiful, very clean and comfortable. The location was tranquil and relaxing, the views of the black mountains behind the house were stunning. Our only issues were getting hold of Sykes to obtain the key codes before we arrived. Perhaps the key codes could be emailed or texted instead?

We spent a very pleasant few days at White Haywood Farm. Glorious sunshine and an amazing location. So tranquil. Lots of al fresco dining with family and friends. Very memorable, Ill definitely be back. Bulls Head pub up the road was first rate. Excellent food. Landscape is magnificent

Was lucky enough to have stayed at White Haywood Farm earlier this Spring and couldnt resist going back for a second bite the following month. Perfectly located in an elevated position, the Black Mountains and Brecon Beacons can be accessed direct from the property for those who fancy donning walking boots and exercising limbsand a rather splendid, generous family sized hot tub awaits those who return looking for a good hot soak, whilst enjoying unfettered views looking down over the valley through which the River Monnow runs and, in my case, accompanied by a large glass of something. Accessed via a long private drive and newly renovated with all the mod cons one would expect, the provision of Wi Fi, with excellent signal, is there for those that need to remain in touch with distant offices or are working from home. Can whole heartedly recommend the property to anyone who is after some genuine P & Q.

The Barn is beautiful spacious, recently renovated to a high standard in the most beautiful landscape. We loved the walking, especially up to Hay Bluff and cycled round the Olchon Valley very few cars was great. We liked learning about English history in Hereford and also visiting Hay on Wye. The local village pub served fantastic food Bulls Head. My daughter had space to breathe. Loved the place, best Valentines Day ever
