White Haywood Farmhouse Reviews

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!

Lovely stay would definitely recommend great stay for family's who wants a peaceful holiday.

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.

Absolutely incredible place, we loved every second. Hot tub amazing and the landscape breathtaking. So comfortable and a must for anyone visiting this area. Places to visit the Bulls Head at Craswall, the Bridge inn at michaelsbridge and Symonds Yat.....we also did canoeing In the River wye with Hereford Canoes. White Heywood Farm gave us the perfect family break and our dogs loved it too..... Incredible 10 out of 10

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?

The farm is a unique combination of quirky oldworld charm and modern comfort, stunning views, excellent comfort. It is newlyrenovated, and we loved the location in the Black Mountains, from where we climbed the Cats Back, explored the bookshops of HayonWye. I thoroughly recommend it and give it 55

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
