Arrived to a wonderful sunset front and centre of our views. Cosy with the fire on, everything necessary was in the kitchen. Wonderful woodland walks in ancient hollow ways.

Property was not very accessible, especially for older people. The place could have been a bit more cleaner, found quite a bit of dust. Beautiful views, the beds were comfy. Thank you for leaving us some delicious honey.

We are very glad that you enjoyed the honey and views and found the beds comfy. The property is accessed along a public footpath and there are 9 steps down to the barn which is all on one level. We have tried to describe this accurately on our listing. Cleaning is something that we pride ourselves on. We will ensure that we address the issue of dust in the future.

Cathy, the host of Top Barn, was great and her communications throughout were excellent. The property was clean and in a wonderful location with the most fabulous views from the garden. The sweet footpath from where our car was parked wasn’t as far as we thought, although downhill which was fine for us. The Welsh cakes and lovely local honey were very much appreciated, as well as the varieties of tea and coffee. Thank you so much, we had a lovely stay.

This barn was in a superb location, worth the drive up the narrow road for the views. Cosy cottage, so quiet, with birds, sheep, and rabbits near by. Equipped with all we needed for a few days away. Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful cosy cottage with amazing views.

Really enjoyed our Easter weekend stay at Top barn, Cathy was a great host and was always on hand if we needed anything, including directions for the lovely walks in the area. We were so lucky with the great weather which made our views from the cottage even more amazing. Would highly recommend Top barn for a relaxing get away.

Stunning location

We had a wonderful five nights in top barn! The views are incredible the barn is small but cosy. Cathy was great stayed in touch, and we loved the local gifts left as well. We visited lots of castles, explored the beautiful Wye Valley and walked some of Offa's way too. Highly recommend.

great place!

Beautful grounds and views. Not a fan of driving to the place, but I am not use to the roads in Wales. For Wales roads they are fine. Super quiet area with views for miles and sheep to talk to next door.

Wonderful Barn, great location & amazing views

A wonderful location for a last minute short break. The Barn was exactly what we needed and as described. We could happily sit and look at the Views and sunset from the garden / patio, whilst relaxing. Walking possible direct from the Barn and easy access to loads of places to visit across the Wye Valley and Forest of Dean. Great communication from host. We highly recommend & I am sure we will rebook. Thank you.
