3 Bedroom Barn - sleeps 8 (Hot Tub)
Abernant Barn has been beautifully renovated from a 100 year old stable block into a luxurious holiday home / cottage in the heart of Wales. Wonderfully secluded and set in 8 acres of private pasture, bordered by the River Irfon on one side and the Nant Cerdin on the other. The property includes fishing rights on the banks of the Irfon which runs only metres from the property. The accommodation includes underfloor heating throughout and large lounge with a wood burning stove for those cosy evenings. Outside an under cover decked area with sunken hot tub provides space to relax and BBQ whatever the weather. The village of Llanwrtyd Wells, the smallest town in Britain is only a 10 minute walk away and is well served by three pubs and a local store/garage. The local railway station is a 5 minute walk from the barn where a regular service on the heart of wales line will take you towards Builth Wells or Llandovery.

Beautiful location for a weekend away
Just got back from a lovely weekend at the property. The location is fantastic with beautiful scenery and a river adjacent to the property which was great for swimming. Loved the use of the hot tub, campfire area and the kitchen was well equipped. Overall we felt the barn could have been cleaner with some stains on the sofas, quite a bit of dog hair on the rug and just generally in need a bit of a clean and a lick of paint. BBQ was a bit unstable which could be dangerous with little ones around and mirroring previous reviews the option of a fire guard would have been handy. These were however minor problems and our experience was mainly positive and we would return. Communication with the owner was very good.

A very beautiful location, with plenty of space.
The house and land were spacious and beautiful. Plenty of useful items including dishwasher tablets, toilet rolls etc. Instructions to get there were spot on. The whole kitchen was very well equipped.
As a family we agreed there could be more improvements. The shower is very small, no locks on the upstairs bedroom doors, some equipment broke when we went to use it and some mattresses were stained. There's very little space to put toiletries in bathroom and no hanging space in the bunk bed bedroom- again, nowhere to put a drink or tissues etc. If taking very young children, be aware, the floor is stone!
The reason we booked this property was because of the hot tub. However, the day after we arrived we went to use it and the chlorine level was very high. We couldn't use it until mid afternoon on our last day. However, when we contacted the owners, they suggested things to try and responded very promptly. We wanted a quiet and relaxing holiday and that's what we got.

Absolutely perfect family Christmas!
Beautiful location for a memorable family Christmas! Loved the space and the special features, real Christmas tree, log burning stove and sheltered hot tub made for a fantastic few days. Hosts were helpful and responded quickly to our queries. The dog had freedom and space to roam and we even managed a little fire at the fire pit between rain showers. Beds were comfortable and cooking Christmas dinner wasn’t too bad at all despite being in a strange kitchen. Overall we had the best time and will return. My children never wanted to go home!

Very tranquil and relaxing
Lovely accommodation in peaceful and beautiful setting. Excellent facilities in general.
Lack of any wood for log burner was very disappointing as underfloor heating offered little comfort. So recommend taking your own wood if you book this in colder weather x

Almost there!
We had a great stay at the property celebrating a birthday. The location was perfect as it was very secluded and quiet. Unfortunately, the shower didn’t work whatsoever and so had to use the bath which was pretty inconvenient; it would have been worse if we were staying for longer than two nights. Overall, it was a great stay and I would definitely go back providing the shower was fixed. Thank you!

Peaceful location, property needs some attention.
The location is quiet and picturesque. The overall layout and design of the property is good. There were however a number of small points which detracted from the positive points;
1. The log burner chimney does not comply with building regulations: it is within 2.3 m of a Velux window but does not extend 1 m above the top of the opening, as required by Document J. Consequently, smoke was blown into the children's bedroom.
2. Ripped bin bag containing old bits of roofing chrysotile asbestos present adjacent wood store and accessible by children.
3. Bedroom doors had no door handles or locks.
4. Property described as child friendly but no fireguard for log burner or stair gates to stop toddler climbing the stairs every three minutes or falling down them from the landing.
5. No way to dry clothes: without lighting log burner. The absence of a tumble dryer and the presence of underfloor heating (ground source heat pump, which was very cool) meant we had no way to effectively dry wet clothes.
6. All knives in kitchen were blunt. No bread knife.
7. Chest of drawers in children's room repaired with incorrect length screws leaving razor sharp point inside drawer.
8. Not enough storage in bedrooms for one week stay.
Aside from these points, which are remedied quickly (apart from the chimney), the venue is quite spacious and pleasant.

Brilliant place 10/10
Our stay was brilliant! The scenery and location of the barn was beautiful, very quiet and peaceful and the local village is only a short walk away. The barn conversion is very open and has plenty of room, the living room is very homely and cosy. We also made good use of the hot tub despite the rain! We were provided with all essentials and had everything we needed for the week.
Bernard was also very quick to respond to any questions and was very helpful.
We saw others mentioning that it was difficult to find but when we had used the app we were able to find the location relatively easily.
We will definitely be coming back soon!
100% recommend

Excellent family new year
We stayed with family friends so there were four adults, two girls aged 8 and two boys aged 10. There was plenty of room for all of us in the house and the children loved the outdoor space. Top activities were fishing (didn't catch anything though!), building fires and petting the horses in the next field. The hot tub was a big hit for the adults. The converted barn is in a great location, secluded but only 10 minute walk to the town centre. Communication with Bernie, the owner, was great - very quick to answer any questions we had. Would thoroughly recommend Abernant Barn to anyone wanting to get away with friends or family for a very relaxing break.

If you are looking for a break from the hustle and bustle of every day life this is just perfect! The log burner and hot tub are great for relaxing after countrywide walks with the dogs. From booking, everything was so straight forward. I would highly recommend!
