Guests that stayed at this property said

Reviewers consistently mention the immaculate condition of the property, highlighting its cleanliness and well-maintained bathrooms. The property's tidiness contributes significantly to the guests' positive experiences.

The barn's location is frequently described as beautiful and peaceful, with stunning views and good access to local attractions. However, some guests noted the narrow surrounding roads and difficulty with phone reception.

Guests find the barn conversion comfortable, with special mentions of the cosy living space, comfortable beds, and the property being great for dogs. The comfort provided is a recurring theme in the reviews.

The property is well-equipped and guests are generally satisfied with the facilities. However, there are comments about the very hot water temperature and slow internet, which suggest room for improvement in these areas.

The owners' thoughtfulness is evident through the welcome gifts and the accommodating nature mentioned in several reviews. While these gestures are greatly appreciated, it is noted that such gifts are a kind bonus and not a guaranteed amenity.

About this property

Clyro 5.2 miles. Settled on a farm amidst the quaint countryside in Rhosgoch near Clyro, Powys is this charming barn conversion of Goblaen Barn. A delightful base for a family of four's rural getaway, Goblaen Barn not only enjoys easy access to a range of picturesque towns and villages nearby, but is within reach of the Brecon Beacons National Park! Upon arrival, you'll be delighted to uncover ample off-road parking, making unloading your belongings and getting settled in a breeze. Make your way up the steps and into the welcoming abode's open-plan living space, where a stunning, floor-to-ceiling window showcases those exceptional views of the rolling hills and floods the space with natural light.

  • Ian

    Dog friendly with a range of local walks and very accessible to Hay on Wye, Brecon and Hereford.

  • Francesca

    It was warm and cosy and clean and tidy. The only thing to comment on was that we arrived in the dark and missed the turning. After the second day we managed not to miss the turning. The neighbours were friendly and gave us good directions but felt embarassed about disturbing them. I think in Summer it would not be a problem.

    So peaceful. Accommodation was lovely and clean with a lush view across the countryside from the balcony. I would thoroughly recommend anybody who wants a quiet weekend in the country to book Goblaen Barn. We made use of the log burner although the barn is lovely and warm. Lovely friendly dog who welcomes you
