Just 22 miles away is the Elan Valley, a chain of dams and reservoirs set against a backdrop one of the country’s most picturesque beauty spots. Built over 100 years ago, it still supplies clean water to Birmingham.
Penshenkin Barn is just 8 miles from the popular town of Kington, which has a great mixture of cafés, restaurants and local shops for guests to enjoy. There is also a golf course which is one of the highest in England and Wales, with views over the Brecon Beacons. In nearby Presteigne, The Judge’s Lodging Museum provides an interesting day out where guests can take a tour. After a busy day exploring all that this area has to offer, there is space to sit and enjoy the views either from the private hot tub or from the garden seating.

I would thoroughly recommend a stay here. The views are stunning, the wildlife incredible and the hot tub just what was required with nightly shooting stars. Everything was thought of including the downstairs facilities for our disabled family member. Having Aggy from AB Massage come to the property one day was perfect for a day of pampering.In the local area I would recommend a trip to the National Show caves, Gigrin Farm & hiring a boat to explore the canal from Beacon Boats.
