Escape to Outshot Barn for a true country getaway on a working farm near Hay-on-Wye. Immersed in rural tranquillity you can make the most of the great outdoors, heading out for walks and bike rides straight from your front door. Summer days are spent splashing in the swimming pool (open Easter-October half term, weather dependant) and cooking on the barbecue, while on cooler evenings you can curl up in front of the woodburner. Ideal for small families, the children will adore meeting the farm animals, while it also makes a romantic retreat for couples who want to get away from it all. Hay-on-Wye, famous for the Hay Festival and its envious collection of bookshops, is nearby and you are surrounded by the delights of Herefordshire and the Welsh Borders.

Lovely escape

We had a lovely stay, even though the weather was awful.

The owners were very nice and welcoming and very helpful.

We have stayed in many dog friendly places, which aren’t always as dog friendly as advertised. This was a truly dog friendly experience. The accommodation is cosy, comfortable and well equipped. In true British summertime fashion we experienced the fabulous pool one day and a log fire the next! The hosts were very friendly and we loved the visits from their dogs. Would recommend the Pandi Inn for drinks and dinner, we had a great holiday.



Serene, picturesque and chic

Outshot Barn is tasteful, spacious accommodation in a beautiful and quiet area. It is very relaxing to watch the unobtrusive farm life going on. Sally, the owner made us feel welcome and invited us to come along to meet the horses if we wanted to. You can walk or go for a run in the quiet lanes - only occasionally meeting friendly people.

Inside the barn, the open-plan kitchen and lounge area is very comfortable - a huge stack door is great to open on a nice day and when it gets chilly, it still offers a view of the beautiful surroundings. The kitchen is well-equipped and tastefully decorated.

The rooms are quite spacious and the fact that both rooms have en-suite bathrooms is very convenient. The pool was amazing and at 28 degrees, comfortable to use even on cooler days.

Sally was really helpful with advice and suggestions about routes and activities in the area. Her warmth and kindness complemented the really serene atmosphere on the farm.



A relaxing stay

We had a lovely stay at Outshot Barn. A beautifully furnished and equipped barn set in a peaceful location. Hosts Sally and Ed and family were very friendly and helpful and on hand if we had any queries. We really enjoyed meeting the horses and pigs and seeing the chickens and turkeys. Buster the dog was a firm favourite by the end of our stay! Nice to be able to have a dip in the pool on the warm days.
Lovely meal at the local Pandy Inn and a short drive away the local store and Hay-on-Wye. Plenty of local shops and selection of nice pubs and restaurants.



Lovely place to stay

We had a lovely time, staying at Outshot Barn. Making sure we had enough towels to making the second room, a king bed too, it was an excellent base for visiting Hay-on-Wye and if you’re in the mood, for a Sunday Roast, the Pandy Inn just down the road is fantastic. The swimming pool is a touch cold which is to be expected but soon warms up once you’re in.



Heaven on earth

We stayed at Outshot barn for a long weekend with two small children. We craved an escape from the city and a trip to the countryside, and we couldn't have been more thrilled to have discovered Outshot barn. It's incredibly comfortable and extremely well decorated and kitted out. It's located close enough to Hay-on-Wye and the Black Mountains for adventures, but is tucked away in its own quiet valley with an amazing outlook and a soundtrack of only birdsong and bleating sheep. The hosts are incredibly helpful and friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure our animal-mad children (and us) had the most amazing time, including visits to the pigs and piglets. I wish we were still there.



Fantastic!

We have just come back from a wonderful 3 days away at Outshot Barn and from the minute we arrived we knew we would be looking to rebook. The accommodation is gorgeous and comfortable, the rustic decor is fabulous and Sally and Ed are great hosts! The kids loved going out to feed the farm animals with Ed and were rewarded with fresh free range eggs which were amazing. The weather wasn’t great but it didn’t stop us from using the pool and welcoming the much needed downtime. I enjoyed looking at the views and listening to the rain next to the wood burning stove with my book and we were lucky enough to have a clear night to see a sky full of stars one night without the light pollution of the cities. The facilities were great and we largely self-catered with cosy nights in but we used the barn as a base for exploring the Brecon Beacons, the Forest of Dean and Hereford. We can’t wait to rebook to go back next year and explore more!
