Information about the host

Penylan Barn is a recently converted barn just 3 miles from Hay-on-Wye. The extensive south facing windows and skylights fill the interior with natural light and afford incredible views over the surrounding countryside. The comfortable double room has it own en suite bathroom with bath and shower. Please see our photo gallery for more details.

We moved to the area from London ten years ago and love it here. We are both passionate about art, design and the environment - this is reflected in the design, layout and workings of the barn. I work in renewable energy and Flo is a garden designer.

The surrounding countryside is some of the most stunning in the UK. We are close to The Black Mountains, Brecon Beacons, Offa's Dyke and Herefordshire, where there is incredible walking, biking and horse riding. Hay - "the Town of Books" - is a unique town, with many wonderful independent shops and spirits! Hay hosts a number of events throughout the year, including the world famous Hay Festival. We are 5 mins drive from Hay or an easy one hour walk on public footpaths. There are lots of good pubs and restaurants in the area which we are happy to recommend to guests.

10 Delightful hosts, wonderful place

10 Jun, 2019

Reviewed by Janet

Pros: Flo and James were wonderful hosts, very welcoming and comfortable to be with and we had lovely chats with them over breakfast. The room was lovely, beautifully decorated, spacious and very comfortable with a huge bathroom with bath and shower. The breakfast was lovely, full English with cereal if you wanted as well. The views from the breakfast room over the countryside were amazing and the property was very close to Hay on Wye so easy to get to restaurants and shops. We had a wonderful meal at Tomatitos the first night which they recommended. The second night we tried the Blue Boar pub and this was tasty too. A lovely visit and we’d totally recommend this as a place to stay.

Cons: A little more soap would be good. One wee piece was barely enough for 2 of us for 2 days.
