Spacious and light, with spectacular views and stylish, natural furnishings, The Granary is a luxurious and welcoming 16th century 'upside down' house with glorious views, a south facing terrace and simply oozing chacter. Large grounds to explore, a large games room on site, and Offa's Dyke on your doorstep.
The Granary is one of three unique barn conversions at Dukes Farm in Herefordshire. With huge, overarching beams, under floor heating throughout, and an open-plan living space imaginatively endowed with natural textures and comfortable furnishings, the barn is lovingly restored and delightfully cosy. The ground floor bedrooms have original ancient oak studding, the space is light and homely, and the private terrace affords sensational views of the surrounding countryside. Well-equipped indulgence in the heart of tranquil scenery; what more could you want?
The farm itself covers 130 acres of land, and our stretch of the River Monnow, the Bronze Age burial chamber and other treasures are mapped for you to explore. There are lots of footpaths, characterful free-house pubs and ruins in the local area, and Herefordshire is rich in history and culture, with ancient castles and farmsteads dotted around the countryside. The dramatic Brecon Beacons stretch east into this part of the county, and across the valley and visible from your windows is the Cat’s Back, a most spectacular ridge walk. Hay-on-Wye, with its book shops, literary festival and lively shopping scene, is our local town, and it sits on the best stretch of canoeing river in Britain. Alternatively you could hire a bike, try some local cider, explore Dore Abbey, visit the Owl Centre in Kington, or take a long hike through the Black Mountains.
