One-Off Feature

Spacious and stylish, with spectacular uninterrupted views towards the Black Hill, Swallow Barn is a luxurious and welcoming space from which to explore beautiful Herefordshire at its rural, rugged and unspoilt best.

General Info

Swallow Barn is one of three unique barn conversions at Dukes Farm in Herefordshire. With vaulted ceilings, under floor heating throughout, and open-plan living spaces bathed in south-facing light, the barn is wonderfully capacious and delightfully cosy all at once. The large wood stove will keep you warm when you’re curled up in front of the enormous 42 inch screen TV, the king size beds ensure a restorative night’s sleep, the private terrace and water garden catch the sun and lead out to the gardens and fields, and the views of the countryside never fail to take your breath away. Well-equipped indulgence in the heart of tranquil scenery; what more could you want?

The Area Surrounding The Property / Accommodation

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.
