Pamper yourselves with a truly special stay at this sumptuous barn near St Weonards in Herefordshire. Ideally placed for exploring Monmouthshire too, the exquisite, four-bedroom retreat sleeps eight guests, making it ideal for a large family or couples. Set beside a lake, in picturesque grounds on a farm, the luxurious holiday home is in a perfect position for getting out and out in the Wye Valley and Bannau Brycheiniog, also known as the Brecon Beacons.

Climb the steps up to the porch, where you can leave your walking boots, then enter via the hall and the spectacular, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. This incredible space pulls the magical, waterside views into the barn, allowing you to feel right at the heart of your surroundings. Find a film on the Smart TV or simply open a bottle of wine to enjoy as you chat with the glass doors open. Take turns preparing hearty feasts in the stylish, high-specification kitchen area then perch up at the breakfast bar or gather around the table to enjoy them. Also at ground-floor level are a WC and two of your gorgeous bedrooms. These are both king-size with TVs and en-suite shower rooms. One of these rooms has zip-and-link beds that can also be made up as a twin by prior arrangement. Upstairs, there are two more king-size with TVs. One of these has an en-suite bathroom, while the other has an en-suite shower room and beds that can also become singles. Unwind out on the terrace on sunny days. Gaze down to the lake, cook on the BBQ or stroll around the farm with your friends or family members.
