what a time we had at this property, the cinema room was a blessing for the chill out evenings and hot tub was cleaned on a daily basis which was nice.
The games room was a nice idea with everything under one roof that why we chose this property which was over 3 hour drive but totally worth it.
We all would happily return again

We have come for our second visit in Sept 2024 after experiencing the comforts of Penblaith Barn two years previous.
The quality of the facilities is amazing. All bedrooms are kitted out very comfortably. The dining area, kitchen and bar lack for nothing.
Since our last visit the cinema room has been added. What a fantastic enhancement.
The owners could not be more welcoming or helpful.

It is a tremendous venue for a group holiday with Monmouth only 10 min drive and we would recommend a walk to the Royal Arms for an evening meal or just a pint.



Sarah replied 15 days ago
"Tremendous venue" - great to hear! We are very lucky with the location, with a beautiful town nearby and a traditional pub that serves delicious food within walking distance (via countryside footpaths!). Thank you. All the best.

We get together each year - a group of 15 retirees - and we always have a good time. However, our stay at Penblaith Barn was exceptional - I was very popular for finding such a wonderful place to stay! Every aspect of the accommodation was of high quality and every need has been thought of. Everyone had a beautiful bedroom with an ensuite and comfy beds. The downstairs bedroom was perfect for someone with mobility issues.
The hall way with its grand staircase provides the first wow factor - only to be surpassed by the cinema room where we spent a brilliant evening watching a film, chosen from a vast choice provided by the Sky, Netflix and other channel options. Don't forget the popcorn!
Another evening the chaps cooked on the massive gas BBQ and the wood burning pizza oven, while the ladies luxuriated in the large hot tub. One of the group had a birthday, so we celebrated with cocktails in the bar area - a great way to start each evening, we discovered. The kitchen and dining areas were so well equipped and perfect for social occasions. Deliveries from Tesco and COOK (Monmouth) provided all the shopping needs.
On the final evening we had a catered meal, provided by Jan and Linda from Cakes and Catering, who know Penblaith very well.. It was a wonderful celebration to end a week which provided lifelong memories.
The views from the property are stunning - so peaceful as we sat on the large patio or enjoyed something sparkly in the hot tub. This is by far the best accommodation and setting we have stayed in. Our host Sarah went above and beyond and nothing was too much trouble. We all agreed that we'd love to return.

We stayed at Penblaith Barn 11 years ago for my husband's 60th birthday and loved it so much we wanted to spend my 70th and my sister's 60th birthdays there, with our families.
It was amazing then, but even more amazing this time round, with the addition of the cinema room and the bar.
The whole weekend was fantastic, with everything we could possibly want or need, everyone enjoyed the hot tub, the games room and the cinema room.
All the bedrooms were immaculate, all with ensuite bathrooms and towels provided (we brought our own, but only needed them for the hot tub).
We made full use of the BBQ and pizza oven.
All in all it was an amazing weekend and we would definitely recommend it and will look forward to staying again.



Sarah replied 43 days ago
It was fantastic to welcome you back after 11 years and I am thrilled you thought the property was "even more amazing this time around". Glad you enjoyed all the facilities and had a memorable birthday celebration. Thank you. Best Wishes.

From 11 months old to 94 years old we all enjoyed our stay. The standard of housekeeping was excellent and we arrived to find the Barn spotlessly clean. We were also impressed that the hot tub was cleaned between each visit.
The views were lovely and we would definitely recommend a stay here.

We had an amazing 3 nights at Penblaith Barn, with 5 families catching up for a really memorable trip. With kids ranging from 1 to 10, we needed lots to keep them entertained. Penblaith was the perfect place with lots of indoor and outdoor games plus an incredible cinema room. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils which allowed us to prepare some great meals. The hot tub was also really popular. Huge thanks to Sarah for making our stay so memorable. We’d definitely return in the future!

We visited Penblaith back in 2015 for a Hen Party, We just had to bring the guys here to show them what a fantastic Stay it is.
It really never let us down at all. It was like back in 2015, the place is still absolutely immaculate only with more additions.
To our surprise they had only just finished the Cinema room and wow!!!!! Sunday evening we went and watched mama mia on the big screen and it was like being at the movies, comfort, great sound and very big screen, popcorn and beer what else could we have asked for.
Thank you to Sarah and the team for keeping such an immaculate Barn, We cannot recommend Penblaith enough, there is every thing you need and more for a great family gathering or a girls weekend away or even just friends getting together. We are all in the planning to go back as soon as we can.
Thank you for making my husbands 60th Birthday weekend and absolute dream.



Sarah replied 83 days ago
It is brilliant to hear you made such great use of the new Cinema Room - it really is like being at your own private cinema! It was a pleasure to welcome you again after 9 years and I am pleased the property did not let you down, we look forward to welcoming you back again (hopefully not so long between!)! Thank you. All the best.

We are a family of ten ranging in age from 18 to 80 and everyone was happy with the accommodation.
The younger ones enjoyed the games room, the hot tub, the x-box an in particular watching Eur0 24 in the new TV/cinema room.
The older ones enjoyed the peace and tranquillity of the situation.
BBQs and home made pizzas were enjoyed by all.
All in all, everything that could be required was provided and of high quality.
Thank you for an excellent holiday to a very friendly and helpful owner.

Penblaith Barn is a fabulous property set in a stunning location, with extensive grounds and overlooking the beautiful Herefordshire countryside. The accommodation is very well appointed with good sized bedrooms, comfortable beds and each with its own en suite. We were a group of fourteen and the house felt very spacious for us. The dining area is huge and we loved the addition of a bar area with drinks fridges and a coffee maker. The attention to detail is great - such as three dishwashers with tabs provided - and, importantly, instructions are provided for everything! Nothing is too much trouble for owner Sarah, who came over to welcome us in person and who was contactable for any questions or issues we had. All in all, it made a perfect setting for our 60th birthday celebrations.

A group of 11 friends stayed for 4 nights at Penblaith Barn and the feedback from everyone within our party was unanimous - an excellent property for us, each scoring the accommodation 10/10. The overall standard of the accommodation is exceptional, very comfortable, well equipped and with high quality fixtures and fittings. This is our second time at the Barn and the owners continue to innovate and add new features which all enhance the quality. Our group enjoys walking and there are plenty of walking opportunities either direct from the Barn or within easy reach by car. We are also a competitive group so the games room and plentiful outdoor space works really well for entertainment activities. We would have no hesitation in recommending Penblaith Barn, as we would the other related properties which we have also sampled.



Sarah replied 120 days ago
Unanimous 10/10 from all members of the group - excellent to hear, thank you. Best Wishes.

I booked Penblaith Barn to bring my friends together for my 30th birthday after struggling to find anywhere that was suitable for all of us including a wheelchair user and a baby. Penblaith ticked all the boxes and Sarah and the rest of the team were incredibly helpful in answering all my questions ahead of the stay. The barn had everything we could have wished for (especially the hot tub) and it's set in the most beautiful scenery! It was everything I'd hoped and more, I can't speak more highly of our stay. It was just perfect!

We stayed at Penblaith Barn last weekend to celebrate my Mum's 80th birthday, there were sixteen adults and one four year old child. We all had the most amazing weekend and did not want to go home!

It is the perfect location for a large family get together and celebration, the barn and the grounds are safe and secure for the children to have freedom, there is plenty to keep all ages amused and enough space to not get under each other's feet!
The views are amazing, we have all said how we miss waking up to those views this week!

The barn is very well managed by Sarah and Liz and family, they really have thought of everything. It is kept extremely clean, it is furnished to a high standard, there is so much equipment to use particularly in the dining and kitchen areas. The hot tub was enjoyed by some members of our party and it is kept so clean, that the chlorine was even topped up during our stay. Beds are extremely comfortable and good to have the ground floor accessible bedroom if you have any elderly or disabled in your group.

We would all highly recommend Penblaith Barn for a large family get together and we can't wait to be able to return at sometime, hopefully in the not too distant future!

Penblaith Barn was the perfect choice to celebrate my birthday with all our families - 14 in all. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable - each with an en-suite bathroom. The dining room and bar made an excellent area to gather and chat. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need. The setting with beautiful views was perfect especially as we were blessed with lovely weather and were able to make full use of the hot tub. Sarah was very helpful when booking and it was lovely to be greeted when we arrived, the personal touch of a hamper made it very special. Highly recommended!

As stated in the title this is the best you will find, We wanted a family weekend of all the cousins, 13 people in total. from the initial booking through to arrival the communications were second to none, Sarah could not have been more helpful. a link was sent of useful information, walks, pubs, food shop, etc etc, On arrival the house was spotless, there was a lovely welcome pack of local produce which was an excellent start, the rooms were perfect, we booked a Tesco delivery as recommended, this arrived on time, the kitchen is fully equipped, the bar area with plenty of space for all the drink, food and again fully equipped, the bean to cup coffee machine was very simple to use after (as with everything in the house) we read the clear instructions, the wifi worked, the Bluetooth speaker linked without issue, we used the pizza oven (again with clear instructions and enough wood, lighters etc). The hot tub was ready to use, the games room had all the equipment you could need. The beds were so, so comfy, tea and coffee in each room and a tv for those wanting some time to relax. As recommended we booked the Royal Arms pub for Sunday dinner, we walked there with the use of the Maps provided at the house (seriously they thought of everything). Would we stay again, in a heartbeat, would we recommend Penblaith Barn (only if it is at a time when we do not want to go back ourselves!!)

Penblaith Barn is a beautiful, very well equipped house! I genuinely can’t think of anything we could have wanted that wasn’t provided. The games room and bar area were perfect gathering points for all of us and when the teens needed a break from the adults, the TV lounge and Xbox were kept busy. The house was immaculate and there were some lovely treats in the welcome hamper. The virtual guestbook is a great idea with lots of useful information and ideas in it. We took advantage of hiring a chef for one evening which was.a real treat. There are great views from the house and we enjoyed the walk across the fields to the local pub. All in all a fabulous place and everyone had a great time.

A stunning house in a beautiful location. Loads for the kids to do. We were even lucky enough to have a snow day whilst there. We booked as a suprise for my dad’s 60th and he absolutely loved it. Thanks so much to Sarah for all of your help before and while we were there. My daughter is a full time wheelchair user and had everything there that she needed and the whole downstairs was fully accessible so she didn’t miss out at all. Thanks again we will definitely be back!!

What an amazing find! Set in beautiful countryside this fantastic barn exceeded all expectations. We were a group of 12 adults (couples) and we couldn't have asked for more! Walking in to a clean smelling hallway with a beautiful staircase and chandelier. Rooms downstairs to suit your mood, a large bar/dining area for the social moments and a gorgeous living room/snug for when you wish to snuggle up on the sofa to watch TV (cosy blankets also provided). Sarah has literally thought of everything and completely fully equipped with all of the crockery, utensils etc you would ever require.
The Hot Tub and the beautiful views outside are breath-taking.
All of the bedrooms are of a great size, with such comfortable beds and all En-Suite.
During our stay we had Debbie come in to provide treatments. WOW is all I can say!! Would highly recommend!
On the Sunday we pre-booked a Roast Dinner at the Royal Arms. Such a warm and welcoming pub, nothing was too much for the staff. The food was fantastic, a proper home cooked meal, which felt like we had gone to a friends house for a Sunday Lunch.
Even though we didn't have children with us, we kept saying how great it would be for families too!
Look forward to returning one day! Thank you Sarah and Team!

we recently spent a weekend at Penblaith Barn to celebatrate my wife's "big birthday" and it's fair to say it was a blast from start to finish. we were a group of about 18 of all ages from toddlers and teenagers right up ro 60-somethings and Penblaith caters for this superbly. All the rooms have ensuite faciltiies and is centrally heated throughout. There are two sizeable rooms downstairs - TV lounge and main lounge between the bar and hallway which are well furnished and ideal for just "chilling out".

The key highlight is the bar area with the extended table which became the focal meeting and social area. it was huge and an amazing feature and created a really vibrant atmosphere. also great for my little grandkids to wander aroud with stairgates on the main staircase as well as temporary stairgates for the upper floors. There are also high chares a travel cot and permanent cot available (they think of everything!). There is also a family room with smaller connecting room with two beds which is also big enough for the costs also.

We catered ourselves whilst we there and the kitchen was huge.plenty of fridges for drinks and an American-Stle fridge-freezer with ice-making machine. We had a food-delivery from Tesco on the night who delivered our food straight to the kitchen door at the rear of the barn - very convenient!

There is a games room to the side of the barn which has a pool table, table-tennis and table football with two comfortable settees to chill out on and a small 5-a-side goal just as you drive into the grounds. The games room great fun for all the group which added to the fun of the weekend. There was also a hot-tub (very popular) so bring your swiming costumes.

Plenty of parking for the group size plus electric charges if you have an electric car.

The thing I love about Penblaith is the care thought and attention the owners have put into the design and guest experience at Penblaith. nothing is too much trouble and Sarah was there to meet us on arrival and her Mum Liz met us before we left. Their communications from booking confirmation to directions were fantastic and very efficient.

On our arrival we had a "Welcome Basket" of locally sourced snacks which was a lovely thought along with a guide to local tourist attractions and local walks. All rooms are very clean with well-sized wardrobes, shower gel, shampoo, towels with tea and coffee making facillities.

For Sunday lunch we could heartily recommend the Royal Arms in nearby LLangrive - just under a 10-minute drive. Great service and food and recommended by Sarah - you won't be disappointed!

We had an amazing time and will definitely return to Penblaith in the future. It really made the weekend enhanced by the fantastic organisation of Sarah and Liz Pursey!

Fantastic to hear all ages enjoyed the property and its facilities, as well as the local area. We certainly try to think of everything to make our guests stay enjoyable and it's great to hear you agree. Thank you. All the best.

New Year 2023 was another excellent stay at Penblaith. Why look for another venue when you have found the perfect place? We will book again if its available. The facilities are second to none - you want for nothing (they supply all those little things - loo roll, dishwasher tablets, cling film, tea bags). The towels are huge and fluffy, the bedding is clean, luxurious and ample. The whole place was warm, the water never ran out, the hot tub was fabulous. There was ample room for all 18 of us with the three social areas and the many configs of bedrooms. Sarah and her family are super friendly and there if you need them (we didn't until we were those awful clients who seemed to leave too many things behind). I can't recommend this place highly enough. We'd love to go back in the summer as there seems to be so much to do in the surrounding area and rainy winter days aren't always conducive to sampling the local area to it's fullest. Thank you!!

We have just spent a wonderful weekend at Penblaith and would highly recommend it. A group of 15 with children aged 8-15, the accommodation was perfect with more than enough space for everyone to spread out. The facilities were excellent with everything we needed, and the Christmas decorations gave it a lovely festive atmosphere. Views were stunning and a great location for walks and exploring the area. Service was fantastic and Sarah made sure we had everything we needed. Hope to be back soon!

We are a group of fourteen women, all close to retirement age, who meet up once a year for a well earned, long weekend break. This was our tenth year and of all the places we have stayed, we agreed that Penblaith Barn was the best. What made it special was the sheer amount of space, both in the living areas and the en-suite bedrooms. The kitchen was so well equipped that we could easily have cooked any recipe and the appropriate kitchen implement would have been there to facilitate it. The dining room and cocktail bar were well thought out, with all cutlery, crockery and glassware stored there, as well as 2 of the 3 dishwashers, so setting up and clearing away the huge dining table were easily accomplished.
We made full use of the facilities outside with competitive fun in the games room and relaxing soaks in the hot tub. This was especially welcome after our rambles round the countryside, walking from the house on the local footpaths and bridleways - muddy in November but worth it for the stunning autumn scenery. All in all, a fabulous venue for a large group and I suspect we will be returning in the future.



Sarah replied 317 days ago
Wow - the best place you have stayed in the past 10 years of your annual gathering, what a compliment, thank you. We aim to ensure the kitchen is well-equipped and there are facilities to keep all ages and interests entertained. Thank you. Best Wishes.

This was the perfect place for our group of friends to catch up and relax for the weekend. The house was extremely clean and tidy and had everything we needed, big oven, dishwashers, plenty of cutlery and plates. The hot tub was so luxurious and so easy to just pop in without having to worry about heating it up etc. All the rooms were fantastic with en suites and teas and coffees. They have thought about every detail and need for the guests and when we had an issue with the car charging points the issue was resolved extremely quickly and without a fuss! I would highly recommend anyone looking for a weekend away to look at Penblaith barns as a place to stay.

Penblaith Barn is a superlative property in a beautiful setting with access to local walks and the Wye Valley. For a family gathering of four generations - 11 adults and 6 children - the accommodation spaces were perfectly suited. Great bar for the senior adults, excellent cooking and dining facilities, great relaxing spaces and the highly popular games room and hot tub for the young ones.
The whole experience from making the booking arrangements, the 3 night's accommodation to the final communications from the property company (Sarah Pursey) were first class.

We had a fantastic time at Penblaith Barn celebrating my husband's 40th birthday. The barn was spacious, luxurious and well equipped for a large group with plenty of things to entertain all ages (a great games rooms, hot tub and lawn for outdoor games). All of our group of 17 were very impressed with the accommodation and the amazing countryside views. We thoroughly enjoyed using the pizza oven & BBQ and the bar was excellent for hosting our own mini beer festival. The barn was very easy to get to from the Midlands so was perfect for a weekend stay (no long drives stuck in traffic!) and there were plenty of local places to visit including Symonds Yat, Goodrich Castle and the Forest of Dean. Battlelands was a particular highlight. The guest service was also excellent - the team were so friendly and quick to respond to any queries plus there was a lovely welcome pack full of local goodies waiting for us when we arrived. We would highly recommend the barn and hope to visit again.



Sarah replied 351 days ago
Thank you for the high recommendation. We are very lucky with the location - easily accessible from major road networks with lots of fantastic things to do locally (from activities to stunning tourist hotspots) as well as benefiting from beautiful countryside views. It is great all 17 members of the group were impressed. Thank you. All the best.

Clean, well equipped, nice bar area, good venue for a large family gathering with ground floor bedroom and en suite wet room perfect for the less able bodied.
Location scored 4/5 only as it was tricky to find for my elderly parents who are not regular satnav users. A What3words reference would be good. Also there is no pub or shop in easy walking distance. But if you want a rural, peaceful location it's perfect.
Sarah responded promptly to the one minor crisis we had (bbq gas ran out).
We would recommend Penblaith Barn and the biggest compliment is that we would re-book if we needed a similar venue again.



Sarah replied more than 1 year ago
Great to hear you would want to re-book and you all enjoyed the facilities at Penblaith Barn. Regarding directions: we sent directions (and entry information) which include an attachment with a detailed map (perfect for those traditional navigators) and this also includes a What3Words reference, perhaps this was not noticed within the email, I apologise. We are proud of the stunning rural setting with beautiful countryside views, and you are correct the nearest pub is a 35-minute walk. Thank you. All the best.

Oncr again, we had a fantastic extended family time with our children & grandchildren. The property is spacious, clwan and very homely. The bedrooms are comfortable and the hot tub is fantastic! There's plenty of outdoor space for everyone to enjoy and the view of the countryside is just beautiful. Definitely recommend this place without any hesitation.

Penblaith barn is an amazing converted barn, comfortable, clean and well equipped. This holiday gave us the opportunity to share time with our family creating happy memories in beautiful surroundings. The property is large, sleeping 18 people all with en-suite facilities and has 2 separate lounges with plenty of seating you can relax in one or watch the television in the other, just perfect for us! There is a separate games room which we used a lot for mini table tennis and snooker competitions. The outside gardens are large with wonderful views over the fields. We organised a treasure hunt in the garden for the children which they all loved we also had many games of football outside. The hot tub was used daily, there is also a BBQ and a pizza oven on the patio that can be used. There are some great scenic walks nearby along the River Wye which are worth exploring. Penblaith was just perfect for us, we loved it so much we have booked for next year!

Well, what can we say, from the moment we drove up and saw Penblaith Barn we were in awe. What a beautiful setting and what a great place to stay for three generations to have a family get together.
The rooms were large and comfortable and the kitchens fully equipped. The bedrooms were all exceptional and the complimentary toiletries very handy.
From booking to arriving everything was very easy, great directions provided and very warm welcome from Sarah. The welcome pack provided was extremely handy and very much appreciated by all.
The games room was a huge success and the outside space was just fantastic for rounders, cricket and football put that together with the hot tub and it was just superb.

This was our third Family Gathering at Penblaith Barn and yet again everything was top notch. I cannot fault the level of luxury. We range in age from 6yrs to over 70yrs and everyone has such a good time. The games room and hot tub are favourites and this time we even managed a game of rounders. The kitchen is well equipped making it easy to cater for 16 people.
It’s always such a joy to know everything will be perfect

Penblaith Barn is beautiful, luxurious,comfortable, relaxing and very spacious. We were a family group of seventeen, ages ranging from grandparents to a 6 year old, teenagers too. The barn was large enough for us all to be active, sociable or quiet. A games room, hot tub and endless outdoor space to play in kept children and adults occupied [even on a rainy day]. The kitchen is generously equipped as was the dining room, a table large enough for a true family meal. Rooms are all beautiful, unique and luxurious.
Wonderful views over gorgeous open countryside. Fabulous weekend.

Nothing is too much trouble for Sarah who I have liaised with on our bookings. The accommodation is of a high quality and standard and very comfortable

Just about to book next years break again, would thoroughly recommend for a wonderful relaxing break!

This property is fairly expensive to rent, but if you can fill it with enough people the price is reasonable per person, especially considering how well equipped it is. We had a group of 14, and it felt very spacious, fitting in more would be no problem at all. We made good use of the patio area with BBQ and hot tub, the dining area is great, and the provision of 3 dishwashers meant there was no problem keeping on top of the flow of used crockery. I was especially pleased to see the huge array of solar panels on the roof, and the electric car charger - it's the first time our EV has had a solar-powered charge! The rooms in the barn are all furnished very nicely, and the games room was very popular with the kids and adults too.

The area around the barn is beautiful countryside, we had a pleasant walk from the house for a few miles. Be aware that there's some narrow lanes to get there - no problems, just go slowly. And as always in a rural area, there are nearby working farms.



Sarah replied more than 1 year ago
As you correctly point out we offer fantastic value - especially when you are near our capacity (up to 18 guests) and consider how well equipped the property is and all the facilities available. It is great you noticed and appreciated our solar panels, these are a brand new investment this year and as a business we do a lot to ensure we are green (various forms of renewable energy, minimising plastic usage etc). Thank you. Best Wishes.

Wow! What a perfect place for Mum’s 90th birthday celebrations.
There was a generous welcome pack, which got our stay off to an excellent start. The owner was there to make sure we were happy with everything and to explain where things were and to say she would be coming round to do her checks on the hot tub during our stay.
The grounds were safe for the children aged 5-8. Plenty of space for cricket, rounders, badminton and football for “children” of all ages! The games room was well used by the 25-70 year olds. Hot tub was popular with all the family. Pizza oven and gas BBQ were well used and great for a large group to be able to keep dining simple and casual. We had a caterer from the suggested list to come in provide us with a sit down buffet for one day which was perfect and she had a link with someone who provided us with a birthday cake. Much better than us trying to transport one!
The terrace was a lovely place to watch all the birds and enjoy the views out to the Welsh Mountains. There were swifts, swallows and house martins and birds of prey to keep people entertained, and bats too.
Everything was of excellent quality. Nothing was tired and dated. The owner was professional and obviously keen to make sure that our stay was a success. Thank you Sarah!
Don’t hesitate to book this place if you are looking for a quality place to stay.

We have been meeting for 50 years for our reunion, our needs and budget have changed throughout that period, now we are more demanding , slightly?.

Penblaith in our party's words was the best we have stayed in. Clean , warm, spacious, plenty of parking, great hot tub.

Location, great, quiet but be prepared to reverse, as is common now country pubs can be shut at lunchtime.

Well equipped throughout, we self cater and it was a perfect facility.

Thank you.

It was our first stay in Penblaith Barn, to be honest, our expectations were high. We were not disappointed, it is in the most amazing location, convenient yet peaceful and at one with nature. The barn is amazing, it has everything you'll need and more. The quality of furnishings and fittings makes it a cut above the rest. The rooms are large with loads of space for 18 people. We loved the separate prep kitchen, the three dishwashers, the hot drinks kitchen area and bar. The beds are so comfy. We so enjoyed the games room, hot tub and the outdoor patio and lawns. Every single one of our guests loved everything about Penblaith Barn and would love to return.

We had the best time at Penblaith. The estate is absolutely stunning and looks out onto a sweeping valley with beautiful views. The rooms are lovely with the comfiest beds. There is a fun bar area and an even funnier terrace complete with a hot tub. The boys with us also were loving the games room. Sarah was helpful and kind and we had great communication from her. It was one of the best weekends of my life and this was in part because of the wonderful house we got to stay in. Couldn’t recommend more.

Penblaith Barn is perfect. Truly perfect. A large family gathering was made possible in this stunning location. Plenty of space for everyone. Plenty of time to spend together catching up. Plenty of things to do. Plenty of chilling.

Plenty of space - honestly it is a maze. The bedrooms are all beautiful and unique. Everything is thought about. The bar (more of that later) and huge dining table was the focal point for all family gatherings. Outside and the views were stunning. The hot tub was fantastic. Star gazing was amazing just sitting in the hot tub and gazing. No worries.

Plenty of things to do - Already mentioned the hot tub but it needs a second mention here as well! Loved the hot tub with its lights and sound system.The indoor games room was needed due to rainy moments. We had a table tennis competition as well as a pools table competition. What a brilliant little room. The main lounge was well equipped and the teenagers were delighted with the xbox and Netflix. However, I think it is fair to say the main focal attraction was the amazing bar area. Cocktails were made. Memories were made.

It was a very special place. We had one member of the group with a disability but that was all catered for and Sarah went above and beyond to ensure everything was available to make their stay just as comfortable.

I highly recommend Penblaith Barn. It really is even more amazing than the photos. Sarah and all the team work so hard to enable your stay to be as special as possible.

The family memories will last forever.

Having previously visited Trevase Granary for my Hen Weekend back in 2021, we decided to book again for a massive catch up and chill out at Penblaith Barn. Such a gorgeous property, the views are stunning, every need is catered for, and there is definitely plenty of room for every one to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet. The barns layout can means you can get a little lost, but it’s great for hide’n’seek haha
Thank you so much for having us again, and we definitely would love to return in the future!

We booked to stay at Penblaith for my wife's 40th and it could not have gone better. Pre-stay communication was brilliant and all questions were answered quickliy and consicely . The website has been done so well - the floorpan with pictures is very helpful for arranging rooms and the extra info/services at the barn is a great touch which meant we were able to book a chef very easily.
Driving up to the barn is so impressive, such a lovely building and has been converted to a very high standard, there was everything we needed - the car charging was an unexpected bonus as we had 3 electric cars - so good. The kitchen is stocked with all the utensils, cutlery, pots and pans you could ever need, and the bar likewise. Each room was super cosy and it felt like no one had 'the worst room' because there just isn't one - everyone was super chuffed.
Sarah was available to help out with anything we needed during the stay so we felt very looked after. I cannot recommend the barn enough - truly an awesome stay. We hope to be back in the summer to make use of that aiming outside space and pizza oven!!

This is our 3rd stay in this fabulous property and as always we've enjoyed every minute.
We are a multi generational family group that find all ages and interests catered for. The communal spaces are very well equipped. The dining area with the new addition of the bar and really comfy seating by the wood burner make this a great social space. The bar is really well equipped and we spent many hours creating coxktails for everyone. The TV lounge is a bit separate with a large TV and comfy seating for great movie watching and there is another comfy lounge with lots of seating perfect for quizzing/playing games. We like to eat as a family and the amount of equipment, pans, oven ware etc is more than enough to cook big family dinners. The games room and hot tub are excellent and well equipped and provide something for everyone. The bedrooms are comfy with plenty of space and ensuite bathrooms are always a great bonus.
Some of our party worked from the barn during the week and found the WiFi connection adequate to manage this comfortably.
The owners are accessible but not intrusive and very responsive to any queries or requests.
We will definitely be returning again!



Sarah replied more than 1 year ago
So pleased to hear our facilities catered for all ages and interests in your group and that you enjoyed the new bar at Penblaith Barn. We were pleased to welcome you back and are thrilled to hear you enjoyed every minute. We look forward to seeing you again next year! All the best.

This is an amazing property. We had a brilliant weekend away with all the family for a birthday celebration including cocktail making, games and a family meal. The house had everything we needed; the games room was great and there was plenty of space for everyone. The location was beautiful and peaceful. Would highly recommend this property and would love to stay again.

Absolutely out of this world the photos don't do the barn justice. The host Sarah was there to greet us on arrival which was lovely, she gave us everything we needed to know about the barn.
The barn it's self with 7 couples was unbelievably spacious, no one felt like they didn't have personal space in general whilst in the living areas or the bedrooms.
Everything has been finished to the highest standard and has been beautifully maintained. Every eventually catered for with the large hot tub, catering kitchen, games room, 2 living areas.
It is remote which is what we wanted but only 10/15 min drive to Ross on Wye or Monmouth. Had to visit to say I popped to Wales!
My sister was pregnant it was also January this option worked best for all. Drinks, food and merriment. All I can say is we will ba back.

Have just returned from a New Year break as a group of 17 plus a baby. The barn is really spacious and impressive, sociable yet plenty of space to spread out. Very well equipped kitchen.

Customer service provided by the owners is fantastic. We were made to feel very welcome. And the welcome pack was generous and delicious.
Kitchen was really well equipped for big dinners. We did a 3 course meal for 18 and they had everything we needed - even scales!

Games room was lots of fun and we enjoyed the hot tub looking out at the fantastic view.

The house has huge amounts of space to spread out - so would be great for a larger family gathering.
We had a 50th birthday celebration whilst we were there and the bar was a lovely touch for those cocktails.

The pub at Royal Arms at Llangrove was great food at great prices too. And you can walk to it over the footpaths if needed.

Myself and my extended family book a property for us to get together every Christmas and can honestly say that Penblaith Barn was the best property we have ever stayed at. The space is huge, with really special touches like the welcome pack, the provision of basics like tea, coffee and toiletries, the superb games room and beautifully equipped kitchen and bar. All rooms are en suite and super comfortable. The owners provide a very personal service and have thought of everything to make our stay comfortable. We will definitely be returning. It's a beautiful place to stay.

We are a group of 14 friends who have been meeting up annually for many years. Finding suitable accommodation for a large group is not easy so we were very pleased to find Penblaith Barn online, it looked marvellous and it surpassed expectations in reality, what a find! The barn is well equipped and furnished to a high standard and the owners were very attentive and helpful both before and during our stay. We have already booked to return next year.

16 of us spent a fantastic 3 days at Penblaith Barn - our third stay there.
The barn is a stunning conversion with superb quality fittings throughout. Hot Tub on the deck and a well stocked games room with pool table, table tennis and fussball.
Great communication from the owners who are keen to make sure you have everything you need for your stay including a local produce welcome basket.
Plenty of country walks around and pubs within easy reach.
If you are looking for a gold standard holiday rental you won’t find better than Penblaith. We are already looking at dates for next year.

From the moment we drove up the drive and saw the beautiful Penblaith Barn we where absolutely smitten.
Sarah was there to greet us and there was a lovely welcome pack full of local produce.
All the bedrooms are stunning with gorgeous ensuite bathrooms.
The living rooms are very spacious and very comfortable and enough space for everyone.
Our teenage boys loved the Xbox,
We spent a lot of time in the bar area which had every kind of glass needed. Cocktail making equipment and wine coolers.
The kitchen has everything you need with a extremely large cooker which is great when you cooking for a large number of people.
And the barn has 3 dishwashers which really came in handy for are party of 18.
The hottub is brilliant with beautiful views. The Games room is another added bonus. Lots of lovely walks around the barn.

Thankfully a long, beautiful driveway so that our host, Sarah, could not hear our screams of delight as we drove in. The kids, 18, 22 and 23 jumped out of the car and ran into the the house in search of the best bedroom. The Barn was beautiful, better than the pictures. Every bedroom was well appointed, made up to either twin or double, as requested by us. TV plus coffee & tea facilities in all rooms. It was fun exploring the different staircases to find all the bedrooms.

Very large kitchen with lots of good quality pans and fry pans for cooking; which we did each night so that we could sit down at the marvellous dinner table. lots of fun at this table including a great game of 'spoons'

The bar area was very well equipped with three fridges and two dishwashers - great cocktails made by Jack and good coffee made by our barista Loz.

Lots for the younger group to do with the games room and family room. We all had a great time, slept really well in the comfy beds and enjoyed the peace and quiet. Will be coming back on my next trip back to England.

Thank you Sarah for being such a gracious host and for the delicious welcome pack - we loved your barn!!!

We had an enjoyable stay at Penblaith Barn meeting up with relatives and friends I hadn't seen in a long time due to Covid. The facilities at the Barn (e.g. pool table, table soccer, etc.) especially the hot tub was a hit with everybody. The cottage was very well equipped and especially the bathrooms were well planned and thought out. A great thank you to Sarah who liaised with the company who lent us the equipment. Everything was in place when we arrived. However, I hadn't been aware that the cottage was so far off the beaten track that even locals had a hard time finding it and were only successful when entering the postal code. As a wheelchair user I was literally trapped in the cottage for the entire week as the bus stop was a long way away and my wheelchair wouldn't have been able to go on the bus as it (bus) didn't have a ramp. Access to the cottage was easy as there was a ramp in place although I found the door to the downstairs bedroom too narrow to enter the room easily and the carpet, which was there to make the room less chilly, was not particularly wheelchair friendly. The bathroom was equipped with a shower chair which unfortunately did not have wheels and therefore made taking a shower very difficult. Having said all this, we did have a wonderful week which passed all too quickly.



Sarah replied more than 1 year ago
I am pleased to hear how much you all enjoyed the facilities during your recent stay at Penblaith Barn. It was our pleasure to help you with organising the delivery and collection of mobility equipment for your ease. In terms of location, we are extremely clear on our website about the rural nature of the property, we certainly do not mention accessible bus stops nearby. We actually believe Penblaith's rural nature is one of our selling points with the beautiful far-reaching views, peace (except for the odd bird and farm animal!), and stunning stars. We are proud to be M1 and M2 disability rated and have many wheelchair users return year on year. We will certainly look into a shower chair on wheels as suggested. Holidays always seem to pass too quickly and I am delighted you had a wonderful week.

We recently stayed in Penblaith with a crowd of old friends and it is truly a lovely place to stay.
It is exactly as it appears in the images on the website and it is stocked with absolutely everything you could want during a self-catering stay.
It is huge! and comfortable and is in a unique position.
We were lucky to see one of the most beautiful sunrises ever on our first morning there.
We had excellent customer service from Sarah in that we knew she was on-hand at any time but not in an intrusive way.
The family obviously care very much about their business, so in turn you feel cared about during your stay.
Would recommend their properties without hesitation.

Excellent.
The property is so big and spacious it catered for all of our needs, there was 14 of us ranging from 9 to 72, one of the party was in a wheelchair. The fact that she was able to move around on her own downstairs and into the large garden was the highlight of the holiday. The wet room downstairs was ideal too.
The outdoor area is great, at one point we were playing football, badminton and catch on the grassed area with the kids whist others were in the hot tub waiting for the bbq. This meant everyone was happy which is hard to do with kids and adults on a family holiday. The games room is added bonus.
Location is very rural meaning it's so peaceful and Monmouth is very close and very nice to visit. Hereford is lovely to visit too and only 39 mins away.

Penblaith barn was a fabulous weekend away for a big family celebration it's outdoor/indoor living had absolutely everything you would need to suit everyone's requirements and interests. We particularly enjoyed the outdoor hot tub whilst star gazing. The rolling views of the cotswolds was stunning and it really was a tranquil getaway. All the ensuite bedrooms were exceptionally comfortable and the games room and outdoor area was a very nice touch for the kids to run around. Would highly recommend this barn for a fun relaxing weekend away.

Have just had a fantastic holiday at Penblaith Barn with our walking group. We were 8 couples and the facilities were perfect for us with en suite rooms, large areas to socialize and a big table to all eat together, plus wonderful extras like the hottub to enjoy at the end of a day's walking. Sarah had left a very generous welcome pack for us and was on hand if we needed anything. The area is excellent for walks around Monmouth and Ross on Wye.



Sarah replied more than 1 year ago
I am thrilled you enjoyed the facilities at Penblaith as well as the many stunning walks we have in the area. We are also very lucky with the wealth of quality producers we have to allow us to put such a beautiful Herefordshire Welcome Basket. Thank you. All the best.

We were looking for somewhere for a family of 14 (8 adults, 6 children) to celebrate my Husbands birthday and this was exactly right for us. The place is absolutely fantastic, clean, comfortable, everything you could possibly want with a games room, tv room, hot tub and lots of outdoor space. It is very rural but we had bbqs and there is a pizza oven so we took all our own food and it was perfect.

We booked the barn to celebrate my Mum’s 60th birthday last year. There were 16 of us staying aged 1-62. The hosts were very attentive with replying to any emails that we had sent them and made the booking process stress-free.

When we arrived, we were greeted by an amazing building which is located within beautiful, peaceful surroundings. Sarah came soon after we arrived and made sure that we had settled in and answered any questions we had.

During our stay, we had a fantastic time.The barn is very well planned out and felt cosy and comfortable. There was also many details that had been provided by the hosts to make things easier for our stay. For example, there were things such as a high chair and stair gates already provided to ensure the children were safe.

We had an excellent time during our stay. We cannot think of one negative point. This place cannot be recommended enough!!

We are planning to come back in the near future!!



Sarah replied more than 1 year ago
Thank you for your high recommendation. I am thrilled you enjoyed everything about your stay and look forward to welcoming you back another time. Best Wishes.

This is one of the very few places available to fit our family in for a week end. It is very well designed and constructed and has all the facilities for a very enjoyable break. The young members, grand children and great grand children, were in the hot tub morning noon and night, even at 5.45 am on the last day. BBQ was an essential ingredient and much used. Although it is remote it is reasonable accessible and its position gives views of countryside unequaled.. We hope to celebrate our 60th wedding anniversary here in 2024.

As a family scattered all over the country we like to get together. This is the perfect place! We first visited in 2018 and loved it so much we needed a return visit so booked for 2020 which was transferred to 2021 and we finally got there this year. It was not a trick of memory Penblaith was every thing we remembered and more. The addition of a bar is genius and a pizza oven an added bonus. So relaxing and luxurious can’t wait to do it all again hopefully next year.



Sarah replied more than 1 year ago
I am delighted to hear you were just as impressed with your return visit to Penblaith (finally after 2 cancellations due to COVID!) and enjoyed the new additions (including the bar, table football, pizza oven). We look forward to welcoming you back again. Thank you. Best wishes.

I wanted to go away for my BIG birthday & I booked it 18 months ago, in the depths of lockdown. I could only book it for 6 guests at the time, luckily that lifted so there were 15 of us in the end. We stayed in Penblaith & it was perfect, everything the pictures show & more. 8 double/ensuite bedrooms so everyone had their own space.2 large receptions rooms, both with TVs. A huge dining room with integrated bar area - we spent most of our time in here as it was big enough, & very cosy with its own fire. 2 dishwashers & 3 fridges in here! Then a big kitchen with a huge American fridge/freezer & another dishwasher. I think this was the best kitchen I've seen in a rental property, the biggest selection of pots, pans & serving dishes ever! I arranged for a chef on the Saturday night, all we did was lay the table, he & his assistant did the rest & they left the kitchen immaculate. There is also a hot tub on the terrace, where the girls watched the boys playing cricket on the lawn in front, while sipping bubbles. Bliss! Plus a games room for when the boys got bored of just sitting & chatting. It was perfect & just what I wanted, I do hope we'll be back :-)

Great to hear you were impressed with the well-equipped kitchen provided and you enjoyed your big birthday celebrations. We look forward to welcoming you back. All the best.

The Barn is in a Stunning location with plenty of space both inside and out for the 16 adults and 4 children in our group. The bedrooms are all very comfortable and well equipped. The bedding and towels are excellent quality. The family room
With two day beds was ideal for our family with two little ones. The living areas were also very spacious with the dining and bar area used the most. The kitchen was very spacious and provided everything we needed and more. We used the games room and the hot tub and played rounders in the sun and did an Easter egg hunt in the front grassed area. We visited the horses and cows in surrounding fields and the children loved watching a tractor in a nearby field. Also worth mentioning that we had a slight issue with the hot tub but I phoned Sarah and she dealt with it immediately, so excellent service. We had a fabulous time and would definitely recommend Penblaith Barn to any group looking for a large luxurious retreat suitable for all ages.

A fabulous location for a multi generation family holiday and 80th birthday celebration. Could not fault the accommodation and facilities which had everything that you could possibly need and more, especially in terms of kitchen equipment. You might not think that 3 kettles and dishwashers are needed but with a large number of guests it really makes things easier. Beautiful views from the barn and along local walks ( take a detailed OS map / book of walks if heading out on footpaths). The new bar area and attached games room proved very popular at the end of each day. Every bedroom had an en-suite and the beds were very comfortable. The barn was warm and lounge rooms cosy in the evenings, lots of space for everyone to socialise together or relax in different areas. A very popular and enjoyable stay for everyone in our family.

After booking the Barn for my partner's 30th birthday, I couldn't be more pleased. We had an amazing time and cannot fault the facilities. The space was extremely impressive and there was all manner of helpful things provided (cocktail shakers, games, a coffee machine, 3 dishwashers!!) The view was also superb and the hot tub the cherry on top, as well as comfy beds, a separate games room and excellent sound system.

We hope to be back some time again soon.

We would highly recommend Penblaith barn. It was a lovely venue for our New Year get together with both adults and children. Booking was simple and their communication was excellent. Sarah met us at the venue when we arrived but to be honest everything was well set out, stocked and there were plenty of instructions so we needed very little human intervention. There are two lounge areas and now the bar has been built you really don't need to go any further than the dining room/bar - which is where we spent most of our time. Well set out and comfortable bedrooms, each with their own bathroom. What more could you ask for. Oh and the hot tub too for those brave enough (it was Dec/Jan!!). I can imagine in the summer with the outdoor dining and the French doors it is a wonderful venue for alfresco dining too. My party had nothing but positive things to say about it. Honestly, so well stocked. We go away every two years and are practiced at taking things like toilet roll and dishwasher tablets but it was completely stocked with everything you would need including more than enough bin liners and tea towels (which are sometimes lacking) and more crockery and cutlery than I have ever seen. The games rooms kept the kids entertained and they had an Xbox and Netflix - perfect! If we can keep our numbers to 18 we will be booking again. Thank you!!

After 2 cancellations due to covid restrictions we eventually got to Penblaith in November ( originally booked April 2020 then June 2021) to celebrate my 60th birthday with family and friends.
We had an amazing time and the weather was kind, apart from storm Arwen causing loss of electricity which only lasted a morning ( thanks to Sarah who drove around the countryside to find the engineers & persuaded them to prioritise getting our line back on )
The Barn has everything for all seasons and was warm and cosy with plenty do to. The new bar area was a great idea & well utilised, and the hot tub a wonderful way to start gaze in the warm, on the lovely clear evenings.
Fabulous walking both from the Barn and a little further away, and Monmouth and Ross are lovely little towns to visit.
We had the Lazerclay shooting come to us for a fun morning, and a delicious catered meal one evening by Harts Barn Cookery school,
In all a lot of happy memories were made and Sarah couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful to make our stay perfect.




Charlie replied more than 1 year ago
Thank you so much for your wonderful review!! We are really pleased you finally got to stay after the cancellations.

Penblaith Barn is perfectly located for a large gathering of family or friends. I came with 7 other couples to celebrate my birthday and we had an amazing time. The layout of the barn, together with the hot tub and the recent addition of the bar, helped to make my birthday weekend one to remember. The barn is spotlessly clean, and has everything you could need to cater for a large number of people. The addition of realistic plastic glasses took aware the nervousness around breakages! Sarah came to welcome us on arrival and although we didn't need to call upon her during our stay, it was comforting to know that they were only a few minutes away if required.
I have stayed in many large properties over the years, and this is most definitely at the top of the list. You'll be hard pressed to find a fault with this property, and I can highly recommend that you book it - you won't be disappointed!



Charlie replied more than 1 year ago
Thank you for your wonderful review, it's great to hear such lovely feedback. We always like to welcome our guests to let them know we are never too far away, should they need anything at all.

Penblaith barn was a great home for our family holiday with stunning views over the fields and beyond, very peaceful, comfortable and relaxing.
The children loved the large spacious garden and the games room was excellent for all of us. The hot tub was fun and it was great to use the pizza oven and BBQ. The inside ‘Bar’ was welcomed by all! Lots of happy memories for our family.

The quality of every aspect of Penblaith is 5 star. Fifteen of us stayed and not one of us could find any fault whatsoever. The welcome hamper was a lovely treat to begin with and this was followed by wonderful days spent in the hot tub, the fantastic games room or just lazing around the grounds taking in the beautiful surroundings. We are already planning our next trip back!!!

Before we arrived at the barn, the communication from the Purseys was excellent.
The barn itself exceeded expectations, every bedroom was spacious and clean. The games room was a great addition to the property.
The location is superb and we loved sitting outside, either in the hot tub or while making use of the bbq facilities.
I would highly recommend Penblaith Barn to anyone!

Due to Covid we had to cancel our original plans . We found this cottage last minute and trust be it was a blessing in disguise.

The cottage is absolutely stunning ! As we come from a busy city it was so tranquil just hearing the wildlife in the morning. No cars for 3 days.

The facilities are amazing . We managed to use everything. The hot tub is so relaxing.

Plenty of kitchen utensils and two dishwashers which makes the cleaning up so easy .

Honestly we can’t fault the barn in anyway.

Thankyou Sarah for creating this special memory for our grandfather !

Very comfortable house for our ladies weekend away!
Spacious, warm, comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, large Jacuzzi. Love the extra 'kitchenette' for drinks in the dining area.
It was a good place to hunker down while the Covid19 virus news was erupting
Would be a great house for anyone in a wheelchair or reduced mobility, with bedroom, level access and wide doors on the ground floor.

Penblaith was as wonderful on our return stay as it was 9 years ago when we first came.

Fabulously equipped accommodation, with heaps of space in a great location. It’s the perfect place to host 3 generations of 2 families. Everyone was very happy... until the end and then there were some tears!!

Thanks for making our return visit such a great success.

The barn is fabulous. Very clean, well furnished and a great location for walking. The games room came into its own on a wet Sunday and the lounge was large enough for 15 of us to sit, chat and play games. The kitchen was really well equipped and lots of appliances. The bedrooms were beautifully done with great views. No need to put the fires on as the heating was very efficient. A fabulous weekend had by all. Sarah was a very helpful
And friendly host

The facilities are great and there is everything you could wish for provided. The views as far as the Malvern are beautiful. The barn would be a fabulous place to relax at any time of year.

We spent 5 nights at Plenblaith Barn over the New Year period. We all had a great time. The property is so large that everyone felt they had their own space.

The kitchen was very well equipped, and we had plenty of fridge space. It was great having the various sitting areas also. The grounds were very well kept, and we all enjoyed the large hot tub.

The property is in a great location, as although secluded, towns/amenities are not too far.

Thank you for a lovely stay.

This is the third time that my extended family of 12 adults and 3 children have got together at Penblaith Barn in the last four years. Everywhere is spotless and warm on arrival. The downstairs space is perfect for us with two rooms that accommodate everyone and provide an arena for quizzes and family games and a quieter zone. We love it and are booking again for 2020.

Thank you, Frank! We are very pleased to be the venue for your family Christmas! All the best to you all and happy New Year!

We choose Penblaith Barn due to it's central location for the eight couples who were travelling from the south coast, Yorkshire, Hull, East Anglia and places in between. We wanted somewhere that had at least eight en-suite rooms, one of which needed to be suitable for a disabled person. Penblaith Barn easily met all these requirements. It is fully equipped to cater for large parties and we even managed to cook a full "christmas dinner" - although it was only November. The large table in the dining room meant we could all sit together to eat and with two lounges it was also possible to find a quiet spot if needed. Although the weather wasn't kind to us we still managed a couple of walks to the local pub (2 miles) and a couple of late night sessions in the hot tub. We would certainly recommend staying at Penblaith Barn.

We're so pleased you all enjoyed your 'pre- Christmas' at Penblaith and that you enjoyed some of the local area too. Thank you for taking the time to write a review. Best wishes.

I have been staying at Penblaith barn, twice a year for many many years now and it never fails to amaze me. When we walk in I always feel like I’m coming home because everything is just perfect and homely.

Myself & 15 others had a great time at Penblaith; there was plenty of room, the rooms were extremely comfy and there was more than enough to keep us occupied (the hot tub definitely helped!). The accommodation itself has been kept to a high standard and is worth every penny - perfect for a a big group getaway with family or friends. Would definitely consider re-booking in the future.



Amy replied more than 1 year ago
Thank you! Glad you all enjoyed yourselves and the hot tub too! Lots of places to explore nearby if you come back and fancy venturing out. All the best.

Owners on hand if you needed them but left to enjoy your stay without hassle or intrusion. Lovely huge house with all modern amenities. We had excellent weather so could really enjoy the grounds and the games equipment. Welcome pack was a nice touch. Clear instructions on how to use pizza oven, hot tub, cooker etc. Really thought about the customer experience and tried to cater for a relaxing stay. Thoroughly recommend staying at this property.

Thank you for the review of Penblaith. I will be in touch about the cleaning score as we are only happy with a high standard so we will be sure to address anything we need to. I'm really pleased you all enjoyed the space and hopefully you helped yourselves to some of the fruit on the trees too! All the best.

Had a great week with family and friends at Penblaith Barn, most of the group stayed for the weekend - some of us were able to linger longer. Plenty of room and facilities. Walked to local pub Royal Arms for Sunday lunch and also joined their quiz on Thursday night, very welcoming (you need to book for food as kitchen is small). Morgan factory in Malvern was also a great tour and test drive, won't be buying though - too difficult to get in and out !!! Hosts helpful and very responsive.

Thank you for your review and for telling us of the things you enjoyed in the area. The Morgan factory sounds like a great experience and one that we'll add to our website's 'plan your stay' map. Wishing you all the best.

We rented the property for a family get together with ages from 60 years - 6 months. Amy and Liz did a great job of advising us throughout the booking process and making sure we were happy during our stay.

The property was excellent for the group get together. Lots of space for everyone with rooms to relax quietly or be sociable. The games room was a hit with the whole family.

Having ensuites for all bedrooms was great and a luxury.

The space around for ball games and kids to run around helped keep all occupied.

We made us of the hot tub and loved the pizza oven.

Thank you Liz and Amy for a great holiday.

Penblaith Barn is a comfortable holiday barn with fantastic open views and very peaceful.
With 2 large lounges and a family dining room there is plenty of room for everyone, all 8 bedrooms with ensuite facilities are very clean. The games room is very popular with family competitive games of pool and table tennis and there is a very long patio which runs the whole length of the barn with a hot tub, BBQ and pizza oven. This area leads down some steps, or slope, to the garden
which is a large and safe place for children to play, we had games of football and cricket outside on the lawn and created our own 10 round quiz for the evenings! This is an ideal holiday home for families of all ages to be able to share and create many happy lasting memories which we have done.

We hired the property for our wedding guests and we have had rave reviews from them. It was great knowing everyone had their own bathroom as not all the guests knew each other and meant we could fairly split the cost between them. It had everything you could need, lots of space and great facilities. Amy and Liz are wonderful to deal with! Thank you, everyone!

From the moment we arrived, we realised that Penblaith Barn was well set up for our requirements. We liked the fact that there were two kitchens, which were well stocked with cutlery and crockery and three dishwashers! The hot tub was lovely and warm with plenty of plastic cups for enjoying a drink in there. As the weather was so lovely, we didn't actually end up really leaving the property all weekend, and yet the kids still found plenty of things to do to keep themselves amused. We really enjoyed the setting, both indoors and out. Thanks for a lovely weekend.

We were looking for a place with space and an en-suite in every room for my sisters hen do. Penblaith Barn is beautiful, I don’t think the pictures do it justice and the view from upstairs is absolutely stunning. I want to bring my family back now because it would be perfect for a large family gathering. Do not hesitate to book, you won’t be disappointed.

We hired Penblaith Barn to celebrate my 50th birthday with a group of 16 friends.
The communication from start to finish was excellent.
The Barn was finished to a high standard throughout , very clean on arrival and equipped to a really high standard with lots of plates/ cutlery / mugs etc to more than accommodate us.
The house was cosy and welcoming with lots of different areas for a large group to be able to split and not feel too confined if someone needed their own space.
Overall , an excellent stay and we can’t wait to return for another visit
Thank you to Liz and Amy for all they did to accommodate us.

This was our third time at Penblaith. The combination of light and space makes it a unique venue for family get-togethers. Importantly for mixed age groups the two sitting rooms can provide a quiet space when a party continues in the other. Similarly the hot tub and games room are other pleasant distractions.

This was our fifth consecutive stay at Penblaith Barn, for our annual pre-Christmas family gathering. There were 18 people of all ages ranging from 5 years to 71 years, and all of us thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The games room and hot tub are always a great hit, together with lots of safe outdoor and indoor space for games. The kitchen facilities are excellent for large-scale catering. We also enjoyed a family-friendly 3 hour walk along the River Mon, from Skenfrith Castle.

Beautiful barn with lots of space for the numbers it caters for. Very rural location so need to drive to any tourist spots, walks or hostelries. Well equipped with 3 dishwashers and the crockery and glasswear to fill them! Beds were comfortable and rooms were spacious. Some low beams on the second floor but these didn't cause any problems or cracked skulls. Hot tub was spacious and clean. Plenty of parking and lovely views.

Great customer service from start to finish. Two beds weren’t made up when we got there, but this was quickly sorted. Brilliant range of cups, saucers, cooking utensils etc.

Location is good with magnificent views; only stay here is if you want complete isolation (which is what we wanted) as no shops, pubs within walking distance.

A lovely house and we’ve had two lovely stays here.



Amy replied more than 1 year ago
Thank you, rural Herefordshire does make you feel as if you can get away from it all yet it doesn't take long to take advantage of the fantastic pubs and attractions, which I'm sure you have found, in the area. Llangrove has a very good pub and although it takes about 45 mins, is a nice walk with lovely views to enjoy on the way. Apologies for the day beds not being made up, an oversight on our part. We are glad you enjoyed to time here again. All the best to you all.

Superb house in a beautiful location. High quality throughout. Very well equipped. A great place for a family get together. Priced at the very top end for August. Only downside was the high number of flies in the kitchen and some in the dining room despite obvious attempts to deal with the problem. Follow owners directions to find house easily. Sat Nav takes you close then leaves you wondering.



Amy replied more than 1 year ago
Thank you for your review and compliments about the property. We are sorry that you found the amount of flies a discomfort, as you mentioned, we had tried to reduce the number. This year in the UK for rural areas there is no denying that there have been significantly more than in previous years so it has not been a big problem before, thankfully. I think we would all agree that this year has had exceptional weather which unfortunately favoured flies! We are just very pleased that horseflies haven't made an appearance. Best wishes to you all.

Perfect for a long weekend away celebrating my mum's 80th birthday with family. Very spacious living areas and perfect outdoor dining facilities. The weather was so perfect that we spent most of our time outside and the hot tub was very popular with everyone. Bedrooms were excellent and it was great that each one had it's own ensuite. Kitchen facilities were also excellent with plenty of glasses, crockery etc. 3 dishwashers helped!!!!

The accommodation was very good with large bedrooms and comfortable beds. We did struggle with the heat in the bedrooms so more fans would have been useful. The lounges were both a good size allowing us all to sit together and the dining tables inside and out provided ample seating. The barbecue was large enough to cook sufficient for all while the views from the terrace (and the hot tub) were superb. A very comfortable and enjoyable stay with the only issue being the number of flies - due to the heat and the nearby animal shed.



Amy replied more than 1 year ago
Thank you for your review. We are pleased you all felt well accommodated and enjoyed the lovely Herefordshire countryside views. The flies issue we have taken on board and are investing in more measures to help solve the problem in addition to the fly screens in the kitchen area and other controls we already have in place. We will look into investing in more fans for those rooms on the lower levels that haven't needed them in the past but the usually cool stone walls have really been warmed by all of this hot weather we have had! With best wishes to you and your family.

Penblaith Barn is a fantastic property in a quiet, rural location, perfect for a weekend away with friends and family. The bedrooms are all really well furnished and decorated. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating - with the patio areas and grass areas ideal for lazy afternoons. For those looking for slightly more activity, the games room was well equipped and well used. We arranged for caterers to prepare a meal for us on one night, which worked really well. There were 17 of us in the house and everyone of those was hugely impressed by the house, the facilities and location. We would not hesitate to book Penblaith Barn again.

We booked Penblaith as we needed a large venue to hold a family get-together. Amazingly, after long drives from all parts of the U.K., everyone found it without a problem. It is said first impressions are important and this is so apt. Entering the sweeping drive, my first comment was “Wow.”
Ample parking for cars at the rear gave access to the main entrance. On our left we could see the fully equipped games room. The wow feeling continued as we inspected the house. Ample seating and three large rooms where people could escape to when they needed to escape from other family members.
Whether you want to sit on the full length patio taking in the lovely views across to the Malvern Hills or take advantage of its central location to visit the nearby towns and villages, Penblaith is the place to visit.
Heartily recommended.

A large barn conversion with plenty of sitting and eating space, and very good en suite bedrooms. Very pleasant location with far reaching views. Generally well equipped for self-catering with plenty of fridge and freezer space and multiple dishwashers. Links to good local caterers to give everyone a break! Helpful and friendly owners. Took on board some minor problems promptly and efficiently. An unheralded area full of interest for visitors with diverse interests. Would recommend to friends, and hope to return!

We visited Penblaith Barn for our 19th annual family weekend and it met the needs of our group ranging from 6 months to 84 years. A large, very well equipped, comfortable property in a lovely setting and with good facilities.
Very helpful service before and after from Amy and Liz together with excellent directions.

What a wonderful barn, great for our stay. Stayed at the barn with friends, family & children & the barn suited everyone perfectly. Penblaith has everything you need & there are plenty of things to do nearby, but you need a car if you want to go out and about.
The owners were so helpful & friendly, and would definitely stay her again.

A fantastic weekend had by all. The barn is in excellent condition and is perfect for a get together with friends and family. We went for a girls weekend for a 30th birthday. The location is great, you don't really need to leave the barn! A few went for country walks and popped into Monmouth which is a couple of miles down the road. All the bedrooms have en-suites. My family have used the barn several times now and the standard has not changed. I would highly recommend.

We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Penblaith Barn. It was perfect for our family group of varying ages ( 12 - 85). Everyone enjoyed the table tennis and hot tub as well as the very comfortable accommodation and it was a delight to have ensuite bedrooms. Perfectly located and easy to find - we also enjoyed a couple of long country walks . I would recommend this accommodation highly.

Following our previous week's stay for Christmas 2014, our family returned to Penblaith Barn (2017). We had a wonderful time celebrating our eldest daughter's 40th on the 23rd, and Christmas, with our 5 children, their spouses and 7 grandchildren aged from 23months to 8 years.
As soon as we arrived, we felt 'at home'.
Everyone had a wonderful, relaxing time and the children found it a magical experience, all the more so because they got to build asnowman!!

Thank you for writing a review, Jenny. We were happy to have you back and pleased that it lived up to expectations. What a bonus that they could play in the snow at Christmas time! All the best to you and your family.

I booked Penblaith Barn for a long weekend to celebrate my birthday. It's an amazing property in the middle of nowhere, offering the chance to escape from city life and recharge your batteries (that said, there's WiFi and full 4G mobile signal). The Barn is spectacular - rustic and full of character, but kitted out in the same manner as a 5-star hotel. The huge kitchen and separate dining room were perfect for a slap-up birthday meal, and the 3 dishwashers meant nobody was stuck doing the washing-up. The living-space is enormous (2 lounges), and the outdoor hot tub with panoramic views of the countryside was just spectacular. On our final evening there was heavy snowfall, and the owners kindly sent a tractor to help us get the cars out - incredibly helpful. In short, you must stay here!

We are an extended family, 18 of us, aged from 4 to 95, and this was our fourth Christmas weekend stay at Penblaith - probably says it all! The house, decor and surroundings are beautiful. We love the views and the outdoor activities, the jacuzzi was magical under this year's super moon. The children enjoy the games room. The chefs have excellent facilities. The big lounges are perfect for family games. The disabled facilities are perfect for granddad. Many thanks to the Pursey family for a wonderful weekend.

Theres a reason that there is no pages missing from their guest book. Every room is en suite, beautifully decorated, clean and comfortable. Everyone is brilliantly accommodated for, the kitchen is fully equipped, there is more than enough glassware/ crockery and even if you should run out, then simply fill one of the THREE dishwashers.
Penblaith barn really sets the benchmark for this market and Liz and Amy are so friendly and helpful.
The welcome basket is pretty special too.

Our stay was perfect booking all the way through to leaving. Amy and Liz who manage the property were excellent throughout with their level of customer service. The directions to the location are spot on and Penblaith Barn is stunning property big enough for the whole family to stay, eat together and spend time together but also enough room for us all to have our own space as and when required.

Anything we needed was on hand from games to cult lay down to details of the closest supermarket or restaurants. Even details of private hire chefs!

We hope to come and stay again in the future.

Penblaith Barn is beautiful and full of character in the most glorious setting. My family stayed there to celebrate a special birthday and we couldn't have chosen a better place to be. All the bedrooms are really lovely and there is so much space even with a houseful. My husband uses a wheelchair and all of the ground floor and huge terrace is fully accessible. The owners were extremely helpful with the special arrangements that he needed. We hope to return for another special celebration.

Our stay at Penblaith Barn didn't disappoint. We had a fantastic weekend. The owners have been very thoughtful in providing almost everything you could need. (Couldn't find any oven gloves though)

Very comfortable surroundings, a real home from home just a bit more luxurious.







Amy replied more than 1 year ago
Hello Lynne. It was very nice to meet you all, it sounded like you had an amazing time! Sorry about the lack of oven glove, I'm not quite sure what happened there as we always provide one plus enough tea towels, hand towels, apron and everything else you might possibly need in the kitchen but I expect you found it all! I hope all of your family had a good journey home to Ireland and elsewhere.

This is the 3rd time we have stayed a Penblaith, on two other occasions we stayed at Trevase. We are a family of 18 aged 76 to 8 living in different parts of the UK. We love the area which is centrally located for us all and offers excellent activities for all age groups. Both barns are very well equipped and very comfortable. We wanted to return next Easter but you are already booked!

We needed a large property with all bedrooms having their own en-suite facilities and this fitted the bill to perfection. Everything you need is at the barn - playing field, games, games room, excellent kitchen and hot tub. Yet within easy reach is the lovely town of Monmouth. We also enjoyed excellent walking with the Wye valley and Symonds Yat on the doorstep. The party age ranged from 2 - 75 and everyone had thoroughly good time.

We spent a fantastic family weekend here. The barn was perfect - they had really thought about everything we would need. There is plenty of space inside and out and the games room was brilliant. The kitchen and dining room had plenty of everything you'd need and the hot tub was a big hit! The beds were comfortable and there was loads of hot water. Amy was also amazingly helpful when I realised we wouldn't be there in time for our grocery delivery. I can't recommend it highly enough.

For the past 7 years my family has rented a house for a pre Christmas weekend together. We have never been disappointed and Penblaith met all our needs especially as this year my niece and her toddler and baby joined us and the provision of cts and high chairs was ideal.

This was our third pre-Christmas long weekend visit. We were a family group of 16 (previous two years we were 18) ranging from grandson aged 3 to great-granddad aged 94. We always thoroughly enjoy our visit, which is perfect for all our needs. The ground floor bedroom works well for great-granddad and the games room, jacuzzi, wonderful kitchen facilities and two lounges are perfect for everything and everyone. Everywhere is so tastefully decorated, including beautiful Christmas decorations. Rooms, bedrooms, are warm and comfortable. This year we loved the beautiful frost covered, sunny vistas each early morning (from the jacuzzi). Liz is always especially helpful with shopping delivery, or in case we've forgotten vital items (turkey foil this year). Our annual visit is a firm favourite in the family calendar and, apparently, the children's best weekend of the year. I hope we'll be back next year too. Many thanks to the Pursey Family!

This was our second year at Penblaith Barn for our family holiday. The barn was perfect for all of us, age ranging from 5 months to 88 year olds. Both lounges are extremely comfortable for relaxing in and the barn is large enough to 'find' your own space. The added bonus was the games room and hot tub which were both used daily. The gardens are great for children to have fun in and the goal post on the main lawn was great for energetic children and adults! Good kitchen facilities and great dining area.

Thank you for a lovely weekend. The barn is stunning and every room is very spacious with an on-suite. The dining room and lounges/snug worked well for different games and groups. Well stocked.

Amy and Liz (hosts) were friendly throughout.

The hot tub has a view across countryside.

5* we'all come again!

Stunning house with fantastic views in a truly beautiful location. Liz & Amy seemed like very nice people and were very helpful and provided me with all the information I could possibly need. I would love to return in the future with friends, partners and families but I would go as far as saying Penblaith Barn is almost too nice to be fully appreciated by 18 twenty something year old men boozing all weekend on a stag do. A real highlight for us was the large garden space and football goal, this provided us with hours of fun as well as of course sitting in the hot tub in the gusty cold late September weather and looking out at the almost panoramic views of the beautiful green rolling hills on the horizon. I would highly recommend Penblaith Barn to those looking for a long weekend or week away with family & friends.

Penblaith Barn is in a rural setting catering for up to 18 guests in 8 seperate bedrooms. The accommodation is five star and our 13 adults and four children thorougly enjoyed our 'family get together' weeks stay. Large and very spacious with enough room to be private if you so wished. The facilities, equipment, and overall standard of accommodation was excellent, and could not be faulted. Good communication from the owners was appreciated, and a personal visit was made on the first afternnon. Although we had no problems, we know that help, if needed, was very close by.

A beautiful conversion with all the comforts of a home from home. We stayed for a hen do and the location worked perfectly for activities in the Forest of Dean and lovely base to come back to. The hot tub was a huge hit! We had great weather so spent most time outside, but there were plenty of entertainment options we could have taken advantage of if needed. Something for all ages!

Liz and Amy are perfect hosts to make a memorable holiday. Our family of 18, 3 generations (77 to 12 age range), had space to do there own thing, enjoy the Games Room, Hot Tub and outside space. Lots of things to do in and around from Off Road Cycling, Go Ape, Canoeing and lovely walks, Castles and Houses to visit not to mention the attractive nearby Towns. The terrace with BBQ made self catering so easy, 3 dishwashers - great - catered for all washing up. Everything provided and extra for 18 as stated in the online brochure. A lot of thought has gone into this attractive Barn conversion to make for a very relaxed holiday. Thank you Liz and Amy again for a lovely holiday. Jane Donovan Yorkshire

Sixteen of us had a reunion at Penblaith . We had been before and chose to go back as it is one of the best places we have stayed. We go to a different place each year. Liz was very helpfull when I realised I had a person without a bedroom. She came over straight away and made up another bed in our room which we were all happy with.

Fourteen of us had an amazing long weekend to celebrate three couples Ruby weddings. The location is so beautiful and peaceful and the house is awesome. So well equipped more than enough of everything and all beautiful quality. 3 dishwashers!!
Everyone loved their rooms and the quality of the linen etc. Nice touches like coffee and tea in rooms and toiletries. Also the little things like dishwasher tabs, salt and pepper, toilet rolls! Great selection of games and loved the hot tub!
Couldn't do anything about the weather and would have been great to spend more time outside but had a fabulous time.
Cannot fault it.




Amy replied more than 1 year ago
Thank you for reviewing your stay. We are glad you enjoyed your time in the barn despite the weather and appreciated the finishing touches too. Hopefully, if you come again you will be able to appreciate the views over a BBQ!

We have just returned from the most amazing weekend in Penblaith Barn. We were a party of 18, ranging in age from 4 - 76 and a great time was had by all. The location is idyllic with far reaching countryside views, the property is spacious, characterful, immaculate and has everything you could possibly need in terms of kitchen equipment, crockery, etc. We all loved the hot tub and games room, and because the weather was beautiful all weekend long we spent most of it outside enjoying the facilities. The only downside was that we had to leave! I would highly recommend this property, and hope we get to return some time soon.

This was our 2nd stay at Penblaith with our children and grandchildren. The accommodation is perfect for large numbers - We are 9 adults and 7 children. We will hope to return next year, there is so much to do in the area and the Barn has excellent facilities. We have also stayed at Trevase on two previous occasions. Both properties are excellent.

We were a group of 18 ladies staying at Penblaith for a hen do. The barn is beautifully converted with plenty of space and attention to detail. The rooms (all double/twin with en suite bathrooms) were clean and nicely presented with high quality linen and towels. The communal areas were large and we especially appreciated the big dining table which easily seated all 18 of us. The kitchen was well equipped and we were supplied with a nice starter pack. The hot tub and games room had plenty of use and the surrounding gardens were spacious and well presented. Liz (the owner) came to greet us and was very accommodating. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

The barn was beautiful! Only problem for us was carpet in the disabled room, would have been easier with a hard floor to move the mobile hoist also a metal bed to get hoist underneath the bed and therefore not needing to use bed raisers! Finally a moveable shower door to give more room for mobile hoist in the bathroom! Other than this the barn is amazing!

We had very high expectations from viewing the photos and the information contained on the website. Our expectations were more than exceeded, the attention to detail, the cleanliness and the facilities were fantastic. There was everything that we could have needed which made for a very relaxing stay. A great find and a real credit to the owners. We look forward to staying again. I can also recommend The Lough Pool for Sunday Lunch, we had a lovely meal in a beautiful setting.

We are an extended family group of 18 people, aged from 2 to 93 years, and this was our second stay at Penblaith Barn, for our annual pre-Christmas gathering. We'd loved Penblaith so much last year that we re-booked for this year, and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves (again). Though the weather wasn't great, it didn't matter at all because we had fun in the games room and in the outdoor hot-tub. We were snug and warm throughout our visit, and loved the Christmas decorations. Everything one could ask for was there: extremely comfortable beds, spacious bedrooms, beautiful décor, excellent cooking facilities, two lounges big enough for family activities and lovely views all around. The Pursey family are very helpful and prompt if questions arise, and the Monday morning housekeeping team were lovely too! We say 'thanks a million' to Liz and Amy for a wonderful and memorable 3-night stay.

This is my 6th time staying at Penblaith barn, we come every 6 months for a craft retreat weekend because it is PERFECT for our needs.
Liz is always very helpful and accommodating, it's like coming home and seeing an old friend every time we stay. The house is always in excellent condition and it's so easy to make yourself at home here, I wouldn't keep coming back if this wasn't the case.
See you in May!!

We have an annual get away every November with a group of adults ranging from 12 - 18 couples aged between 30-65. We like our home comforts, so things like on-suite bathrooms are a must have, we love either a hot tub or heated pool or both. When we booked Penblaith Barn 8 on-suite bathrooms and a hot tub we hoped we'd have a good time.

I can confirm we had a brilliant time the house is fantastic, spacious, warm and comfy, plenty of just about everything needed. We hired caters listed on Penblaith Catering list called Catherine and Paul Smith and OMG they did us proud! They could not have been more accommodating if they tried, they delivered 110% perfection on a plate. The only down side we said was there was too much food that was too good to leave... we had pre-dinner nibbles, then a 4 course meal and every single mouthful was beautifully presented and very very tasty.

WOULD RECOMMEND HANDS DOWN.

16 family and friends had an excellent week, the facilities at the barn were perfect for all ages, the hot tub was the star of the show. Everyone was happy with their bedrooms, all unique, some quirky, some more spacious than others, but still more than enough room in all of them.Plenty of comfortable living space and the kitchens have all the equipment necessary for catering for 16.

My family and myself had a fantastic mid week holiday to celebrate my 70th birthday. The age range was 4 years to me, and there was something for everyone. Everything in the house was top class - it just couldn't have been better. We absolutely loved it, and were very sad when it was over. We will always remember our time at Penblaith Barn. Thank you.

Beautiful, impressive, stylish and spacious barn. Very comfortable and extremely well equipped with lots of thoughtful extras. Great to have every bedroom en suite. Very comfy beds with high quality bed linen. Hair driers, TV and tea and coffee making facilities in every bedroom. Lovely big dining table we could all sit round and very good kitchen with three dishwashers. Good to have two lounges, both with lovely comfy sofas. Really enjoyed the games room, the hot tub and all the space outside. Great views and peaceful location. Very pleasant , friendly,helpful and efficient owners. Would love to return.

We stayed at Penblaith Barn recently for my hen weekend and had an amazing time. There were 15 of us in total and there was more than enough space - the bedrooms are all a good size and there is definitely more than sufficient living space downstairs! The Barn was very clean and has all the facilities you could ask for - the hot tub is great! The outside area would be wonderful in the summer and the views from the property are stunning. Everyone agreed that it was by far the best place they had stayed!



Amy and Liz replied more than 1 year ago
We're so pleased you enjoyed your hen weekend at Penblaith Barn and that everyone enjoyed the facilities- the hot tub is always a winner, many an hour can be spent in there taking in the views and chatting away! Glad you enjoyed the Moon at Garway, it is one of our favourites. We wish you a wonderful wedding day and blissful honeymoon. All the very best.

There are almost too many things to do and visit in the area and some excellent pubs and restaurants too. We had great weather but the added bonus of a games room for wet days was a good backup plan to have available.

Thank you, Kate. We are really pleased you made the most of your week exploring the area and experiencing some of our 'gems'. We hope you will come back again to enjoy some more of them in the near future.

There was a group of 17 family and friends that stayed at the barn, everyone was impressed with their rooms, the set up, the décor etc. The house was perfect for all our needs and had so much space people could go off if they wanted some peace and quite.

The hot tub is a perfect extra and much time was spent in here. We were very lucky to have glorious weather for our entire stay so we made the most of the outside seating and of course the most amazing views.

This same group of family and friends also stayed at Trevase Granary around 3 years ago and everyone said they would not look any further than these 2 properties if they were looking to hire a large house for an occasion.

Im sure we will all be back at some point, very well done to the owners, they thought of everything!



Liz and Amy replied more than 1 year ago
Thank you so much for writing a review for your stay, Cheryl. We are so pleased you all had a great time and a bonus that you had good weather so could make the most of the views and outdoor facilities. We hope to see you all again in the near future. All the best.

Amy and Liz are absolutely lovely and really helped make our stay fantastic (and thanks for our card!). The website is excellent and filled with helpful info for making your stay extra special. Nobody wanted to leave and we are already trying to think of an excuse to come back!

Many congratulations again! We are so pleased your weekend went as planned and feel privileged to provide the venue for your special day. It would be lovely to have you back, an anniversary would be the perfect excuse! All the very best.

We have returned ever year since the Barn first opened and every year we can't find fault. its an exceptional property in exceptional countryside. Spacious with lovely furniture and works of art add interest and add a homely feeling.

Just got back from a fab holiday and have already booked for next year.

There is plenty to do and see locally and many places to eat.

When small maintenance problems arise - they are dealt with immediately by Friendly Liz the Owner or her sidekick lovely Amy



Liz and Amy replied more than 1 year ago
Thank you for your complimentary and kind words. It is always a pleasure to have you all back, hopefully it feels like home away from home! Great that you have seen so much of the area and continue to find some of Herefordshire's hidden gems! See you next year!

A problem arose with the hot water but Liz fixed this immediately. As the top floor bedrooms were very hot the availability of some fans would have been appreciated. However, everything else enables guests to have a wonderful time at this barn.



Liz and Amy replied more than 1 year ago
Thank you for your review. We will look into getting some fans as on the rare occasion that there is no breeze on a hot and humid night we can see that a fan would be a welcome addition. We're really pleased you enjoyed the property so much. All the best.

We stayed at Penblaith Barn in June for my sisters hen party, well what a fantastic weekend! Stunning location, beautiful accommodation and so well equipped with everything we could possible need for the weekend and more! The information on the Trevase cottages website regarding local activities and services was brilliant and very helpful. Will definitely be visiting again! Thank you.

Thank you so much for your review and for sharing some great photographs on our facebook page too! We are really pleased you enjoyed your time at Penblaith and that it all went well.

Penblaith met the very high standards we previously enjoyed at Trevase. We had a brilliant family holiday. Everyone (12 of us) said that they would like to go again. The accommodation was excellent and the location allowed us to explore the area - we had some great trips out.

We used the house for a hen do and had a great time. Taxis were expensive to Hereford and Ross on Wye but the facilities within the house were spot on. We spent the majority of our time in the dinning area therefore had the lounge and dinning room been one room it would have suited our group better rather than using the lounge as a corridor only. Would highly recommend penblaith



Amy and Liz replied more than 1 year ago
Thank you for taking time to comment on your stay; so pleased you had a good time. A cheaper option would have been a prebooked minibus around the area, there are various options on our links page. If there is a next time perhaps you could try Trevase Granary if you like a lounge and dining area all in one space. We hope you all have a fantastic time at the upcoming wedding! All the best.

The accommodation was excellent and the games room, grass playing field and hot tub were very popular.

Also, the surrounding area was ideal for different things to do, appealing to all ages.

14 of us stayed in Penblaith Barn for my husband's 40th birthday. The accommodation was beautiful and everyone was very pleased with the property. We had everything we could have needed including 3 dishwashers, several fridges and even a wine cooler. The views from the master bedroom were beautiful and the surrounding countryside was stunning.

The hot tub was a welcome addition, and much appreciated by all. We went cycling in the forest of dean on the Saturday. This was about 40 minutes away by car, but well worth doing. We also went into Hereford on the Saturday night ( If you are booking taxis you are best booking them the night before, particularly if you need 7 seaters as the local taxi services don't have 7 seaters)

All in all this place was great and we had a thoroughly good weekend. The only small comment i would make is that some of the rooms had baths rather than showers. There were shower heads attached to the baths, but if people in these rooms wanted a shower they had to use one in another room. Other than that, this place was a great find.



Amy and Liz Pursey replied more than 1 year ago
Thank you for your feedback. We are so glad you enjoyed your time at Penblaith. A good tip about the taxis- always best to book in advance and we have just come across an excellent private minibus firm which is now in our links section http://www.trevasecottages.co.uk/links.cfm?Category=Travel. In April we will be replacing one of the baths in the second floor rooms with a shower but yes, everyone has their own preferences so it is tricky! On the other hand with three of the en-suites having baths and showers they are a bit spoiled for choice! All the very best.

One of the best places we've stayed in for our 18th annual Christmas family gathering of 18 people, this year's ages being between 1 year and 92 years old. The house is gorgeous, with every possible useful amenity, and lovely little gifts left for us, everywhere warm upon arrival, with lots of hot water. The children loved playing outside in the beautiful grounds. We all enjoyed our pre-sunrise and moonlit dips outdoors in the jacuzzi whilst the frost sparkled on the gardens! Liz went the extra mile with help as regards shopping and deliveries, especially helpful following our accident en-route. We're looking forward to our next visit.



Amy and Liz replied more than 1 year ago
Thank you very much for your complimentary comments. We are really pleased that you all arrived safely and made the most of your weekend. I hope you had some clear night skies to look up to from the hot tub as we can see the stars brilliantly from around here. We will look forward to seeing you again. All the best.

After 29 years of going away to a country house in UK with friends we have to say this was THE BEST house ever. Even better than Trevase Granery, and that one is pretty amazing too, being Liz's other property which we stayed in 3 years ago and which is why we came back to the area. Everything about Penblaith house is super from the size of the rooms, all ensuite & with loads of hot water; the way the house is presented & decorated with homely touches; the views over rolling countryside & horses; well equipped kitchen and fab hot tub.

What makes it even more special is Liz's attention and care. She was there to welcome us and give us a super basket of goodies and when one of the dishwashers stopped working on 30th Dec she had a new one installed by that afternoon - that's real service !

We loved it all and just wish Liz would have houses all over the country as we do like to move around. But we will be back one day as it was so good and we also love the area with so many nice walks and interesting places to visit.

This was my third time back to Penblaith barn in 2 years so I would think that speaks volumes itself! I have taken 2 separate crafting groups there and both have loved it. It's spacious, even for 16 well loaded crafters and stash. It's comfortable and definitely home from home. Liz couldn't be more helpful, and we are already discussing our dates for next year.
Thanks for another awesome girly weekend away, see you soon!
