Ferny Retreat - Romantic barn conversion, Hay-On-Wye
Set within a peaceful barn conversion with wide, open views across fields and woodland, Ferny is a lovely spot for two to slow down and spend some quality time together. Whether you're celebrating something special or just fancy a quiet countryside break, it's an easy place to switch off, with the option to make your stay extra special thanks to complimentary access to a stunning heated indoor pool with views across the distant undulating hills. With private access, you can fully unwind with a massage or facial beside the pool, turning your couple's getaway into a relaxing spa escape.
Spread across the first floor, Ferny is blessed with uninterrupted countryside views, where trees sway in the gentle breeze and sheep graze peacefully on the distant hillside. The bright, stylish interior and high-quality furnishings create a cosy, welcoming space where couples can relax together. Sink into the super-king size bed after a busy day exploring the countryside and enjoy slow mornings with freshly brewed coffee in bed. A well-appointed kitchen with dining area is ideal for easy meals at home - prepared with fresh local produce and artisan delicacies sourced from the area's excellent farm shops. A comfy sofa and Smart TV make will tempt you to spend a quiet evening in.
Step outside onto your private balcony and soak in the peaceful surroundings - the perfect spot for a glass of wine as the sun goes down. In the warmer months you can sit and watch the cows from the neighbouring farm graze in the field directly below, their playful calves following behind - a quintessential country escape.

Points of Note Book with us to get exclusive discounts to top attractions and experiences.
