An absolute gem! This wonderful converted barn delivered on every level - amazing hosts, well equipped kitchen, utterly stunning views! So much to do and see in the surrounding areas: Tintern Abbey (magical), Gloucester (the cathedral is inspiring), Hereford (cathedral and more), and many local towns and villages to explore. Loved our two week trip and would highly recommend!

Beautiful property with stunning view. Gorgeous, well-equipped and spacious kitchen. Incredibly peaceful, yet within reach of a wide range of interesting places to visit. Do check that the host knows if you’re bringing a dog as he will make sure the garden is extra-secure.

Wonderful barn

We loved our stay at Hopewell Barn. The barn itself was spacious and very clean and had everything we needed. We loved the kitchen in particular, the view is spectacular! Our children also enjoyed visiting the sheep in the neighbouring field! We would love to return in the future.

Clean and spacious accommodation. Need a car as the barn is located on a hill and public transport is a couple of miles away. Plenty of pleasant walks in the vicinity but it is loated on a hillside.

Perfect for Views and Walking

The barn is a great location for scenery and walking. Walks are in easy reach with out having to drive away from the barn. The valley, which the barn overlooks, is beautiful and full of birdsong. The barn is fully equipped for a comfortable stay, spacious, clean and well maintained. The kitchen is huge. The host is friendly, helpful and welcoming and the location is peaceful and undisturbed. We will certainly return.

Fabulous week away!

A stunning and comfortable property which we used as a good base to explore the local attractions. The roads leading to and from the house are very much single track roads (although aren't overly busy so it's not much of an issue but be warned, they are very tight!) and the tv signal isn't great (neither is the wifi within the far reaches of the house) but whilst this is useful to be aware of, none of it detracts from what is a brilliant place to stay. Great communication from the owner. Gorgeous views. Peaceful. Spacious and well decorated. We had a great week and were all sad to leave. The only suggestion I have which I think could have improved pur experience would have been a small welcome hamper on arrival. We arrived quite late (our fault due to work commitments) and ended up having to go to Tesco about 23:30 to get some bits and pieces in, so just a little something with some basic local produce would have been much appreciated.

Hopewell Barn liegt wunderbar am Hang. Die Aussicht ist toll und es ist absolut ruhig. Das Haus ist sehr wohnlich eingerichtet. Es gibt drei Sofas zum Entspannen. Die Küche ist ein Traum: groß und hell. Kochen mit Aussicht. Die Bäder sind hell und modern. Die Lage ist sehr gut, um sowohl Südwales, als auch Gloucstershire zu erkunden. Immer wieder gerne.

Urlaub mit toller Aussicht

Sehr freundlicher Eigentümer, welcher etwa 400m Luftlinie entfernt wohn und an den man sich mit allen Fragen jederzeit wenden kann. Seine Schafe stehen auf dem umliegenden Feld. Die Einrichtung des Hauses war absolut 5Sterne und besonders gilt hier die Lage, Lage, Lage. Grandiose Sicht, Ruhe und Freiheit. Die Anfahrt ist sehr eng und etwas steil aber gut mit einem Kleinbus zu schaffen. Wir haben die Tage in dieser wunderschönen Umgebung genossen!

Lovely Barn in beautiful location

The photographs of this barn don’t do it justice - it’s very impressive. The kitchen, which is one whole small barn is really stunning with wonderful views across the valley. The seating area is very comfortable. The two upstairs bedrooms are small but adequate and well furnished. We very much enjoyed our stay.

Great barn in a great location

The barn is great. It is very well equipped, the kitchen is excellent with an outstanding view across the valley. The barn is perfectly located, with so much to see and do within half an hour’s drive. There are walks everywhere into amazing scenery. This was our first experience of the Wye Valley and if certainly will not be the last.

Wonderful hidden gem

Hope we’ll Barn was a delightful experience. The description and pictures do not do it justice. It’s a truely relaxing place. All that’s missing is some spa music and insense. The house is beautifully laid out and located near lots of great country walks. It’s remote but also close enough to enjoy activities and do a bit of shopping. Views are breathtaking. We will definitely be back. Johnathan was a great host and although we didn’t call on his assistance much at all you know he’s there with local knowledge and support. He even moved the sheep out of the next door field so our dog could have a proper run around. He checked up on us during storm Dudley and Eunice when we had a power cut. Could boy fault this place. Facilities in the house are all you need and is so warm and cosy for that relaxing getaway.

About the host

Hosted by Jonathan Cockburn

Host profile image
We have lived in the Wye Valley for over 35 years. 12 years ago we converted our old barn into a fabulous holiday home. We only live four fields away, so if you need us, we can come and help out at a moment's notice; but we will not be breathing down your neck either! We have three children, but they have all left home now. We still have a small flock of friendly sheep, which you may see from time to time in one of the fields next to the barn.

Why they chose this property

Hopewell Barn is located in an officially designated area of outstanding natural beauty. One of the reasons why we decided to convert our old barn was because it has such brilliant views across the valley. The Wye valley is fabulous for walking, cycling, canoeing and riding and there is alot to explore and see in this area. The local walks are all superb and there is a very popular community run Village Shop only half a mile down our lane. This is the place to visit if you are looking for a rural retreat on the edge of the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley. Also, although it is in a peaceful area, this part of the Wye valley has good links to the motorway network so it's relatively easy to get to.

What makes this property unique

Hopewell Barn is a place to come to recharge your batteries; so by the time you leave you will feel completely relaxed and ready to take on the world again. The barn has lots of windows and skylights so is always bright and cheerful no matter what the weather and if you don't feel like going for a walk you can always stay in and snuggle up by the wood burning stove and enjoy the views with a warm drink in your hand!
