White Haywood Farmhouse

No proper tv only Amazon so that was awful Not enough space to sit in the kitchen bad storage of things in the kitchen Terrible sofas in the living room Tiny tv in living room and massive one in a bedroom so no sense to that Awful smelly flowers which we had to put outside Dog poo left on lawn which we cleared up on last day or we thought we would be in trouble but it wasn’t ours Too many instructions on tidying up on leaving We had a nice time but wouldn’t come back

The farm is a unique combination of quirky old-world charm and modern comfort, stunning views, excellent comfort.

It is newly-renovated, and we loved the location in the Black Mountains, from where we climbed the Cat’s Back, explored the bookshops of Hay-on-Wye. I thoroughly recommend it and give it 5/5

We spent a very pleasant few days at White Haywood Farm.

Glorious sunshine and an amazing location. So tranquil. Lots of al fresco dining with family and friends.  Very memorable, I’ll definitely be back. Bulls Head pub up the road was first rate. Excellent food. Landscape is magnificent

A Great Week in the Black Mountains.

I spent a wonderful week at White Haywood Farmhouse from 12th-19th December, and it exceeded expectations. As a solo traveller, I was initially concerned the property might feel too large, but it was perfect, cosy, characterful, and exactly what I needed for a peaceful escape. The farmhouse itself is stunning. The 16th-century beams and original features create warmth and character, and the woodburning stove was my evening companion after long days exploring. The kitchen had everything I needed to cook my meals, which I enjoyed at the breakfast bar while gazing out at the mountain views. The farm was extremely clean and everything worked perfectly, from the heating to the WiFi. The hot tub was a real plus there's something magical about soaking under the December stars with the Black Hill silhouetted against the winter sky. Pure bliss after a day's walking. Location-wise, it's pretty good. I made day trips to both Hay-on-Wye (charming bookshops, perfect for a rainy afternoon) and Abergavenny (fantastic market and cafes), both easily accessible. The real adventure was tackling Pen-y-Fan, it's a drive to get there but a rewarding hike. The December weather was crisp and clear, and the views were breathtaking. I found the village shop at Longtown a real boon for local snacks, and the Bull's Head in Craswall, on the same road as the Farm, has an amazing restaurant and an amazing cider called Gasping Goose. Having direct access to the Cat's Back from the back door was handy. I did a couple of walks straight from the property without needing to drive anywhere. I can definitely recommend White Haywood Farmhouse as a peaceful, characterful base to explore this stunning part of the country.

Was lucky enough to have stayed at White Haywood Farm earlier this Spring and couldn’t resist going back for a second bite the following month.

" Perfectly located in an elevated position, the Black Mountains and Brecon Beacons can be accessed direct from the property for those who fancy donning walking boots and exercising limbs……and a rather splendid, generous family sized hot tub awaits those who return looking for a good hot soak, whilst enjoying unfettered views looking down over the valley (through which the River Monnow runs) – and, in my case, accompanied by a large glass of something. Accessed via a long private drive and newly renovated with all the mod cons one would expect, the provision of Wi Fi, with excellent signal, is there for those that need to remain in touch with distant offices or are working from home. Can whole heartedly recommend the property to anyone who is after some genuine P & Q.

The property was fantastic and well maintained we all had a great time including our dogs, Would not recommend the farm house to anyone 6ft plus due to the lovely traditional low farm house ceilings.

The house keeper was quick to support some small issues we had and thank her greatly, But Sykes I rang repeatedly on the 2nd and morning of the 3 rd aswell as emailed about key code etc to never have an answer or response! Glad the house keeper answered ! Would recommend the houses again great walks and villages

We booked for a big birthday celebration for 20 people and we had a wonderful week!

The barn is perfect to accommodate a large party for meals etc but having the farmhouse as well meant there was lots of spaces for people to use at different times. The location is wonderful with beautiful views and lots of birds for the birdwatchers in our party! Some lovely pubs nearby and close to Hay, Hereford for trips out. The farm shop is very handy too and has pretty much everything you might need. We ended up staying during one of the hottest weeks of the year and the owners were very attentive and made sure we were all OK. I would definitely stay there again!

Had a super family stay in both barn and farmhouse.

Owner and housekeeper were lovely and ever so helpful. The farmhouse is quirky and beautiful, but has very low ceilings - watch out anyone over 5’4”! The barn is spacious and bright. Beds were comfy and bathrooms clean. Lovely peaceful location and great views. Only downsides were lack of outdoor space near the barn, such as a lawn (but the outdoor seating and hot tubs were nice) and the fact that you couldn’t walk anywhere from the property itself- the footpaths were closed and the roads are so narrow that walking with the dog on them felt unsafe. We had to drive and park to go for a walk. However, despite these points we had a lovely time and the accommodation was great and we would recommend it to others.
