"Stayed for 3 nights with a group of friends and we all loved it."
The barn has a lovely lounge area for socialising and a kitchen with plenty of pots, pans, trays etc. The bedrooms are a good size and plenty warm enough despite it being January. My only criticism is the lack of locks on the bathroom doors but we would still love to come back in the summer to make the most of the garden!
Thank you for your kind review. Oops locks on door. Always an issue, but, a bigger issue if children or adults with motor impairment are unable to unlock the door from the inside, i suggest rolling a towel by the door or singing very loudly preferably out of tune, that should gain a few moments! We are looking at child/ elderly friendly bathroom locks Property Owner

"Such a lovely spacious homely barn, just perfect for my grown up children ..."
Such a lovely spacious homely barn, just perfect for my grown up children partners and grandchildren to stay for a early Christmas celebration, jane was very accommodating and put a Christmas
Thank you for your lovely review. Christmas celebrated with family on the day or one that suits the extended family is such fun, when you have a quaint, spacious barn to share it all with it can be so special. We are very lucky to have a very good neighbour that provides our annual Christmas Tree. The lovely ladies that clean are quite happy to down tools and decorate the tree, but you did it proud this year. We so look forward to your return booking Property Owner

The property
Tucked away in Gilwern, Abergavenny, is this superb four-bedroom, 17th-century barn conversion, Maes Y Berllan Barn.
Enjoying a fantastic location surrounded by the Black Mountains and within the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (Brecon Beacons National Park), as well as an interior filled with original features including exposed beams and vaulted ceilings, Maes Y Berllan Barn is a wonderful, family-friendly dwelling sleeping ten, plus their two canine companions, who are looking to escape to this beautiful region.
Step into the spacious and well-equipped kitchen/diner, where you can look forward to rustling up delicious feasts for your loved ones, with the help of the Rangemaster with electric oven and hob, microwave, 60/40 fridge/freezer, as well as a handy dishwasher and washing machine for keeping your space tidy.
Serve up a flavourful meal at the dining table for ten in the living/dining room, or if the weather is nice, why not fire up the barbecue in the large, enclosed garden and dine alfresco?
As the evening cools, retreat to the sitting room, where you can relax on the variety of plush sofas, two of which are sofa beds for accommodating four additional guests, whilst enjoying a family movie night courtesy of the Smart TV, as the wood burning stove crackles nearby.
A tumble dryer can be found in the laundry/drying room for your convenience.
Completing the ground floor is a super-king-size bedroom with zip/link beds, served by a wet room shower with disabled access, ideal for those with limited mobility.
Climb the stairs to the first floor, where you will find a gallery with two armchairs, a perfect spot for escaping with a good book.
