Set high in the valley of Longtown enjoying panoramic views across the patchwork fields and rolling hills, this cosy barn is an ideal bolthole for a country escape, showcasing historic exposed beams alongside comfortable modern touches. Follow the stream out of the garden and walk up onto Hatterrall Ridge to enjoy the breath taking views of the Black Mountains and the romantic ruins of Llanthony Priory nestled in the Vale of Ewyas. Alternatively enjoy looking up at Hatterrall from your secluded hot tub or luxurious covered seating area amongst the wildflowers with the stream running alongside.
