About the home

Cwmhir Court is an ancient site with Iron Age remains and surviving Medieval and Georgian structures. A fortified Cistercian monastic grange was built here in the thirteenth century and the main stone arched entrance, some of the defensive walls and listed ancient monastic buildings survive.

The Great Hay Barn is poised in a beautiful spot at the valley’s edge, with the open wilds of Wales on one side and all the facilities of the pretty market town of Hay-on-Wye on the other. There are wonderful views of The Black Mountains and to the rear the woods rise up to the Radnor Hills. It is peaceful without being remote.

The Great Hay Barn has been restored to a high standard by experienced craftsmen, using locally sourced stone, oak and lime mortar. The Great Hay Barn has a three storey central entertaining space, fifty feet long with stone flags, oak boarding and a large wood stove. All the rooms are painted in lime white with huge twisted oak beams and traditionally pegged oak framing. Arrow-slit windows with simple oak shutters light the main hall. Outside there is an undercover table tennis area. An efficient heating system has been installed so even the largest spaces remain cosy and warm. In the summer the big double doors can be opened so that it remains light and airy . The gardens surrounding the barns provide large level lawns for games or sitting out.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
The Great Hay barn sleeps 12 people in six double rooms, one of which is a twin bedroom. There is also ancillary accommodation in the converted grain silos and a cloister leads to a magnificent Medieval barn which provides stunning additional accommodation for large groups (up to 30 people). Please contact us for further details.

The dining room at The Great Hay Barn can seat up to 24 people (although can be adapted to seat up to 30) and the large kitchen can seat 14. All rooms have heavy oak beams and oak floors. The reception areas lead onto lawns and gardens with fabulous views of the Black Mountains. The overall feeling is of great space and light with many quiet areas to retire to.

Up a few steps from this area is the triple-height sitting room, with oak and stone floors, a big wood stove and comfy sofas with colourful rugs and cushions. This area is ideal for large celebrations or birthdays. Looking down on this space is the big oak balcony with soft sofas, t.v. and library. From this first-floor level, double doors open onto the spectacular view of the mountains. The whole of the ground-floor western wing is given over to the heavy oak-beamed and spacious kitchen, with its separate utility room. It has stone floors with a fully-equipped beech-wood kitchen, electric double oven with gas hob, American fridge and dishwasher.There is a barbecue.

For larger games, a paddock is available next to The Great Hay Barn.

“A great barn but very poor customer service” We had a pleasant stay at the barn for my father's 70th birthday but this was marred by the difficulty getting our deposit back from the owners. A crack in a window appeared during our stay which we did not cause, but the owners insisted the cost of repair be deducted from our deposit. They proceeded to ignore several emails and voicemails we sent to get the matter resolved and held onto our money for 4 weeks which is unacceptable commercial behaviour.
