Barlings Barn nestles in a glorious and blissfully quiet, south-facing position, high in the beautiful Mid Wales hills. We just fell in love when we found Barlings 28 years ago. It needed lots of TLC but we've showered it with that over the years and have hosted so many wonderful celebrations here: 21st, 30th, 40, 50th, 60th, 70th, 80th, even 90th birthdays!!, Golden/Silver weddings,Hen/Stag weekends, Christmas (and not just in December!) college and school reunions or just friends and family who want to holiday and spend time together with their loved ones away from the busy-ness of the world outside.

Fantastic activities available locally; salmon/trout/sea fishing, golf, horse-riding, badger and bird watching (red kite country), fabulous unspoilt and uncrowded sandy beaches, sailing, mountain climbing, quad biking, clay pigeon shooting, breath-taking walks, mountain biking around the lakes, Centre Alternative Technology, white water rafting, plus the glorious Welsh history/arts/crafts and culture in this beautiful land of song. For over 26 years Barlings Barn has offered the ultimate escape for guests, many of whom return time, after time, after time. Compimentary home-made cake awaits your arrival!

Further details outdoors:
Glorious countryside setting and fantastic views. Barlings Barn nestles, at the end of its own private lane, high in the unspoilt and uncrowded mid Wales hills in beautiful mature over-stuffed cottage gardens and wildflower-strewn grounds. Roses and honeysuckle clamber and tumble over ancient tree stumps.

There are many dingles, nooks and crannies to relax and sunbathe in whilst enjoying the beauty in peace and quiet - sometimes you can just hear the beat of the bird's wings in flight or a sheep cough in the adjoining fields. 21st Century noise and pollution seems a million miles away. Fabulous for star-gazing - no light pollution.

You can paddle in the gurgling streams that potter through the magical tranquil 20 acre woodland where bluebells, primroses and violets bloom (owls, woodpeckers, buzzards, squirrels and myriad small birds nest there). Swathes of buttercups, daisies, wild orchids carpet the paddock whilst leaving room for riotous games of cricket/rounders/football plus family ‘It’s a Knockout’ competitions. Summer house ‘pavillion’ in elevated position with outstanding valley vista

Enjoy mud stew and grass soup in ‘Buttercup Cottage’ the cute little Wendy house - just for the little ones - tucked into the paddock by the Gazebo, barbecue and waterfall.

Many strategically placed picnic tables throughout the grounds are perfect for alfresco dining either by sun or candlelight.

Unwind further by hunkering down on the leafy forest floor for a spot of twilight badger watching.

The Powys / Brecon Beacons / Powys region

This really is a lovely area, and although blissfully quiet there are lots of places to explore and many activities available locally; riding, walking, fishing, clay pigeon shooting, quad bikes, bird and badger watching, sailing, mountain biking around the lakes, golf, great beaches, Cader Idris, and places of natural beauty and historic interest to visit. Plus, of course, the superb facilities we offer at Barlings Barn! You might also care to visit www.foc.org.uk http://www.dyfivalley.org.uk http://www.gomidwales.co.uk and http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/mid/listings which offer further useful information about the area

The Llanbrynmair / Pandy area

Llanbrynmair (English translation is St. Mary's church on the Hill) is a tiny village with the friendly community dotted around the surrounding hills, in Powys, Mid Wales on the A470 road between Caersws and Machynlleth. 11th C church still proudly stands at a short distance on the hill in Llan.

Llanbrynmair has a very welcoming pub (very good selection of beer), village shop (free range eggs, etc., orders taken that can be delivered to the door), ‘Machinations’ (fascinating collection of automata, coffee shop and rabbit kingdom. Also the home of internationally renowned artist Terence Lambert.

Local attractions include arts and crafts in the village with the world famous Centre for Alternative Technology a short drive away. At various times throughout the year there are stunning choral recitals, Eisteddfodau, village shows, sheepdog trials and the annual international Gregynog Music festival.

Fabulous walks to the source of River Severn high in the Hafren Forest, in the hills at the end of our valley. This is a wonderful area for pottering and exploring the small local towns of Llanidloes - http://www.llanidloes.com/ - museum of local history and industry, ancient market hall, where John Wesley preached and historic Machynlleth - visit Owain Glydwr's breakaway parliament building, craft shops and local silver smith, organic whole-food cafe linked to C.A.T., amazing lantern and artistic fireworks display late in year.

Stunning Autumn colours in the ancient oak and beech forests in this area rival New England to my mind. Glacial lakes and gorges, 3,000 year-old standing stones, castles of Kings and Marcher Lords and the Roman influence plus the connections to King Arthur add to the wonderful atmosphere.

Barlings Barn is located along the honeysuckle strewn lanes, two miles from Llanbrynmair viilage and ony 35 minutes by car from the golden sand-dunes and huge beach at Aberdovey with tiny fishing harbour (Aberdovey crab is scrummy) award winning restaurants, pub and a scattering of fascinating shops.

By car, approximately 2 hours from Birmingham, Liverpool and Manchester, 3 1/2 hours from London, well served by motorway and 'A' road network. Local roads generally uncrowded and pleasant. Regular train service on the Aberystwyth line to Caersws or Machynlleth stations (either is 12 miles away).

We always send detailed instructions to all our lovely guests prior to arrival as 'tom tom' ends down the lane at my friend Sally's house!!!!! With the instructions the journey should be fairly stress free. We are always happy to help you plan your personalised route as we have done a lot of travelling up and down the country to see friends and relations!
