OUR RELAXING GETAWAY


At the beginning of September my boyfriend & I went on holiday. We booked it back in March and were looking for a cosy little retreat in a rural location. I searched and searched and came across The Barn at Glanoer on a site called Sykes cottages. 

It's between Llandrindod Wells and Builth Wells in mid Wales, about 2 miles from the rural village of Hundred House. The drive was around 2 hours from where we live and the further we drove the more rural it got. The final road we turned down took us 8 miles down a narrow country lane where we didn't see a soul, never mind another house or sign of civilisation. It was perfect.

Upon our arrival we were greeted by the lovely owners and their dogs. We were shown around the cottage and left to explore. It completely exceeded every expectation we had. The barn is beautifully designed and decorated, and every detail has been thought of. There was a lovely breakfast hamper and fresh flowers on the table, bacon in the fridge and lots of information on things in and around the local area.

The Barn is situated within 8 acres of land, the land was ours to explore and was covered in nature. It was completely silent for miles around and the air felt so fresh. We had no phone signal and the wifi wasn't the best, we loved this though as we completely lost sense of time and the world around us. 

The Barn itself was so comfortable and we instantly felt at home, the bed was the comfiest I have ever slept in and the bath was amazing. The window is what makes The Barn so amazing, it gives it such a light feel and adds to the relaxation. It was perfect to lie in bed with my morning coffee and watch the wildlife. 

We had a wonderfully relaxing week and came back feeling totally refreshed. We had no sense of time of the whole week and felt millions of miles away from the real world. It's a gem of a place and I'm so glad we found it. I would return time & time again and recommend to anybody!
