Great Escape Farm Reviews

Pauline

Beautiful property, so cosy with gorgeous views

Mary

This is a wonderful place to stay. It delivered exactly what we wanted: a stunning landscape in a remote location, with all the comforts of home. We walked among the hills, relaxed in the hot tub, and shopped for books and local produce in nearby Hay on Wye. It's a really special place, and we're planning to return next year.

Saryo

We had 8 adults, 3 children and 2 dogs staying in both of the cottages. Both were fully equipped, the owners also had thought of all the little things especially with recycling. Both cottages were v clean and plenty of wood for the fires for the duration of our stay. The view from the hot tub was spectacular. This is just the place to forget the stRead moreresses and strains and just relax. Would Definitely recommend it to all our friends. Hide

Suzanne

It was all completely beautiful.

Caroline

These beautifully converted buildings are comfortable and warm, with a lovely view and super hot-tub, but our experience would have been better if more thought had been put into the day to day practicalities of living in a remote environment.

Russell

Fantastic house with great facilities and amazing views, perfect escape in a wonderful and remote location.

Hollie

We stayed in this property as a group of 8 and it was glorious. The views are outstanding, the property is stunning and the hot tub is of course great fun. Excellent walks nearby and the beautiful town of Hay on Wye a 20 minute drive away/1.5 hour walk. We had an amazing time staying here!
