Eleri’s Barn 4.8/5

Lovely 4 night stay. The barn conversion was big enough for four adults to stay comfortably. The weather was superb so we spent most of the time outside on the patio. It would’ve been nice if the garden was just a bit deeper so as we could get the sun in the evening as it was always in the shade. The only real criticism is that the property was listed as having a small freezer compartment in the fridge but there wasn’t one. Other than that, no complaints well kitted out for a short stay.

Fantastic barn. 5/5

We stayed at Eleris Barn for my husbands birthday and it ticked all of the boxes! Parking right by the door, a safe enclosed garden for our dog. Fabulous hot tub and the barn itself was beautiful, spotless and somewhere to unwind after alot of walking at the nearby Elan Valley. Its a great location for getting out and about, Overall we would highly highly recommend. We are already looking to return. Thank you for a great stay!!!

Excellent barn handy for the Elan Valley 5/5

Excellent barn with great views from the hot tub. The only thing missing is a freezer department in the fridge. Very comfy beds. Loved the hot tub. Had one evening when could see thousands of stars. Would certainly stay here & recommend if visiting this area again.

Dream vacation! 5/5

Eleri’s Barn was absolutely beautiful! Excellent standard, especially being dog friendly. Comfy and cosy, if anything a little too warm for us but was perfect to have the door open for the dogs to roam around! Welcome hamper was an extra lovely touch. I would move in tomorrow!! Such a gorgeous find and location. We cannot wait to come again, thank you xx

Perfect famiky getaway 5/5

Eleri’s Barn had the wow factor as soo as we opened the door – the barn is beautiful, spacious and has incredible views. Everywhere was immaculate but felt very homely. The hot tub was a huge bonus and we enjoyed spending the evening stargazing! Also perfect for our dog as the garden is enclosed and the floors are all easily wipeable. The barn is well situated to explore Elan Valley and the surrounding areas. We would love to come back!

Highly Recommend 5/5

We had a fabulous stay at Eleri’s Barn. On arrival, the barn was absolutely spotless, smelt lovely and felt like ‘home from home’. Although we are dog owners and take our dogs everywhere, we don’t want to stay somewhere that is clearly ‘dog friendly’ in the sense that there is evidence that dogs have stayed (smell, cleanliness, etc). When we opened the front door, you would never know that the barn was dog friendly! The hot tub and the views were amazing. The facilities were spot on and we had everything we could possibly need. We loved having alpacas as neighbours too! Our only complaint was that we only stayed for three nights!! We, along with our dogs, thoroughly enjoyed. We will certainly return. Thank you very much!

Rebecca Field | 11 February 2026

Amazing Stay 5/5

Amazing stay at the barn. The decor is absolutely stunning! It is very cosy, has everything you need. They even put up Christmas decorations which was a lovely touch. We brought our dog and the garden was perfect as it was enclosed so perfect when we were chilling in the hot tub. It is nearby to Elam Valley and about 40 minute drive to Hafern Forest. They were very responsive when the internet when down and had it repaired very quickly. We will definitely be back!

Perfect weekend 5/5

We loved every single minute we spent at Eleri’s Barn as a family. It was perfect to relax and spend time all together. The barn itself is absolutely beautiful and really well equipped with stunning surroundings. We would just suggest putting a guest book available in the barn so we could leave a nice review written by ourselves. Thank you for our treats and for the wonderful weekend we had at your place.

A hidden gem 5/5

Beautiful stay in Eleri’s barn. The barn has everything you could need for a getaway. Views are stunning and location is great if you’re looking to get outdoors on some beautiful walks. It is spotlessly clean inside and the beds are SO comfy! Loved the little furry alpacas, and the fresh eggs and milkshakes from the shed at the entrance. We will definitely be back!
