Full Property Details

Penblaith Barn is a beautifully converted traditional stone barn, set in an elevated position just five miles north of Monmouth, commanding far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside.

Since opening in 2010, Penblaith Barn has established itself as a long-standing VisitEngland 5-Star Gold Award property and one of the region’s most highly regarded large-group stays. Consistently praised for its exceptional cleanliness, quality, comfort and attention to detail, it offers accommodation for up to 18 guests across eight en-suite bedrooms, including a spacious family suite.

Arranged over three generous floors, the barn blends character, scale and thoughtful design with a high standard of modern comfort. At its heart is a striking galleried hall, open to all three levels, where an oak staircase and exposed stone chimney breast create an immediate sense of arrival — both impressive and warmly welcoming.

Designed with sociable group stays in mind, the ground floor flows effortlessly between cooking, dining and relaxation.

The dining space forms the heart of the home, where guests can gather around large oak tables in a banquet-style setting. A well-appointed kitchenette, complete with glassware, crockery and two dishwashers, ensures everything is easily to hand, while the fully equipped bar area — with wine fridge, beer fridge and cocktail accessories — adds a sense of occasion. A bean-to-cup coffee machine and relaxed seating area with a log-effect fire create a space that transitions naturally from slow mornings to lively evenings.

The adjacent kitchen is comprehensively equipped for larger groups, featuring a dual fuel range cooker, American-style fridge freezer, microwave, dishwasher and washer-dryer, alongside a wide range of additional appliances, including an air fryer, Magimix, George Foreman grill, hostess trolley and more. (See ‘What’s Included’ for full details.)

For a truly memorable experience, many guests choose to arrange a private chef — allowing you to relax with a drink in the bar or dining space while everything is expertly prepared and served for you.

The spacious lounge offers deep, comfortable leather sofas with seating for all guests, complemented by a Smart TV and Xbox.

For a more immersive experience, the dedicated cinema room is a standout feature — complete with tiered seating, surround sound and full access to Sky, Sky Cinema, Sky Sports, TNT, Disney+, Netflix, HBO Max and Discovery+.

The barn opens onto extensive private gardens and a large raised patio that runs the full length of the property. From here, guests can enjoy uninterrupted views stretching towards the Cotswolds in one direction and the Malvern Hills in the other — one of the property’s most memorable features.
