About this property
Tranquil retreat for two in the Heart Of Rural Mid Wales.
Barn conversion near Pont Robert, North Powys, Wales. Rural retreat for two. Hillview has been converted from a barn to provide very spacious and contemporary accommodation, nestling in the side of a hill overlooking a valley. Hillview is well equipped with everything that you would need for your perfect holiday. Plenty of parking. The accommodation is arranged over two floors. The living area has an Aga wood burner to keep you warm and cosy in winter and radiators in each room supplied by an oil combi boiler. In the summer triple bi-folding doors open onto a large decking area to take full advantage of the wonderful views across the hills. The kitchen has integrated appliances, painted cupboards topped with Granite. An Oak staircase off the living area leads to a very spacious and light bedroom, the focal point being a roll top free standing bath where you can enjoy a glass of wine and look out at the views. Off the bedroom is an en-suite shower. Also upstairs is another sitting area with TV/ DVD. Hillview is furnished with bespoke and unique furniture throughout creating an individual property for the discerning traveller that appreciates something a little different.
Hillview is situated on a smallholding with animals and surrounding gardens. An ideal place to relax, unwind or go for walks. Spend the nights star gazing as there is no light pollution, or watching the wildlife such as Bats, Badgers, Red Kites and other wildlife. There is plenty of information and maps to introduce you to this quiet corner of Wales.

The most beautiful space in the most beautiful setting!
Came here for our honeymoon in August - Toni facilitated the most relaxed but invigorating stay for us! The space is stunnning, she has thought of everything in the kitchen, bathroom and living area. The bed is SO comfortable and everything is very clean. Gorgeous views and excellent DVD collection!
The house has everything you need if you're looking to relax away from it all. Comfy bed, luxurious bath, log burner and outdoor space with stunning views (day and night). We also loved seeing all the rescue animals. Toni and Hari were excellent hosts and we are already planning our return.

Just perfect
This cottage is the perfect place for a few days away from it all. Our plan was to lock ourselves in and escape for a few days but the area is so beautiful we visited Powys Castle one day and Lake Vyrnwy the next. The cottage itself is just stunning, every detail has been thought of to make your stay lovely. I definitely will return.

Wonderfully homely, beautiful and out of the way
The photos don't do the property justice, the downstairs has a very rustic, rural feel to it with wooden furniture, kitchen and a cosy wood burner to keep you warm. Upstairs is very open plan, with a gigantic comfy bed with thick bedding you can sink in to. Speaking of sinks.. the biggest bathtub I've seen is right in the middle of the upstairs floor with bathroom and shower close by. Wi-Fi, smart tv and Freesat plus dvds for entertainment.
On arrival we were greeted with prosecco, a welcome card and freshly home made flapjacks, which I promptly devoured, possibly the highlight of the trip, those flapjacks.
Toni was super nice and popped by to see how we were doing.
Has everything you need to either eat in, and cook yourself dinner or nearby country pubs serving local food.
One minor issue was that there wasn't enough hot water to heat the gigantic bathtub so it ended up rather like warm, borderline cold.
Everything was fully stocked, fire was ready to go (read the instructions!), really clean and well looked after.
100% would recommend, and definitely would want to stay again.
This building has been completely renovated in a very quality style. We enjoyed our stay here and didn't want to leave. Nice view from the outside deck. Inside, there's a firebox for chilly nights or days. Upstairs there's a wonderfully comfortable bed, very useful bathroom, and a stunning free standing tub. The roads can be tiny, we preferred the route from Ponterobert for that reason.
My partner & I wanted to spend our first Christmas married “in the middle of nowhere” and coming from Birmingham city central, we were definitely in the middle of nowhere!
I cannot pin point one flaw. The views, the barn, the hospitality…everything was just incredible and more than what we expected. And Toni is a delight!
If anybody is looking for a quiet Christmas away with their partner, we highly recommend. It was truly the most relaxed I have felt in years!
We had a very enjoyable in these peaceful surroundings. The converted barn is well furnished and welcoming. The vegetable plot is a delight and demonstrates all round attention to skill and detail. Spectacular views.
Was a lovely stay at hillview. Had everything we needed for a short trip away to the country. The converted barn is very very remote so you can't hear anything around you which was lovely. Toni was a great host and made us feel so welcome and comfortable too!
We had the most wonderful stay at Hillview, Toni was so friendly and had so many suggestions for things to do (we wished we'd booked for longer to do them all!) Hillview is a real treasure, it is such a beautiful conversion and the bedroom is absolutely gorgeous! We stayed as part of our honeymoon and it was absolutely perfect, we've already looked into booking to come back for our anniversary! Thank you Toni for a truly lovely place to stay
5* in all aspects of our stay! The Property Manager (Toni) made us feel extremely welcome as soon as we arrived. The property was presented emaculately and had so much character. We were also gifted a complimentary bottle of prosecco and walnut cake on our arrival, which was a heartwarming touch seeing as it was my birthday weekend! We really could not fault the stay, the views were beautiful, and was a perfect place to rest during a full weekend of adventures in the area. We really do hope to visit soon! Thank you again Toni!
Peaceful and Relaxing with a touch of luxury - A break away to remember
The location and setting was exactly what we wanted. Recommended by our Son and Daughter-in-Law this secluded converted barn lived up to the expectations that we had envisaged and proved to be the perfect retreat for our Spring getaway. With just the sounds of the birds and the hillside sheep this made for our perfect setting. The accommodation has a superb upper floor bedroom and the views across the countryside and indeed the owner's amazing vegetable garden are a memory to cherish. The roll top bath brings that touch of luxury that made our stay, we really enjoyed our time here and given the opportunity to travel up we would love to stay again. Thank you for making our holiday.
High standard accommodation in a tranquil location. Great host who gave very helpful information. Lovely places to visit nearby. We had great weekend and didn’t want to leave. Highly recommended.
The property is one of the best we have experienced. Well presented and equiped. You can tell that all firniture and design features are well thought out and organised with love and attention. The place is actually bigger than it looks on the photos.
We loved the area and had wonderful walks. It's secluded, no noice, amazing views on the stars. We would highly recommend you this property. We hope to return one day.
A wonderful property, miles from anywhere. It was spotlessly clean, tastefully decorated and perfectly appointed. Well managed, with a helpful host - we had a great time.
Excellent experience all round- great little property, cosy for a winter break and well-equipped for self catering. We loved sitting by the wood fire in the evenings and the cake was delicious!
Short break over Christmas, and we would definitely book again. Our hosts had provided everything we needed (including ample fuel for the log burner). Friendly but respectful of our privacy. A great place to base yourself for walking, or just for lounging at leisure. I particularly liked being able to see the night sky so clearly through the many skylights.
Great property to stay at, we had a wonderful time and would definitely stay again. The property was lovely and toni was lovely and willing to help with anything.
A beautiful barn conversion, really spacious and tastefully decorated to a high standard. We enjoyed relaxing next to the log burner while admiring the amazing views from the living room. Toni was a most welcoming host and ensured we had everything we needed for our stay. She told us about really good places to eat and visit. All in all a lovely countryside retreat to get away from everything and enjoy a peaceful few days.
Myself and partner wanted some time away from city life and have a quiet, recharge holiday. We got this in buckets full! The place is stunning, we thought the pictures were amazing, it was so much more in person.
Toni was fantastic, warmly welcomed us and had the fire going before we arrived, so it was lovely and cosy as soon as we entered. Toni was very knowledgeable and answered everything we needed to know. Amazing apple cake was baked for us on arrival, which went down a real treat. Myself and partner cannot rate our stay any higher, we will return again and will be telling anyone who wants a getaway, that this would be the place to go!
We had the most wonderful stay at the barn. The location and the barn itself is amazing, peaceful, secluded and scenic. The barn was far better than what we have seen on the pictures and we received a warm welcome. The local area was full of great walks, beautiful places to visit and we wish we could have stayed longer. We will definitely be back. Thank you Toni for your welcome and for making our stay so comfortable.
