  • Pretty detached barn on a bend of the River Wye, with canoe hire available
  • In the grounds of a campsite with access to facilities including shop and rustic bar
  • Cosy bedroom in the eaves, accessed via a quirky spiral staircase
Property code: OC-87736

With a romantic bedroom underneath the eaves, a winding wrought iron staircase and a gorgeous rustic atmosphere, you’ll go barking mad for this unique barn conversion in a tranquil rural haven.

Feel right at home in the open-plan living, kitchen and dining area, combining a rustic traditional atmosphere with a fantastic contemporary colour palette that’ll make even your four-pawed pal feel pampered. Let Rover curl up on the rug in the living area as you put your feet up on the comfy leather sofa and catch the latest blockbuster on the TV. Cook up a storm for you and your canine companion in the galley-style kitchen after planning your next walkies around the farmhouse-style dining table opposite. Up the quirky and characterful staircase, relax and recuperate in the double bedroom underneath the eaves, with countryside views and plenty of room for Rover’s bed. Outside, lead the way for your pup to explore the open aspect garden and surrounding campsite facilities, and sniff out the nearby river for a lovely long walk.

Located within an established campsite on the fringes of the picturesque village of Preston-on-Wye, you can lead the way right from your doorstep along to the River Wye, where you and your canine companion can enjoy a leisurely promenade along the Wye Valley Way to sniff out a wide range of wildlife. Go mutts in the vibrant market town of Hay-on-Wye 12 miles away where you can pick up local produce from a farmers’ market or browse the independent shops with your top dog in tow. Leave no stick unfetched and join the Offa’s Dyke Path on the Hatterall Ridge (17 miles) for a challenging hike or tackle Hay Bluff and the Black Mountains (16 miles).

We spent three days kayaking up stream and were amazed at the beautiful landscape and wildlife around the whole area. The visiting Canadian canoe crews brought excitement to the campsite and were a pleasure to share the site with. Moving kayaks up and down the bank was made easy with the ladder and steps down to the waters edge. Bring a 12mm rope aRead mores a painter to lower and raise your kayak. Extremely friendly and helpful hosts made the stay an true adventure. Hide

We had a really lovely stay at the outhouse for our babymoon. The hosts were very friendly and the campsite location itself is fantastic. We hired a canoe onsite (40 for 2 hours) and really enjoyed paddling up the river in the sunshine. As mentioned in some other reviews the staircase is very narrow and steep, so we didn't find this dog friendly, sRead moreimilarly, the garden is not enclosed/ fully fenced in so dogs need to be on a lead at all times. AC unit was a godsend but no tea/coffee available. Hide

The Outhouse was a brilliant little place to stay and in a perfect location to use as a base to travel to the little towns near by! We had an amazing stay and would definitely recommend.

Lovely little barn conversion right on the River Wye set in a picturesque location. Unfortunately the river was too wild to get out on, but in better conditions it is a great place to launch from with canoe hire facilities on site. The kitchen does not have a microwave (just a heads up), but it did not affect my stay as I planned meals accordingly.Read more The location is lovely with easy access into Hereford or over the border into Wales, with lots of quaint villages and great country pubs.

Cosy cottage with top class interior design. Its so clean. Great layout using the best of the available space. Air-con in the bedroom was ideal when temperatures hit high 20s. We slept really well in the comfortable bed but headroom in the bedroom is very limited so I wouldnt recommend to tall people. Also the pretty spiral staircase was challenginRead moreg so take care.
