The Granary Self Catering Accommodation

A luxury 5-star barn conversion near Ross-on-Wye

The Granary at Kempley Barns is a luxurious barn conversion sleeping up to eight, set in peaceful countryside near Ross-on-Wye on the Herefordshire border of the Wye Valley. Holding a 5-star rating with a coveted Rose Award, it combines genuine character with high-end comfort — and the shared facilities of a much larger estate, including a heated indoor pool — making an exquisite retreat for a family or group.

The Granary

Inside, the barn is finished to a high standard: a gourmet oak kitchen with granite surfaces, luxurious slate bathrooms, Egyptian cotton linen, towels and robes, and spacious vaulted living and dining areas that make the most of the building’s character. Underfloor heating keeps it welcoming throughout, and the comfortable bedrooms sleep up to eight in all. It is the kind of place where the quality is evident the moment you walk in.

The estate and shared facilities

The Granary sits within Kempley Barns’ fifty acres of meadows, orchards and streams, and guests share some genuinely special facilities: a heated indoor pool, a bonfire area and barbecue, a play barn with outdoor equipment, a boating pond, and orchard and wildflower walks. Hi-speed WiFi is provided throughout, well-behaved dogs are welcome, and a personal chef or catering, plus massage and beauty therapy, can be arranged for a special occasion — a real treat for a celebration.

Ross-on-Wye and the Wye Valley

Kempley Barns lies near the market town of Ross-on-Wye, on the Herefordshire–Gloucestershire border at the edge of the Wye Valley. Ross-on-Wye is a handsome town set on a bend of the River Wye, often called the gateway to the wooded valley, with independent shops, riverside walks and its hilltop church. The Forest of Dean and the Malvern Hills are close by too. For more places to stay in the area, see our guide to accommodation in the Wye Valley.

Days out from the barn

This is a wonderful corner of the borders for a group holiday. Canoeing on the River Wye, the famous viewpoint at Symonds Yat Rock and the romantic ruins of Goodrich Castle are all within easy reach, while the Forest of Dean offers cycling, sculpture trails and adventure days out. The cathedral cities of Hereford and Gloucester and the spa town of Malvern make rewarding day trips, and the rolling Herefordshire countryside is dotted with cider farms and country pubs. With the estate’s own pool, play barn and grounds, though, many days need go no further than the gate.
