The valley is filled with birdsong every evening as the robins and wrens begin to claim their territories ready for nesting in the Spring. The barns are full of hay and straw ready for lambing and the scanner will soon be visiting the farm to tell us how many lambs we’ll can expect to arrive in late March. Our Laced Wyandotte and Speckled Sussex hens are having a rest from laying as the shorter daylight hours don’t give them enough time to take in enough feed to both stay warm and produce eggs. They will begin to lay again as the daylight hours lengthen.
Hareley Barn benefits from being an individual property with its own entrance. It has a new smart EV charging point which is compatible with all electric cars so EV drivers visiting us now don’t have to worry about running out of charge or stopping over at in-transit rapid charging points before arrival. Hareley Barn also has a dedicated FTTP (Fibre To The Premises) broadband supply offering 30Mbs.
The independent shops in Bromyard, three miles away, are handy for guests’ needs whilst on holiday and include two craft butchers and delicatessens and two bakeries that bake on the premises. It’s a good time of year to eat out at one of the many traditional inns in the area. The Black & White Village Trail has beautiful villages to explore (and more inns!). The Conquest Theatre in Bromyard and Malvern Theatre offer evening entertainment and a basket of traditional board games and selection of books in Hareley Barn offer a relaxing evening in. Many of the students at Hereford College of Arts choose to stay in the County once they’ve graduated so art and craft galleries abound.
Hareley Barn’s Mobility 1 accreditation cannot be renewed as the scheme has now closed but the provisions put in place to meet the scheme standards are still in place and a floorplan and access guide are shown on this website.
