The valley is filled with birdsong every evening as the robins, thrushes and wrens begin to claim their territories ready for nesting in the Spring. The farm has a good stock of hay and straw ready for lambing and the sheep scanner’s visit has let us know we’ll be busy in late March. Our Laced Wyandotte and Speckled Sussex hens are beginning to lay again as 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 200Mbs.
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!). There’s good walking from the door, with beautiful views across three Counties. 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 VisitEngland 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.
