  • "We had a very enjoyable week staying in the Granary."

    The only complaint we could make is rained too much but the best property cannot control this. Eileen the owner went out of her way to try & ensure we had a happy time. There is a picture hanging on the wall in the living area that shows what the building looked like originally. The conversion to the present state has been carried out to the highest standard. It now offers all the necessary amenities, comfort & atmosphere to provide everything you could want.

  • "The host Eileen met us on our arrival and is very welcoming and friendly."

    The property is part of three properties formed from an old barn. It is superb condition and has everything you need for a relaxing stay. It is up a short track, off the access road at the top of a hill with beautiful views all around especially over to the west. There is plenty of parking with garden seating areas at the front to watch the sun set, or BBQ at the rear. It is such a lovely peaceful place to stay. We stayed a week and enjoyed exploring the hills and mountains in the area. We would love to return some time in the not too distant future.

    There were lots of other thoughtful touches, such as a velour blanket in the lounge, which was great; I arrived at The Granary full of a cold and the first thing I wanted to do was relax on the reclining sofa and wrap myself up in the blanket! Thankfully the next day I felt a bit better and we started exploring some of the beautiful Mid Wales countryside, hills and coast. Even the weather was perfect for our 3 day break; having climbed Cadair Idris, visited Dolgellau, and been fascinated by the Centre for Alternative Technology, we strolled along Aberdovey beach and watched the fabulous sunset, wishing we could stay a bit longer. The views across the valley from the cottages are just lovely, and we were delighted to see red kites take off from one of the nearby fields, and hear owls hooting in the distance at night. Having had a lovely meal at the Goat Hotel (I recommend booking in advance!) in nearby Llanfair we ended a memorable evening standing in the back garden of The Granary watching a shooting star in a beautiful starry sky (very little light pollution!). We would definitely recommend staying at either the Granary, or Eileen's adjacent cottage The Stables, which is a little larger, and I am sure it would be just as perfect. We will definitely return!

About the location

LLANFAIR CAEREINION

Welshpool 8 miles.

The town of Llanfair Caereinion is built upon the site of an old Roman fort, in the valley of the River Banwy. It is a thriving town built around The Church of St Mary, with a Post Office, two supermarkets, and a selection of three different pubs. The annual Llanfair Caereinion Carnival is very popular with locals, and proceeds through the town with a full parade of floats and dancing troupes, providing a Rio carnival atmosphere. There is a river walk along the banks of the Banwy leading to an Arboretum, containing over 25 different species of British trees, an ideal place to explore before stepping back in time and jumping on the start of the narrow gauge heritage steam railway that runs 8.5 miles west to Welshpool. Welshpool nestles into the upper reaches of the picturesque Severn Valley near the border between Wales and England. This bustling market town is surrounded by rolling hills and glorious unspoilt countryside. There's a unique blend of shops offering arts & crafts, fashion & leisure, fresh produce, and quality pubs and restaurants, as well as the town centre’s restored cock fighting pit and interesting Heritage Trail.
