Cosy Self Catering Cottage that has everything you need with a spectacular view

The Granary is a beautiful self catering rural retreat, but only 4 miles from the lovely town of Llanidloes, Mid Wales. The Granary is a relaxing cosy rural self catering cottage consisting of a converted cart shed downstairs and granary above, with a new open plan kitchen/sitting room with a wealth of character, beams and wood burner.

It is located in the stunning upland Montgomeryshire countryside on the eastern escarpment of the Cambrian Mountains at 1100 feet on Bryn y Fan, looking east and south down the Trannon valley which leads in to the Severn valley and has spectacular panoramic views over 35 miles with far off mountains cradling the view. These spectacular views can be enjoyed from the terrace and windows of the cottage. Being set exactly in mid Wales, this is the perfect location to explore this beautiful, relatively undiscovered, part of the Wales and easily accessable to north and south Wales. There are also stunning sandy beaches only a 40 minute drive away (ask for details). This is the perfect retreat if you are also looking for peace and quiet to just kick back.

It is set in what was a traditional welsh farm yard on a five and half acre organic smallholding, up a quarter of a mile track, The granary is very private with its own garden and positioned on a large terrace looking down the valley with its spectacular views, which is ideal for entertaining, barbecuing or games. Very secluded with the nearest local neighbour a quarter of a mile away!

Downstairs is an open plan new kitchen, lounge and dining area with glass fronted wood burner. The kitchen is well equipped with everything needed for self catering.

There is the master bedroom, a small double bed on the landing bedroom and bathroom upstairs, double bedroom downstairs. The Granary sleeps 6 comfortably. We have also recently installed a bespoke shower in the bathroom to upgrade these facilities. Since Covid we no longer provide towels. However they are available upon request.

Electricity & lpg gas included for hob and oven.

The log basket is filled for short stays (2 nights) as part of the package, and there is a charge of £10 a bag once these are used up.

There is a TV & DVD player. No wifi in property but is available in yard outside main house. However, we do get very good 4g signal for all of the mobile networks.

Also, High Chair, Charcoal BBQ, picnic table, outdoor seating. We have a selection of local maps, games, adult and children's books for rainy days.

This is the ideal place to come and stay if you just want to 'get away from it all'. Deep in the heart of beautiful countryside and nature, but only 4 miles from local shops and amenities. Children are welcome with a lovely large terraced lawn area for play. There is no cot for infants, however there is a small 'pull out' single bed in the master bedroom. You are welcome to bring your own cot.

The Granary is also only 4 miles from the charming market town of Llanidloes with local shops many of which sell local produce including butcher and organic veg shop, greengrocers and Wholefoods. There are two supermarkets, a Coop and Spar. We like to encourage guests ‘to shop local’ to support our local community in this rural country market town, market day is Saturday.

Set within the 5 acres, there is a hectare of native woodland planted in 2011 which is coming on nicely and you are welcome to explore, we are establishing a wildlife conservation nature reserve with a large pond and have mowed walking tracks you are welcome to use, with benches strategically placed to rest and take in the spectacular views. We practice organic permaculture principles with sustainable aims providing a lot of what we need and have a strict recycling policy.

Very near Llyn Clywedog a large lake which has sailing, fishing (boats can be hired for thios), canoeing, paddle boarding (lessons can be arranged) and Ospreys nesting in the summer. We are very near the River Severn and Wye for excellent canoeing. & fishing Also, close to many fantastic mountain biking tracks too. There is an lovely walk up Bryn y fan, directly from the house, which when at the top, you can see over the lake and on to the Plynlimon mountains west, Snowdon and Cadar Iris to the North, Brecon Beacons to the South and over into hills of Shropshire to the east, stunning 360 degree views for nearly a hundred miles.

No WiFi in the cottage, only outside in the yard infront of the main house. However, there is very good 4g signal for all mobile suppliers.

There two other holiday lets available at these premises one that sleeps 13 and is called Goetre if you wish to extend the number of people for larger family group holidays. There is also a 120 year old beautifully restored Tram that sleeps 2.
we have almost 500 positive reviews for The Granary, Farmhouse & Tram on Airbnb and I am classified as a Superhost.

Weekend away with friends
Bez is a lovely host,down to earth,relaxed and friendly. The property is full of character and the views are breathtaking! Due to it being a converted granary there are some low beams which adds to the charm but could be challenging for taller guests. The town is lovely and well looked after. All the locals we met were very friendly. Hope to return.

Beautiful stunning countryside and wonderful cottage
We loved our stay here. The scenery is stunning, we had amazing weather. Even when the sun goes behind a cloud it still seems bright. Only thing we would mention is that there is another holiday let very close on the same property, the listing gives the impression that the property is completely isolated. Bez is lovely and very helpful. We would be happy to return.

Lovely house in beautiful setting
The setting is incredible, wildlife and incredibly views all around (we had red kites nesting in the tree right by the house) ... Bez exudes enthusiasm for the area and full of great advice about what to see and do, if you want it - which we were very grateful for. A lovely place. In early spring it was chilly but plenty of spare heaters to supplement the wood burning stove when needed. Cosy, comfortable,well equipped, and in a beautiful part of Wales. Lovely walks, local towns are great, and some excellent bird hides to explore.Highly recommended and many thanks to Bez for making it all so special.

Wow, what a view!
Just had a fantastic long weekend at The Granary with my wife, Mom and Granddaughter. The location is great with the coast a 45 minute drive away, a lovely town a short drive away and whilst you’re at the property it’s so amazingly peaceful and wow those views!! We really enjoyed the garden and terrace area with great games for us all to enjoy, even if I discovered that my wife is better at them than me!! Finally, Bez is the perfect host, happy to help with anything that you need. We can all highly recommend it and hope we can return again in the future.

2 night stay with wife and kids
Amazing 2 night stay with my wife and children, we all absolutely loved it. The kids loved the freedom of loads of land to explore and horses to fuss over and we loved the fantastic views over the valleys. This is truly a great place to stay, and we will definitely be returning, hopefully for longer next time. Bez is an amazing host and very helpful.

Lovely views in a lovely area with a cosy cottage!
We had a lovely stay for 3 nights. The views were amazing and the weather made it perfect for walking. The cottage was warm and cosy and was perfect to put the fire on when the temperature dropped in the evening.

Zeer rustig en mooi gelegen vakantiehuis
Het vakantiehuis is zeer mooi en rustig gelegen vakantie huis op zo'n 10 min rijden vanaf Llanidloes. Het uitzicht is er fantastisch. Zeer vriendelijke eigenares die goede uitleg heeft gegeven bij aankomst. Gezien het om een oud pand gaat is het binnen gezellig. De badkamer is klein met een vrij laag plafond, maar op zich netjes. De benedenverdieping is voldoende ruim. Echter kon de netheid hier iets beter. De bedden zijn goed. We hebben hier een uitstekend verblijf gehad.
