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.

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.
