We stayed at the Granary Cottage from Friday June 25th for 1 week, This was a wonderful place to re-charge after non stop tiring work for 12 months. We were greeted by the adorable Eileen, who left us all sorts of extra goodys in the cottage. We met Eileen and her son the next morning for a lovely long chat, and that afternoon in the Saturday sunshine, we met two lovely guests from the cottage next door who were also there for a week, "W" and "B". That evening we had a cheeseboard at the front of the cottage with some amazing views, followed by many cosy evenings in front of the TV with the curtains left open to take in that amazing view. Eileen could not do enough for us, even bought over a spare new frying pan for us, to allow even more items on our full english breakfasts, she even bought over a large tub of fresh strawberries and much more. There were loads of places to visit, all within driving distance, Shrewsbury, Newtown, Welshpool, Oswestry, Powis Castle and Gardens, Museums, Glansevern Hall Gardens, Dingle Gardens, Lake Bala, Lake Vyrnwy and the Rhiw Valley Light Railway Scenic Trip. If I had to pick the best day out, to be honest, Derwen Garden Centre with the Maze and Farm Shop and Restaurant would be the most memorable, followed by Lake Vyrnwy, but a week was just not long enough, as there are hundreds of places to visit and explore. There were also lots of supermarkets within reach for that feast night in, Sainsburys, Morrisons, Spar, Londis, and I have to say, Oswestry was one of my personal favourite places with some great stores, ie. B&M, Poundland, HomeBargains, Wilkinsons, with free parking in Sainsburys Oswestry if you spend £5 or more. Overnights at the cottage were truly superb in a bed that felt like you were sleeping on air. The cottage also had a spacious kitchen, fridge/freezer, modern cooker / microwave, and piping hot water in the kitchen and modern bathroom. We have booked again for next Summer and cannot wait. Thank you again to Eileen for making the stay even more fun and for all she have done for us to make such a memorable holiday. I have enclosed some great photos, as words just cannot explain how amazing this holiday was, so much so, that we rebooked again while still at the cottage. As an added extra, parking is right next to you on the private land, there is free wifi (BT), many FREE channels on the TV courtesy of the Sky Box, and no problem with 3g 4g signal for your phones on Vodafone, Three, O2 (Tesco) etc. Front and Rear Garden areas, with stunning views on all sides. Cannot wait for next year again June 2022.

The owner was very welcoming and went over and above the usual service levels expected on a self catering holiday but without being intrusive, The cottage was superbly appointed with a high standard of workmanship and cleanliness.. The views were stunning and the patio areas were a veritable sun trap, a great base for exploring Mid Wales, probably the best stay we have experienced from many Sykes and other self catering holidays.

Mrs Organ

The Granary was perfect in every way although a king size bed would have been nice :-) Eileen is the perfect host and made us feel welcome and couldn't do enough to make our stay enjoyable.. Property was exceptionally clean and had everything you needed with beautiful views to enjoy. Location is perfect for exploring this beautiful area. Would highly recommend.

The Granary and indeed the hospitality of the owner were second to none.. The little personal touches were very much appreciated! The accommodation was warm, comfortable and had everything you could possibly need to enhance your stay wether having a quiet few days or using as a base from which to travel. We will hopefully be booking again soon!!

You could not hope for a more beautiful setting! Far enough away from civilisation to be peaceful yet close enough to be practical. The cottage itself is stunning and your host during your stay, Mrs Jones, is fantastic and genuinely lovely. We have fallen in love with this place ❤.

Wonderful cottage with beautiful views.. Everything that you could need was provided plus other little touches such as home made bara brith, milk and eggs waiting for us when we arrived. Outdoor furniture provided both at the front and rear of the cottage to enable you to sit with your drink and enjoy the peaceful location whilst watching the Red Kites flying over the nearby fields. The host, Mrs Jones, makes the holiday experience at this cottage complete, she is friendly, helpful and nothing is too much trouble.

Mr Jones, August 2019

The Granary was perfection, everything was better than the pictures promised.. The view from the cottage was idyllic and Mrs Jones was the perfect host and did everything to make our stay even more enjoyable. The memory of this weeks holiday will stay with us for a long time.

Mr Jones

A very clean well appointed cottage that met all our needs.. Mrs Jones the owner provides many extras .....tea coffee cake and eggs from her hens. The location was peaceful and surrounded by farm land and lovely views. Lots to do and gardens to visit in the area or just soak up the sun in the garden if the weather is good. Getting there...from 458 Welshpool Road turn onto 495 Meiford road. ..Take the first turn left after Dolgeath Hall Caravan Park not sign posted and easy to miss and you will see the cottages sign on your right just up the lane.

Outstanding accommodation with everything you could possibly need and much more.. With a exceptional proprietor and views and a short drive to all amenities.This is a excellent location

Ms Ashitey

The cottage is an absolutely amazing find that we stumbled upon whilst looking to come away.. Your family are so friendly and welcoming I just cant get over it. There were many little touches I was just not expecting like eggs and milk that just set you aside from other options. The cottage itself is homely and everything is beautiful a real home from home. Everything you need and more is there The scenery oh my goodness the veows are incredible we were lucky and had some very good weather which made exploring a great time. I cant beleive what good prices it was to stay with you we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to return soon. Rebecca Ashitey and Daniel Martin

Eileen was very friendly and welcoming, and ensured that the cottage was comfortable and very clean for our arrival, with lots of little details such as milk, eggs, biscuits, tea, coffee and sugar in the kitchen, and robes to snuggle up in, in the bedroom.. 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!

This is a hidden gem of a holiday cottage ! ! Far from any noise or traffic, it was a perfect place for our last minute getaway and perfect for couples who want a romantic break. The cottage was spotlessly clean and contained everything you would want, plus more. The owner is a lovely, friendly lady, for whom nothing is too much trouble and having milk, tea bags, welsh cakes etc. waiting for us on arrival was most welcoming. If you like piece & quiet and want to get away from it all - this is the perfect place, and we will definitely be returning.

Mr Rothwell

The owner was extremely friendly and helpful.. She was very attentive and nothing was too much trouble.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful location.. Peaceful and quiet. Eileen, the owner, gave us a lovely welcome and we felt it was home from home!

This cottage is my idea of perfection. A building with thick stone walls and gorgeous wooden fittings. Inside the owner has provided everything you could wish for making it a home from home. On arrival the owner had left home made cake, eggs, milk and all the usual things like tea and coffee as well as many more welcoming touches too numerous to mention. There are two private patio areas to use and the view is spectacular. A few miles away is Llanfair Caeirinion with a steam train ride to Welshpool, I would certainly recommend it. The cottage is close to many walking trails and Snowdonia national park is about half an hour ride away. I would strongly recommend The Granary and will definitely be returning in the future.

The cottage was a gem, first class accommodation.. Couldn't fault anything. Eileen was a lovely lady the welcome pack was a lovely touch.

Accommodation was lovely and we had a warm welcome from the owner.. Welcome pack was provided that included home baked Welsh cakes which were delicious. Views from the cottage across open countryside.

Mr Meadows

November 2016

The cottage was warm, welcoming and exactly as the brochure depicted.. The length our host went to make sure our stay was memorable was exceptional. The preparation for the visitor and the attention to detail i.e.. milk, barabrith cake, bathrobes neatly laid out, the cleanliness of the property and the quality of the workmanship of the renovation, her warmth and desire to please all laid the foundation for a truly remarkable holiday. I am sure we will visit again

Mr Meadows, November 2016

October 2016

We booked last minute and were thrilled with our choice and we couldn't have wished for a more friendly or considerate host; Mrs Jones works extremely hard to provide her guests with everything they need - and there was a thoughtful welcome pack of goodies waiting for us when we arrived.. Sited high up on open farmland, the Granary had stunning views and had been beautifully converted. A perfect size for a couple, the cottage was spotlessly clean and well equipped; very comfortable bed and thoughtful extras such as bath robes - and a gas barbecue on the patio. Well-situated for exploring Mid Wales and the border area - we would heartily recommend.

Mrs Sabin, September 2016

September 2016

The owner Eileen was so very friendly and welcoming.. There was a welcome home made cake and additional touches of all the basics needed such as Tea, coffee, condiments and a variety of other useful kitchen items. The fluffy white towelling dressing gowns were an added bonus to snuggle into at the end of a busy day sightseeing. Wonderful facilities and a lovely place to stay.

The Granary is an absolutely delightful place to stay, tastefully furnished, nicely equipped and very comfortable.. The views are stunning. The location is very convenient for touring through that area of Wales. Our host Eileen is a lovely lady who made us feel most welcome, just like we were visiting with friends. Her welcome pack complete with her home baked Bara Brith made our arrival just that little bit more special.

The owner of The Granary has gone to extraordinary lengths to ensure guests want or need for nothing for a comfortable and relaxing stay. That alone, should ensure a future booking from me.

What an amazing place to stay. We found this little gem very last minute! Mrs Jones has only just started her venture and I am sure she will do well. We had a lovely welcome with homemade Welsh cakes and everything you could ask for in a home from home. The inside is comfortable, clean and just the right size for two. There are stunning views from outside the cottage and we were able to eat outside in the garden. I would totally recommend this place for anyone who wants to come and explore mid Wales.

Mr Nelson

The position was perfect, there were fabulous uninterrupted views of the Welsh hills. It was peaceful and quiet, and within easy reach of the coast. A very cosy welcoming property with everything you could wish for.
