A literary adventure for two on the edge of the book town of Hay-on-Wye. Cosy up in this contemporary-meets-classic cottage, before heading out to bookshops, cafes, and events in the picturesque Wye Valley.
The granary’s location enjoys the best of both rural and town life. It sits on a working smallholding, where you can meet goats and enjoy fresh Wye produce. Head off for a countryside walk along the banks of the River Wye, or even a shallow paddle. When you’re ready for some culture, the vibrant literary hub of Hay-on-Wye is less than a mile’s stroll, home of events and hang-outs for wordsmiths. There’s even a 12th-century castle if you fancy taking in some Welsh history.
Gardeners Granary occupies the upper floor of a two-storey barn conversion. Theproperty itself is a sweet, traditional stone granary, but renovated in a contemporary country style. Head up a set of external steps to reach the living space: a long open-plan space leading from a comfy, relaxing lounge to a kitchen and dining area. Here you have everything you need to create romantic meals for two, and enjoy them at the dining table with the light of the valley washing through the space. Freshen up in the large shower before heading to bed in the light super-king-size bedroom, separated from the living space by a curtain and boasting views across the winding River Wye. Outside the property, revel in the country air. The balcony faces the fields of this active smallholding and has outdoor furniture so you can enjoy an al fresco drink as the sun sets.
Also available to book at this property is the ground floor Glanwye Lower Barn offering accommodation for two guests. Ideal for parties travelling together but requiring separate living space.
