About this property
Set within a private valley in rural Wales, the Hay Barn is the estate’s contemporary counterpart: an oak-framed barn conversion with panoramic views across meadow fields, the river and rolling Welsh hills, created for sociable group stays in a striking natural setting. Sleeping up to 10 guests across five king-size en-suite bedrooms, it offers a refined yet relaxed base for gatherings, celebrations or time away with friends.
At its centre is a spacious, open-plan living area where cooking, dining and downtime flow seamlessly together, with a fully equipped kitchen, generous dining space and a welcoming lounge anchored by a wood-burning stove. Interiors feel calm and considered, with a focus on space, light and natural materials, while full-height picture windows frame panoramic views across meadow fields, the river and rolling Welsh hills, bringing the ever-changing landscape indoors.
Outside, a stone terrace and garden extend the living space, with alfresco seating and a large dining table ideal for long lunches, evening meals or relaxed mornings taking in the views. A private hot tub adds an extra layer of comfort, while the wider estate offers access to a wood-fired sauna set among woodland, a river for wild swimming and an event space designed for gatherings, workshops or retreats.
With open countryside and walking routes in every direction, this is a setting designed for groups seeking both connection and space, with thoughtful details and flexible spaces that suit everything from family getaways to creative retreats.
Set within a private valley in rural Wales, The Hay Barn is surrounded by a mix of open farmland and gently rising hills, with 10 acres of private grounds to explore. Footpaths lead directly from the property through the landscape, while the River Trannon runs close by, offering a refreshing spot for wild swimming in warmer months.
Part of the land has been left to grow naturally over decades, forming a three-acre woodland rich in wildlife. Here, you might spot badgers, foxes or red kites overhead, with the river tracing its way along the edge. It’s a quiet, undisturbed area that can be explored on guided walks or simply enjoyed as a peaceful place to pause.
The wider area is well placed for exploring some of Mid Wales’ most striking scenery, from the walking routes of Hafren Forest and the source of the River Severn to the higher ground of Plynlimon and the Cambrian Mountains. For a change of pace, the coastal village of Aberdyfi, where the estuary opens out to the sea, makes an easy and worthwhile day trip.
For everyday essentials, the market town of Llanidloes is just a 10-minute drive away, with a selection of independent shops, cafés and pubs. This combination of open countryside and nearby amenities gives you the freedom to fully switch off, without feeling cut off.
