The Granary Reviews

James
We loved the stunning scenery right outside and the lovely walks nearby. Andre and Alison made us feel really welcome and looked after us. Perfect spot for exploring Elan Valley and the Cambrians. Thanks for a great week!
James
We stumbled upon Nannerth quite a few years back when our kids were littleand it's become a bit of a family tradition ever since. Even now, with them in their mid twenties, we keep coming back because it just feels like home. The cottage is cosy, spotlessly cleanand well kitted out, blending traditional charm with modern touches like the hot tub - a real treat! The location is perfect for exploring, with lovely countryside walks right outside, plus options for shorter strolls along the river or farm. It's also handy for trips to the Elan Valley or the coast for days at the beach. Rhayader has plenty of places to eat or grab supplies. The hosts are fantastic, friendlyand always happy to help. We love it here!
