The Old Grain Store Wales

About

Set deep in a quiet Welsh valley where fields, woodland, and wildlife surround you on all sides, The Old Grain Store offers a peaceful rural escape unlike anywhere else. Once part of a working farm, this remarkable circular building has been transformed into a luxurious countryside hideaway. It’s a place where you can slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with nature in absolute comfort. With a private hot tub, a deck built over a running brook, and interiors filled with character, it’s a stay that feels both wonderfully unique and instantly welcoming.

Inside

Step into the spacious entrance hall, hang your coats on the settle, and feel the warmth of the building wrap around you. The Old Grain Store has been designed with care to celebrate its unusual curved structure, blending corrugated iron from the silo and cladded wood with modern luxury. 

The open-plan kitchen follows the circular walls and comes fully equipped with a hob, fridge, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, kettle, and all the essentials for self-catering. Prepare breakfast with the sun streaming through the windows, or gather ingredients for a barbecue down by the brook. The living area is made for slow, cosy evenings. A spacious sofa sits in front of the wood-burning stove, with board games, books, and a Smart TV ready for nights in. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with light and frame uninterrupted views of the fields and trees outside.

A spiral staircase leads to the mezzanine bedroom, where you can lie under the original silo roof. Here you’ll find a luxurious king-size bed, soft lighting, warm wood panelling, and a second sofa that overlooks the brook and surrounding landscape – an idyllic nook for reading or simply watching the valley wake up. The sofa converts into a bed for extra guests, and there’s an additional double sofa bed downstairs, making the space flexible for couples, families, or small groups. The modern bathroom features a large waterfall shower, fluffy towels, complimentary toiletries, and underfloor heating that runs throughout the building to keep things cosy in every season.

Outside

The outdoor space begins just a few steps from the door, where the hot tub sits conveniently on its own decked area, making it effortless to slip outside and sink straight into the warmth. Hang your robe on the outdoor hooks, slip into the warm water, and let the tranquillity of the valley melt your stresses away. From here, a short path leads you to the beautiful wooden deck built directly over the flowing brook. Eat breakfast while listening to birdsong, enjoy lazy afternoons in the sunshine, or simply sit and watch the water ripple beneath your feet. The views are of a tranquil, tree-lined field, creating a private, enclosed feel that enhances the sense of retreat. 

Beyond the deck, the little bridge leads to a firepit area with seating and a table, ideal for simple outdoor suppers, toasted marshmallows, and nights spent beneath wonderfully dark skies. The garden itself is fully fenced, offering a safe, contained space for children to be outside. Every moment outdoors feels calm, intimate, and quietly restorative.

Nearby

The Old Grain Store feels blissfully secluded, yet it sits within easy reach of some of Mid Wales’ most memorable experiences. Step straight from the door into open fields, peaceful woodland, and long countryside trails, or pick up a section of the historic Offa’s Dyke Path for panoramic valley views. Radnor Forest is just a short drive away and offers everything from gentle nature strolls to more challenging hikes, as well as mountain biking, birdwatching, and hidden viewpoints that reward the adventurous.

The nearby market town of Newtown offers riverside walks, galleries like Oriel Davies, and a choice of eateries. For a memorable meal out, you’ll find charming countryside inns such as The Banc in Knighton, The Horse & Jockey in Knighton, and The Metropole in Llandrindod Wells, all serving hearty local dishes.

If you’re planning a full day out, an hour’s drive takes you to Hay-on-Wye, famous for its bookshops, boutiques, and riverside cafés, as well as spots where you can hire canoes or enjoy a scenic walk along the River Wye. Closer to home, you can explore the landscape around Knighton, visit local farm shops for fresh produce, or simply wander through quiet villages dotted with traditional pubs and welcoming tearooms.
