In January, when we visited Wales (for the first time in my life!), our Hay-on-Wye holiday cottage was aptly located near the beautiful little town of Hay-on-Wye, renowned for its book festival. Sadly, the day we visited Hay-on-Wye, our sat-nav decided to send us there via the middle of nowhere, the longest route possible! It was raining, there’d been some flooding, it was getting dark and we were in two cars, one of which contained two very young children. By the time we got there, we were fed up, the shops were closing and the kids had really had enough. So we wandered around for a bit before heading back to the house. Our house, however, always managed to cheer us up. It was the most beautiful former granary set in a gorgeous setting surrounded by countryside. Sadly, the few photos we took from the outside seem to have been lost, probably deleted by accident. But I did manage to take a few inside, albeit none can really show what a fabulous place it was…
Our house, however, always managed to cheer us up. It was the most beautiful place (a former granary) set in a gorgeous setting surrounded by countryside. Sadly, though, the few photos we took from the outside seem to have been lost, probably deleted by accident. But I did manage to take a few of the details inside, albeit none that can really show what a fabulous place it was. One of the things I loved about the place was the styling, I guess you could call it shabby chic – a style I’ve grown to love in recent months (remember my bedside table post?)
I’d love to return in the summer months and be able to enjoy the wonderful garden out the back of the house. The granary itself had a large open plan kitchen, dining and living room – really airy with plenty of room (ideal for my eldest niece to play around on her scooter) as well as a big conservatory, it had three lovely sized bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms. It really was a treat. I completely fell in love with the place and hope to go back one day.
