Le-Gro Barns is home to two eco-friendly luxurious holiday homes that can each sleep two to six guests in two bedrooms. This 17th Century stone barn has been beautifully converted to provide holiday accommodation of a high standard that perfectly combines a modern contemporary design with traditional character. The owner's have, wherever possible, sought to incorporate green technologies to reduce the carbon foot print, without compromising comfort or style!
Ideally positioned on the banks of the River Tanat on the Shropshire/Wales borders, Le-Gro Barns is located in Wales and sits within spectacular countryside, affording panoramic views. It is located in the magnificent Tanat valley, residing down a quiet drive in a tranquil position. With Le-Gro Barns being in the spectacular setting of the Welsh Marches, it provides a superb base from which to explore the stunning countryside on the doorstep or to visit the market towns of Welshpool, Oswestry and the medieval towns of Chester and Shrewsbury.
The rivers Vyrnwy and Tanat provide fantastic coarse and game fishing and being set so close to the floodplains of two rivers, the landscape has been shaped by alluvial deposits leading to unique flora and fauna.
Le-Gro Barns provides a wonderful location for a family to have a memorable holiday exploring the many delights that this part of the country has to offer. It is also a lovely place to come as a couple and enjoy a high standard of country living with time to relax and unwind amongst beautiful scenery. Whether you want fabulous country walks, have a fun day out with the children, play a round of golf or simply do nothing but read a book or relax on the river bank, Le-Gro Barns has it all.
The Byre provides ground floor accommodation which has been designed with easy accessibility for wheelchair users, with full width doorways and tiled floors throughout. The Granary sits on the first floor and is accessed by an oak staircase and once inside, everything is on one level with generous proportions and high ceilings offering exceptional views over the surrounding countryside.
The village of Llansantffraid is just over a mile away where you will find a small grocery shop, a garage with a well stocked shop, a Spar and Post Office, two pubs, a stylish restaurant, an Indian restaurant and takeaway and a fish and chip shop. In the next villages of Llanymynech and Four Crosses there are also Chinese takeaways. Oswestry has bigger supermarkets including an M&S food hall and Sainsbury’s.
The medieval town of Shrewsbury is within a thirty minute drive and well worth a visit with its castle, fine architecture, good selection of shops, restaurants and cafes. It has the river Severn running through it and is the birth place of Charles Darwin. Chester, a beautiful historic city is just a little further away and is a must for anyone who enjoys history, architecture and shopping.
