Overview
This beautiful barn conversion is the perfect place for a rural escape, with gorgeous views down across the valley which can be enjoyed from the comfort of your own private hot tub! The barn makes a fantastic base for exploring not only mid-Wales but also North Wales, Shropshire and Cheshire. Small amenities can be found near-by in Pen-y-bont-fawr and Llanrhaeadr, while the town of Oswestry is only a short car journey away.
Inside, the original 18th century barn has been lovingly refurbished while still retaining character and charm. On the lower ground floor is the spacious entertaining areas, including an open-plan kitchen and dining area and one of the twin bedrooms with en-suite. Upstairs, on the ground floor is the living room, separate cosy cinema room and the remaining five double bedrooms, these are on various different levels, three being king size doubles, two with en-suites and a family bathroom. In total the barn sleeps up to 14 guests.
Outside, there is a patio area complete with furniture and barbecue/ fire pit overlooking the lawned garden area which is perfect for alfresco dining. There is a private hot tub from which views over the valley can be enjoyed.
What you should know…
- While the barn is close to local amenities, due to its rural location this is perhaps not the house for those looking for night life!
- Due to the barns being situated on a working farm, guests are permitted to bring only one dog with them and they should be kept on the lead at all times
- Please note that the track up to the Barns is very steep and bumpy so take care when driving up there
- Please note, there is a sharp drop at the end of the patio. Therefore, this may not be a suitable place for children to play

Region
Welcome to Snowdonia, the wild, beautiful wonderland tucked away in northwest Wales! This place is a total jackpot for nature lovers, adventure junkies and anyone in desperate need of a serene escape. Covering a whopping 823 square miles, Snowdonia National Park is like a giant, nature-themed quilt with stunning landscapes stitched together and dotted with soaring mountain peaks, zen-inducing lakes and ancient forests. Oliver’s Travels properties sprinkled across this captivating landscape include charming cottages and characterful farmhouses that will make your heart sing and turn your weary body into a puddle of relaxation.
The pièce de résistance of Snowdonia is none other than Mount Snowdon itself, the heavyweight champ of Wales and England. Standing tall at 3,560 feet, this mountain boasts panoramic views that will make your jaw drop. Nature enthusiasts enjoy hikes from the leisurely Llanberis Path to the hardcore Crib Goch Ridge while thrill-seekers can zipwire until their hearts are content. If you are not feeling the leg workout, you can hop on the Snowdon Mountain Railway for a scenic ride that will have you reaching the summit in style. Bala Lake is a water sports haven with sailing, windsurfing, kayaking and leisurely boat trips on offer.
Betws-y-Coed, the "Gateway to Snowdonia," is a village straight out of a fairy tale surrounded by lush woodlands and waterfalls. It is the perfect launchpad for your Snowdonia adventures, complete with charming shops and pubs that practically beg you to pop in for a pint. For a touch of magic, Betws-y-Coed’s Fairy Glen is a secret fairy hideout with mystical gorges, bubbling cascades and rocks covered in fairy-approved moss. You can take a stroll, have a picnic and let the enchantment wash over you. History buffs should get ready to geek out in Conwy, a medieval town dominated by the epic Conwy Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage site that makes you think of a Game of Thrones set. You will wander through cobbled streets, explore castle nooks and soak in marvellous views. Portmeirion, a village straight out of an Italian daydream, courtesy of Sir Clough Williams-Ellis offers quirky buildings, subtropical gardens and spectacular views of the Dwyryd Estuary.
Snowdonia is a jackpot of nature wonders, historical stunners and villages straight out of fairy tales. Whether you are chasing mountain highs, lakeside tranquility or village enchantment, Snowdonia is amazing!

Lovely!
The location is simply stunning and the views from many of the rooms are beautiful. Even though it was January, we used the hot tub, which has a view across the whole valley. In the evening, having the wood fire on made it a really relaxed, cosy place to be. There's space enough for the adults and children to be together or spend time apart, and having a big TV area with comfy sofas for the kids to watch a film on worked really well after wearing them out with a country walk. The kitchen in the Barns is well stocked and suitable for cooking for a big group, and the big long table meant we could all eat together, which was great.

We would definitely visit again
Ten of us stayed in the barn for a week and absolutely loved it. There was plenty of space for all of us as it's huge, it's beautifully designed with all the old wooden beams and the patio and hot tub overlooking the valley just tops it all off. Brilliant in the sunshine. The beds were extremely comfy and the huge 'U' shape sofa is brilliant for evenings with large groups, great for socialising and very cosy.

Thank you
I booked Upper Valley Barns for my husband’s surprise 30th Birthday. It far, far surpassed my expectations! There was an abundance of snow, the valley looked like a postcard. The houses were genuinely beautiful and very well equipped, we had everything we would ever need.
My friends and I had the time of our lives at this beautiful home. Thank you once again, for the wonderful hospitality, we will be back for sure.
Don't miss out! Reserve now and get a full refund if you change your mind within 48hrs.
