As charming as they come, this rustic characterful cottage is bursting with delightful original features that’ll transport you to centuries past, perfectly placed for families looking to enjoy everything the Dyfi Valley has to offer.
After adventuring around your surroundings, head into this reverse-style medieval cottage to feel as though you’ve stepped into the pages of a novel. Dramatic beams lead you through the ground floor and into a choice of two endlessly cosy and quaint bedrooms that’ll send you to sleep dreaming of the historic tales hidden within the walls. If you’re not quite ready for bed, follow the warmth of the electric flame-effect fire upstairs to the open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining room complete with a homely atmosphere and an impressive, vaulted ceiling with exposed timber beams. Get creative in the kitchen with the local produce you’ve collected before enjoying a special family dinner around the rustic dining table. Hunker down for the evening on the comfy sofas and stay up way past bedtime by enjoying the ultimate film night around the TV.
Nestled within the Dyfi Valley, part of the UNESCO Dyfi Biosphere, the rural town of Machynlleth boasts an array of independent shops, plus the oldest street market in Britain every Wednesday showcasing the best local produce this area has to offer. At opposite ends of the estuary, dive into the sandy beaches of Aberdyfi (10 miles) and Ynys Las (12 miles) for a traditional day at the seaside and try out water sports such as sailboarding and canoeing. Known as the southern gateway to Snowdonia, keen walkers can enjoy a myriad of walking trails from Machynlleth; join up with the trail half a mile away following the River Dyfi from the estuary to the source at the summit of Aran Fawddwy.
