What a beautiful and comfortable cottage. We recieved a warm welcome from Gareth and Lillian and there were some lovely treats to start the holiday off. There were all the necesaary supplies for the week. The beds were comfortable as were the sofas and there was plennty of room to sit - so often we find a cotage for 4 has only 4 places on sofas Read morewhereas this has two goos size, comfy sofas and 2 armchairs. The bathroom was spacious and there was plenty of hot water and a great shower. Bird lovers will be treated to many garden visitors. There is much to see in the area and so many good walks, great food and nearby beaches - depending on what you enjoy. We had a very restful holiday and although the cottage is next to the owners house they are very respectful of your privacy yet equally willing to be of help if needed. We would definitely visit again and recommend to friends and family. Hide

An immaculately presented, tastefully furnished and spotlessly clean cosy cottage with many original features - a real home from home! This is easily one of the best holiday cottages we ever stayed in. The owners - friendly and helpful in every way - have made every effort to equip this to such a high standard. There is also loads of storage spacRead moree (including in the bathroom!), plenty of coathangers, a hairdryer, a clothes airer, a coffee machine etc. etc. We were also given a very warm welcome with a cake and biscuits, tea, coffee and milk readily provided - very much appreciated after hours of travelling! This was our first ever visit to Wales and this cottage, in its quiet location, is the perfect spot from which to start exploring this beautiful country. Hide

This cottage is beautiful. It's in a tiny village and is so peaceful. Lillian and Gareth have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable. I rarely sleep well on beds other than my own but the bed was so comfortable. The garden is beautiful and you can relax under the permanent metal framed gazebo with it's lovely table and chairs.Read more Would highly recommend this cottage to anyone and it's a brilliant base for attractions and on the edge of the national park.

We were met by the owners, who were lovely, showed us round and answered any questions we had. The place was clean, well equipped and very comfortable. Even though the cottage is next door to the owners they left us alone unless we wanted to talk to them. The kitchen was well equipped and modern as was the shower room and very comfortable bedroomRead more. There was only 2 of us but the cottage has 2 double bedrooms. There is also an outside area with bbq and seating area. Really lovely. A great place to stay. Hide

We found Degwm to be a comfortable and quirky cottage set in beautiful countryside amongst the dramatic Welsh hills. It's on a very quiet B-road well away from the bustle of Machynlleth town, but still in easy access of its supermarket and other shopping. The gardens are beautifully maintained, and the owners (who live next door but detached from tRead morehe property) are often out and about tending to the garden, working in the garage and doing general maintenance. They are always ready to help - often with their canine friend at their side. The property has one of the best showers we have experienced in some time, and the kitchen is equipped with a range of useful appliances. The property is now heated by Air Source heating, which is a good environmental step, but in the colder weather when we visited it did not adjust quickly to changes in outside temperatures. We were provided with top-up heaters which worked well - we're sure they would not be needed in the warmer months. We very much enjoyed our stay at Degwm and left feeling very refreshed. Hide
