This homely barn conversion is in a rural spot between the villages of Glantwymyn and Cemmaes (both 0.5 miles), creating a lovely holiday retreat for couples, friends and small families. It’s in the heart of the picturesque Dyfi Valley, with the majestic Snowdonia National Park just 5 miles away – wonderful if you like hiking and cycling through spectacular scenery. Surrounded by the undulating Mid Wales landscapes and easily reachable via the A470, this home offers a tranquil escape with stunning views.

Made from gorgeous stone on the outside, the inside of the cottage features exposed stonework and brickwork, along with sleek wooden ceiling beams for a rustic appearance. When you’ve been out exploring all day, it’s lovely to relax with fellow guests in the spacious lounge, which is illuminated by natural light from the bay windows. Comfy sofas and a welcoming wood burner set you up for cosy nights in. For eating, you’ll have both a dining table and a breakfast bar that’s handy for perching with coffees and breakfasts. Out the front, there’s a walled front garden with a lush lawn and garden furniture – perfect for fresh-air dining in good weather.

The nearby village of Cemmaes features a pub, coffee shop and convenience store, all within 1 mile. You’ll find plenty to do in the area – Dyfi Bike Park (7 miles) offers adrenaline-fuelled adventures, while the Mach Loop (9.5 miles) offers an exciting spectacle of low-flying aircrafts observable from a number of local spots, including your garden. Further afield, the historic town of Machynlleth (6.5 miles) offers antique shops and galleries, along with a wonderful market every Wednesday.

Such a comfortable and truly dog friendly cottage. Enclosed garden, towel, Pooh bags, cover over the sofas such a great bonus. So many places say dog friendly and theyre not! Hen Stabl truly is. Extremely well equipped cottage but I need need to light the fire for the frontroom to feel cosy - equipment supplied so no problem. Bed super comfy, threRead moree toilets to chose from and two showers. Warm welcome from Kate. With Kates permission I had a field to use to run the dogs around in which was great. It is along a busy main road but fortunately the traffic died down over night. Perfect spot for plane spotting. Very much felt like a home from home. Hide

Coming in February, this was a must every evening, but the novice fire starter in me enjoyed the challenge of building the fire and keeping it going. The cottage was very dog friendly, with a properly enclosed garden area, dog bowl, dog towel and some poo bags supplied. The sofas had throws to keep off muddy paws, but we took our own anyway to ensure they were kept clean. I would definitely recommend Henn Stabl. Hide

Comfortable, spacious and warm cottage, centrally located in mid-Wales. Cosy living space with log burner. Fabulous bath in the main bathroom as well as separate shower. Nicely fitted kitchen. Perfectly set up for walkers and dog-owners. Owners friendly and helpful. Some road noise - not constant by any means but vehicles fly by!

We loved Hen Stabl, and we loved the area. The accommodation was comfortable and characterful. We were close to the historic town of Machynlleth, and the mainline railway station, which gave us flexibility of transport.

Beautifully presented, high-end cottage which immediately felt like a home from home. It was the perfect retreat for our family of four and 2 dogs.

With a good size boot room off the main entrance and a fab space for drying dogs off the garden entrance (poo bags, water bowl and drying towel all thoughtfully provided!), the cottage suited our needs perfectly. The standard of the accommodation was really high - everyone wanted a bubbly soak in that lovely bath!!! The main road running alongside the cottage is busy, but in no way detracted from our stay and the ease of access to main routes made it simple to get about. The owners were warm and welcoming and made sure there was tea, milk and welsh cakes waiting for us on arrival - yum!! Will definitely return as so much to explore in the area and this cottage offers the perfect, cosy base. Hide
