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

5 stars on all accounts for this beautifully refurbished barn ideally located in the Dyfi valley to explore all the surrounding points of interest. Spotlessly clean and very well appointed with modern bathroom and appliances. Bedrooms were modern with very comfortable beds. The garden has a massive massive lawn which was great for the children to rRead moreun around in. The hosts were very friendly. Very much recommended. Lots of thoughtful touches such as a variety of family boardgames for those rainy days and a lovely vase full of fresh flowers, and welshcakes on arrival. Hide

An amazing property. The barn conversion is a credit to Lillian and Gareth the owners. It had everything we could have wished for and more and all to a very high standard. The mountain scenery and coast in this part of Snowdonia is beautiful. We enjoyed our days out and our return to sit in the peaceful garden.
