Step through to the contemporary kitchen/diner with everything you need for a self-catered stay including an electric oven and hob, microwave, as well as a washing machine and dishwasher for a fuss-free clean. Enjoy mealtimes at the dining table or why not head outside onto the terraced garden for an alfresco affair? After exploring the Welsh countryside, have a wash in the shower room under the 10 “rainfall whilst your towel keeps toasty on the heated rail. There are two bedrooms to rest your head with a charming king-size and a family bedroom with a double and single bed. Awaken with a cup of tea at the front of the property on the horseshoes shaped patio. The Clywedog reservoir and the Severn River's source are approximately 8-10 miles apart and idyllic for a morning stroll. Machynlleth and Llanidloes, both mediaeval towns, are perfect for history buffs looking to soak in the past. Nestled in the heart of the Dyfi Valley, the charming town of Machynlleth is home to some of the most exciting attractions in the country. The Dyfi Osprey Project is a must-see for nature lovers, and Falconry Experience Wales is a great way to learn more about Wales’s rich birdlife. Number Twenty One is an acclaimed restaurant serving up fresh, locally sourced cuisine, and there are plenty of pubs and bars for a night out on the town. Venture to the town of Llanidloes where The Bryntail Lead Mine Buildings and Llyn Clywedog Dam are just two of the amazing attractions that Llanidloes has to offer. And when you need a break from all the sightseeing, The Unicorn Hotel is the perfect place to relax and enjoy a delicious meal. Take a climb up Cadair Idris or Snowdon mountains to test your stamina, or venture to the coast to see the stunning shoreline. For something for everyone, escape to Tan Y Capel.
Machynlleth is a tiny market town nestled in the undulating hills of Mid Wales. In addition to the traditional street markets held every Wednesday, the town's streets spread out from the 19th-century clock tower and offer a decent mix of specialty stores, taverns, and cafes. The town has two art galleries and is home to the Museum of Modern Arts, Wales, which hosts concerts and lectures in its 400-seat theatre and exhibits the work of a variety of international artists. Machynlleth is only ten miles from the shore, making it an ideal location for enjoying the area's excellent walking, cycling, fishing, and rock climbing.

Alan
Very clean. Good to meet and talk to Brychan (stones of great interest to us all). Other locals were very friendly. Facilities were good for our dog with the enclosed garden, and field behind. Pleasant local walks and within driving distance of lots of other attractions. With a good standard of modernisation it was warm with plenty of hot water and a good heating system. Internet connection good. Would have no hesitation in coming back again, or recommending to others.

The cottage is very peaceful, attractive, comfortable, spacious and well equipped. It is also well located for access to superb walking from the door and to all parts of mid-Wales. We had a wonderful stay and wish we had booked two weeks ! We will certainly return.
