Description

Machynlleth 10.8 miles. Tucked away in the heart of the Welsh countryside in the hamlet of Bont Dolgadfan, is this renovated cottage, Tan Y Capel. Relax and unwind in this tranquil location, which sleeps up to five guests and offers three off-road parking spaces. Bring along your bike to explore your rural setting and you can keep your bike safe in the secure storage. Be welcomed into the large living room with plenty of seating for the whole group and woodburning stove to curl up beside and savour a hot chocolate. 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 horseshoe-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 medieval 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.

Llanbrynmair is ideally placed for exploring some of Mid Wales’ most memorable natural and cultural attractions. Nearby, the Hafren Forest Boardwalk offers an accessible and scenic woodland walk, leading visitors through beautiful forest landscapes and close to the source of the River Severn. Just up the valley, you’ll also find a picturesque waterfall, perfect for a peaceful walk and enjoying the surrounding countryside. History enthusiasts will enjoy a visit to Dyfi Furnace, a fascinating 18th‑century iron smelting site set in tranquil woodland. Wildlife lovers can head to the Dyfi Osprey Project, where viewing platforms provide the chance to see ospreys and other birdlife in their natural habitat. For a unique local experience, the Star Inn, one of the highest pubs in Wales, offers hearty food and a warm welcome after a day of exploring. Families and adventure seekers may enjoy King Arthur’s Labyrinth in Corris, an atmospheric underground attraction bringing Welsh legends to life, while thrill‑seekers can take advantage of the excellent trails at Dyfi Bike Park, renowned for its mountain biking routes and forest scenery.

An absolutely lovely, spacious and clean property I would have no hesitation in recommending.

The views from the house are incredible and large garden at the rear and a cosy private space at the front. The bedrooms were spacious and a huge landing area my son used to practice his guitar. A fabulous rainfall shower was a real treat with plenty of room. The cottage is in a peaceful hamlet and a shop was a short drive away. Lots of lovely places to visit in mid Wales and we always looked forward to heading 'home' at the end of each day.

A spotlessly clean, quaint cottage for our short stay in Wales.

It had everything we needed as a family of five and my boys especially loved the garden and exploring out of the back gate! There’s so much to do nearby that we were spoilt for choice. Great to meet Brychan before we left and thank him in person for such a lovely cottage!
