Overview
Property code: OC-24537

Llety Hiriaeth offers spacious, cosy accommodation for self catering in Mid Wales and is set on a working farm near Machynlleth. With its own beautiful gardens and babbling brook it is tastefully furnished in keeping with the traditional Welsh farmhouse. Peaceful and secluded, it offers a place for total relaxation – yet is conveniently near to the sea at Aberdyfi, the glorious mountains of Snowdonia and many local activities. The perfect farmhouse holiday.

Ground Floor

The main door of the farmhouse leads in to a large, welcoming hall. From the hall you can enter two lounges, the kitchen, the pantry and access upstairs. At the end of the hall there is the front door which leads into a small conservatory.

The farmhouse has 3 large and comfortable lounges, one with a wood-burner in the inglenook with its original bread-oven. The first and second lounges also have freeview TV and DVD players. The third lounge serves as a reading lounge where you can read or relax in total peace.

The modern farmhouse kitchen with its dining area is located in the old part of the house and is accessed from the main hall down a step. It is well equipped with the usual array of crockery and kitchen utensils. There is an electric cooker, dishwasher, kettle, toaster, microwave and - as you would expect from a traditional farmhouse holiday - a lovely electric Aga.

The kitchen leads into the carpeted lounge with its inglenook and woodburner. The pantry with its slate floor is located on the main level of the house and has a fridge and freezer. The utility with its washing machine and tumble dryer is located up some steps from the kitchen.

Ground floor shower room with WC and wash basin.

Llety Hiriaeth is in a very quiet area of Wales. There are some lovely roads and the drives to the hills and sea are easy, although everything takes a little time due to the location. First impressions of the farmhouse were a little strange. You go up a farm track that has a few run down barns and piles of gravel dotted about. The farmhouse is tRead moreucked away in between the barns and whilst it looks fairly nice, the views are less impressive as on the ground floor the outlook is just onto the afore mentioned barns. The garden lawn was very overgrown and there was a rather sad looking Monkey Puzzle tree that was being strangled by an invasive climbing plant. Such an easy fix to save the tree. What I feel was once a well loved garden, lacked any care now. Upstairs you can see the hills from the windows but I wouldnt really rate the views as such. Inside the house, it felt cold initially, a little unloved and had a musty damp smell. The long living room was extremely dated and we didnt spend anytime in there at all, it was too cold and lacked any kind of homely feel. It was a mismatch of furniture, missing lightbulbs and it didnt feel welcoming at all. We spent our week in the kitchen instead! The kitchen was lovely and clean and had all the necessary equipment. Loved that there was a dishwasher as it meant all the pots and pans etc were clean on our arrival. All too often a holiday can start by cleaning up plates left dirty by previous guests but thankfully, that was not the case here. The fridge and freezer were a good size although the fridge did have a smell to it. Again, more missing lightbulbs in the kitchen/sitting area! We actually found a stock of lightbulbs in the laundry so my husband set about changing the blown ones. Sadly there werent enough spares to replace all the missing ones! These should have been done already though, it shouldnt be down to the customer to perform basic maintenance. The downstairs toilet and shower room were cold throughout our stay, the radiator never came on and couldnt be adjusted. The laundry was good though and the dryer came in very handy. Upstairs, the bedrooms were very spacious and the bedding and towels were lovely quality. However, again it felt cold and damp. The wallpaper was peeling off in places in every room. The upstairs bathroom was ok, the shower worked, but the bath felt a bit scummy round the sides. Overall cleanliness of the house was varied, there were several cobwebs and a large collection of dust especially on the light fittings. The glass light pendants would benefit from a wash in hot soapy water! Overall a lovely old building but it lacks any kind of love. It could be made into a stunning property but it needs work to get it to a decent standard. The photos make it look so much better than it actually was. We wont return sadly. Hide

We have had another fantastic holiday staying here for the 2nd time at Llety Hiriaeth.Last time we came was 2 years ago and I said then it was the most stunning cottage I had ever been to. Well it still is.The cottage is a real credit to the owners who have put a lot of thought into what the guests are provided with. There is nothing more satisfyinRead moreg than walking through the door after a rather long journey and finding a welcome pack of milk,tea & coffee and some nibbles to start your holiday. The cottage is so well equipped with everything you could possibly need. Along with very soft towels and lovely comfy beds the owners have thought of everything. We will definitely be staying again next time we come to Wales. Hide

This was a lovely clean cottage in a beautiful and peaceful location with a nice garden and handy village with a pub and shop within walking distance. There is loads to do around here. We were lucky with the weather but if it had not been good we could have visited Dolgellau or Machynclleth. We would happily stay there again.

This cottage was perfect for us ( walking and cycling). Very clean and well equipped and plenty of space. Good sized bedrooms and two lounge/ lounge areas. Two toilets and two showers are always a bonus. Great location to explore all the countryside and coast this part of the world has to offer. What more can I say, great value and a great holidayRead more. Hide

The property is great with everything required. The host provided an essentials welcome pack which was perfect. Nice to have two lounges with TVs. The local pub, Brigands Inn is a short drive away, 4 miles, and is the best around.
