Located on a family farm that enjoys the solitude of its own hidden valley, Hafod Gau provides a beautiful, scenic hideaway near Machynlleth in Mid Wales, close to Snowdonia and Cardigan Bay. 1 mile from the pretty village of Cemaes with its own village shop, cafe and pub, this renovated farmhouse for 5 is the perfect place to immerse yourself in nature to the tune of birdsong.
Hafod Gau is set within its own enclosed garden with an in-ground trampoline, tranquil decking area for alfresco dining, a games room and two living rooms - one upstairs for the views, the other downstairs for those cosy evenings in front of the woodburner. Also on site is a recording studio at the far end of the yard (can be booked in advance should you wish to record your own song or album), as well as another 5 star cottage for 7 next door - ideal if you'd like to have more family or friends join you for your holiday.
Glyndwr's Way meanders through the farm and this national trail will lead you to Machynlleth (the Ancient Capital of Wales) or, in the other direction, all the way to Offa's Dyke. Part of the Dyfi Valley, the Dyfi River flows from Aran Fawddwy (the highest mountain in southern Snowdonia) to the sea in Aberdyfi where you will find a stunning beach with plenty of amenities (18 miles). With an UNESCO recognition as the Dyfi Biosphere, this is an excellent and central base to explore Mid Wales.
