Get together with friends and family and enjoy your own secluded setting in this beautiful, hidden valley. Located just 1 mile from the pretty village of Cemaes with its own village shop, cafe and pub and central to the market towns of Machynlleth and Dolgellau. Snowdonia mountains and Cardigan Bay beaches are all within easy reach.
Alternatively, you can simply sit back and be inspired by the countryside tranquility and views, to the sound of the stream and birdsong. With 2 games rooms (pool table, air hockey and table football), an in-ground trampoline, swings, slides etc, there is plenty to keep everyone entertained on site. The grounds around your two semi-detached cottages can also be opened up into one large, enclosed area.
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.
