A place to explore
This relatively undiscovered part of south Snowdonia is naturally beautiful whether on foot or on bikes. There are true mountains, like Cadair Idris, as well as miles of trails taking in ancient woodland, clear mountain streams and waterfalls, coastal paths and miles of rolling green fields, forests and upland. You’ll be far from the crowds that this end of the Snowdonia National Park, for a real opportunity to explore the true wilderness of Wales.
A short 10 minute drive is the historic market town of Machynlleth, once the ancient capital of Wales and home to Owain Glyndwr, the heroic welsh rebel of medieval times. The town hosts a busy market every Wednesday and is home to a great range of independent shops, galleries, cafes and pubs, as well as a large Co-op supermarket for essentials.
Further into the Dyfi is the ‘Centre for Alternative Technology (CAT)’ as well as a Corris Craft Centre and ‘King Arthurs Labyrinth’, set deep underground in slate caverns and tales of legends that will capture the imagination of the whole family.
Heading west to the coast are the popular seaside towns and beaches of Aberdyfi and Towyn. There are stunning open beaches and dunes too at Ynyslas and Borth. Bala, to the east, is famous for its fishing and whitewater rafting and the world-renowned mountain biking trails of Coed Y Brenin are about 30 minutes to the north.
Surrounded by nature
Large feature glazing and balcony provides unique views of the surrounding oak trees and rolling hills beyond.
“We had the most amazing stay! The treehouse was perfect and my partner enjoyed the nearby moutain bike trails. Our springer spaniel loved his stay too, I think he was just as sad as us to be going home. We went on some lovely walks with the most amazing views we have ever seen. We all really enjoyed this stay so much. Will definitely be back.”
