About this property
Machynlleth 5 miles. This former worker's cottage dates back to the 1820s and is situated in the rolling hills of the Powys countryside. Five miles from the market town of Machynlleth and 1 mile from the nearest neighbours, you have all the privacy you need to completely relax at this gorgeous property. Marvellously combining period features with modern touches, Bryndan is an ideal stay for groups of friends or family seeking a relaxing getaway, or perhaps an adventure-filled outdoor break. The sitting room is the perfect retreat after a day of walking, dominated by an Inglenook fireplace with a woodburning stove, whilst wooden beams painted in modern greys offer a homely feel whilst you watch your favourite shows on the Smart TV. Head through into the refreshing kitchen/diner, lined with cream coloured units, whilst a lovely dining table is set for four of you to gather around and enjoy a hearty home-cooked meal. To discover Bryndan's two glorious bedrooms, head to the first floor and choose between a super king-size and a twin room, both with quirky, rustic beams and Smart TVs. In between the two rooms, separated by a spacious landing area, sits the contemporary bathroom with a bath and a separate shower. This historic getaway's excellent features continue outside, where youll find a wonderfully landscaped garden with a lawn and gravel area boasting a hot tub with the most astounding views of the encompassing Welsh hills. Alternatively, stroll around the 10 acres of woodland available to you. Take the scenic drive into Machynlleth, a pretty market town providing a choice of shops, pubs and cafés, as well as attractions such as the Museum of Modern Art, the Machynlleth Clock Tower and Owain Glyndwr's Parliament House. The other side of the town lies the imposing Snowdonia National Park which offers incredible outdoor opportunities for you thrill-seekers. The coast is also within easy reach, with the popular Aberystwyth and Aberdovey beach, certainly worth a day trip. A unique, heart-warming getaway to be enjoyed all-year-round.

That said great location as a base to explore North Wales. Welcome bottle of Prosecco and filter coffee was a lovely gesture, shame we didn't meet the hosts. No mobile signal up here, free Wifi was welcome. Bed and pillows lush as was the hot tub. Cottage has been beautifully restored and has everything you need for your stay.

Rooms very spacious, certainly for two. Property listing could helpfully mention existence of stair gate to keep pets downstairs and that cottage is right by the road (which was quiet during our stay). I'd say garden is informal rather than landscaped. Good access to several nature reserves for days out. Bathroom floor needs some attention:grouting in parts was loose .
