Hidden away among rolling farmland on the outskirts of Machynlleth, this converted eighteenth-century miner’s cottage helps get you closer to nature. A private garden offers plenty of play space for younger members of your party, while more active visitors will appreciate the many scenic walks in the surrounding area — many of which begin right at your front door. With Snowdonia National Park reachable in fifteen minutes' drive and the rugged coastline of Cardigan Bay taking about half an hour, this home presents itself as the ideal base from which to explore the varied attractions of Mid Wales. After a hard day of hiking or swimming in the sea, return to the oak-beamed living room and warm yourself in front of the inviting inglenook fireplace — complete with its original bread oven — before retiring to one of the three bedrooms, complete with extra blankets for those cooler nights.
