Machynlleth is a melting pot of people and interests, making it a unique place to visit. So, what better accommodation for a trip to this quirky town than a medieval house? This home will whisk you back in time with its wooden beams, stone fireplaces and antique curiosities. Luckily the kitchen has had a 21st-century update, but the grand hall is still an imposing place to feast with your family. Culture vultures can wander the streets of Machynlleth, popping into antique shops and local galleries before pausing for a refreshment in one of the cosy pubs. Meanwhile outdoorsy types will be just as content venturing into Snowdonia National Park, where they can explore valleys and peaks on foot or by bike. And the sea is not far away either – a short drive will bring you to the turquoise waters of Aberdyfi Beach.
