Located on a family farm in a scenic valley, this impressive property offers a haven of tranquillity and plenty of entertainment for a family or group of friends close to Snowdonia and Cardigan Bay. The pretty village of Cemaes is a mile away, with a shop, cafe and pub, and there are further amenities in the market town of Machynlleth, including antiques shops, lifestyle stores and galleries.

The fully fitted kitchen/diner is modern and spacious, set beneath a beamed ceiling with a stylish dining table and chairs, while next door the lounge has a selection of comfortable seating, a large TV, and a stone fireplace with a wood burner for cosy nights in. There’s a utility room with storage for coats and shoes, a shower room, and a games room with a selection of table games and a piano. 2 sets of stairs lead up to the first floor, where you’ll find an upstairs lounge with a corner sofa and a picture window with stunning views of Cader Idris and the surrounding countryside. There are three elegant and welcoming bedrooms, a king-size, a super-king-size that can be converted to a twin, and a large single, plus a family bathroom.

We had a wonderful Oct half-term break in lovely Hafod Gau. On our first day we bought an OS Explorer map of this area from the book shop in Machynlleth and we enjoyed beautiful, autumnal walks in the local area, with stunning views. We recommend walking down to the village shop/cafe, where we had delicious home-made cakes and hot drinks. The frienRead moredly shop/cafe dog called Cairo was a big hit with the kids. Snowdon is about 1.5 hours drive away. We booked parking at Pen-y-pass online the evening before going. We went up the Pyg track and down the Miners track. It was very very windy (especially when climbing higher) and unfortunately it wasn't safe to climb up to the summit but still a great trek and adventure. Aberdyfi is a picturesque seaside village, about hour drive away with a lovely beach. We went there for a beach walk towards Tywyn and then headed up into the countryside, walking back to Aberdyfi with fantastic coastal views. Thank you so much for making us feel so welcome, and for providing such a great place to unwind, enjoy nature and spend family time. Love and best wishes Hide

Thanks for a lovely stay. Beautiful cottage in a wonderful setting. Recommend local walks and canoeing on Tal-y-llyn lake. Also a card that their daughter had made herself with the following inside: Thank you for letting us stay in your lovely cottage. The games room is my favourite.
