Reviews

Ysgubor Newydd is a beautiful and cosy space. Comfy beds, well-equipped kitchen, and all in a fantastic location at the very centre of Machynlleth. Highly recommended.

Miss T,

We had a very successful two day stay. Kitchen equipment fab. It really was comfortable, warm and easy living. Thank you

Mrs G,

Full of charm and character, we have loved staying here.

Mr H,

Great location, very handy for all amenities. Good that there is a reserved parking space. Nice and warm.

Mrs B,

Staying in the oldest property of Machynlleth gives a special feeling. The house is fully equipped. In the front of this property is a wonderful bakery! And it is on the doorstep of Snowdonia and near the sea.

Mr V,

The cottage is very cosy and welcoming. The decor is sympathetic to the history and style of architecture. It is in a perfect location for exploring the area as most of the places we visited were within half hour drive. Lots of beautiful walks in forests, coast, sand dunes, nature reserves, waterfalls, rivers, craft centre, heritage railways, mines. The town has plenty of places to eat, we especially enjoyed the deli on the corner of the house and the vegetarian restaurant. The fish and chips and takeaway from the nearby Indian were very good as were the freshly made pizzas from the deli, cooked only on Saturday evenings, very popular. Lots of interesting shops and a well stocked Co-op. We had no issue with parking behind MOMA as it is only a two minute walk away.

Mrs C,

Lovely property with lots of history in a great location. Used as a base to travel to mountains, beaches, castles and market towns. The welcome pack on arrival was a lovely touch and much appreciated, tea, coffee, sugar, milk, cake and even a bottle of wine! Bonus of being able to park at MOMA just around the corner. Lovely, spacious upstairs living and kitchen area. Would definitely recommend.

Ms O,

Lovely old historic building in centre of town ,yet quiet at night. Good spacious kitchen and dining area.

Ms J,

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay . A great position for a holiday let . The deli next door more than made up for having no outside space !

Mrs M,

Lovely, spacious cottage with lots of character and charm. Right in the centre of town so close to all the local shops and cafes, yet still quiet and peaceful. Also surrounded by hills with great walks and stunning views. Highly recommend and we will return again.

Mr G,

Ysgubor Newydd is an attractive and comfortable property in a very central location in Machynlleth. We stayed as a party of four walking sections of Glyndŵr’s Way - it was ideally suited for this. Given its location we had been concerned about noise and parking, but neither was an issue. The neighbourhood was extremely quiet and we were able to park our two cars close by whenever needed - on-street parking is unrestricted just around the corner beyond the cottage. We’d certainly recommend Ysgubor Newydd.

Mr S,

This is excellent accommodation for a family with two kids. The location is spot on as the cottage is on a quiet side road just round the corner from the main drag of Machynlleth. The town itself is superb and well placed for the surrounding area. The bathroom is amply as are both of the bedrooms. The upstairs kitchen-dinning room-lounge is a fantastic space where you really feel the sense of history of the property with the wooden roof beams, but with all the mod-cons. The whole place has been refurbished to a very high spec and in a sympathetic manner preserving the character of the building. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again.

Mr W,

Ysgubor Newydd is full of history and staying there makes you feel part of its story. It's quiet, cosy & comfortable but so close to all amenities and in a beautiful part of the country.

Mrs D,

Thank you for a lovely stay at your beautiful period property- a fantastic space that has been lovingly restored. It's in an amazing location right in the centre of town, but felt peaceful and quiet. There was lots to do locally and we would definitely recommend the cottage and the area to others.

Ms M,
