Reviews

We absolutely loved staying in this cottage! Lovely and clean, well equipped and lots of little extras such as hand soap, washing up liquid, kitchen roll etc. It is in a beautiful and peaceful place and the log fire was perfect in the evenings after a long day exploring! Would definitely stay here again!

Mrs R,

Absolutely stunning property and location. For a quiet relaxing break you would be hard pushed to find a better location.

Mrs Annabel P,

Ten out of ten was my comments at the cottage.

Mr Philip J,

Excellent standard of accommodation, accurate information and timely dissemination of details needed for a successful, stress-free holiday in a lovely peaceful location

Mrs Natalie S,

We (2) stayed for a week at Easter 2023. The cottage is beautifully, well maintained and well off the beaten track, so it's very quiet. The kitchen is clean and more than adequate, although some of the pots and pans could do with replacing. The living room is spacious and comfortable with 2 sofas, and the owners left a good amout of logs for the burner. The TV is freesat not a smart TV which is a shame. The double bed is comfortable and warm, with plenty of pillows. The bathroom has no bath but does have a good size electric shower. There is a second toilet downstairs. The outside has a good size table where you can sit a listen to the birds singing and watch for the Kites circling overhead. The lights on the bridge are a nice touch. Overall we had a lovely time staying at Hen Gapel with no complaints.

Mr David G,

A perfect stay in a fabulouse cottage in a beautiful location. Just bring your own frying pan if you plan pancakes for breakfast, lol.

Mrs Clemy G,

Located in a small hamlet not far from the village of Aberhosan, this lovely Machynlleth holiday cottage is in peaceful surroundings with a little stream at the edge of the garden and an adjoining woodland for tranquil walks. The cottage is semi detached and the large south facing garden offers the perfect setting to relax and enjoy the song of the birds.

This Machynlleth holiday cottage is just 5 miles from the town itself – a beautiful market town which is also the Ancient Capital of Wales. Machynlleth offers lovely little cafes, plenty of unique shops, two supermarkets and a number of good restaurants. Some of the recommended restaurants include Number 21 and Wynnstay in Machynlleth, Black Lion in Derwenlas (8 miles) and Glanyrafon in Pennal (10 miles). You will also find all the amenities you need in Machynlleth including banks, garages and a number of takeaways and pubs (including the White Lion and White Horse).

Amongst the main attractions are the sandy beaches at Aberdyfi and Ynys Las (at opposite ends of the Dyfi estuary) and the glorious mountains of Snowdonia. You also have a number of great days out to choose from, including a relaxing ride on Talyllyn Railway, a visit to the RSPB Reserve and Ospreys Project at Ynyshir, the Centre for Alternative Technology, King Arthur's Labyrinth and Corris Mines. The seaside town of Aberystwyth is also worth a visit, home to the National Library of Wales, Vale of Rheidol railway, a traditional cinema and the largest arts centre in Wales.
