Olive Barn at Cwmhir Court
Just home from a lovely couple of nights away- 2 families, four children ranging from 4-14 and one dog. The house was immaculate, really well equipped and beautiful. The space worked well for two families and different aged children. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen space/ dining was fabulous and social. Very grateful for the milk and cake on arrival, useful items such as dishwasher tablets etc and the dog was delighted with her doggy chocolate bar! Great location- minutes from Hay. Came to visit some family who live locally and will most likely be back. Thank you. 🙏

Splendid Country Cottage Snowdonia
A lovely cottage in a very quiet environment. Rooms were clean and all things needed were there. When you arrive late at night, it could be a bit difficult to see the stone next to the main road that indicates the entrance to the site. Maybe we could consider adding a picture of that stone which had the name of the hall on it?

Gorgeous large holiday home in heart of Snowdonia
Had the pleasure of staying at Harvey’s place at the weekend. We absolutely loved it. Plenty of space for us and our friends. The location is incredible. The house is beautiful with loads of interesting books/pictures. The kitchen is really well equipped. Bedrooms are spacious , bathrooms nice and clean. Harvey was a brilliant host, friendly and informative. Hoping to come back later in the year as 3 nights wasn’t long enough. Highly recommended

Cefn Mawr, lovely barn in a beautiful location.
We loved the layout of this place—upstairs living and downstairs sleeping worked perfectly for us. The floors were quite noisy, but thankfully, with toddlers around, most of our group was already used to a little extra noise! If you're comfortable driving up steep roads, this venue is well worth it. It was wonderfully warm inside, so much so that we didn’t even get a chance to use the fire! There are plenty of activities and adventures within a 15 to 30-minute drive, but the on-site games room is a great option for fun as well. While we didn’t get to explore nearby walks, we noticed plenty of people parked close by, suggesting there’s lots to enjoy in the area. The hosts were fantastic—friendly, helpful, and made our stay even more enjoyable. We’d absolutely recommend this place!

The Dovecote: overlooking the River Teifi
Michelle’s home is in a beautiful location above a really attractive river valley near Cardigan, and is very cosy. We (2 adults and 2 children) had a great time visiting the Pembrokeshire coast from the house, and would definitely stay here again.

Serenity holiday home
Had a great stay at this place and Kerry is such a wonderful host.. went extra mile and helped us all the time..The place was clean and beautifully decorated. My kids really enjoyed it and would come back again.

Touchstone - The Artist’s House
If you want a pristine modern white villa with en suite bathrooms, this isn't for you. It is called the Artist's House for a reason: the multi-level spaces are lofty, with windows in unexpected places, just like being in an artist's studio. And best of all you are surrounded by art, everywhere you look. A great space to relax, socialise, share a bottle of wine.

Stunning Snowdonia hideaway near Harlech
Our family had a brilliant time staying in this lovely home with breath taking views and lots of sheep to talk to! When we weren't strolling the hills, we were camped out as a family in the beautiful conservatory playing games, reading books and just soaking in the view. The underfloor heating was an added bonus on stormy days. I would fully recommend this spot for any family looking to disconnect from the world for a few days.

Your guide to Machynlleth
All About Machynlleth
Once the capital of Wales and the location of the first Welsh parliament, Machynlleth initially appears to be an unassuming market town. Upon closer inspection, you’ll discover a creative hub with a thriving arts scene. The town’s prominent clock tower sits in the middle of the high street, welcoming visitors to the spot where the first prince of Wales was crowned in 1404. A market has taken place here every Wednesday since 1291; the town’s book and antique shops are full of hidden treasures, and art galleries showcase the creations of local artisans.
Machynlleth is located in the UNESCO Dyfi Biosphere, a protected area of natural beauty celebrated for its working relationship between humans and the environment. This natural approach to living is reflected in the town’s sustainable cafes, whole-food stores, and wellness shops. Machynlleth is surrounded by hills and mountains that beckon to be climbed, and Aberdyfi Beach is less than 20 minutes away. Back in town, visitors can while away afternoons with walks along the river bank or linger over a local ale in a beer garden.
The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Machynlleth
Thanks to the town’s proximity to sandy beaches, Machynlleth holiday rentals are very popular during the summer holidays in July and August, when the town comes alive with holidaymakers looking to spot lapwings and butterflies at the nearby Ynys-Hir nature reserve. The famed Machynlleth Comedy Festival is usually held in May and draws in big-name comedians from across the United Kingdom, while the Gŵyl Machynlleth Festival is a musical celebration of traditional Welsh culture that takes place in August.
Booking Machynlleth cottages for the first week in September means that you can enjoy the Glyndŵr Festival, which marks the start of the future prince’s rebellion in 1400. Things get much quieter and temperatures start to drop once autumn rolls around, and some local businesses close over the winter.
Top things to do in Machynlleth
MOMA Machynlleth
True to the creative energy of the town, the Museum of Modern Art is a focal point for the local arts scene. This former Wesleyan chapel known as the Tabernacle now houses the best of Welsh modern art. Home to regularly updated exhibitions, the seven galleries feature a diverse collection of pieces from 1900 onwards. The concert hall also hosts frequent live events, including plays, concerts, and literary shows.
Centre for Alternative Technology
In 1974, in an old slate quarry near the town, eco-activists established the Centre for Alternative Technology to research and promote green living. Today, the community has evolved into an educational charity, with hands-on activities and innovations showcasing the best in sustainability. Arriving on the remarkable water-powered funicular railway is an experience in itself, and sets the tone for the rest of your visit.
Owain Glyndŵr’s Parliament House
This unassuming building on the high street is one of the most historically important in the country. On this site, in 1404, the first parliament of Wales was held, and the centre’s namesake was crowned prince of Wales following his successful rebellion against the English. Today, the medieval house has become a community hub, with an exhibition telling historical stories from the local area.
