About the home

The renovation of Llwyncelyn has obviously been a labour of love for owners Di and Paul. Their attention to detail and care during the restoration process is apparent in every corner of this lovely two bedroom stone built cottage in Dinas Mawddwy.

The view out the window is of course spectacular but it’s the small details that really impress.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
The kitchen-diner is small but full of character. Natural materials such as oak and Welsh slate have been used where possible. The original roof beams have been exposed and a log burner sits on a grey slate hearth. Off to the left there’s a small utility room with washing machine and fridge freezer as well as the ground floor shower room and WC.

The original inglenook in the lounge next door was a surprise discovery for them. Its restoration and the introduction of a small log burner provide a natural focal point to the room. The hand made wind chime hanging on the wall, the cast rose-head nails used to fix the wood panelling as well as the oak ledge and brace doors are all testament to their care and devotion.

Two bedrooms upstairs. One bedroom has a double bed with fantastic views across the valley. The second bedroom has a single day bed. This can be expanded into a double but that would be a bit of a squeeze for guest staying for a week or more.

Looking down on Barmouth and the Mawddach Estuary

The Powys / Brecon Beacons / Powys region

Anyone familiar with this part of southern Snowdonia will know how spectacular the landscape is in this area. And Llwyncelyn is in a prime position to enjoy it, looking as it does, across the Mawddwy valley. ‘A walker's paradise’ is the standard phrase reeled out, but it’s undoubtedly true in this instance. Less crowded than the slopes of Snowdon, the mountains in this part of the national park provide a real opportunity to explore the true wilderness of Wales.

The Machynlleth / Dinas Mawddwy area

Not as wild as during the 16th century however, when ‘Gwylliaid Cochion Mawddwy’ or ‘The Red Haired Bandits of Mawddwy’ prowled the high pass leading to Dinas Mawddwy. Their red hair helping them to hide away in the autumn bracon. Their notoriety is preserved in many of the names of local places including the village pub, ‘Y Llew Coch’, The Red Lion. Thankfully the pass is now free of highwaymen so guests can easily travel to the numerous tourist destinations. The seaside towns of Aberdyfi and Towyn are a short drive to the south west. Bala, to the east, is famous for its fishing and whitewater rafting.

Corris, another nearby village, has the world renowned ‘Centre for Alternative Technology’ as well as a small craft village and ‘King Arthurs Labyrinth’, an underground tour certain to capture a child’s imagination. But anyone with a love of the great outdoors is sure to enjoy a stay in this lovely cottage.
