The Pool Cottage

One of a small selection of secluded, semi-detached properties, holiday cottages, that have been refurbished to a high standard in a peace inducing location. Set in an elevated position in the pastoral and afforested hill country of mid Wales, they enjoy communal garden area and planted borderlands with a wide variety of plants and shrubs and an abundance of wildlife. The garden is the perfect place for children to explore and play - a truly `Secret Garden'! The area is noted for its Red Kites. In an area where the River Dyfi and the Aran Fawddwy mountain range meet and lead out towards the beautiful coastal resorts of Cardigan Bay. Just a short drive will take you to the small market town of Machynlleth - a busy place steeped in history, home to the world famous Center for Alternative Technology Just beyond lies the magical thought provoking legends of King Arthur in the tourist attraction King Arthurs Labyrinth, a must for all ages. The wonderful beaches of Borth and Aberdovey are approximately 25 minutes or 12 miles away. Artists Valley as the name suggests, 15 minutes. University town of Aberystwyth within easy driving distance. The holiday cottages are close to the local pub, which is 1 mile away at Cemmaes Village and the nearest shop is 4 miles away at Mallwyd.

The area is a wonderful location for walking and bird watching with over 150 species in the garden, surrounding the holiday cottages.

Cute cottage

Situated in a lovely countryside setting. The area is great for exploring the hills, parks, steam railways and beaches. The cottage is within a tranquil setting but within easy reach of the local villages. People are friendly and the local pubs are welcoming and the food is great. If you’re looking to stay at a base to travel around and explore then this will be ideal.

Very spacious and clean with good shower and bath.

Lovely old place with plenty of room including a big entrance lobby for coats, boots, drying dogs etc. Loads of hot water so baths were wonderful. Two toilets were another added bonus. The bed is amazingly comfortable and it's so dark at night, we both slept like logs. Entertainment was good with excellent wifi and a smart tv. The stairs are a bit steep which could be a problem for the elderly or the infirm. Also it's a bit cool but heaters are provided and there is a log burner. Dogs have to be kept on a lead in the garden which was a shame but I can understand as it's shared with the other cottages.

The property is in poor condition.

The property needs refurbishments. The shower in the bathroom on the first floor leaks through the ceiling in the kitchen, most of the lamps don't work, the curtains are worn, so we did some repairment to close them entirely, the heatage doesn't work very well, so you need to put on warm clothes to keep warm. And last but not least: we didn't see any owner during our stay. We mailed, phoned and texted him, but until now no reaction. I wouldn't recommend staying here. For us it was once, but never again.

Sehr schönes Ambiente, gute Unterkunft, wunderbarer Garten

Alles da, was man braucht. Traumhafter englischer Garten mit sehr alten Bäumen in schöner Umgebung, Gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Kamin (Holz muss nach der ersten Ladung aber extra bezahlt werden), Fernseher, WLan, Mikrowelle. 300 Jahre altes, gemütliches Gemäuer. In der Summe absolut zu empfehlen.
