S/C Studio in medieval farm house Ideal for walkers, birders & writers. | Apartment in Dinas Mawddwy
2 Bedroom Apartment in Mawddwy, Dinas Mawddwy
The south wing of our medieval Welsh farmhouse has been converted to a modern studio apartment with sitting room, kitchen bar with cooking facilities, separate bathroom with heated towel rail, a mezzanine bedroom with a double bed, and an option of a second bedroom with double bed. There is also a large single sofabed in the sitting room.
With large windows and roof skylights plus underfloor heating, the studio feels open and airy yet warm and cosy. A stove completes the high degree of comfort. All this on our sheep farm in a secluded valley in Southern Snowdonia (Eryri) in Wales, surrounded by ancient hills and mountains studded with sheep and, depending on the season, ablaze with foxgloves, bluebells and heather.
The second bedroom is on the ground floor and is available through a private connecting doorway, This is automatically available for guest bookings of three or four people. It is also available for guest bookings of two people if they would prefer either a ground floor bedroom or two bedrooms. In both these cases an ‘additional room’ fee of £45 per night is payable, by card, on arrival.
Our farmhouse, with extensive grounds, is set in spectacular scenery at the far end of a closed valley. As you step out of your studio, you can enjoy a series of lush green seating spaces with dramatic valley views, and listen to the sounds of our own small river, Afon Gelli, or arrange a barbecue. Guests are also welcome to make use of our charming wild croquet paddock.
The valley is in the foothills of the Aran range of mountains running from Aran Fawddwy towards Cader Idris and is ideal walking and/or climbing country. It is also ideal for bird spotters, with over one hundred different species confirmed as either resident or regular visitors. Most of all, it is a tranquil place where the hectic pace of modern life can be totally ignored, and personal harmony restored. It is a place where writers and artists can be truly creative. Your host is a writer herself and is always willing to discuss writing and the writerly world with guests.
Outside the valley, the walking and bird-watching activities continue - including Ospreys and Red Kites - and there is also access to sailing on the sea at Aberdyfi or Barmouth, or on Wales' largest lake at Bala (Llyn Tegid). There is a wide range of pubs and restaurants serving good beer, wine and food. And a short drive away is the traditional Welsh market town of Machynlleth with its alternative culture, a museum of modern art, and a thriving classical and traditional music scene. Machynlleth is also the seat of the ancient parliament of Wales led by Owain Glyndwr. Plus, of course there are the myriad attractions of the Snowdonia National Park, including the world famous slate quarries and their associated narrow gauge railways, plus the world's fastest Zip Line. And, obviously, there is that famous mountain! To crown all this, Snowdonia - Eryri to use its Welsh name – was the UK’s first designated “dark skies area” and offers wonderful opportunities for star-gazing.
For those who must stay connected to the wider world, there is full fibre, high-speed connexion to the internet in the studio, though no mobile signal for a distance of three miles around the property.
