Located amongst the beautiful rugged countryside of Mid Wales in the Cambrian Mountains, not far from the attractive Welsh coastal destination of Aberdyfi, and the renowned stunning scenery of the Hafren Forest and the Elan Valley, viewing is highly recommended to appreciate all that this property has to offer.

Situation - The Star Inn occupies a prominent location on the popular tourist route from the pleasant market town of Llanidloes in central Mid Wales to the larger market town of Machynlleth, the ancient capital of Wales, near the Welsh coast.

A former mining settlement in the early 1800s Dylife sits high in the Cambrian Mountains in the county of Montgomeryshire just south of the Snowdonia National Park.

The property is currently operating as a successful inn with restaurant and rooms and has been well known locally for its hospitality over many years.

Over recent years the building has undergone considerable investment and renovation in all areas and currently offers an extremely well presented Inn offering public and lounge bars, commercial kitchen, snug, restaurant and dining room along with eight well appointed en-suite guest bedrooms and sauna room.

Local Area - Positioned on the very popular long distance footpath, Glyndwr’s Way, and on National Cycle Route 8 the property is also geared up to welcome cyclists and walkers as it provides drying facilities for wet and dirty clothing as well as a sauna for the aching muscles of overnight guests. Nearby bridleways give excellent outriding opportunites directly from the property.

The area is renowned for panoramic views and there are excellent walks nearby, including to the source of the River Severn and the summit of Plynlimon, one of the highest mountains in Wales. The more challenging mountains of Snowdon and Cader Idris are a short, scenic drive away.

Nearby Lake Clywedog and its tributaries offer sailing and fishing opportunities and also provide beautiful scenery, flora and fauna. Hafren Forest is another local area ideal for horseridng, walking and other outdoor activities.
