Set amid specimen trees and Gold Award winning gardens, you will find the tranquility of this hidden oasis. The ancient market town of Machynlleth with its interesting shops and watering holes, historic buildings and wide main street dominated by the clock tower is only 1.6 miles away to the south-west. The town's colourful, bustling street market has been held in the same street since 1291. Machynlleth is in the heart of Mid Wales, both geographically and culturally and is well placed for visits to castles, nature and sandy beaches. The stunning coastal village of Aberdyfi overlooking Cardigan Bay is only 12 miles to the south-west and is a superb sailing centre at the head of a broad estuarial plain which changes hourly with the ebb and flow of the tide.

The family have introduced the latest ideas in sustainable energy as can be seen by the photovoltaic panels (on adjacent house) and Biomass boiler. This assisted in the family's property's achieving the Green Dragon Accreditation, Bee Friendly Park Statue and David Bellamy Gold (1996-present).

The present owners have established a small chalet park on the edge of the grounds which have received several awards for their design and layout.
