Converted Watermill With Beautiful River And Majestic Mountains On Doorstep

Follow the river to find Y Felin – a beautifully converted 16 century water mill in the breathtaking Dysynni Valley and Snowdonia National Park. Lying beneath the majestic mountain of Cader Idris and within walking distance of Llyn Mwyngil (Tal y Llyn), set into the hillside in a peaceful and secluded riverside location. Sympathetically restored to retain its distinctive features: the surroundings are light, airy and welcoming.

Fully equipped kitchen (Nespresso coffee machine, microwave, cooker, fridge, dishwasher, toaster) great open plan living space with huge comfy sofas, a wood burner, and picture windows onto the stunning landscape.

Large outdoor space takes in all the views and has table, chairs, BBQ. Fenced private 'garden' of approx 2 acres - please note the river is unfenced and there are short steep drops in the garden.

The house sleeps up to 8 guests in 3 bedrooms (please note the third bedroom is two bunk beds and not a large room). The master bedroom has private access to the river and a wood-burner. The house offers retreat, relaxation, natural beauty, fine linens and the perfect blend of quality time and access to activities. Nearby are thriving historic market towns including Machynlleth (weekly market and CAT) and the seaside town of Aberdyfi with its miles of sandy beaches, outdoor activities and yachting. Plenty of local leisure opportunities including mountain biking at Coed Y Brenin, fishing, kayaking, sailing, mountaineering. Visit castles, zip wires, steam trains. Or just stay indoors and watch beautiful, natural world go by through the big picture windows. Y Felin has very good WiFi (free), TV, separate utilities room with washing machine and dryer.

We enjoyed every minute of our one-week stay. The house is one of the places which by itself makes a vacation special. Kitchen and living area are very spacious with wonderful looks into the surrounding landscape. We were actually happy about a rainy morning so that we were forced to stay at home and not go out for a hike. We love cooking for ourselves and the kitchen is fully equipped. This is exactly the type of home we are looking for when planning our vacation. Y Felin is ideally located in northern Wales. There are many hikes that start either directly at the house or within a 10 - 20 min drive. Also the coast is only a 15 min drive away.

Peaceful and relaxing

We loved our stay at Y Felin. The property is spacious, comfortable and well equipped. Access to the surrounding farmland was excellent. We walked to the nearby pub on the lake and over the hills to Castell y Bere and Abergynolwyn. Views from every room are stunning. We loved just sitting on the terrace and listening to the stream, the lambs and birds. So relaxing.

Gorgeous and peaceful location

The location was fantastic, we loved looking out of the window and seeing sheep and cows in the garden. The views were amazing that sometimes we found ourselves just watching the little lambs and calves wandering around outside. The property itself was well appointed and we had everything we needed. It looked exactly as it did online. We had some questions on the property prior to booking and Ruth was quick to respond. The information pack sent prior to arrival provided lots of info on walks, restaurants etc.We loved the place and would definitely return. If anyone is looking for a peaceful retreat with lots of gorgeous walks on your doorstep, I would 100% recommend.

Stunning property in such a peaceful location

We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful house, a rare family mini-break now our children are older. The only noises we could hear was the river next to the house and the sheep bleating, bliss.Ruth was extremely quick in replying to my messages which was very reassuring. The only note I will add is that the short road leading down to the house is very uneven and our daughter's MR2 car only just managed to drive down without grounding. You will not be disappointed if you book this, yes it's on the pricey side, but you get what you pay for and we loved it

Breathtaking

Ruth’s property was incredible, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and even extended an additional night. The property and location was fantastic and couldn’t have asked for more, we brought our dog who also enjoyed the area and walks. Will definitely be returning for another visit as it ticked all the boxes for our holiday.

Perfect little gem!

The location and accommodation was perfect for what we were looking for. Although it was lambing season and it limited us to where we could walk with the dogs it was the right time of year to walk them on the nearby beaches! If you need a comfortable homely get away from it all place to stay, then this is the place to go. Highly recommended.

A slice of heaven

I cannot tell you how much we all needed this space. We're collectively kicking ourselves that we didn't book for longer, but hey, it's a damn good excuse to come back (as soon as humanely possible). Surrounded by woodlands, hills and water is easily the best place to be and I think we've found a 'forever' holiday get away here. Everything was perfect.

Beautiful house in stunning location

We loved our stay at Y Felin, only wish it had been longer. Beautiful, spacious house (the pics don’t do it justice at all!) in a breathtaking location. Being by the river was magical, the children adored it. Lots to see and explore in the area. We are already planning a return trip.
