Penycoed Cottage | Cottage in Machynlleth, Wales

“This is the 5th time we have been great for the dogs and great location will definitely be booking again ”

“Another lovely stay in this cottage. You’ll need to take all the essentials and be prepared to buy logs, kindling etc in the colder months but the location is fabulous and the wrap around garden perfect for dogs and a sense of being away from it all. Lovely walks in the area, only a short drive from amenities. This is our 4th stay here and we hope to return. ”

“Our dog's enjoyed the garden. Was lovely and clean. Ver peaceful ”

“Very quiet with very secure garden.”

“Another lovely stay in cottage, host yet again amazing, dogs loved coming back to run around safe and sound, looking forward to going back next year. Only fault is theres not enough days in the week !!”

“When you pull up outside, you’re all excited because it looks beautiful. But as soon as you open the door, that excitement starts to fade, and you start thinking, 'What have we booked here?' There is a weird smell that you don’t get used to, the pictures from the site are not recent and don’t reflect the true state of the property. There are spiders and cobwebs everywhere you look. I understand it’s an old property and there will be spiders, but some of the cobwebs look years old. The property needs a deep clean, a lick of paint, and the bathroom and kitchen desperately need an upgrade. But the worst thing, and the reason we left on the 3rd day and not the 4th, was the mattress on the double bed; it is as solid as a rock and very old, at least 20, 30, or 40 years old. We had to book a hotel for our last night. It’s disappointing because this house could be an amazing place.”

“Check-in was very easy. Communication was great cleaning was ok but There was a lot of cobwebb spiders all in the windows behind the blind. All the cabinets and things the beds were clean. But bed was not very comfy mattress. Needs replacing. Place is in amazing place just needs updating and cleaning better people was lovely ”

“We loved our stay at Penycoed Cottage, which, we were told, is about 400 years old! It is located on a hill, and you get to see some fantastic views as you drive down from the property. Property is pretty well maintained. Mary is wonderful and it was great meeting her. She gave us some great ideas on what places to visit and so on.”

“Great cottage in a quiet location unless the jets fly by which is Great we love it and so do the dogs this was our 4th visit”

“It was our second time staying here. A gorgeous cottage in a peaceful location. Great views from upstairs windows.Large secure wrap around garden (perfect for our 3 year old) Jets overhead if you’re lucky (again perfect for our 3 year old who loved this)Walk down the hill from the house to the river (its a fairly steep hill but great views on the way down and also great for jet spotting. Lots of lovely places for paddling in the river, steam railways nearby (another favourite), lovely beach at Aberdovey only 30 mins away. We adore this place and have enjoyed our stay very much both times. ”
