Plas Rhiwlas

We had a lovely stay in the property. The owners were very friendly, knowledgable and helpful. We found all the things we needed in the well equipped kitchen and we found some BBQ utensils too. The top attic rooms were perfect for the 4 kids, and we used the supplied stair gate in one bedroom doorway to keep the youngest off the stairs. The livingRead more room was comfortable in the evenings and the hot tub was well used. The dining room comfortably accommodated our party of 10 for meals together. The garden space was smaller than we were expecting, but it didnt really matter to us as the weather was a bit too wet to get out in the garden. There was a rear section to the property that was locked off that would accommodate a larger group than ours. We did wonder if another group may be using the other part of the house as there was a separate kitchen, dining area and bedrooms, but I believe this is just opened up for larger groups. Despite a fairly rainy week, we found enough things to do locally to keep us busy. Unfortunately the mentioned lockable storage for bikes was not available as the garage was full, so our bikes had to sit out in the rain all week, but we were not concerned about the security of them at the house. There was a pavement directly from the house to the local town about 2 miles away, and a pavement to the local pub within a mile, although we did not try the pub! We loved the feeling of space in and around the property and the views from the front of the house were stunning. We would certainly consider returning again, possibly with a larger group to make full use of the property. Hide

A lovely spacious and well equipped house with tremendous views. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Plas Rhiwlas. Lots to do in the area: Great walking on the coast and in the hills, osprey reserve, local steam train and museum, industrial heritage buildings.

Absolutely beautiful well equipped property - well maintained - great location with fabulous views the hosts were very helpful and accommodating

What a stunning location. Even when the clouds are rolling over the hills you don't get bored with the views. More than enough space for two families to holiday together without getting under each others feet. Machynnleth is only 3 minutes drive away with a large Co-op for shopping. Aberwyswyth is a forty minute drive away if you want a larger supeRead morermarket. Perfectly located to access the mid to north west of Wales, Portmeirion is an hour's drive away. We took a beautiful train journey from Machynlleth to Barmouth. John and Annie are wonderful, friendly hosts and the Bara Brith on arrival is gorgeous. There's a lovely little pub in the hamlet of Derwenlas (5 min walk) which serves amazing food. Hide

A lovely house for us, a family party aged from 3 to 66. The house was most comfortable and the kitchen very well equipped with lots of large pots and dishes and plenty of cutlery and crockery. It was good to have car free days and walk or get the bus from nearby into Machynlleth on the busy market day or enjoy the scenery on the way to AberystwytRead moreh. Hide

Although I was informed at all stages by you company, when I called the owners to let us into the property they had no idea that they had a booking? So were not expecting us some of things in the house were not ready for us. Other than that the house itself is like a home from home and the surrounding ares are absolutely stunning.
