Converted Watermill With Beautiful River And Majestic Mountains On Its 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, 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 and fire bowl. 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. Or just stay indoors and watch beautiful, natural world go by through the big picture windows. Y Felin has very good WiFi (free), separate utilities room with additional freezer, washing machine and dryer.

PLEASE NOTE: The house and patio will be refurbished in the early spring of 2022, cooking utensils and patio furniture replaced in order to be in prime condition.

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.

The best place to enjoy Wales
Our stay at Y Felin was fantastic. Ruth, the host, had told us it was a special place and this proved true in every way. The setting is rather secluded yet very easy to access (by car), the scenery is absolutely breathtaking, and the house itself was a total delight to stay in. Everything is well-designed, with quality furniture and generous supplies for all our basic needs. The house, which is quite spacious, sits on a farm, so every day you are surrounded by peaceful grazing sheep and the sound of the flowing river nearby. There's no one else around to distract you. Hiking or more relaxed strolls abound as soon as you step out. And accommodations, groceries, etc. are easily accessible (about 20 mins drive). We would come back in a heartbeat!

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.

What a wonderful stay in this hidden gem of a property in an idyllic location. The property is very comfortable and well equipped with everything you could need. Wood burners add the perfect cosy touch. The views all around are beautiful and the sound of the river was so relaxing. We hope to go back soon x

Great Stay
A great long weekend, very lucky with some sunny and dry weather. Cycled the Mawddach Trail, visited local villages and towns (although some things were closed as out of season). The property is well furnished and the photos don’t do the location or the quality of the property justice, very private and peaceful with amazing river and Mountain views. Highly recommended.

Spectacular views and surrounds
Awesome views of mountains from picture windows with river frontage. Isolated location but brilliantly located for walking. Local towns a short drive away for all your essentials. Ideal for keen walkers and nature lovers - otters in river next to house and loads of birdlife. House is inverted - lounge really spacious with well equipped kitchen. Perfect retreat for those rainy days with good WiFi

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.

Beautiful and peaceful
Ruth was a great host, she sent a fantastic detailed information pack about everything for the house and things in the local area. She was very communcative and it was very easy to check in. The house is surrounded by beautiful scenery and the river is lovely to watch and listen to. We really enjoyed watching the animals at the farm from the windows too. We enjoyed a trip to the local waterfalls which we took the lobely Tal Y Llyn steam railway to get to. We also enjoyed a refreshinf swim in the Tal Y Lyn lake however i recommend walking there from the house as the only place to park is a hotel with strict and pricey parking. The walk is along the main road with jo pavement but its fairly quiet and we had no problems. We all really enjoyed the trip and have already said that we wild definitely go back to the area and the house.

3 night stay
Very happy with our stay at Y Felin. The property is lovely and really is secluded and peaceful. The river seemed quite loud at night, a bit like it was raining heavily, but it wasn't unpleasant. As cautioned by the owner we had to keep our dog on the lead when outside to prevent her chasing the sheep that roamed thd property. This was more than made up for by having lambs trotting around the garden. The amount of sheep dung was a minor nuisance but, again, was worth it for the lambs (and it is a farm after all). Views from the lounge were dramatic and beautiful and we felt very comfortable here. The house is well equipped and nicely furnished. Would stay again, especially if walking Cadir Idris as it's so close.

A fabulous property in a stunning location
This was our second stay at Y Felin and we absolutely love it. Surrounded by wildlife (sheep, cows, red kites and other birds), the place is so peaceful and perfect for letting your hair down. The river running right next to the cottage is a lovely addition, and the dog loved a paddle (but definitely keep them on-lead!) We were treated to some RAF Hawks flying low overhead and also a clear night with dark skies. Albeit relatively remote, the location of the cottage is ideal if you want to visit the magnificent lake which is a short drive or walk away. The property itself is excellently laid out, with its open-plan space providing lots of room, and the upside-down structure providing fabulous views from the large windows. The kitchen is well-equipped, the bedrooms comfortable, and the fireplaces lovely and warm. Ruth is great with her comms but lets you enjoy your holiday without disturbance. We will probably return for a third stay!

Beautiful setting
We had a wonderful stay at Y Felin. The property itself is spacious and modern, and the upside-down layout makes the most of the good views out of the large windows. The place is comfortable, well-equipped, and well-furnished, and the fireplace is lovely and warm (logs supplied). The location is extremely peaceful and picturesque. We had acres and acres of land to enjoy to ourselves for walks, saying hello to the sheep as we passed! The mountains which surround the property are awe-inspiring and magnificent. Unfortunately we had cloudy skies but we could appreciate how dark it was for potential stargazing. Most impressively, the fast-flowing river which runs through the land right next to the property is a real treat. Good communication from the host when required. After a very minor hiccup with check-in, which was resolved very quickly and professionally, we enjoyed every minute, and we will hope to be back soon!

Lovely New Year’s Getaway
We had a lovely stay in this magical house. The pictures do not do the stunning open plan layout and bathroom justice! We loved how the nature was brought inside by all of the windows. The giant mugs were a hit for all of our teas after a wet winters walk and the kitchen-diner suited our needs. The perfect stay for people who want to relax, take-in nature and find activities basically on their doorstep!
