Details

We are delighted to offer these 5 very private and luxurious architect designed apartments each with a large south facing balcony affording truly breathtaking views of the Dovey Estuary, Ynys Hir nature reserve and Plynlimon Hills beyond. Winding roads lead you to Plas Panteidal hugging the Estuary wall and offering tempting glimpses of the Old Stables high up on the steep wooded hillside. You literally look out (from the apartment or balcony) over the tree tops at the spectacular view and can even bird watch from above!
The Old Stable apartments have recently been converted from the original stable block to the former Bishop of Bangor's Palace which was destroyed by fire in the 1950s. The gated apartments offer superb accommodation in a peaceful location at the southern tip of the Snowdonia National Park. You are just a mile and a half from Pennal and 3 from Aberdovey, Tywyn is a little further up the coast. Aberdyfi is a picturesque seaside town with a magnificent 4 mile beach backed by golden dunes and a championship links golf course.
The owners can arrange temporary membership of the Plas Talgarth Health & Leisure Club (about a mile and a half from the apartments), on request.
There are numerous places to eat and drink in Aberdyfi and the Penhelig Arms (just 2 miles away) is famous throughout Wales for it's warm Welsh welcome and good food.
Aberdyfi is also a great base for visiting many of the major attractions in North Wales and Mid Wales including the Centre for Alternative Technology, Corris Craft Centre, Adrenalin Junkies, Portmeirion and the Tal y Llyn Railway as well as wildlife boat trips, kite surfing, slate caverns, quad & mountain biking, pony trekking and so much more. There is an Outward Bound centre a mile or so down the road that offers canoeing, climbing, outdoor pursuits etc.
If you venture inland a little, there is spectacular mountain and valley scenery; Cader Idris and Aran Fawddwy ranges and the Dovey and Dysynni valleys nearby. The area is ideal for walkers, ramblers, birdwatchers and wildlife enthusiasts.
These are not ordinary apartments, they are very special indeed!
