    “The property is somewhat difficult to locate, and you aren’t able to park near the entrance.”

    This could be an issue for those with mobility issues or children, as parking on the main road is also incredibly limited. The property itself is large and comfortable enough for a family of 3/4.

    This could be an issue for those with mobility issues or children, as parking on the main road is also incredibly limited. The property itself is large and comfortable enough for a family of 3/4. The one downside was that the kitchen equipment was quite dirty. There was dried food debris on a lot of the plates, and the cutlery drawer was full of crumbs and food. Some of the glasses were quite dirty and smeared with what felt like grease. My first night was sadly spent washing everything so my family and I could relax and use the crockery without worrying. The property is also quite far from all the main tourist attractions.

    We appreciate all feedback, as it helps us keep improving the experience for future guests,we are glad that enjoyed the space and the cottage offers. We’d like to address a few points for future guests. The property sits at the end of a footpath approximately 30-40 metres from the parking area- this is what allows us to offer the peace and quiet, and freedom from road noise, that so many of our guests love. Roadside parking is available abd we have never had an issue with finding a spot. We do make this clear in our listing. Regarding location: the cottage is in Cemmaes, Powys, in mid Wales- an area chosen precisely for its tranquillity and stunning scenery rather than proximity to tourist attractions. That said, we’re conveniently placed just off the A470, the main route through mid and north Wales, making onward travel straightforward. On the kitchen equipment: we provide a Bosch dishwasher along with an unlimited supply of tablets, specifically so all crockery, cutlery and glassware can be washed to a consistent, hygienic standard between stays. We’re sorry to hear the first evening was spent washing up- we’d encourage future guests to make use of the dishwasher provided, and we’ll also make sure this is signposted more clearly on arrival.

The property

A characterful, stone-built cottage sitting at the centre of Cemmaes on the banks of the River Dyfi, Bwthyn Dyfi makes a beautiful, rustic retreat to base a holiday in Mid Wales.

In easy reach of a variety of coastal and countryside attractions, this quirky cottage is perfectly suited to a family of four or a couple seeking an action-packed getaway within an idyllic location.

Take in the beauty of the cottage with its traditional stone-front and red framing and make your way into the snug sitting room where you will find a warming woodburning stove sat beneath the rustic beams of the room, with an inviting corner sofa welcoming you in to unwind for the evening.

Venture into the kitchen/diner and carry on your conversations around the dining table while the chef of the group delights at the fantastic range of appliances on offer; this room boasts a beautiful farmhouse feel, with its colourful furnishings offering a bright and airy essence to the accommodation, it makes a fantastic social spot from which to toast to a wonderful holiday.

When the day draws to a close, retreat up to the first floor to find your two sleeping spots, made up of a double with exposed stone wall bringing character to the room, with soft, pastel hues and ample storage space, this room is perfect for the adults of the group, whilst the little ones will love cosying up in the neighbouring twin room, a charming, bright and airy space, the layout of the bedrooms is wonderfully suited to a family of four.

The bathroom is an equally as elegant room within the property, echoing blue hues to create a calming atmosphere, here you can choose from a relaxing soak in the impressive freestanding bath which also offers a handheld shower, or a rejuvenating rinse in the separate walk-in shower, both offering a refreshing start to your day.

Outside the cottage you can find an astonishing garden, with a patio area overlooking the tranquillity of the river below and the hills beyond, there's no better place to enjoy a hearty breakfast or a romantic meal with your loved one, offering you the ultimate experience of the Welsh countryside.

The local village of Cemmaes is a lovely base for a Welsh getaway, with a local pub and a coffee shop with a local store, you can find everything needed for a self-catered stay on your doorstep.

Take a stroll along the scenic River Dyfi, packing up a picnic to bring along with you on your adventure, or venture further afield to Aberystwyth to find a plethora of waterside restaurants for a truly indulgent dining experience, as well as parks and gardens to explore before ending your day on its picturesque pier, with the beach's golden sands being perfect for a family day out to remember.

Sat on the fringes of the Snowdonia National Park, you can find a whole host of walking and cycling routes around you; venture up Mount Snowdon to find its peak offering rewarding views, with access via a variety of walking routes or by a train journey for those seeking to simply kick back and relax, or explore by horseback for a view with a difference and a new experience you're bound to love.
