The property

Yr Hen Ysgoldy is a neat pet-friendly converted house resting in Machynlleth, Gwynedd, offering a characterful base for a Welsh escape.

Set within Eyri National Park Snowdonia, this former church school enjoys countryside views, a river and pub close by, and a warming woodburning stove that makes it well suited to friends and families.

Arrive to off-road parking beside the property, with further space available nearby, then step straight in from the roadside pavement into a spacious hallway that creates an easy arrival and provides practical room for coats, boots or carefully stored bikes.

The layout unfolds in a distinctive semi upside-down design, with all shared spaces arranged for coming together and spending time as a group.

On the ground floor, three well-presented bedrooms offer comfortable places to rest, including two twin rooms with open countryside views and one king-size room, all served by two neatly finished shower rooms that make mornings and evenings run smoothly after days outdoors.

The dining room sits at the centre of the ground floor and works as a natural gathering space, where a piano adds charm and encourages long meals, conversation and relaxed evenings together, with the kitchen just off to one side, enjoying views across the surrounding landscape that bring a calm feel to everyday cooking.

Upstairs, the mezzanine sitting room truly forms the heart of the home, a much-loved space with rustic beams overhead, Velux windows drawing in light and mountain views beyond, and generous seating gathered around the woodburning stove, creating a warm and welcoming place for everyone to unwind together with a book, film or quiet chat as the fire glows.

The open mezzanine design enhances the sense of space and connection, allowing the whole group to relax while still feeling close.

Outside, the enclosed garden provides a simple spot to enjoy the fresh air, while a bus stop just outside the property makes exploring the wider area straightforward without always relying on the car.

When you are ready to head out, Eyri National Park offers memorable days of adventure, from tackling the popular routes of Cadair Idris and soaking up sweeping mountain views, to visiting the Dyfi Osprey Project for the chance to watch these remarkable birds fishing and nesting from dedicated viewing platforms, or heading underground with Corris Mine Explorers to uncover the area’s slate-mining heritage.

After a day spent discovering this beautiful corner of Wales, return to Yr Hen Ysgoldy, light the stove upstairs, settle into the mezzanine sitting room and enjoy the atmosphere of this distinctive former schoolhouse.
